Halloween night ready to get some candy!

Amree approved of all her candy! This girl LOVES sugar!

Happy Birthday Amree - 3 years old!

This cutest little bug turned 3 in October.  I can't believe my baby is 3!  She is such a smart girl. She still likes to do most things by herself, isn't a picky eater (glad I got one of those) and wants to be like her sisters. She's spunky and fun and we love her so much!

Excited about her book from Grandpa and Grandma Wilcox.  Books are on the top of her list of favorite things.

Finally, a wiggle car of her own!!!

Trying to show me "3"

The weather was beautiful for her birthday.  They all enjoyed playing in the leaves.

It is fun for both her and Jaina to have their own wiggle cars.  Now they can ride together.

Trying out some tricks!

We celebrated with Cupcakes on her birthday and saved cake for later.

I think she liked it.

I made Amree a Jake and the Neverland Pirate cake this year.

We took it to Grandma Lusks house and celebrated with cousins.

Cabin Weekend (Back in October)

The second week of October we made a trip up to the Wertz cabin.  My uncle and aunt are always so great to let us use it.  It is such a beautiful place and so peaceful.  We had perfect weather, enjoyed playing with our cousins, got some nice rest time in and just loved being away for a few days.

Amree had a hard time sleeping.  Kalissa is a good sister and put up with her for most of the night.

Emmitt, Rebecca, Preston, Amree and Kalissa enjoying being outside.

Amree and Preston LOVED the swings.  I'm so glad the days were warm enough to spend a lot of time out in the beautiful sunshine.

Off on a hike.  The fall colors were amazing!

Making some smores!

We also spent a lot of time with melty beads.  The kids all loved making something.

Even Uncle Jared.

Yellowstone Trip 2014

 In September David and his family came up and went to Yellowstone with us.  It was such a great weekend.  Perfect weather, lots of animals were out and everyone was happy; for the most part.

Stopping at Big Springs to feed the fish.

Amree was very excited that Aunt Becki showed her how to be a duck by using pringles.

Watching Old Faithful. The sun was very bright.

Eli was so excited with his find at the Old Faithful store.  He looked so cute in it!

On our ride up to Mammoth we were stuck on the road for a very long time.  We couldn't see around all the corners to see what the hold-up was.  About 1 1/2 hours later and only a couple of miles we saw the problem.  A heard of bison on the road.  It was A BUNCH.  They were everywhere.  On the road and both sides.  Although it is exciting to see them up close by the time we got to them we just wanted to get past.

We stayed the night in Mammoth, which happens to be my favorite place in Yellowstone.  After our VERY long wait with the bison it was pretty late when we finally arrived.  We checked into our cabins and went to Gardiner just outside of the park for dinner.  I really wanted to try out a swimming place in the river where the hot water mixes with the cold but we'll have to another time.

Trying to take a family picture in front of our little cabin.  Jaina was thrilled!
