Taryn's Blessing Day

It finally happened! We kept having to change the date. Things would come up, people were out of town, but it finally happened! And we were just put in to a brand new ward too! Taryn was the very first baby blessing in the Moses Lake 11th ward. Spencer gave a wonderful blessing and the dress my mom made was beautiful. The blanket she is laying on and blessed in was made by Spencer's grandma. It was a great day.

So I can remember.... Men in the circle: Spencer, my dad, Spencer's dad, Tristan, Josh, Jeremy Quilter, Mike Radar, Bishop Palmer, 

After we had everyone come over for Haystacks and way good dessert Laska made. YUM!

First day of Kindergarten and dance, Leavenworth and Dance pictures

Sept 2nd Adyson started her first day of Kindergarten! I can't believe she is old enough! She was so excited! She said she had a great day! I love this girl :)

Sept 6th my sister had a birthday and she invited the whole family to go up to Leavenworth. We only went for the one day and had a lot of fun.

In the morning everyone else went to the Rocky Reach Dam. Afterwards, we met up with them In Cashmere at a Cider mill and did a cider tasting. Interesting flavors. Next we went to applets and cottlets. 

We then headed to Leavenworth and ate at the Munchen Haus and ate some good brauts and hot dogs. We then headed to the Nutcracker museum. My sister loves nutcrakers.

( for those who doent know Leavenworth is a German themed town about an hour and a half away from Moses Lake. Its a cute place. even McDonalds is built to look like an old German house)

 ^ yep that is a Missionary, Brigham Young, and Joseph Smith! Awesome!

 After we went and got some ice cream and went around the shops. Perfect bday for her.... food and nuctcrackers!

So Adyson was supposed to get dance pictures done by her teacher, but she was so busy that it never happened so I decided to take them. I think they turned out great!

Adyson needed a hair cut really bad so right after pictures we went and chopped it off!

Lately I feel like Harper has been MIA on the blog but not this time! She started dance for the very first time! She loves it!!!

Seattle trip

Over Labor day weekend we went to Seattle for Spencer to take part in the 5k Kickoff Run. He ran around Seattle and ended on the field in Century Link - the Seahawks stadium! My brother and bro in law and his sister ran in the race too, and since most of the family was going, my parents came too. So it was a family vacation! It was a great weekend trip.

The day before the run we all went to the woodland park zoo. That park is huge. It took almost all day! We got there at about 9:30 AM and didn't leave until about 3 PM! It was fun though! After, we went went back to the hotel to rest, and then headed to Ikea for dinner and shopping! I got new dishes!!!

Sept 1st! The race! I am so proud of Spencer for doing these runs!

 AFTER! He did it! 

After the race we went back to the hotel to get ready for the day (race was at7:30!). We checked out and Went to a mall with an old navy (love that place). The mall had a really awesome food court. It had food from around the world! I had Hawaiian and Spencer had vietnamese. It was good! After we headed to North Bend. I shopped with Taryn while Spencer, Adyson and Harper took naps. After that we headed home! It was a great weekend trip.

August

August was kind of a slow down month for us. We didn't do a whole lot. My best friend, Sommer, and her daughter and mom from Longview came to visit (sorry no pics, i'm bad!) and it was the same week as the fair!

 This year, Adyson was old enough to enter something so I sent her out in the yard with my camera and let her take pictures of whatever she wanted. This was one of her best ones! She got a blue ribbon. First place!

 This is one of my pictures. I also entered a flower picture. Both got first place! (I'll be honest, almost all the pictures people enter get blue ribbons ;)

 The first day of the fair Adyson and Kamaile danced to Boom Boom Pow. They had a lot of fun!

 

 We always go through the animal booths! Its my... I mean the girls' favorite part :)

 One of her friends Ciara invited her to go to the fair with her and get her face painted. I think she said this was a cat face. When Adyson got back home Harper was still taking her nap and it was time for her to wake up so I sent Adyson in to wake her up. Scared Harper pretty good. I know I'm mean but it was funny!

 Friday night of the fair Spencer and I went on a date! All we did was eat! Good food!

 Saturday of the fair we went and Saw may parents work at the PUD booth and then met up with Spencer's parents and his brother Chris and Chris' girlfriend. We went around the booths, ate some more yummy food, and went through this wild animal exhibit. 

 on the 29th Taryn became a month old! Here are my attempts at taking nice-ish pictures. I forgot to take some until about 10 at night so this is what she gets!

 Adyson lost another tooth! The tooth fairy came, but Adyson's room was so messy that she only left fifty cents and said you need to clean up so I don't get hurt and I will come back with more money ;) So Adyson tried her best and cleaned up. The tooth fairy came back and left a note saying its starting to look good and she needs to finish or she will come back and take the money back. Adyson kept working on cleaning. I personally love this tooth fairy LOL. A couple days later I was telling my parents the story and when I told them about the tooth fairy coming back Adyson said in a sly voice... "If she can find it." We had a good laugh about that.

And one random day in august I took this cute picture of Taryn.

August was a nice and easy month, but September will be BUSY!!
