A fun and busy Fall!

Tyler, waiting for the bus

Tyler started kindergarten this year. It's hard to believe our youngest is now in school, but it's even harder to believe that our oldest is in college. Amber is at BYU this year.
Tyler, Brittany, and cousin Bethanie on Brittany's birthday. Brittany loves the new chair she got for her birthday! She was also very excited that Bailee, Dione, Bethanie, and Amber all came. It was a surprise to her!
Brittany had a "decades" birthday party. She decided to do this theme because she turned ten.
None of Brittany's cousins could make it to her Birthday party, so she invited Sydney, Lauryn, and Emma to spend the night the Friday after her birthday. We served ice cream sundaes with sparklers in them!

Emily turned 13 in October. We had Chris and Melanie's family, Bailee and Zach, Emily Anderson (Amber's roommate and Mike's cousin), and Amber over for dinner to celebrate Emily's birthday with her.
For her birthday, Emily invited Alexis and Ashlyn to the BYU game center to go bowling and get ice cream. We picked Amber up from her apartment and brought her with us.
Ashlee as Tiger Lily
Ashlee made her own costume and I was busy making Emily's, Brittany's, and Tyler's. I think this is the first year that I've made three costumes, it's usually just one or two. Last year I made Mike's Robin Hood and my Maid Marian costume.
Emily as Tinkerbell
Brittany as Miss Universe
Brittany's two best friends were Miss Utah and Miss America
