Apple Dumplings

I LOVE putting Lydia to bed.  She is so easy and so snugly.  We read Lama Lama Red Pajama every night and then we both sing songs.  Nobody has to tell me that I'm going to miss this stage, I already know it.

 Emma has turned into such a helpful little girl.  She takes chores and tasks upon herself and loves to be appreciated.  I don't know what I would do without her.

 Emma grabbed my camera and snapped some photos of me spending an ENTIRE day working on the girls Halloween costumes.

For our family fun day we went to Willard Bay for a picnic and playing in the water.  It sure was nice and close to our house, but not my favorite beach. 
 The Willard mountains are my most favorite mountains in all of Utah. 

We had our neighbors, the Litchfields, over for apple dumplings on Sunday and enjoyed visiting with them as always. This recipe is INSANE!!  HERE is the link, check it out  :)

I think the girls would prefer horsey rides from their dad rather than a real horse.  This is their favorite past time.

Emma and Lydia in their Halloween pajamas.  Ohhh to be young and so easily amused.

Mmmm those apple dumplings look look amazing! Can't wait to see the costumes! I love seeing the little things you do throughout the week, so although you may not love your photo a day challenge, I sure do!

I agree Willard beach is lame. Pineview has such a better beach! The girls in the ward have a fun little get together every summer at Pineview. You'll have to come up next year. It's a blast!

I love the photo a day challenge as well. I can't believe you've been doing it all year! What a great blog book that will make. I miss so much my kids wanting me to put them to bed. It sucks when they just go off by themselves. At least I still get a "goodnight, I love you" if not hugs and kisses. . . and the helpful stage. I miss that too. A lot.

Those are some cute pictures! I can't wait to see the girls' halloween costumes. I am sure they are just to die for cute. I'm sure Brad would love that you went to Willard Bay! I need to make those apple dumplings, they look so delicious. I, too, love the photo a day challenge. I want to do it one year when my days are not the same thing over and over again.

Ok, I'm dying to know what the girls are going to be this year. The costume making looked intense and I'm sure it was all worth it!

Remember when I used garlic cresant rolls to make those dumplings...no good jerry. I'll have to jump on the picture a day bandwagon. I love it so hard. What are you thinking for next year?

Lindsey what a perfect way to do your journal. I can't think of anything I would have loved more than if my Mother had kept such an accounting of the early years. This will be such a treasure for your family for many years to come. Darling darling!
