Time sure does go by so fast! I can't believe that it is the middle of October! Katelyn and Kylie have been pretty sick this week with the flu and we are hoping that they will get better soon. It is so hard because when one gets sick, so does the other one. Kylie was having a pretty hard day today and would not stop crying. Troy came home from school to give her a blessing and she was able to calm down after that. I am so grateful for the Priesthood and I am grateful that Heavenly Father is aware of these two little girls and of Troy and I.

Almost everyday of this entire summer, Katelyn, Kylie, and I have gone on a walk to the nature park so that they could play at the playground, throw rocks in the water, and feed the ducks.
I think this is why they have such good arms and why they like to throw everything! What are we going to do all winter long?

Picking out the biggest rock.

They love feeding the ducks. As many of you know sometimes the ducks are really hungry and they pretty much attack you to get to the food. I would always have to tell the ducks NO and push them away with my feet. The girls got pretty good at saying NO when they got too close. I think that is what Kylie is doing in this picture.

My cute little girls. I can never actually get the girls to smile for the camera, any suggestions?

Congrats Troy for getting accepted to the Medical School in Kansas City! I am so proud of you and all the hard work that you do in school. Don't worry, only 7 more weeks of taking your last Chemistry class at BYUI!! I know that you are excited for that! You can do it! Troy still has some interviews coming up next month so we are not sure where we will be going, but it is nice to have something to fall back on.

The girls are darling! We are excited to see where you end up for school!!! There might be an AFB there!

Tonya said...

YAY Troy!!!!! That is so exciting and such a relief that you at least have somewhere to go! congrats!

As far as having your girls smile... maybe teach them to say Cheese, because that kinda at least makes them have a goofy smile, just by how the face has to go when saying cheese. Other than that, sorry no clues, we're struggling with that too.
