Fall Break

Jason had fall break this last week Mon. - Wed. (not long enough in my opinion- but we'll take what we can get!) We used up every minute and had a blast! On Monday we went to the zoo...


Doesn't Jayci look delighted to be there? ha!

Dez and I w/ the real gorilla- he was just chillin' by the glass.

Then we got to go to Vala's Pumpkin Patch- LOTS of fun!! Jayci and Dez both loved it! Probably Jayci more than Dez, but still... :)


Cute family!

Jayci feeding the goats- I think it was her favorite part cause that's about all she talks about now!

Jayci on the jumping pillows- not her fav... she wouldn't let go of my hand! But while she was holding my hand she had fun!

Buried in... corn?!

Ok... Not really. :)

Our new form of "time out". Ok, maybe not.

Looks like Mom and Dad are in trouble too!



The corn maze.

Big girl!

Big smile!

Snugglin' w/ Daddy

Chillin' on the pumpkins

More pumpkins!
It was SUCH a great break and we loved every minute! It ended way too fast. Thanks Jase for making it so great- we love you!

Trip to Nauvoo

We got to stay at a hotel- Jayci was asking the whole week when we could "Go to the hotel and go swimming"! She wasn't disappointed!

Dez wasn't such a big fan, she didn't stay in for long!

She's got her pony, tiger, bunny, and water bottle. Does she look ready for bed or what? Ha!

Dez, you know you can use the whole crib, right?

Jase and the girls at Carthage.

Historic Nauvoo!

Look at that grin! Jayci's wearing the new ring she got at the Blacksmith's Shop.

Dez sitting at an old well.

The Nauvoo Temple- it's absolutely gorgeous!

Sisters

Took this picture this morning... just had to post it cause I just thought it was super cute! Jayci keeps asking to "hold" Dez, but now that Dez can sit up, she's not a fan of being "held" like Jayci likes to do. So this time I tried to sit Dez up between Jayci's legs so they could both be happy. Jayci kept giving her hugs after that. So sweet!

Sprinklers in September?

It was HOT outside on Sept. 29th- yes, so hot that I needed to sit in the shade and Jayci wanted to play in the sprinkler! So here are some pictures of our fun in the water and sun! Pictured above is Jayci with her friend Jane (and Dez in the background).
Gotta love Dezzy's hair! Do you think she looks like Witzy from Suzy's Zoo? Cause I do!

Look at her face! What a cutie! I may be slightly partial though... :)
There's that cheeser grin again!
Such fun!

September Fun!

Bath-time at the Hansen household!

Hey cutie!

Say CHEESE!

Cute girls!!

Handsome daddy!

This little girl just delights me!!!

We have some friends that we have been doing some "door bell ditch wars" with. We went to their house one night at drew random pictures on their front walk with sidewalk chalk. This is how they responded...

And this is how we returned their tray! (Don't worry, there was lots of tinfoil covering it so they didn't have to clean off the frosting!) Super fun stuff though! Kayla would be proud of us. We've had a blast!

Accidental Photo Shoot

I kept taking all these pictures of Jayci on the stairs on days where she looked especially cute, and then I realized it had turned into an accidental photo shoot! It's funny to watch as the days go on her clothes go from summer, to fall-ish, to all out fall clothes. Anyway- here's my little princess with all her necklaces.

And all her bracelets...

Daddy bought me a curling iron for my b-day so I was trying it out on both of us. It was lots of fun!

I always love it when her hair is in pig-tails. And I just thought she looked so grown up! That pony she's holding is pretty much her best friend and she sleeps with it every night! :) Good times.
