Baby Burr #3

Well, we're having another baby!

Leslie won't be the youngest anymore.

In fact, Leslie will only be 15 months old when our baby is born.

It would be cool to have a boy, but three girls would be pretty fun too!

On Friday I'll be 16 weeks along.

The baby is due April 22, 2016.

Who would have thought we'd have three kids 3 and under (for a month)?!?

It will be a party! We're so excited!

October Highlights

Just taking advantage of the last few days of summer. Summer here lasts until Halloween!

We finally bought Emily a backpack for preschool. Now she's even more excited about going to school!

It takes some serious talent to be comfortable sleeping like that!

We went up to Utah for conference weekend. We met up with Emily, Dillon, Cassidy, Derek, and Clara at Brick Oven for lunch. We had a great time and some amazing pizza!

Typical interaction between these three...

We also hung out in West Jordan with the Burrs. Here is Emily getting cozy with her Aunt Erica!

On Friday we went to a Fall Carnival/Pumpkin Patch by Greg's work. It was overcast and perfect weather.

Emily had a "hay" day going on all of the rides.

Of course the slides were her favorite.

Happy Fall!

Greg and our daughters

Leslie LOVED it!

So many pumpkins!

The Last Month

Leslie just turned 8 months old. She is getting so big!

She loves to stick EVERYTHING in her mouth.

She is getting really good at sitting up.

And being cute!

She is a very happy baby...our only complaint is she doesn't like to sleep.

Emily is growing up right before our eyes.

She loves to paint. Here she is wearing my old Kindergarten paint shirt. It even says my name on it. I have no idea why I kept it all of these years, but she does think it's cool that I wore it as a little kid.

Emily loves going to Preschool three days a week. She just learned about the letter m. Can you tell that it's a monster?? Such a cute idea.

"Mom, do I get to go to Preschool today?" I'm so glad she gets to go and best of all my good friend is her teacher.

Her favorite day was when she got to play dress up at school. She is obsessed with princesses.

Last week we were so lucky to get some visitors. Rachel and Blake came and stayed with us for an evening. The girls loved the attention.

Can you tell what team Rachel and Blake are rooting for?? ;)

Greg and Emily washing the car. She was actually a pretty good helper.

My cuties.

Good Times

It doesn't rain much in Las Vegas, but when it does it can cause some serious damage! Our last rainfall ended up being a pretty intense flash flood. This is what it did to our tree!

A few weeks ago my good friend Heather Jolley was in town. It was so fun to go out to lunch with her and a bunch of other young moms. We know how to have a good time...and where to get some good food!

The Taylors (in our ward) had a birthday party for their one-year-old son, Adam.You know if the missionaries are invited it's gonna be a good time!

Last weekend a boy in Emily's nursery class had a birthday party. It was a pool party. For some reason all the other kids there knew how to swim. I ended up being the only adult in the pool since Emily doesn't know how to swim. We had a good time though. Here is Emily riding in her "carriage". I'm her horse and she's Cinderella...obviously!

Emily loved all of the fun crafts to do at the party.

She liked the yummy snacks too!

Emily starts Preschool in just a couple of days. Here she is after she made her school bus at story time. Pretty cute.

We had dinner at Brooke and Troy's last Tuesday night. The food was amazing as was the company. Here are the two cuties Avery and Leslie born only 2 weeks apart!

Yesterday we decided to would be fun to go on a hike as a family. We drove up to Mt. Charleston and hiked Sawmill Loop. The girls loved being in nature. It was a fun family outing.
