Levi’s birthday!

 This man has a birthday now in between two girls and Halloween and our anniversary - who would have thought that October would have gotten so busy. We all love him so much and I am thankful for his drive and ambition to run a business and be an active father to six children. 

 Loves and Presents from the crew.

Not the best cake -we all laughed. 

Trip down to the creek. Clairana must have snuck this picture for us.

 

Soccer Days!

 

Coraline - General Authority

On Sunday, Coraline was asked to be the only youth speaker to over 600 people. She was amazing. At one point, I felt like her parents were more nervous. She wrote most all her talk and testimony of Christ alone. She also got to speak with Susan Porter who is the president over all the LDS primary age children in the world.

Lotte is ONE!

This little love, turned one! We are all still so very smitten by her and she gets away with everything. Most times when I pick up my phone there’re at least 10 more pictures of her that someone has taken.

She has two teeth on the bottom and two on the top.

She’s crawling all over the place and pulling herself up, but no steps yet.

Trying out simple foods like banana, cheese, and eggs.

Favorite person - Mom and Neph

Wakes up once a night to nurse. 

Still struggles with respiratory issues.

Loves to look at books

Really wishes we would let her keep the pencils that she steals

Enjoys early seminary mornings watching TV with Nephi. I am guessing by next semester she will have an opinion on the show. 

Stealer of all things.

C made this one on my phone.

 Birthday!

Lots of gifts from siblings.

 Still wearing her sleep sack at night. 

Destroyer of all fruit and potatoes.
 

Logansport Carousel

Co-op field trip! We went to the carousel in Logansport and then off to the local museum. We rented out the place so the kids could ride as many times as they wanted. It was a great day with great weather. 

Picnic Afterwards!

The Logansport Cass County Dentzel Carousel is a one-hundred-plus-year-old hand-carved masterpiece. Patriarch, Gustav A. Dentzel, carved the carousel. The mesmerizing power and fairy tale appearance of the carousel would be nonexistent today if it were not for Gustav A. Dentzel. Dentzel’s carvings were considered “la creme de la creme.” (Carolee Weber. Pharos-Tribune July 16, 2000.) The Cass County Dentzel Carousel is one of three complete, stationary Dentzel carousels in the country

 

Even Lotte got to ride! 

Mrs. Doty took the lead and told us all about the history of the carousel and planned our trip to the museum. 

 Playground by the carousel that looks so similar to ours at home! 

Mamas holding other mamas babies! 

 Even the big kids like it - they had a ring that you could try and grab each time it went around - that was a huge hit to the older kids. 

Coraline and Piper

 Cecily and Nora

Nephi wanted to be the first to take Lotte.
