Walking home from church with these loves of mine. So grateful for Sunday! #thesabbathisadelight

First day of gymnastics! Lydia did great. As soon as we got in the car she said, "I can't wait to come here next time!"

What do you do when your car says the tire pressure is low, but you are in a dress and you're going to be late to pick up your kids at the babysitter if you don't drive straight home? You pull off the freeway and fill up the tires with air, then say a prayer of gratitude the rest of the way home that you didn't get a flat tire. #basicallyapro #ididcallforadvicefirst #thankgoodnessforgoodbabysitters #sogladitwasntworse #smartvan

Dad of the week moment. Fire alarm in Austin's room just started beeping every minute to let us know the battery backup is low. Managed to install a new battery before Austin or Lydia or Shantel woke up to the beeping. #justsavedsaturdaymorning #thisalwayshappensinthemiddleofthenight #dadpoints

This morning we took Austin's 2 year old pictures. #bribedhimwithstarbursts He is wearing a 12 month shirt that I forced myself to buy (instead of the 18 month size) because it seems such a waste to buy a 12 month shirt for my 2 year old... But I'm so glad I did because it was definitely the right size and he looked so sharp! I can't wait to get the pictures back. @tylerbrookenichols I can't believe this handsome guy is almost two!

Had a great Saturday with the kids. Took the car to get the tire fixed. Took the kids to buy a birthday present for their mom. After a while Austin decided to find a great spot to relax on his sisters lap.#happybirthdayweekshantel

Birthday week started this weekend with some mad skiball skillz and some presents "hidden" just out of my reach. I'm lucky to have this guy in my life who knows how much I love birthdays and who makes sure I always feel appreciated.#peadenbirthdayweek

The best birthday present! My dearest friend @haylidickey got married today. It was beautiful and perfect and everything a September 15th wedding should be. Now she has to agree that 9/15 is the #bestdayoftheyear. Love you Hayli. (And you too, Ben!)

Happy birthday Shantel! I'm so lucky to have spent 7 years with you. I wish you the happiest birthday yet.

Today my baby boy turned two! I was feeling incredibly emotional last night but today was full of too much fun to think about how this marks the beginning of real childhood without any trace of baby-ness left. It's crazy to think that at this time 2 years ago I was just starting to feel real labor pains and it would be another hour before we even started taking about going to the hospital, but two hours later I was holding this little boy on my arms. The past two years have gone by so incredibly fast, but at the same time- I can't remember a time when Austin wasn't part of our family. *sigh* I just love him and I'm so glad he's mine. #emotional #mybabyistwo

Started the day with birthday smoothies (meaning they had sprinkles on top), then headed to Ikea for some Swedish pancakes and birthday shopping 🐖🚂🚂. That was followed by ice cream and then presents! (Plus a nap in there somewhere.) I think it was a pretty perfect birthday for this pretty awesome 2 year old. #favoritethings #nowweown2ikeapigs #itsbetterthatway #helovedhispresents

And what birthday is complete without blowing out candles (#hedidawesome) and eating cake face first? There is something so special about this little boy. He's sweet and funny and he loves trains and trucks and babies. I can't imagine a sweeter boy or a better day to celebrate him!

While I was busy with preparations for Austin's birthday party tomorrow (hello- marshmallow fondant) David and my dad were busy working on some projects for our house that I've wanted done for so long: plugs in the basement and bikes hanging in the garage! I'm so grateful for my dad who will come down and help us with these things and for David who helps make sure they actually happen instead of sitting on a to-do list forever. After this summer I'm feeling like our house is finally starting to come together and I'm so so excited about it. #maybedavidcanparkinthegaragenow #mydadisthebest

It was so fun to play with Lydia and Austin while Shantel was at her morning meeting. #kidtaco

Had a great party to celebrate Austin and his birthday tonight. Feeling so blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderful people. Also... Marshmallow fondant and the Wilton buttercream recipe (apparently the best) made for a pretty good combination on his train cake. It was crazy at the very end but... #finished. Love this sweet boy.

Perfect "between conference" activity for our family today. The Spooktacular extravaganza at Seven Peaks in Lehi was a blast, and although a bit more ghetto than Cornbellys, it wasnt very busy and we all loved it. (plus free with our POAP which I love)

Lydia has been asking to go to the "fall festival" for over a week. (Since she saw the bounce houses from the freeway.) Safe to say she was not disappointed!

Happy fall!

The aftermath of our corn-and-hay filled adventure on Saturday. Allergies! Seriously - they are so bad. I've basically been laid out with itchy eyes, a horrible sore throat, a runny nose and out of control sneezes. Remind me to never ever go back to a pumpkin patch/corn pit again. #allergies
