Malia thinks daddy is hilarious!

Here's a cute little video of Malia cracking up at her funny daddy. I love her little laugh! She's 5 months old now.

Halloween

Attempting to feed Malia cereal for the first time. She hated it. We'll try again in a month.

She definitely prefers her bottle! In fact, despite mommy's sad feelings of rejection, she stopped nursing at 3 months!

School Pictures

My beautiful children! Just got school pictures. Mason is in 1st grade. Maile is in Preschool.

Professional Photo Shoot

A friend in my ward offered to do a free photo shoot for our Fib business. So one morning my sisters Becca and Sarah and friend Kristen loaded our kids up and hauled them over to Emmie's house for the shoot. Brinley, Becca's daughter who is normally smiling ALL the time was sick the whole night before and we couldn't get a smile out of her. Zerin, Kristen's son is very photogenic and the only trick is to catch him before he runs off....he's always on the go! Malia has a short happy period if she's not being held and so we took as many pics of her as we could before she started screaming. And Noa, Sarah's son, sat there patiently and humored us with a quick shoot. Here are some of our pics. I hate getting pictures done, especially when dealing with kids because their moods are so fickle. But we did get some good ones. Thanks so much to Emmie for being so patient and letting our kids trash her house! For more Fib info see my website at http://www.fibbibs.com.

Family time this Fall

It's been a while since I've posted. Here are a bunch of pics from the last couple of months. Malia is almost 4 months old now. She's getting so big, smiling a lot, eating a lot, and sleeping more at night (hallelujah!) Here's Malia with her daddy in her favorite position.

We went up to Cascade Springs to see the fall leaves. Got a bunch of pics while up there. Mason and Maile- they actually look like they like each other don't they!

Malia really liked all the colorful leaves.

My cute kiddos!

My favorite people in the whole world!

Mason worried about the acorns that kept falling from the tree.

Good big brother

Poor Munro has been working graveyards for the past few months. He was sweet and offered to feed Malia for me while I got the kids to bed. When I came back, I found him sound asleep. Thankfully he just started a day job.

Malia was just upgraded to the walker. She loved the new perspective of life!
