Aldridge Family Pumpkin Carving

Last weekend our family and Aaron's brother's family got together for pumpking carving and soup- it was loads of fun!

Brylee & Blakely are just starting to dig out the pumpkins- they were a touch sqirmy at first, but then they loved getting the goo in their hands!

Brennan & Trinity even joined in getting the goo out!
Eli would walk around the deck alternating beteen trying to eat good and seeds that had been dropped and throwing stuff into the trash can!

Ayden & Addison even joined in the fun!

Fall Frolicking!

A couple of weekends ago the weather was simply gorgeous! We took advantage of it!

The following weekend it was a little chillier- but outside we went!

Our neighbor's grandson has some sheep behind our house- Trinity loves going over to talk with them and 'baa' at them!
Carrying on quite a conversation with the sheep!

Outside helping Daddy...he's got lots of good help!

Eli enjoying being able to run and toddle outside!

Here & There with Elijah Ray

One of my new favorite pics...I sat Eli down in the chair with Trinity one morning. When I looked at them again they were snuggling up! It does a mommy's heart good!

All dressed up and ready to go to church- such a big boy!

Hide and seek- Eli's new hiding spot!

Out & About with Trinity

Trinity adores Ayden & Addison...she loves to hold them! Here she is holding Addi...she would giggle and say, "I think she likes me!"

Cinderella- helping Mommy clean.

Brennan & Trinity- how they love each other! They're ready to go play outside with their cell phones and headbands (which Brennan informed me were so they could talk to people.).

Trinity has a friend Payton...the daughter of some friends. Payton is out our house almost every day- in Trinity's imagination. When Trinity is playing, she'll talk and talk and talk to Payton...but when she sees her in person, she gets extremely shy! It's quite comical! Payton was up for homecoming queen so Trinity and I went to see Payton in her Cinderella dress...we managed to get a picture of the two of them!

A year full of growth!

Our little boy turned 1 this past week. Here's a look at just a few of the pictures of him throughout the year- how much he's changed and grown- our lives are so much more full because of him!

Happy 1st Birthday, Elijah Ray! We love you!

Happy Birthday, Eli!

Eli received his very first haircut on his 1st birthday! He did so well...we bribed him with marshmallows and he sat fairly still for Grandma!

What a lucky boy- he had 2 birthday parties- one at Mimi & Papa's and one at home in Weskan! Aunt Jessie made the cakes!

Yummy- this cake tastes good!

Eli's 2nd, 1st birthday, party!

A Month Full of Happenings!!

Whew- I can't believe it's been a month since I've last updated- I've had the best of intentions, but time kept getting away from me! Today, the kids are both napping so I'm taking the chance while I can! Hope you enjoy the happenings of September!

Mommy & Eli- all smiles!

Trinity & Eli were full of giggles when Trinity was pushing him around the house in the truck.

I turned 30, yes 30, this month. One of the absolute highlights of my birthday came from my nieces, Brylee & Blakely. They invited me over for a surprise...when I got there they had a time of pampering for me- a manicure and pedicure and a back massage!! I'm ready to make another appointment with them! We had so much fun talking and giggling! What a blessing they are in my life!

Bry and Blakely dressed Trinity up and were teaching her and Brennan how to dance!

The kids and I went to Mom and Dad's last weekend. We wanted a quick pic with the grandkids- not everyone was thrilled to take the picture- notice my daughter in the lower left corner!
