Well, I have a lot of catching up to do. Over the past two weeks we have done some fun things that I should be journaling about better.

Owen was blessed Sunday September 28th. We had a great support group for Owen (like I expected anything less from our super supportive families.) I found his blessing day to be very relaxing I was able to sit back and take in the day understanding that it would be over in a flash. I suppose with the first one you don’t understand just how fast these precious moments are gone, and with each child I bet it just goes faster. Owen received a nice blessing and after we were able to eat lunch at Grandma and Grandpa Kings home, unfortunately our home does not accommodate all our family. I am so appreciative for the knowledge of the Priesthood and for the blessing it is in our family’s lives.

Justin's 4 generation

My sister in law Rachel is soon expecting her 1st baby next month. We had her baby shower over here on Saturday October 4th. Justin and I have talked about how excited we are to be first time Aunt and Uncle (a fun new title for us!) Brinley is excited to be a cousin, she reminds us all the time that Alex is her cousin. Rachel and Tom live directly behind us, we share a fence. Baby Alex and Owen will be just a few months apart and I am looking forward to watching them literally grow up together, for probably along long time with the housing market the way it is. Hope that baby gets here safe and sound and for Rachel’s sake SOON.






There are some real perks of having a teacher husband, one of them being vacations. This week was Fall Break so we were able to spend some quality time with each other. Thanks Justin for staying up until 2 in the mornings finishing papers and side work to spend the days with us.


Eatable play dough fun and yummy!!!


"I can stand like a mingo too."Our little PEARLAunt NaNa is so much funIf ever in the neighborhood try this Thai Food we are addictedShe calls it "Fire Soup," it comes out with a huge flame.


Her favorite!!!



I know that kids say the funniest things I can't write them all down but, this one I have to remember. If only I could have captured her facial expression.


On the way back from the Zoo Brin was trying to explain something to Aunt Morgan, it was taking her a while to get to the point.


NaNa said "Spit it out kid!"


Brinley, spiting in to her hand replied "But I don't got nothing in my mouth."


Try explaining what a figure of speech is to a two year old:)

That is definitely one of our favorites. There is another place in in mesa, by the temple that we really like. Did you know Damond served in Thailand? He kind of knows about their food :D
Isn't time with Dad so much fun? :D
