Autumn is 10 months!!!

I can't believe Autumn is 10 months old!  I probably say that every month!  She is getting to be so much fun!!!  Her little personality is really coming out!

Her favorite thing to do right now, is to throw her binkie and say "uh-oh".  I guess you can consider that her first word, since she says it regularly and in the right context.

She LOVES to jump in her jumper!  She will just jump and jump and jump forever!  I love this picture because it really shows her personality.  She is such a ham!  She is showing her baby cousin, Cozette, how much fun it is to be big!

She loves babies (mostly dolls), and always gives them kisses!  I am constantly wondering how we could have ever gotten along without her!  She is so much fun and so CUTE!!!

Dirt Bike Time!

 Well, it's dirt bike time again!  The girls LOVE going on motorcycle rides and they love to go fast! 

Easter!

We had a great Easter! We went fishing again this year. We weren't able to catch anything though. Our fishing spot is just below the dam, and this year the dam was open all the way, which made for some bad fishing. It was still fun anyway! We stopped by the spawning area and saw a ton of rainbows spawning! It's super cool to see the fish swimming in the crystal clear stream. Fishing on the Missouri at Toston is one of my favorite family activities, especially on a warm spring day! :)

Autumn 9 Months!!!

Autumn is 9 months old! I can't believe it! She is so cute and so fun! She has started clapping and waving. She thinks it is so funny to give kisses! She walks along furniture pretty well, and has even started standing by herself with no hands! She sure is growing up fast! She will follow you all around the house just to be included in EVERYTHING! She doesn't want to miss a thing! Here are a couple pictures from the last month, along with a couple videos! Enjoy!

Fishing With The Girls

Jake went fishing again.  This time he took Maddie and Sierra.  They all had a ton of fun!  Maddie even caught a nice fish!

@ The Library

Most of you already know that I got a new job as a librarian!  I really like working at the Three Forks Library.  This job is so different than anything I have ever done.  I really like being a part of the community and getting to know more people from Three Forks.  I only work twice a week, Saturday being one of those days.  Jake likes to get a break from babysitting and brings the girls in for a bit to visit with me.  The girls really love going to the library, especially Autumn!  Maybe that's because I am there!  ;)  She sure does know the way from the checkout desk to the play area though!  Here are a couple pictures I took the other day of Autumn and Maddie at the library.

Jake and Sierra went fishing the other day. Here are some pics of their day together.

Autumn is 8 Months Old!

Autumn sure has grown a lot this last month. She is crawling everywhere! It is fun watching her cruise around to find whatever she is looking for. She really loves to stand whenever possible (holding on to something of course). She especially loves helping me with the dishes. It is probably her favorite thing to do. She just wants to be big! I'm pretty sure she will be standing without holding onto anything before we know it. She also got her first tooth! Lots of exciting things happening in the baby world around here!

Maddie was the Queen and Autumn was the Princess.

Doing dishes!

Look closely and you can see her tooth!

I call that talent!

Also, Sierra was in a play a few weeks ago, Tacky The Penguin. She played Lovely the penguin. She did such a good job with her parts. She was the only penguin to stay in character the whole time. We were so proud of her!

I Love Three Forks...

... and this is why.

About a week ago, and boy from our ward/neighbor was badly injured while skiing. He broke his neck and back and was originally diagnosed with only an 8% of a full recovery, and probably a quadriplegic. His family has been writing a blog keeping everyone up to date about Wesley's progress. You can read his story here. Within hours of his accident I was sent two texts and received a phone call from the Bishop and even a visit from one of the neighbors informing us about the accident.

I have been truly amazed how the community has come together to support Wesley and the Greene family. Wesley's friends have even made "Team Wesley" shirts. Even businesses around town have put up "Team Wesley" signs to show their support. Last friday was "Greene Day" at the Three Forks school. Everyone wore green shirts and they all gathered in the gym and made a video to show their support for Wesley. GO HERE TO SEE THE VIDEO.


Sierra happened to have a play at school on "Green Day". When we went to her play, my heart was full of joy to see how many people supported Wesley and wore green. I would say about 99% of the kids I saw walking through the halls were wearing green. Even a lot of the parents who came to the play were wearing green.

I have always loved the town of Three Forks, but just seeing how this community has come together to support one boy makes me love the town so much more! Go Wes Go!
