September

At the beginning of September, we went to have dinner in the mountains in honor of my dad’s birthday. Owen was immediately filthy and loved “making smoke” with his monster trucks in the dirt.

He loved wearing a headlamp and sitting with Steph.

My dad loved to spend time in the mountains and having dinner together was a great way to remember him. It was delicious and fun!

The next day was Labor Day and we drove up to Silver Lake to enjoy the fall colors. It was beautiful and much cooler than at home! We walked all the way around the lake (quite an accomplishment for a huge pregnant lady). We took our time and explored so I could rest a lot!

I got Owen’s Halloween costume early and he was so stoked to be a cute little lion and about died with happiness when I put it on him.

I finally pulled out the paints we got him for his birthday almost a year ago! He loved it…for about 20 minutes.

Every time Danny gets together with his brothers, they do some sort of stupid competition, and this time it was toddler tossing.

I finished Leah’s room a few weeks before she arrived and I love it! It’s pretty simple, but I love the pink ceiling and the polka dots!

Owen needed boots because it was raining

I’m really glad I took this picture because I only have a few pictures of me while I was pregnant and I took this at 39 weeks, and only 1 day before Leah came!

This was the day that Leah came, and Danny stayed home from work because I was having regular contractions and we didn’t know how fast she would be here! She ended up coming much later that night, so he could have gone to work, but we had such a good day together as a family and I will always treasure that. Owen and Dan played a lot, and it was just such a good day. I will write about Leah’s birth in another post!
