Katelyn Ava Bollard! I guess since she is now a month old, it's time for us to introduce her to the world. She was born on September 21 weighing 6lbs 13 oz and 19 1/2 inches. She is now a good, plump 9lbs 8 oz. She was born in Cedar City and we are so grateful to her birthparents for allowing us to add her to our family. We couldn't be happier!
We were blessed with another baby in my family earlier this month. She is simply adorable and perfect. She has tons of hair, as you can see, and we are so happy to have her in our family. Congratulations Kip and Kaleigh!
Okay, so if you don't realize it by now, We LOVE Disneyland!!! It's our favorite place to go and figure that while Courtney still loves to go on vacation with us, we should take advantage of it. In our defense, this is the first time we have ever gone just the three of us and it was a lot of fun. Here are a few of the highlights:I just wanted to mention that we have no pictures of the first day of school. This is because my daughter just barely stopped crying going to school everyday. I figured it wasn't worth the fight for a picture when she would already wake up crying everyday. Apparently 7 hours a day is way too long for her to be without me(her words). I guess I'm a really terrible person seeing as how I was very excited for her to be in school all day. I must say though, I do miss her. When she gets home and gets her homework done, she wants to play with friends.
Also, no pictures of Halloween. I figure I'm already about 5 years behind in my scrapbooking and really we didn't need more pictures of Halloween. Dave made an awesome Jessie costume for her and she did look adorable. I know, I'm about to get nominated for mom of the year!
We had a quiet birthday for Dave. He wanted doughnuts instead of a cake this year, so this is what I came up with. Brian and Megan came over to celebrate with us. Dave got the movie Dick Tracy from his Vegas brother which has significant meaning. Dave has toys in our garage. Among those are mint condition Dick Tracy toys. Can you say nerd? Courtney was really into making him cards and letters this year(which I think is actually his favorite thing). He also wanted a bike to go riding with Courtney, so they can have fun doing that.
I actually surprised him by convincing him that we were going to Courtney's school carnival but instead, took him to P.F. Chang's for dinner and 3rd row seats to a Jazz game. It was only a preseason game, but I can't help when his birthday is! We had a ton of fun and it was fun to be able to surprise him for once in his life. I did get him to admit that it was better than what he asked for. He asked for a night home with just me and Courtney. The game was so much better.
birthday was clear back in September and my awesome sister-in-law got me a new puppy. His name is Gus-gus and he is a pure bred maltese. We love him so much and he is a great dog! We've only had a few accidents and has even grown on Dave(who says he hates dogs and never wanted one). 
We had so much fun! We went down to Monroe, Utah(yes, it's a real town) for the Pioneer Day celebration. My sister in law is from there and her parents let us stay with them. Sparklers in the backyard.
Megan decided that the girls needed a good, old fashioned water fight during the heat of the day. It felt good to be cool.
Having so much fun!!!
We got to ride on a firetruck at the carnival.
It was so hot at the parade that the water was a welcome relief.
Popsicles at the parade!!!!!!!
Of course, we wouldn't expect anything less than something Tinker Bell from Aunt Megan and Uncle Brian.
Webkinz!
