Primary program...

Kenna, Uncle Neil, Bridger, Aunt Feli
Kenna, Grams Johnson, Grandpa Johnson, Bridger
We did not plan for them to dress alike...Bridger was already dressed when my parents got there...they even had on blue ties!

Grandma Curtis, Kenna, JD, Grandpa Curtis, Bridger


Bridger had his first ever primary program (for church) on October 24. We are lucky to have very supportive family that comes to things whenever they are able to, so Bridger had a fun little audience there just for him! He did great at remembering his part, but sitting still was another story! Oh my, he was about killing us off! He would randomly stand up, or make faces or cover his ears when it was time to sing, or at one point I motioned to him to sit down, he stood back up and with an exaggerated action, motioned to me to sit down. Yah, he was one of those kids...you know, the ones that are hilarious and everyone is laughing at...but it's way more embarrassing when it's your child! Okay, there were others that were being obnoxious too, but Bridger held his own! He really did great with remembering his line...he had it memorized in no time and his teacher was shocked when they practiced and he didn't need any help. He has a great memory! His line was, "I came to Earth as part of a family." Even though he was quite the little ball of energy up on the stand, we still love our little Bridger...he's as cute as can be! It's hard to believe that he is going to be 4 on Friday!

Kenna's latest and greatest...



Well, since I am behind I need to update as to what Kenna's latest achievements are! And she's reached these milestones a while ago... She is now crawling and has been for 3 or so weeks...she used to crawl one little "step" and then be done or she'd roll or scoot, etc...but she finally decided crawling was for her...way to go! She loves the new found freedom but I am being reminded of how much you have to keep things put up to keep them away from a baby! She is also standing up to things...the first time I came into her in her crib when she was standing I was shocked and she was so excited and proud of herself! Kenna is also starting to take steps when we hold her hands, and she seems to like that a lot too! Before we know it, she'll be walking...she's growing up so fast! She also got two top teeth through...they took forever...we could see them under the gums for so long, so it was about time! I love little baby teeth! She is also saying a few different things, like "mama" "dada" "Buh" (Bridger), "uh-oh", "hi", and she mimics lots of sounds that we make. She'll be 11 months on Saturday...whoa!

Halloween Party

Josh's work had their fabulous annual Halloween party! It was a lot of fun again this year...complete with chili, hot dogs, cookie decorating, cake walk, "fish pond", bean bag toss, and a fun treat bag for the kids! Bridger was very excited to be able to wear his costume and Kenna tolerated hers quite well!





Sisters, sisters...

I have 4 younger sisters and love it! I love when we get to spend time with them, and it is especially fun when the twins (Whitney and Dani) are here...just because we get to have them visit more than the rest of my sisters. Anyway, a few weeks ago, Dani had a long weekend at SUU and Whitney was out of state for a cross country race...so, Dani came to visit since we are closest to her school! It was so super fun to have her here! While she was here, we painted our nails, went to the Thanksgiving Point Gardens, stood in line for like 2 hours for the H1N1 shot, made some cute bows/flowers, and more! Here are a few shots from Thanksgiving Point!




Day 3 &4: Island Park/Yellowstone...

October 4: On Sunday, we watched LDS General Conference, played with the kiddos, visited, went for a walk, watched the snow flurries, made cookies and had a great time! I love being at grandma's house...just being there, with nothing else to do is perfect for me! I also love that my kids get to spend time with my awesome grandma!



Yep, this was Bridger's doing!


We took these pictures the day we left. We were so sad to leave...none of us wanted to go home! The trip home went well and was uneventful. Can't wait until we can make it up there again!
