Fall is one of our favorite times of the year. The weather is just right. We drove out to a place called Maple Grove to see all the beautiful colors. The girls had fun gathering leaves to take home and going for a short hike in the great outdoors. HAPPY FALL

Bret is such a great daddy. He got his backgraound check done this year so that he could go on the girls' field trips. Last month, he went with Madisen and the 5th grade to Thanksgiving Point and BYU. This month he got to go to the pumpkin patch with Bailey and her kindergarten class.

Riding in the cramped seats on the school bus wasn't too pleasant but he got to spend some quality time with his girls.

Later, we went out to the pumpkin patch as a family for a hay ride and some big carving pumpkins.

Kari is already 3 weeks old. She has not just 1 but 5 mommies to take care of her. She will never have a lack of attention that's for sure.

Emrie is a wonderful big sister to Kari. So far we haven't had any major jealousy problems. She is the first one to try to comfort Kari when she is crying and smothers her with hugs and kisses all day long (sometimes a little too much smothering).

Surrounded by PINK

Our 5th addition is, not surprisingly, another girl. Daddy is surrounded by pink. He says he is going to have to build his shop alot sooner. Some say "poor guy" but we say he is so lucky.
