Carving Pumpkins

We carved pumpkins for the first time this year. I don't remember it being such a pain! The kids weren't hip with digging out the goo, but they LOVED cutting the pumpkins into tiny pieces with knives! Doesn't get any better than that!

2nd Grade

Time to start another school year! It is hard to believe that the summer was soooo fast!

7 months

Go Cougars!

Just being next to the stadium got us excited for football season!

BYU has a little dinosaur museum. It is free and they have a T-rex head : )

Summer Squash

Well, we harvested the traditional Utah zucchini this year. If you don't check them everyday, they get away from you! Thankfully we have a great chocolate zucchini cake recipe!

I LOVE this baby!!

My Treston is an angel! We have really enjoyed this sweet little guy. We just can't get enough of his sweet smiles. There is nothing better than snuggling him in the morning. Watching Joshua with him makes me smile everytime. It is amazing to see a father's love for their baby, even when it is the fourth time around! I would have ten more babies if they could all be like him!

Road Trip

When our time was up in Denver, my mom drove with us to the cabin. We only stayed one day, but it was unbelievably relaxing! There are no phones, t.v. or internet. It is sooo good to sometimes just get away.
Treston was just starting to get good at sitting up. This is the first time that all my kids have sat on floor and played together. How fun!
Ethan loves bugs! Notice the layer of dirt all over him (that is what the cabin is all about)!
Adalyn is injured : ) Luckily she is good at first aid.
Caleb wanted to take two baths a day because they were always in a tub on the kitchen floor.
Love the rolls!

Family Night at the Park

A couple of nights before Joshua left for a month, we went and played frisbee at the park. Always plenty of laughing and crying!

Isn't this the best toy ever!

Oh the Sweet Days of Summer!

This is Treston's pose for the whole summer. Every where we went, I think I took his picture in his stroller. He is an angel. Always happy to be along for the ride! I would have seven more kids if they could all be like him. He has brought us so much joy!

We spent a LOT of time at the pool in Denver!
We all spent a lot of time in my parent's kitchen. Seems like all we do while we are there is cook and eat...except, this time, we canned everything that we made, so we could focus on eating better and less! The kids spent hours drawing with glitter pens, and playing with play-doh and lite brights.


It wouldn't be a Sinclair photo shoot without one of these pictures : )

Hello Denver!!

For 30 days this summer, Joshua had a military training school in Washington state. So, the kids and I (and our cat, Gigi with her 5 kittens) loaded into the car and headed to Denver! It only took us 10 hours and 5 stops! But, it really wasn't bad, we were just so happy to be on a road trip!

A trip to Denver ALWAYS means lots of fun! We hiked a really neat trail that gave us the perfect view of the Denver Tech Center and Downtown.

I love Adalyn's face in this picture. She is obviously scared of the rattlers.
