Oddessey McCaul

It's been 2 months, almost 3, but I'm finally puting pictures up of Oddessey! She was 5 lbs 10 oz, and 19 1/2 inches long. She is so fun! I am so glad that we have a girl, now I get to do her hair and dress her in cute clothes! (all though, Lowynn is a ton of fun, too.)

Carving Pumpkins

We finally carved some pumpkins. I've been begging Derrick to let us buy some. Since Gaven's living with us now, he joined in the fun. Karree was there, but she had to do her homework, so she didn't get to carve one. =( Lowynn helped us, it was so cute. He's getting so big, I love how he can do so much now. Derrick made his the Superman "S", I just did mine the classic jack-o-lantern face, and Gaven's was more of a scary face. We baked the seeds and ate them afterwards. We also watched The Nightmare Before Christmas as we carved and ate. I apologize for the photos of me. I HATE them, I look so fat!

Decorating For Halloween

We LOVE decorating for the holidays. It's finally Halloween time, YAY! I'm so excited, and I love having my family to make memories with. We try to do everything we can to make the holidays seem longer. We love this time of year!

Releasing Our Ducks

After raising them for six months it was time to let them go. It was pretty sad, but I'm glad that we finally did it. No more worrying about them! They loved swimming in the water, and they also made a friend. Another female duck came over to them and was following them everywhere they went. It was a fun experience!

Fall Fun

We are getting so excited for fall! We couldn't wait for the 22, on the 19 we baked cookies and used our fall cookie cutters. We also spent the day planning our annual Halloween party. I can't wait, I love this season!

Stewart's Mission Call

Stewart got his mission call to Little Rock, Arkansas. We went over to the Mecham's for dinner and the reveal. I took some pictures of Lowynn having fun. Derrick and Stewart arm wrestled, it was funny. They just stayed in the same spot for forever, till Stewart finally won. Then they switched to the left hand and did the same thing, only this time Derrick won.

Labor Day Fun

First we went to Payson's Onion Days parade. Lowynn didn't care much for the parade, he just liked the fact that we were outside.=) After the parade we went to the park to look at the boothes and to have a hamburger!

Then we went to my grandma and grandpa's house for a bbq. It was a fun day!

Playing Outside

Lowynn is getting so big. It's so sad, but it's also exciting! He's starting to do so many new things, and it's so much fun getting to see him grow. He loves playing outside now that he can walk. Here are some pictures of him having some outside fun!

Lowynn's first birthday

I know that this is a little late, but here are some pictures of Lowynn's first birthday. I can't believe that he's already 1!

Lowynn and Derrick playing

Derrick and Lowynn play all the time. Derrick can get him to laugh so hard. I love to watch them!

Derrick's Big Performance

This is a year ago, but we're pretty proud of it. Derrick was able to perform with the Jazz dancers. I seen a commercial for auditions for half-time performances. I told Derrick that he had to audition. After some persuasion, he finally said he would. At the audition, they liked him so much that they asked him if he would perform with the Jazz dancers. He agreed to, and it was such a fun experience. I'm so glad that he did it!
