falling in love

i truly am falling in love with fall more and more each year. in the past it hasn't been my favorite but now it might just be coming close. as always we are out and about doing so much all the time. here are a few of events and activities we have been up to.

{steele's 18 months check-up}

i adore this first picture. he looks like he is reciting the pledge of allegiance.

look at those eyes. so innocent.  

 we take pictures to stay entertained while waiting for the doctor.

 steeley wheeley's stats

33 inches- 90%

27 lbs- 50%

{picking our pumpkins}

{raking leaves with cousins}

 don't mind his girly pose. and yes this is how steele smiles every time i pull out the camera.....

{amy & adam simmon's sealing}

this was a beautiful experience! not only were amy and adam sealed but little

ruby got to join them and be sealed to them too. amy is also pregnant so the

experience was so special and gave me a more eternal perspective.

this picture was taken before amy and adam came out of the temple

and we forgot to take another once they did...oops

{zach's endowment}

the very next day we were able to attend zach's endowment session.

i have really learned to love and adore zach. he is so easy going

and a great kid. he is going to the leon, mexico mission in january. he will be missed!

it was an amazing experience because brett's entire family was able to be

there all together. what an accomplishment for brett's parents right?!

all of their children and spouses have made it to the temple.

{the original brady family}

and yes, brett and shane are holding hands.

 when the "siblings only" picture was taken, all the in-laws said

fine, we're taking an "in-laws only" picture. ha ha.

{a little mini}

we went to cascade last week end and it was cold! steele didn't mind a bit though.

he loves golfing! and fortunately mini golf putters are ambidextrous because

steele is left handed. try finding a golf set for a left handed 18 month old.....

 the other golfers. they both did awesome. hallie was profesh!

 with a little help from dad, steele learned good form.

{first fort building}

this brought back such fun memories for me. i sent my dad a text reminding him

of all the awesome forts we build over the years. brett being a structural

engineer had to make sure it was perfectly sound. i wanted to leave it up for

my young women's presidency meeting we were having the next morning so all

the kids could play in it and be entertained. brett wouldn't leave it up

because he didn't get to spend enough time to make it perfect. haha.

{the little gym}
steele loves his new class at the little gym.
he learns social and motor skills and loves being with mommy.
he also loves playing with his cousins ashton and linny
who are also in his class. they run and around go crazy.
