It is so fun to have three little girls. Emily loves playing school with Leslie. I used to do that when I was a kid, although it turns out Emily is a very strict teacher.
Cute little Abby always wants to be part of the fun!
One of the things our girls love about Halloween is making sugar cookies and taking them around to people. This year we made some yummy ones!
Leslie kept putting on Greg's glasses and had the cutest smile, so I HAD to take a picture!
Here is Emily teaching Leslie how to paint. Surprisingly, they didn't make a huge mess!
Little Abby started going to Nursery last month. She's growing up so fast!
On October 21, Leslie ran full speed into the corner of the toy chest. The cut was deep enough that we had to take her to the doctor.
There was a lot of blood, but the doctor put glue on it and a patch. It seems to be healing nicely.
It has been a beautiful fall in Boise. Our girls loved playing in the leaves.
On Monday, October 23 we went to the Meridian Temple open house. It was very beautiful inside and out!
The next day we took our kids to the Farmstead Pumpkin Patch. The Corn Cob Beach was definitely a favorite!
Emily and Leslie in the Cow Train.
Abby LOVED the animals. It was really cute!
The Corn Maze!!
We found the perfect pumpkin. It was a success!
That weekend we drove to Utah. The grandkids were very entertained with grandpa's drone!
At the pumpkin patch with cousins and Grandpa and Grandma Burr.
The girls were very good in the car on the way home. I guess we've done enough rode trips, they are pretty used to it!
Our jack-o-lanterns!!!
Our girls in their Halloween shirts!
I was a Gemtek cleaner for Halloween.
Emily was Elena of Avalor, Leslie was Sophia the First, and Abby was Belle. We sure love our little princesses! Happy Halloween!!
At the end of September we took a trip to the zoo with my parents and my brother Joel's family. It was cousin Caroline's birthday, which made everything extra special. Unfortunately we were having too much fun and I didn't take many pictures.
Of course, right when we walked in the zoo, Emily started asking when they could ride the carousel. That was by far her favorite part of the zoo!
On Wednesday, September 27, Greg's old college roommate Brigham and his wife Elizabeth stayed with us for the night. They were on their way home after visiting the Oregon coast. It was so fun to talk with them and catch up.
Conference weekend was especially fun because my brother Dillon was in town. This picture is a little goofy, but we had a good time!
His daughter Ruby and Abby are only two months apart. They were instant friends.
After conference was over we got the kids all ready for bed and went on a drive to the Meridian Temple. It was fun to go walk around it. It made us very excited for the Open House in a couple of weeks!
Emily (in her pajamas) in front of the Meridian Temple. So beautiful (both the girl and the temple)!

Yesterday we took our kids to the Williams' Fruit Ranch over in Emmett.
We filled our basket with tons of apples.
Little Abby
The girls loved picking apples.
I think she likes me...

The apples were very delicious!
It was the perfect fall activity.
Emily taking it easy.

Emily's new favorite thing: climbing trees.
Greg, Leslie, Emily, Abby, and me. Happy Fall!
Wednesday, August 23 was Emily's first day of Kindergarten. She went to Preschool the last two years, but it has still been an adjustment for us having her in half day Kindergarten. She is liking it so far.
Leslie hates taking Emily to school. Every day when we get home from dropping her off Leslie asks me, "Who am I going to play with?" She loves her big sister.
The weekend after school started, we took the girls to the lake by Simplot Park. They really loved it. The water was the perfect temperature and it was a gorgeous day.
They love playing in the sand and being in the sun.
Here is Abby's first attempt at swimming...
The Burr girls
On Labor Day we took the girls to the Greenbelt to bike around. They had a lot of fun!
Emily and Leslie by the Boise River.
Our three little cuties: Abby, Leslie, and Emily.
The afternoons are very fun around here when Emily gets home from school!

The girls playing outside. This picture doesn't really capture it, but they were having a blast pushing Abby on that toy train!
The kids hanging out at the park by our house. They each had their own tree.
Abby being cute at Dad and Mom's place.
This is what happens to you when you have two older sisters who are obsessed with princesses. Abby looks like a little diva!
Last weekend we went to Preston's high school football game. Melanie fixed Emily's hair really cute and she still talks about it!
Emily all cute and ready for picture day at school!
Emily and Leslie at the Boise Temple.
"I love to see the temple."
