Oktoberfest 2009

We are so proud of Paige!  Oktoberfest was her first big competition and she did really well!  She took third place and added another medal to her collection.  She had so much fun!  She loves being down on the ice in front of everyone!  

I'm a little behind so here are some pictures of the past couple of weeks.  The girls have had fun playing outside before the weather starts to turn.  We also had our First Annual Flank Steak Cook Off.  It was a lot of fun and Mike was happy because his Flank Steak was the winner.  Greg, yours was awesome too!

Also, Alli has started walking a lot more.  She is now into everything!  I love watching her walk though, it's so cute!

Here is a video of Alli walking.  It's a little fuzzy.  Mike took it with his cell phone.

New Pictures

Paige started third grade last week. Where does the time go?  I can't believe how big she is getting.  She is such a sweetheart and helps a ton with her baby sister.  

On Saturday we had a friend of Mike's take some quick family pictures up Millcreek Canyon.  She did a great job! I really like some of the photos she took.  Mike was his usual self in some of them.  Good thing I love that man! Just kidding, I love the funny things he does.  Thanks Yvette!

We also got Alli's one year pictures and they are awesome.  Steph always comes through for us, even when Alli is screaming most of the time.  We took the pictures later in the afternoon.  I don't think I will schedule that late again, she was a little tired! Both of our girls love the camera and it shows!

We also had BBQs both Saturday and Sunday with good friends.  I will be sad when BBQ season is over!

My grandma is also in the ICU, so we have been going back and forth to see her.  I really wish she wasn't in there.  Her BP was REALLY low and she was a little out of it.  They think she is bleeding by her kidneys and now has two blood clots (one in each leg) to go with it.  Get well soon Grandma, we love you!

Here are a few of the 400 0r so pics from the two sittings.

Also, here is Alli's one year announcement.I'm happy that she is finally heavy enough to turn her car seat around! 20.6 pounds!
