Happy Fall y'all

Kedrick took the girls up to Snowbasin and took them hiking and sightseeing. He also took them on a ride on the gondola. They had a wonderful and refreshing time, and Kedrick was thrilled to finally get to see the gorgeous fall colors.

A little peace and quiet

Aren't kids great, especially when they are sleeping!?

Cleveland

Here is Cleveland getting some sun to try to clear out the jaundice.

His first official tubby time, and after--it tuckered him out.

THE BIRDHOUSE

When Kedrick had some time off of work after Cleveland was born, he built the girls a birdhouse.  We thought it would be 'fun' for them to paint it. Well, it really wasn't fun at all.  They did great for about 2 minutes, then there was just a lot of screaming and fighting.  Then they decided to start painting themselves, which wasn't easy to get off at all--needless to say we learned our lesson about 'fun.'  It was fun for them to put the birdseed in and a lot less stressful on our part as parents.  Well, we still haven't seen any birds come, but it sure was 'fun' making it.

SNAKES!

Kennedy is our brave one, just like her dad. We have had a lot of snakes in our yard and garden this year and Kennedy has taken a liking to them. She was pretty proud of herself and how brave she is.

The Rubicator

This is Brecklin Ruby--she has many nicknames...Ruby Slipper, Rubixcube, cube, and the latest and most fitting "THE RUBICATOR" She has tamed down a bit over the last few months, but she is still very busy and very much into everything.  Basically for awhile Kedrick would ask "Who did this, or who did that?" Now he knows, it was the Rubicator.  She can take the smallest of all pieces of food and somehow she can get it in every nook and cranny of her face, hair and hands. It never ceases to amaze me. We keep thinking it will get better soon, but it hasn't, so her clothes continue to get stained, and our kitchen continues to be messy :)

Cleveland Harvey Ridges has arrived!

At last 'Baby Boy' Ridges has arrived, and after MUCH deliberation (and a few phone calls to the birth certificate office at the hospital...hee hee), he finally has a name: 

       Cleveland Harvey Ridges 

He is so sweet and very calm, we were wondering if he knew how to cry....he does, but even his cry is sweet.  We had him at 10:34pm on Thursday, September 11th.  It was a wonderful delivery, pretty much one push and he was out, weighing in at 8lbs and 1oz and 20 inches long.  He has brown hair with some hints of red.  I am so used to pink and bows, it is a fun change to have some blue and not have to worry about bows :)

Glacier National Park

This was the highlight of the summer! What an absolutely incredible place to be. We went in late July and the weather was perfect, a great change from a Utah July. The girls did great in the car, which was an added bonus. The hikes were awesome too. 

Bear Lake

Here are some pictures from our trip to Bear Lake with my family.  We hiked Minnetonka cave, if you ever get the chance---do it. It is way neat.  Maybe do it when you are not 7+ months pregnant, the 800+ plus stairs in the cave might come a little bit easier:)

Trips

Okay, so I finally got the right device to be able to load our pictures onto our computer, so I want to post some pics of some fun trips we got to take this summer. These are of a trip we took to St. George with our good friends, They Young's. We swam our life away and it was great.
