Busy Fall!

(Quite) A few photos from the last 3 or 4 months to catch up!
We visited California over Labor Day weekend and Kate made friends with a little boy at the beach who was jumping off a sculpture onto the sand. It was a pretty tall jump, and I caught her mid-air. She's a crazy one! :)
We went with my parents to the Utah State Fair...by far the best part is the kids farm area where kids can complete several farming activites and trade in their collection of goodies for a treat at the end - Kate loved it!
This photo made me laugh...at a trip to the Discovery Gateway children's museum, Kate dressed up as a cow. She looks like she's going to beat me up for taking the picture!
Back to California in October...unfortunately for my grandmother's memorial service. She passed away one day after her 89th birthday. She lived a long, wonderful, happy life and will be missed by all of us. We love you, grandma!
The cousins had fun at the beach, as usual...just hangin' around! :)
We were able to get (almost) all the cousins together for a visit...it was great to see Spencer & Parker.
Our sweet Grandpa after the memorial service...we love you too, Grandpa!
We also visited Colorado in October just before Halloween. We made ghost cake pops
and carved pumpkins! These girls have so much fun together...can't wait to see them again for the holidays.
We got a new kitten! Kate chose him from the litter and named him Frisco. He was 7 weeks old when we got him, and we've had fun having him around!
Kate chose to be a ghost for Halloween this year! I found this cute ghost costume idea online and my sweet sister helped me make it. Turned out pretty cute, if I do say so myself. :)
We tried Disney on Ice...
And had a chilly trip to the zoo...check out the cutest turtle ever!
Kate's 4th birthday came on December 1. WOW! Four seems so old. :) She got to go to preschool that day and came home with this fun paper birthday crown.
She chose to go to the new Museum of Natural History to see the dinosaur bones to celebrate her special day. Then we went to Temple Square to see the pretty lights, followed by Macaroni & Cheese at Olive Garden. It was a great day!

We celebrated her birthday on Sunday with our family, and William made her another incredible cake...this year it was Rapunzel's tower! So cute...and Kate loved it.
Katers the blue-nosed reindeer...we love you so much and can't believe we were chosen to be your parents. You're such a special girl...Happy 4th birthday!

Wow so much fun stuff you guys have been doing! I can't believe that Kate is 4 now! Time flies when you are having fun.

Love the new pics! Looks like you covered just about everything! Maybe I just need to copy and paste a little bit...I'm a little behind. :) Maybe my new year resolution should be to blog more often. Ya, that might not happen. Wish me luck! Love you... :)
