Sad news...

It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I tell this news to family and friends. Spencer and I found out at the end of Oct that we were expecting another baby in our family! We were so excited and have been hiding this news, as we did with our last child, until we were going to find out the sex of the baby. I was so excited to be a mother of three before I was 25! Today we found out through four ultrasounds that I had blighted ovum...which is where for some reason or another the fertilized egg does not develop and so there is just an empty sack in the uterus. Now I am miscarrying and let me tell you IT SUCKS! We were so excited to have this baby join our family in June but I know that Heavenly Father had different plans.

ZOE!

These photos are from last Tuesday November 17th when my mom and I got to go to the hospital and see my sweet new niece Zoe after she was born! She is just the darn cutest little thing! So sweet too...I didn't even hear her fuss! I am so excited to have her in our family and that my little girls have one more girl cousin to play with!! We love you Zoe Jane!

What an Angel!

I was lazy to post all of these photos but here they are! The Scarecrow Festival is put on by West Ridge Academy where Spence and I work so we get to work there every year and take the kids for FREE as well!! We got the cousins together and had a great time!
Lyla just loved riding the pony! She really was excited the whole time she was on it and was giggling and just having the time of her life!

Sweet girls!

Here is a pic of my sweet Abigale! I was trying out her hair to see if we were going to be able to get it into pony tails for her Halloween costume! It worked!!

This is Abby with Cosmo at the last BYU game! She just loves him!

Had to get a photo with the Cosmobile...Here as our pumpkins this year, of course a Y and a mummy face

And a bat. My sister in law Mandi did the BOO pumpkin!

Here are my girls at book babies the Wednesday before Halloween! They were excited to get dressed in their costumes!

Here is Abigale before going to the ward trunk or treat. My little Abby-Caddabby!

Here is a pic of the girl cousins...Tori was a witch, Abby was Abby-Caddabby, Mayli was Dorothy, and Lyla was a monkey!

My sweet monkey!Here are the girls as they did the walking parade! Notice Abby's little pageant wave...

Lyla couldn't resist digging into any candy bowl in her reach! So silly!

Halloween was such a Blast this year!! I think everything is better now that I have my two little girls! I love to just watch them as they learn new things and enjoy life! I hope that everyone is doing well and that you all enjoyed your holiday!

My little girls are growing up too fast! Lyla will be 1 in less than two weeks and Abigale will be 3 in a month and a half! CRAZY! I never thought that my life would turn out like this but I am so glad that it did!!!
