IT'S JUST THE BEGINNING!

The Halloween Extravaganza 2011 has begun! We're 48 hours into it and the party is just getting started!

We spent all day Saturday cleaning out over 100 pumpkins... and all day Sunday carving them out

But Layla Bug was more interested in eating Caramel Popcorn :)

She was super proud to show off her works of art....

And the party has really just begun!

Here's a teaser of her custom costume. She LOVES it!

More soon to follow!

GETTING OUR WITCH ON!

We're gearing up for the Halloween Extraveganza to begin today! I'm finishing the final touches sewing on Layla's costume. Planning what we'd like to carve into the pumpkins, deciphering all the delicious treats to eat and more.....
More to come!

HI

Just wanted to stop by and say HI to everyone. Layla is healthy and well and we've moved! We're settled in finally to our temporary place until we find the PERFECT house with the perfect big girl room for Layla bug. But for now we're enjoying the indian summer weather here in Utah!

GO LANCE!!!!

Layla got to go cheer on Lance Armstrong himself a few weeks ago at the Xterra triathlon Championships here in Utah at our favorite ski resort, Snow Basin!
She love's her a good bike race!

Quite the explorer and loves to be outdoors

She loves to sit and hold her baby brother

Still recovering from Croup and needed a little rest

MEANT TO BE???

Layla's little brother arrived on Monday August 29, 2011
Close in size to Layla's birth size!
7 lbs 6 oz, 20.5 inches

Baby Rider Day
Check out the resemblance of Layla on the top left and Rider on the bottom right! They look like they're meant to be brother and sister! So darling.

Layla is adjusting better than expected and she loves being a helpful big sister. She carries her baby doll around and practices feeding it while mommy feeds baby brother. Rider has been leaving Layla a gift in her bed each morning since he's been here and she loves to wake him up and tell him thank you for her new book. 

We can't get over how similar they look as babies! And we feel so blessed that Layla has been given the blessing of a sibling to grow close to.

Love to you all

The Day Family

Summer nights

I shot this video last night after dinner and figured you guys might like to see it. Layla's slowly picking up the bike riding business but more than anything, she loves to be outside.

Hope you're all doing well.

SUMMER MUSINGS

Katie Angel - we messed up and sent Layla's 2 year update to the wrong address and it just made it back to us. We'll wait till you're at the new address you sent us and we'll get it to you asap. SO SORRY ABOUT THAT!

We've spent many days at the beach of Bear Lake, Jackson Lake, all the local pools, and Nana's pool. And Layla loves her dog.
She reads him stories and chases him around the yard and lays on him when she watches her new favorite movie, "Mary Poppins."

We've had a fabulous summer and we're just spending as much time as possible just the "3" of us before Layla's new baby brother arrives.... any day now!
And she prays for her "Katie Angel" every night.
Hope you've had a happy summer!
