Cousins!

Here is Ezra's cousin Alli Jane - they are exactly one week and one hour apart!

Too precious!

Our bundle of joy!

We are so exited to introduce our new little man! Ezra Ammon Childs! Ezra was born Monday November 3rd @ 5:22 pm. He weighed a whopping 8.2 pd and was 20 1/2 inches long! He is such a sweet little boy and it has been so much fun this last week with him home! Izzy absolutely adores him and wants to give him kisses all the time. She has to know where he is at and when we are sitting down at the table to eat she makes sure that he is in his bouncer right next to her on the floor. So stinking cute! I had to include this photo because I just love these little booties!
This is his going home outfit!


Yes we just kiss these cheeks all day long don't you worry!


Its so funny how you forget how small they actually are!

Go Jazz Go

We are really exited that it is Basketball season! One of our favorite things to do as a family is go up to the Jazz games so we went to a Jazz pregame this past week so I could get in at least one before Ezra comes. I only got one pic before my camera died -bummer!

Trunk or Treat

Our ward had a Trunk or Treat this last weekend. Izabella was so exited to be able to wear her Halloween Costume AGAIN! She has really gotten great use out of it! The other day she wanted me to put it on her so she could wear it around the house!

Maddelynn (cousin) and Izabella

She is really starting to get the hang of Halloween and LOVING all the candy she has gotten so far. Every morning she wakes up and the first thing that comes out of her mouth is "I want a sucker! " The instant that we got home from the ward party she sat down and just started ripping into her candy and eating as much as she could before we noticed what she was doing - smart little cookie!

Scarecrow Festival

We have been really enjoying this fall this year; such nice weather & lots of fun things to go and do! We went to the scarecrow festival down at Thanksgiving point. They had a great area set up for kids 4 and under and Izabella enjoyed her freedom to run and play and pretty much do whatever she wanted!

Family Party

Since my parents moved here this past summer we decided that we needed to start having an annual Halloween Family Party. My brother in law Jeff had a great idea of getting a bunch of hay and putting it in the back of my Dad's trailor and having the kids dressed up in their Halloween costume to have their own personal Hay Ride! They loved it!! We also got bags of candy to throw out to the kids playing in the neighborhood. The other kids saw how much fun we were having so a bunch jumped on board and had a blast with us!

Here is cousin Brookelynn and Izabella At first Izzy wasn't quite sure what to do and wasn't too sure about her costume. She got used to it and when it was time to change she wasn't too happy!

The family crew after a great time!
Izzy and Jeffrey a little confused at first when we took off because they weren't buckled in their car seat!

Sugar Cookies

So I thought that it would be fun if I made sugar cookies and let the kids decorate them all by themselves! They had a blast and let me tell you they made a MESS! But it was sooo worth it watching how much fun they were having! Izzy is a little stunned here that she was able to get dirty!

Here is Izzy's cookie! She did is all by herself! I was pretty impressed and even more impressed that she got frosting on the cookie because she was pretty much licking her knive the whole time!
Here she is after she was done and completely content with all the sugar she just consumed!
