Model Baby

Kynnedi's 2 week Photo Shoot. 
She was awake for the whole thing so we didn't get any sleeping photos but we did get some really sweet shots that we will treasure forever. She is such a beautiful baby! 











Kynnedi's First Bath

November 12, 2011 - 

 Kynnedi got her first bath and she was definitely not excited. She screamed and screamed... it was one of the few times she even cried. She is usually such a reserved kid.... but not during a bath.  Maybe next time will be better. 


Dancing Queens

Marley and Rowynne love to dance and boy are they good....  Here is the proof! 

Sammy's

So if you haven't heard the "New" place to be is Sammy's. It's this little place that is famous for its Real Pie Shakes, not to mention the yummy food as well. Sammy's literally has the best shakes I have ever tasted. They are called "Real Pie" shakes because they actually put a piece of pie in your cup and mix it with ice cream. It is such a novel idea... and super delicious. If you haven't gone you need to ASAP! 

Erica, Marley, and Nana (Jennifer) 
We went to the Sammy's in Provo because Erica is studying at BYU and we were down in Provo to see her. Believe it or not my Mom used to babysit Erica and her brother when they were little.


Meygen, Marley, Rowynne, and Cory
We all loved the shakes... the Pumpkin Cheesecake Shake the best!
 I am making myself hungry just thinking about it. 

I need to go to Sammy's Now.... 

Potty Training?

Marley has been recently potty trained so while she was staying with us instead of diapers she had her new panties. Rowynne was very excited about the idea of panties. She would dig them out of the suitcase and insist that we put them on her... usually over her clothes.  One day she decided to wear them a little differently.

 On her Head! 

Shoe Thief

Rowynne has gotten my attraction to shoes. No shoe is safe, any shoe she can get her hands on is hers.  It is funny to find her walking down the hall with someone else's shoe's on.

Monkey Backpack!

November 6, 2011 - 

While Marley was with us she found in the closet the backpack/leash that we bought for Rowynne when we flew to California without Cory. I got so much flack for getting Rowynne that leash... My sister especially was so appalled by the fact that I got Rowynne a leash, which is why I find it so funny that her own daughter wore that same backpack/leash all week. In fact she refused to take it off. She called it her Monkey Backpack... which was funny because it actually is a bear. But I guess I can't blame the kid for being confused by the long tail! LoL 
 Maybe Marley will be getting her own Monkey Backpack for Christmas... 
My sister would just love that! 



Cousin Marley

It has been so great to have Marley here these past few weeks. 
She has been so sweet to Kynnedi, always wanting to hold her and giver her kisses.
 Can't wait till she has a little sister of her own to smother with love!

Three Silly Girls

I love that these three will have each other growing up. It's fun having all girls in the family so far. Sometimes its a little drama with so many girls, but its worth it!

Trick or Treating

Videos of the girls "Trick or Treating":


The Littlest Pumpkin...

  Princess Kynnedi...... 


But as Midnight struck she turned into a Pumpkin.... LoL 

Happy Halloween

October 31, 2011 - 

For Halloween both Marley and Rowynne were Fairy Princesses. They had matching tutus, wings and even a crowns and a wand. I was excited about this year because Rowynne is the age where Halloween actually means something. She might not have had a clue as to why we were dressing up or started going door to door. But when that first person put that piece of candy in her bag she was all for it. She would get so excited about going to each door, it was so much fun watching her this year. Plus it made it that more fun since Marley was with us this year. She was the one that said "Trick or Treat" since Rowynne hasn't got that one down yet.  Next year maybe we will have all three with us! Can't wait! 

 The girls all ready to start "Trick or Treating"
Fairy Princesses 

 First Door.... 

 The doors with candy out on the door step where a bit of a learning curve. The girls thought the buckets were fair game we had some melt downs trying to pull them away after taking only one piece.

 The Look of fear on Marley's face is classic. Some of the decor on the doors was a little too scary for the little ones. There were a couple doors the girls didn't even want to get near... not even for candy!  

 Trick or Treat

 One of the houses we went to had this really cool toy dispenser. The girls loved trying to use the joy stick to grab a prize. We let them do it a couple of times.... shhhh don't tell!

 The girls at the end of the night with the loot. They actually did really well for a 3 year old and a 18 month old. More candy for the parents!

Rowynne with her candy... She was loving Halloween. 
Can't wait till next year! 

Happy Halloween! 

Pumpkin Carving

October 31, 2011 -

Cory's Family has a big Pumpkin carving party before Halloween, but since this year Cory had class and Rowynne fell asleep I was the only one who had carved there pumpkin. So on Halloween my sister Gillian decided that she was going to finish our pumpkins for Halloween.

Marley and Gillian carving the Pumpkins

Marley helped pick out the designs that Gillian carved. She kept trying to put the pieces that Gillian was carving from the pumpkin back in the holes. It was hilarious. Gillian would pull it out and then Marley would put it back in.  So cute.

Sister Love - BOO 
Thanks for the matching shirts Aunt Robyn! 

Our finished pumpkins
1 - Cat in a boot

3 - Smiley Face

Our newest addition came just in time to celebrate her first Halloween

Happy Halloween from the Ivins Girls! 


Three Little Skeletons

October 30, 2011 - 

For Halloween my Mom/Nana got the girls matching Skeleton jammies. The night before Halloween we had to get them out so they would be in the Halloween spirit. The best part was that the Skeleton was glow in the dark and both Rowynne and Marley would totally freak out scared when we turned out the lights and showed them the Skeleton in the mirror. I guess even Pink Skeleton jammies can be scary to the under 3 crowd.

Marley - 3 (almost)
Rowynne - 18 months

Happy Halloween! 

Cupcakes

October 29, 2011 -  
While my sister and dad were here for the week after Kynnedi was born, Gillian decided to make cupcakes with the girls. Gillian is a big fan of anything sweet so Cupcakes was the logical idea. 
The girls were excited to bake cupcakes, any excuse for these two kids to lick the egg beaters! 

Side Note: Marley and Rowynne had gotten into the headbands/bows so that would be the reason for the interesting head ware in these photos! LoL 

 Rowynne is already trying to taste the batter

 Marley showing off her sweet headgear

 These two are great helpers... Even if their choice of headgear is a little weird

 Rowynne digging into the yummy Cupcakes they made... No hands! 

 Marley eating her fair share of the cupcakes.... this one used a Fork!
