Little Chef

We went on a hike last week and in turned out to be more of a scramble than a hike. It is kind of tricky with having a backpack on with a 19 month old in it.

We made it to our destination! That was close. We enjoyed throwing rocks into water, and finding the right path back to the car.

LE and Ba had fun painting glass jars and making them look like jack-o-lanterns. LE is at a very fun age, and learning so fast.

She has started learning the art of dress ups. After moving from trying on all the shoes in the house, she put on as many pair of pants on as she could-or that BA will help her with. She is sporting 4 in this picture.

One of our favorite games to play is hide and seek. Most of the time we just hide her "baby." She thought it would be so funny to hide herself and she chose to go in the block bag. It was very funny because it was clear, and she keep tipping over and wanting to do it again.


LE was a chef for Halloween, and it fits what she loves to do the most. Whenever either one of us is cooking she wants to be right in the action helping.

Our ward had a harvest fair, which turned out to be very fun. With LE's great cooking skills, she won an award for the creamiest pie in the contest. You would think her age played a role in skewing the judges decisions, but it was an anonymous entry.

This is a picture of us at the fair sitting on some hay.


This is a picture of us with a witch. LE didn't like them when they were close, but loved them when they were far away.

This is a picture of us dressed up for a Halloween party. Ba is a cupcake (with cherry on top), Ry is a receipt and cooking supplies, and LE is our little chef.

All five kids did not smile, but they also did not cry, so that is a bit of a miracle.
Ba put a lot of time into hand crafting this outfit, and it just might be the last year for that.
