Halloween was great the kids had fun going to the school carnival and visiting both grandmas. By the time that night came they were pretty exhausted. Emery said to Brian at about 7:45 "dad lets wrap this up" She came home and wanted to pass the candy and see all the kids costumes
Stella was Dorthy. She was really cute. And loves the red shoes.
Brecken the Lion.
Emery was a Pageant Princess. We watched Toddlers and Tiaras and she wanted to be one of those girls for a day.
So cute!!!
When Emery was off track we enjoyed some activities and the nice weather while we had it. The zoo with cousins and a friend was fun. It was nice to see the animals while the weather was not so hot. The animals were actually moving and it was exciting to see the baby Elephant.
The gang posing for a pose.
Stella's birthday and jumping jacks we could not get Brecken out of the little train ride.
Stella had a blast he face was beat red and she said she had a belly ache by the end which is a classic comment from Stella after she has completely over done herself and overexerted herself. But she did have fun.
Emery and Sarah. Emery attempting to help Sarah go down a big slide. She thinks everyone is a thrill junkie.
So I can't hardly believe my little "Tank" is one year old now. He loved the cake if you can't tell. We had family come over back on September 13th and celebrated this day. I feel like it was yesterday he was born now he is all over the place. Not walking but definitely into everything. You can find Brecken in the bathroom sticking your toothbrush in the toilet or digging through the drawers and dumping out everything. He loves to tip over the garbage and spill everything all over the floor all while shaking his head no.
I think he loves the feel of everything mushy and messy. 
Prior to Brecken having a birthday Stella turned 5 years old on September 10th. She had fun going to lunch with a friend and then that night we went to Jumping Jacks with her cousin Sarah. The kids had a blast.
Well we finally had our family pictures and it feels great to be done. The kids had a blast running around and then having to pose for a moment. I can't believe the kids are getting so big. It has been a filled month. Stella turned 5 and I can't believe it. She is so smart and loves to learn now. She enjoys school and is having fun making new friends.
Can you believe he is one!! We had a big party at the house and the weather was nice enough to stop raining for the party. Brecken had a blast and love the cake. I have some of the cutest pictures of him eating cake. Thanks Trish for taking them.
My sweet Stella. I don't know what I would do without her. She is so tender and sweet. I can see her want to be big and act big but I don't want her to change.
Emery keeps us laughing and loving life. She is my child that can make anyone smile. We love you.
Moms Girls!!!
We it is official Brecken is crawling and exploring a whole new world. He is into everything. My like has been very laid back up to this point. He puts everything in his mouth so I vacuum everyday. He pulls out the plug protectors. Pulls and tugs on my decor table (almost breaking it). Almost pulled the bird cage table over on top of him. Pushes the button on the CO2 detector (must be moved) I have not had a baby crawling around for a long time and didn't realize how unsafe some thinks are in my home. It has been fun to see him explore and learn. He is getting another tooth! What a blast.
He is seriously out of control in the bathtub. Much worse than my girls ever were. He flips and crawls around the entire time and screems when I have to take him out. 
Brecken and Nika
Grandpa Evans and Stella and Addison they loved hanging by grandpa.
The whole gang. Eleven grandchildren playing around grandpa in the pool. They had so much fun hanging out with each other. 
Cute Daddy and his boy.
Mom trying to get some sun.
The girls were like a fish in the water and Stella did such a great job swimming on her own. I am so proud of her.
We had fun at the Arts & craft house. Silly Stella.
These two were two peas in a pod. They truly enjoyed and did not want to leave each others side. They wanted their hair styled the same and the same outfit. They even swam the same. We could not separate them.
Poor Brecken was not quite ready for all this excitement. He was loving the time to cuddly when daddy was there.
