Sam's Phone Pictures from September

 I just cleared all the pictures off my phone. Here are a few of the ones that I took in September.

We had a FHE lesson about the First Presidency and the Quorum of the 12 Apostles.

(It seems disrespectful that this pictures is upside down but for some reason that's how it uploaded.)

 

Shopping at Sam's Club.

 



One-on-one time with Eli while both of the girls are at school.

 



Eli loves the basketball court and hoop in the middle of the complex.

Probably because he frequently sees his dad playing their with all the 12 year olds.

 



Lexi drew this picture of her dad in Sacrament meeting.

Then she held it up high so he could see from the stand.

 



Eli and I played outside a lot while the girls were at school because

Avery couldn't do a lot of outdoor things with her boot and cast.

 



Eli and I took a trip to the library by ourselves. Going places with one kid seems so easy now!

 



Sean and I took turns taking Lexi to String Camp.

 



Sean and I went to Yogurtland after my night at String Camp.

 



Avery is the funniest. She just loves laying and lounging around. I found her like this one morning.

 



Suckers and they are instantly quiet and happy.

 



We go on family walks around the complex almost every night.

One day, Eli didn't want to let go of the scriptures he was looking at.

He wanted to carry them with him on the walk. He's so spiritual.

 



It's just too fun not to play with the costumes at Target...

 



Shopping at Best Buy. Sean got Chrome Cast and we love it!

 



Family date night at Yogurtland. We love that place!

 



The girls playing in my Grandpa's backyard. Look at the "Fairy Garden" in all the rocks.

The girls were fascinated by them.

 



Eli unsure about the car wash.

 



Avery just being Avery on the swings...

 



Lexi pushing Eli.

 



Wendy's. The kids were excited to each get their own water.

 



When Lexi saw these pumpkins she exclaimed, "Those are expensive! $99!"

 



Shopping at Target with Thing 2 and Thing 3.

 



Sean being the counselor in the Branch Presidency over Primary goes to Primary a lot.

The kids just love him. He is always doing something hilarious!

 



Here's Lexi at P.E. at school. Which was all in Spanish.

 



And here she is at running time at school. She is all smiles when I come to school every Monday.

 



She's just the cutest little student!

 





One More Year Until 70!

 Today is my dad's 69th birthday.

(One more year until his over-the-hill party!)

The girls drew these pictures of my dad.

I love their artwork.

First, here is Lexi's picture.

I love that Lexi still gives my dad cotton ball hair.

 

And here's Avery's picture of my dad.

She's getting so much better at drawing people.

 



And here's a picture Avery drew of herself with Grandpa.

 



Lexi drew this picture of her and Grandpa walking in the rain

to Grandpa's mailbox to get his newspaper.

Lexi, my dad and the mailbox all have umbrella's.

 

 

And I grabbed a few pictures of my dad with the kids because he really is the best grandpa.

Here he is meeting tiny little Lexi for the first time.

 

Washing my mom's van with Lexi.

He's always been so active with the kids. You can just tell that he loves them.

 



At the botanical gardens in Albuquerque.

 



Walking along the beach after riding a ferry. It was a cold February day in Washington.

But the girls had a blast!

 



I absolutely love this picture of my dad reading to Avery.

 



Grandpa "playing" with baby Eli.

 



My dad carrying Eli around temple square.

 



Cuddling with Lexi.

 



Grandparents covered in wild and crazy kids.

And you can just tell that they wouldn't have it any other way.

 



And this picture is from one of the happiest days of my life.

It is the day that I was sealed to my parents for time and all eternity

in the Seattle Washington Temple.

 



And this is my favorite picture of my parents. It's framed and hanging on my dinning room wall.

I look at them everyday.

(And for some reason my computer is making them looked a bit air brushed.

They just look super celestial.)

 





My dad is absolutely fabulous! And am so incredibly lucky to be his daughter.

Happy Birthday Old Man!
