September

Wow! September really flew by! I still can't believe it's October. For the last 6 months, everything has been classified as "before Dallas leaves" and "after September". Now that he's in Mississippi, I almost don't know what to do with myself! Luckily I have two redheaded little girls to keep me busy!  I wanted to update and show everyone what we were up to when Dallas came home on leave in September.


Dallas and Oaklie took some naps together. Aren't they so cute?

Amaya and Dallas practiced pointing

 We blessed Oaklie on September 12. It was so wonderful! It was great to be able to see Dallas take her in his arms and be able to give her a blessing, surrounded by so many wonderful priesthood holders who love her so much!

We had a great barbecue afterwards with our family at Dallas' grandparents house.  Thanks Grandpa and Grandma Baxter for a great party!

We had a fun backyard soccor game afterwards.


 Amaya playing in the dryer

Oaklie LOVES baths! I've never met a new baby who doesn't cry when she takes a bath.  She just lays there with a look on her face like, "This is the best."
 Our last dinner together as a family the night before Dallas left.


 Dallas didn't want to be in the picture of my table setting!

Putting the girls to bed the night before heading to the airport. I love being a mom to two silly and sweet little angels.
