Bridal Veil Falls stroll

While corinne was visiting in September we took a hike... I mean a walk up to bridal veil falls. We weren't disappointed with how beautiful it was and the weather wasn't bad either.

We stopped at the bottom of the falls and then walked across the water on rocks to get a closer look at the falls. I think it was only Zach who missed a rock and got his shoe in the water.

Visitors!

We love visitors at the stitt house! Corinne came for a couple of days on her way to St. George for a Cook girls retreat which happened to be on my birthday. I'm so lucky. We all drooled over Ethan. He is so cute.

MJ surprised us by strolling through the garage and through the kitchen door without us being aware he was even in town. Now that was a great surprise. The kids had a quick visit with him before he had to leave. Caleb even warmed up to the MJ charm!

31 and still kicking!

It's true I had another birthday and am now 31 years old. We celebrated with family and a Chocolate pie. Nathan decided that it would be easier for all involved if we just but 3 and 1 candles. Do you get it... for the 10's place and 1's column. Creative huh? Anyway the pie was delicious if I do say so myself. No, I didn't bake it, I can buy for my birthday rather than bake it myself...I am getting too old you know. Aubrey, camille, and Corinne came to celebrate. I love my sisters! Here's to another year...Cheers! 

Presents: It is a tradition to get chocolate from the kids. This year I got a box of Turtles and a big bag of peanut butter M&M's yum!

Friends Fun!

Caleb and Hailey Larsen were having a play date. They are both so cute and get along like any 2 year olds. RULES of 2 year olds: If I touched it once it's mine, if I lay it down and walk away it is still mine, If I am playing with something else the previous toy is still mine and if you break my rules I'll scream LOUDLY.  Really they did fine with a few minor encounters with the above rules. Why do we all including babies want to play being bigger? If we only knew being bigger isn't always more fun!

You go Hailey, Pop a wheely!

" I can ride the bus too."

Whenever the boys and I get ready to take Zach to his bus stop caleb insists on putting on his "batpat" too. So we had them do a little pose. Aren't they cute. Caleb can't idolize his brother more.

The bus driver saw how much caleb wanted to ride as he sprinted toward the bus with me in hot pursuit. The bus driver let Caleb ride the bus with Zach around the corner by the church while I raced down the street to meet them on the opposite corner. He was in heaven and in awe that he rode the big yellow bus.

Siblings On the Sidelines

Caleb loved going to soccer games and cheering for Zach. He also loved the sideline snacks. He didn't like that is was time to go, but agreed after we said we would go to the park on the way home. 

He is getting so big! He wants to climb everything in sight just like the big kids. All I can do is hold my breath and hope he doesn't fall. "Hold on Caleb!"

Soccer is fun!

Zachary had a blast playing soccer this last season. He has improved his game immensely! He loved his team the black moles and his coach Armondo Tijerina. He learned to attack the ball and let his shin guards take the hit. He also learned that HE CAN make goals and has learned to look for those goal opportunities. I think He ended up with 3 to 6 goals per game. Way to go Zach!
