Braces, bow ties, 90's bangs, socks with sandals, Star Wars shirt....need I go on? 

Instead of going as the Radfords this year, we went simply as the Nerdfords.

And we have the CUTEST nerd of all!

Check out the Hendy's and their amazing outfits. So fun!

This is the life

Can't think of a better way to spend a Friday night!!!

Oh how I love these two!

my lil babe is 3 months old today. Look at those eyes and try to tell me you don't love this lttle gril....
Stori's 3 month-ness
-she smiles all the day long!
-she will sleep 11-12 hrs a night if she eats atleast 6 times in the day.
-loves to read the book "Ma! There's Nothing to do Here" with mom before bed.
-she's loving tummy time nowadays. She can push herself up for about 10 min. without laying her head down.
-she rolls from her tummy to her back. (just not for the camera) :)
-does not like broccoli even a tiny bit!!! She learned how to cry because I ate that horrible green vegetable.
-Still loves mornings, walks, and hangin with mom.
-if she is ever fussy, she can instantly be calmed by just taking a step outside. She loves it out there!
-she is giggling a few times a day. Wish I could capture if on camera
-she has a new love for her swing. It is her pre-sleep routine.
-she keeps eye contact and will follow me everywhere I go.
-not sure if it's accidental, but she can put her binks in her mouth if it's resting on her chest. haha. it's the cutest thing to watch her little fists pushing it all the way up to her mouth!!!

We sure love this little gril more and more each day!

family pictures

We had Meg take our family pictures while we were in Jackson last week and here they are... thanks Meg!

Stori Rose has a red nose from the cold :)

 I love all things plaid so I thought it would be fun to do some plaid pictures. Poor Stori Rose was too cold and had to wear a few jackets! :) 

and I just had to throw this beautiful picture in that SDR took. This is "our spot" in Jackson.

"Bruces"

SDR is such a champ!! Look at him rock these Boise State colors! :)

Yay for "BRUCES" haha

Jackson trip

SDR is anxious to work on all of our pictures from Jackson so I have to be real quick-like with this post!

Our 'Annual Yellowstone trip' turned into a weekend in Jackson instead. 

It was so very very FUN and so very BEAUTIFUL! I love my family sooo much!

We stayed at a fun hotel with an outdoor hot tub that we all enjoyed thoroughly.

Walked around the cute little shops and found a store with the most beautiful name...

just the girls

We saw more wildlife than ever before!

Momma, Pappa, and baby moose.

Family of Grizzly bears-Mom and 3 cubs

And saw one lonely but adorable black bear.

We had a picnic at the base of the Tetons and found some beautiful autumn quakes 

Discovered Signal mountain where SDR almost got jumped by a chipmunk

And ate at a yummy Mexican Restaurant called the "Merry Piglet" (so cute)!

Astoria stayed in her first hotel room. Unfortunately she woke up at 3:30am FROZEN cause the AC was blowing right on her. So she "slept" with me the rest of the night.

We had such a fun weekend and can't wait to go back! Hopefully with all the family next year!

p.s. Astoria Rose laughed for the first time on Sunday!!!! It was in Relief Society and she laughed 3 or 4 times. On the 4th laugh she had all the other sisters laughing with her!

p.p.s SDR threw Astoria in the air to play with her and she cried the saddest cry I've ever heard. Too soon Dan. too soon.

p.p.p.s. Stori Rose rolled over from her belly to her back on 10/11/11 (same day that SDR got braces! :) )

Little Stori Talkin

(not sure how to crop it to where she talks, so go ahead and fast forward about 30 seconds-ish)

But this is why it's so hard to lay her down at night! We have much better footage of her talking, but for some reason it takes forever to put on here. It's been 3 weeks just to upload this video!
