Silly Babies

These two babies of ours sure keep us entertained day in and day out. The best is watching Kamryn belly laugh pretty much over anything Emmett does. It gets him really excited and then once he calms down he usually comes over to give little sis a kiss. It might be my new favorite thing. 
This little girl just turned 4 months and has turned into such a happy and smiley baby. (For awhile there we were a little unsure what was going on with her). 
She is still so tiny and petite. In fact we have to take her back into the doctor in a couple of weeks to check her weight again. 
And did I mention that this little dude gets into everything?! Well he does. One of his new favorite things is crawling into sister's bouncer. He will play in there for a good 30 minutes. But I've had to put a stop to it because he is starting to stretch it out because of his chunk. 
 Church is a joke these days. I go and feel like I'm training for a triathlon or something and then when we are on our way home I think, "What just happened?" This last Sunday Emmett was a bit of a character. In fact while I was out in the hall during Sunday school trying to rock Kamryn to sleep and keeping an eye on Emmett at the same time, someone stopped me to chat and I looked behind me and saw Emmett running toward the chapel doors. I thought they were closed but decided to check just in case. Good thing I did because Emmett had run into the chapel and was climbing up the steps to the podium while another ward was enjoying their sacrament meeting. Let's just say I was a bit mortified and I'm sure the color of my face gave everything away. 

But in the next moment you forget it all because they can be just so darn cute!

Spur of the Moment

So awhile back I found out that Josh Groban was doing a tour and would be in Boise and Salt Lake in October. I thought that would be so much fun to go to but realized I would have a small baby that would probably require me to feed her. So I made the sacrifice (which really wasn't a big deal) and forgot about the whole ordeal. Fast forward to a week ago...

My dear friend Nicole ended up going to the Boise concert and fell in love with Josh and convinced me we should go to the Salt Lake concert since little Kay Kay has to be supplemented these days. I pretty much bought tickets that day and a week later we were making the drive down there. 

I ended up getting us some pretty awesome seats for only getting the tickets a week in advance. Probably thanks to someone re-selling theirs at a much cheaper price.
 Let's just say the concert was absolutely amazing!! He was fantastic live!  The sound and lights and all the effects were awesome.
He was really funny between songs too. We were enjoying every single moment and were very sad when it ended. 
So instead of going home right after the concert like normal people, Nicole convinced me we needed to wait outside by his bus and maybe we could get his autograph. (She ended up doing that in Boise and was now a pro at celebrity stalking).

So that's exactly what we did!  He ended up not being outside for very long so I didn't push my way through the crowd and get his autograph, but I did get to see him up close. It was pretty fun. 
But we did get to meet his violinist who was super nice and very down to earth. He was also absolutely amazing at the concert. Check out some of his stuff here. 
It was an awesome 12 hour trip that we didn't regret. I totally recommend going to one of his concerts!

The Start of October

It's officially October (my absolute favorite time of the year). 
This also means Spud Harvest time. Emmett got to experience his first time on a Spud Farm and in a Spud Truck. Thanks to Trev for letting Nate and Emmett come along for a night.
 October also means that Nate wears his favorite color...Pink. Well maybe it's not his favorite but he supports Breast Cancer Awareness at work. He has only worn his awesome turtle neck once (which I'm pretty sure he got at the big and tall ladies store) because he came home sweating really bad. 
 What's October without baseball...and the Braves are playing in the Finals. Nate is just a bit excited. But those of you with Cable One know that TBS is not airing right now and it's created a bit of drama in our house. 
And since the weather is getting colder, the little babies have to dress a little warmer.

 Emmett is playing with the doggie door in the garage. I don't know what it is about little babies squatting down that is just so dang cute!
 And Kamryn sports a nice leopard print hoodie every once in awhile and likes to chill in her Bumbo. 
 In other news of our October, Kamryn is starting to be a little more cautious around her brother. Notice the hand creeping in this picture? Kamryn knows what's up and turns her head the other way. Very perceptive Kamryn, very perceptive. 
 And Emmett...you are still quite the character! He crawled in a basket of toys in Kamryn's room one day while I was giving her a bath. He stayed there for a good 20 minutes. 
 Bring on October! Can't wait for more hot chocolate, apple cider, pumpkin everything, crisp days, leaves, fall smells....I Love It!
