Fall is in the Air!!!

I love Fall time!!! My sister-in-law and I have made it a tradition to take the kids to Gardner Village to see the witches! The weather is absolutely perfect and the kids had fun. Farmor came too and they loved having her there.

Farmor and Kajsa

Kajsa has loved seeing all the pumpkins everywhere this year.

The cutest witch I saw that day!!!

Farmor, Brynn, Kajsa, Jenny, Björn, and Sara

I couldn't decide which picture of Björn and Kajsa to put on here. They are just so darn cute together!

CHEESE!!!

Brynn seemed to enjoy it too!

Fun with Friends

Kajsa and Brynn have been having lots of fun with friends lately! One of my good friends, Brittany, just moved back to Utah and we have had fun getting together with our kids and hanging out. Kajsa's first BF just moved away. Her and Korinne became good friends because her mom was my visiting teacher and they got to play together every month and at church. We have gone to the Aquarium with Jenny and Björn. Kajsa got to play with her other good friend Ari. They are cute together. We also got to see baby Bree for the first time. I forgot to get a picture of her! Such a cute girl just like her big sister. Ari and Kajsa were so cute when they each said their baby sister's names. "Bee & Bynn". I am sure 'Bee and Bynn' are going to be great friends too! We have all had fun visiting and playing with friends! Fun times!!!

Brynn & Alexa checking each other out! Brynn is 1 month younger than Alexa. Alexa is one of Brynn's friends from the ward.

Ashlyn and Kaysen

Brynn's first time on the swing by herself.
She absolutely loved it!

Kajsa had to invite Korinne over before she moved away!
She is going to miss sweet Korinne!

They are so stinkin' cute together!

I guess they thought it was fun to pretend to take a nap! I love the little smirks on their faces!

Björn and Kajsa at the Aquarium.

I love Brynn's face in this picture. I told Kajsa to read to her and Brynn had to smile at the camera!

Kajsa and Ari
This was the best picture I could get of these two cute friends!

Movin' and Groovin'

Brynn is now attempting to crawl. She pretty much just scoots, but it is a step in the right direction! This is for you grandma, poppy, farmor, and farfar!

Go BYU!!!

I had to post this video of the two biggest fans of BYU; my girls!!! This is also for my friend Dawn who I miss dearly this college football season! I know she will read this post! She is a huge U of U fan and she is now living back East! I will miss our friendly weekly smack talk about each others' team! So this is for you Dawn! GO BYU!!!

(Dawn, I won't even bring up the big blowout that happened on Saturday because I am sure you have already heard about it!)




(I love Brynn's new trick of clapping her hands! She knew we were talking about BYU and had to do her own little cheering!)

Party for Anna-Lisa

Beautiful Anna-Lisa Östhed

Simon's farmor is visiting from Sweden and so we had a big shindig to welcome her! Since I have been in the Östhed family she has visited America 4 times. She comes and stays for 3 months at a time and it has been fun to get to know her better during her visits. She is such an amazing woman and the reason the Östhed family joined the church. There were over 40 family members at the party. This was the first party in a long time that so many Östheds have attended. Anna-Lisa had 4 of her 6 children in attendance. (two sons live in Sweden) It was fun to see everyone and visit and of course enjoy so much delicious food!

Björn, Mattias, Anders, Adam, & Kajsa

Two cute independant 2 1/2 year olds.

The whole group, minus a few.

Checking out the fish in the pond from the balcony.

The Jörgen and Christel Östhed family.
This is probably the first picture of everyone in it!

These two are best of friends!

Peter Pan

This movie has been the latest craze in our home the past two weeks! I think it is probably Kajsa's first real obsession! I thought she was into princesses, but she just can't make it through the day without her daily showing of "Pe-er Pan". When the movie ends she breaks down and whines, "My Pe-er Pan". She says it like it is the end of the world! We are still old school and have a VCR and so Peter Pan was one of the newest hand-me-down videos we have gotten. Thanks Baynes Family!

I guess Kajsa thought that Baby needed to hold the case.
Usually Kajsa has to hold the case while watching the movie!
