Hi-Ho-Halloween!


Lydia had her pre-school Halloween mini program...it was SUPER cute! She sang songs like "Mean old with" and Hi-Ho Halloween. She was all smiles, and so excited to get to see her pre-school friends in their Halloween costumes as well.

Gardner Village wit Nana!

It has become a tradition to hit Gardner Village to see the witches. Lydia loved it so much last year that she wanted to be one this year. We went on Thursday the first day of UEA because my mom had it off, a lot of other people must have had the exact same idea (ha ha ha!) Lydia LOVED showing nana all the witches and Audrey was a good sport as usual. Not going to lie love seeing my girls faces light up seeing all the fun festivities!
The Knudsen Girls!
Lydia was so excited to dress in her costume and look like the witches!
Audrey looks bored but it is only because I didn't dare get her out.
I LOVE all the decorations...I wish I could have them decorate my house each year as well.
Sista's
Lydia talked about the hoola hooping witch all year...she was so excited when she finally found her!

Dash After Dark


Some friends in my neighborhood all ran the Riverton 5 mile dash after dark. We all dressed up, only to show up to the race to find out we were literally the only people dressed up (minus 1 lady who I am pretty sure walked the entire race.) Fun night, had a lot of laughs with good friends! Not a ton of people ran it but it was pretty cool, we all received medals for taking 1st-3rd place in our age divisions. I was pretty stoked to take 1st in my age division and finish 6th overall (ha ha ha!) Gotta love small races for that very reason:)

3rd Annual Cornbelly's Farm Day!!!

This year I was so excited for Cornbelly's farm, especially because I was able to get a groupon for a season pass for a huge discount which means we will get to go more then once...something I am sure Lydia will be super excited about as well.

It hadn't been the best weather the past couple of weeks and so finally Friday it was great weather and I told Lydia if she was brave while getting her flu shot she could bring a friend with us to Cornbelly's...she was SO excited to invite her bestie Peyton.

We headed to Cornbelly's after my friend Jeni (Peyt's mom offered to watch Audrey...such a relief.) The girls were in heaven, we couldn't get to each little even quick enough. They did the pillow tramps, the slides, the dress-ups, we even got some Magelby's sweet potato fries...YUMMY! Loved seeing these girls have so much fun, and I am already so excited to go back again!
Lydia LOVED jumping on the tramps!
Peyton


I think these slides are the COOLEST...not going to lie I wanted to go down them myself.

Playing in the pirate ship!
Best Friends
The ducks

Their favorite part was by far the dress ups...we spent the most time there for sure!
Such a cute princess
Welcome to the ball
They LOVED dancing on the stage...it was so cute!

Love nothing more that seeing my kids having fun!!!

The Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

Lydia had her first field trip for pre-school. We went to the pumpkin patch on 11800 S and 3600 W. It is seriously the cutest pumpkin patch EVER...we have been going there for years and this year did not disappoint! It was so fun to see Lydia with her cute little classmates, and her darling pre-school teacher Miss Angie bought each student a little pumpkin and they got to decorate them there at the pumpkin patch. So much fun, and seriously a family tradition that I hope we can do every year for a long long time!
Lu Lu wtih her classmates!
The Knudsen Crew
Liddy's decorated pumpkin
What cuties!
Beep, Beep

It was definitely nap time for Auds, so to say that she was a bit onrey would definitely be an understatement. Luckily Miss Angie gave her a little debbie cake...which made "miss piggy" very happy (ha ha ha!)
We were excited to get to use our cool back pack we bought in Hawaii...we got it for $15 and seriously such a good find. So long as we kept moving Audrey LOVED it!!!

AUDS turns 1!

Well I can hardly believe that it has been a year since this little girlie joined our family...and who are we kidding we are so lucky to have her. She is such a sweet, sassy, little miss piggy with a jack-o-lantern smile. She is talking, crawling, and will eat just about anything. She loves Che, Che and really loves to fight with her big sister Lyd. She is obsessed with her daddy, binky and her pink blankey. She is super stubborn, and yet just about the sweetest little thing you will ever meet. I haven't taken her in for her 1yr yet but as soon as I do I will put her stats! Audrey we love you so much and are so blessed to have you in our family! I can't believe you are already 1 and we are so excited for all that life has in store for you.

This year we celebrated Aud's B-day just with our little family. Lydia loved helping Audrey open her presents, and blow out the candle. We enjoyed a nice quiet night, and enjoyed some time to spend with out kids without a million other things going on. I wanted to do an owl cake for Audrey but I will be honest I just plain ran out of time, so we did owl cupcakes and a pink cake! I LOVED seeing how excited she got when she knew she was going to get a cupcake...she throughly enjoyed every bite, and Che' enjoyed cleaning up the mess.

Happy Birthday Auds, Auddy, Auds-pods, Audge Podge, ree-ree, and miss piggy...we don't know what we would do without ya!
Audrey got some one on one time with mommy and daddy while liddy was at preschool!
Love that face...that is her pick me up already face!
Doesn't she look so old? It makes me so sad.
Love her ruffled little bum!
We didn't do a party but the "Smother" in me had to put up a few decorations (ha ha ha!)
I think Lydia was just as excited as me!
Her pink coconut cake...not super proud of the way this one looks, but it tastes DELICIOUS!
If only I had more time I would've had a cake to match it!
Auds and her favorite...DADDY!
Lydia helping out sis...Audrey wanted to do it her self.
She really got the hang of opening presents
Lydia LOVED the box
Audrey loved the toy...fffeeewww!
She is pointing to the cupcake...ha ha ha (we call her miss piggy for a reason!)
She was not messing around...she meant business!
Trying to share with daddy!
My little birthday girl all cleaned up and playing with one of her new b-day presents!
Had to put this one...I can't believe how big Lydia is getting too. She LOVES pre-school and she wakes up so excited to go. She is learning so much. Poems, songs, letters, and so much more. I love both of my girls and can't believe how truly blessed I am!




This is my favorite pic of her holding on to grandpa's finger

Baby Girl

Baby Girl
This is our baby girl at 16 weeks. It was such an amazing thing to see her moving and count all of her fingers and toes for the first time. I know I bawled and Chris won't admitt it, but he was pretty emotional as well.

It's a girl!

It's a girl!

She's going to be a dancer
