Family Fall Photos

My brother, Brian, was kind enough to take some pictures for us earlier this fall while we were in Oregon. He did a great job, especially considering we had two crying girls most of the time. But what do you expect?! We had fun anyway! We had a great Thanksgiving in Klamath and can't wait to go back for Christmas! =)

Poor Baby Kate Kate

Yesterday Kate had to go in to get her tear ducts probed. Since she was born her tear ducts have been blocked. Which means they get infected very easily and are green and goopy a lot of the time. No fun! We've tried all kinds of things and nothing has worked as of yet. She did very well, considering what they did to the poor girl. They basically just went in with a wire and pushed it through the ducts on both eyes. No black eyes though, just a few pink tears! Let's hope this works! This picture was taken last night.

Michael's Farewell

It was my cousin Michael's farewell on Sunday in Salt Lake. It was great to go down and see lots of family. My Mom was able to come to Idaho early and spend some time with us (YAY!), while my Dad and Brian went hunting in Canada. Michael is going to be very missed, but will also be an awesome missionary. Here are a couple pics after church . . . Lucy had a very difficult time saying goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa Bailey as always. They headed home to Oregon. Lucy screamed like I've never heard her scream before. It was pretty sad. Anyway, Michael heads to the MTC tomorrow. Good luck Michael . . . we love ya!

SISTERS!

When Kate was first born I thought that we were going to have a second little Lucy, by the way she looked. But as time has gone on, as you can see, Kate is becoming her own little person. These pictures were both taken when they were the same age. Lucy has always been very big for her age and Kate is our little petite girl. It's so fun to watch them as Kate gets a little bigger. She is starting to interact more and gets very excited when she sees or hears Lucy.

I think they definitely do look like sisters though! What do you think? Can you tell who's who?

The Mouse & Lion at the Zoo

Last week we went to "B00 at the Zoo," apparently everyone else had the same great idea. Even though it was very crowded we had lots of fun and have never seen so many animals out where you could see them at any zoo before. Maybe it was because it was in the evening. Lucy's favorite is always the monkeys and she loved the candy too.

A SNEAK PEEK . . .

Last night was our ward's Halloween party. Lucy had a great time trick or treating and playing fun games! Nick is an Amish man . . . in case you were wondering.

Pumpking Carving Fun!

For Family Home Evening last week we carved our lovely, home-grown pumpkins from the garden. Nick had the great idea of carving them in Lucy's little swimming pool (to keep the mess contained). It worked great! We had lots of fun, but I just realized that we didn't get any pictures of the carved pumpkins! Now that they have been outside for a week they are kind of scary looking because they have been frozen so many times!

Sunday Afternoons . . .
