It's Autumn Time! It's Autumn Time!

So we just sang It's Autumn Time in Primary last week and that song is totally stuck in my head. But it's true and I thought I would post some fun Picture of a hike we did on Saturday. It was the Crecet Lake Trail up by Alta Ski Resort, but Carston says it is called Secret Lake. Anyhow it was really a fun time. And since, true to how we are, we didn't have my camera for our post anniversary date picture or the fun hay ride we went on on this weekend, we tried to make up for it by taking a huge photo shoot on the hike! I hope everyone is having a great Autumn Time with all the pretty leaves falling down!



Isabelle's newest words, Hot and Ball!
And the cutest thing. I love when we say prayers and she folds her arms for all of two seconds, but then as soon as she hears the word, amen, she totally, very quickly, folds her arms again!!!!

Carston had a great Man's Trip, diving in Catalina. And I have to admit if my husband is going to be a hunter, I am a lot happier to have him bring home lobster, halibet, and Bonita rather then an elk or a deer. Too bad he couldn't bring home the octopus as well! Thanks my mighter hunter for the yummy food!

So much to do and so little time!

This past month has been so fun. Karl had a fabulous wedding. My parents moved to Missouri. Exciting but very sad!!! Can't wait to visit. I can totally feel this wide open space between us with them being so far away. And I had a great time on a girls trip to New York with Melissa Sauter. I love the city and am so glad we went. I loved, loved, LOVED, Mary Poppins. Loved the shopping, A Tale of Two cities, and walking across the Brooklyn Bridge. And I loved going to Harrison to visit my Nanny family all in the Rain. Thanks Melissa for a great trip together! Carston is leaving today for his boys dive trip to Catalina today with Ben Sauter. We also went to St. George and saw Cam, Mandy and the kids, which I hopfully with get pics soon and Izz had her first hair cut!!!!! Oh yea and for the first time will be spending our first anniversary apart. This Thursday the 9th, it will be four years! And I am so happy to say I love my little family, now and forever! Cheesy, but true!

I love the word 'No, No, No"!!!

So Izz loves to walk around the house to all the things she is not suppose to get into, (ie, trash can, toilet, garbage cans, heater vent covers) and say the now famous, "no, no, no" while pointing her finger. But then she still proceeds to get into everything she is not suppose to. Too bad it's so dang cute. So the other day while I heard her walking down the hallway to her room I heard her say "mmmmmm"!! So I finished what I as doing and went to check on her, and this is how I found her.......


Needless to say, I hope she grows out of eating out of the trashcan sooner then later! And Yes I do feed her and Yes she does eat just about anything, even rinds!

Little Miss Hawaiian!

So this last weekend my granparents, Selma and Elmer Wiedmeier, had their 50th Wedding Anniversary. My grandpa was so cute and told me he hopes we all make it to 50 as well. I laughed and thought about how I only have a little more then 46 years to go!!! Anyhow it was a Louau and after a while everyone began shedding off their lays. I watched in amazement as Isabelle picked up at least 10 lays and put them all around her neck, one at a time, all by herself. Then spent the rest of the night jabbering and runnig around like they weren't even there!



We had a fun time at the McCullough family reunion in Bear Lake!




We hiked to Bloomington Lake and Izz loved the hike as long as I gave her wild flowers to hold!
























Izz's first Carousel ride at Lagoon!





















Isabelle's Many Faces!

Miss Izz is One Year Old!

It's crazy to look back on just one year ago and to see Isabelle so small. We totally thought we loved her so much and we did, but now as I look at her sweet little face I can honestly say that I swear I love her more everyday. She has had a great first year. It has been simply a wonderment to watch her grow. From her first smile, to her first laughs, to her learning to roll, crawl and walk and dance! I have never heard a child from nine months on say the word Hi sooo many times. From day one it's been the best to get Izz out of bed, she is always so happy and ready and waiting with a giant smile. Although lately I have noticed since she only gets her binks at nap times and bedtimes, she like to sit in her crib a bit longer in the mornings, becuase she knows I will take it away as soon as she gets up. I could go on and on about how much I love this gorgeous girl. She has been signing the word more for a while now and now does please and did milk really well just this morning. I swear she answers questions and says more words then we really catch on to. She gabbers all the time and waves Hi, bye and blows kisses, and if your lucky gives you real kisses! She loves to be chased and loves to hand Chewy his toys! She is constatly doing things that are so darling and cute we hope we never forget them. We had a great family party complete with food, presents, cake and ice cream, rain and rainbows and missed the few that couldn't come! But truely we find ourselves sincerely blessed to have Isabelle Marie apart of our lives. She truely and honestly makes each day happier and brighter. We can not imagine our lives without her!

Fun in the Lake Powell Sun!

We had a great time at Lake Powell this year! Marion brought fun dress up things for the girls, and a pinata that was so much fun! It is definatly fun to see the kids play and have so much. And it makes me realize how much fun they will have together, especailly as they get older. The kids all slept great, we played fun games, swam and boated with great weather and free fireworks everynight!!! So thank'you McCullough Family we love you!(The pictures are kind of pixalated sorry)

No Pictures....sad!

So we really are having a great summer. But unfortunatly we never seem to have our camera with us. Poor Izz looked so darling on the 4th and we didn't have a picture to prove it. For sure I'll start snapping soon!!!!
