Halloween Night

Kate had fun trick-or-treating as a butterfly. We went to Scott & Pennie's house to trick-or-treat and she proceeded to fill up her entire candy bucket one piece of candy at a time. She also enjoyed running to the door when the doorbell rang to pass out candy. Little Michael is already a month old (a little too young for trick-or-treating) and is starting to smile. What a cutie!

Kate Can Count!

A few weeks ago we realized that Kate had been hiding a talent that she now has revealed! She can count to four! Steve was reading a book with her one night when the conversation went something like this:

Steve: "One"
Kate: "Two"

Steve: "Two"
Kate: "Three"

Steve: "Three"
Kate: "Four"

I have to admit that was a "proud mom" moment for me. I guess all that counting and reading really is paying off! We caught it on video...take a look! We're still working on getting her to say the number "five", but she does say "six"!

A New Idea with Family Trees...

One of our favorite things in our home is the family tree poster similar to this one that LeAnn made for us for our wedding. We thought it would be cool to use this same family tree idea but with a picture behind the names. So with the help of my brother-in-law Todd, and of course LeAnn, I am now making "new" family tree wall hangings that have pictures in the background. This is the one I made one for my parents' 30th wedding anniversary and I think it turned out really nice. It's 2ft. x 3ft. and it includes 6 generations of names, birth and marriage dates. This one has a picture in the background of the St. George Temple where my parents were married. If you know anyone that's interested in having one made, please let me know!!

New Arrival...

Our baby boy Michael entered the world on October 1st. He's a handsome little guy weighing in at 6 lbs. 9 oz. and measuring 20 inches. He was born at 4:33 p.m.

Michael Steven Terry was born at Davis Hospital in Layton, Utah and was delivered by Dr. Duane Farley. I was induced six days early and the delivery went really well...I was in labor for about 6 hours. Michael's right ear is not fully developed, so we will be doing some testing for that. Also he has an enlarged kidney, but the tests came back saying that there are no problems. Steve wanted to name our little baby after his younger brother, Michael, who passed away when he was 17. Our little Michael has blue eyes and red hair just like his sister did!
