I love October

This month is awesome! As soon as October arrived I could hardly contain my excitement, I just knew this was going to be a good month. And so far it has been!
On the 4th, Sarah and Daniel officially adopted their baby Sophia! We've all been praying so hard for them that they could keep her so this is a dream come true!
The next day (friday) Barrett David Brinkerhoff was born to Brett and Jess!

That night the Bortons came for a visit. Bekah adores James! She follows him around and imitates everything he says and does. When he starts teasing her mercilessly she just watches him in awe. She thinks he's the coolest! Saturday morning we went to Willow Park Zoo and chased the peacocks around. The kids had a blast. We went to Pizza Pie Cafe for lunch and the kids loved that, too! After lunch we headed up the canyon a bit to look at the leaves, the kids had fun throwing rocks in the river. That night we went swimming. Bekah and James loved it, but not Lydia, she thought everyone needed to get out and stay dry! Sunday we watched General Conference and ate a delicious meal before sending the Bortons on their way.
Then up the canyon we went again to do family pictures! We met Chelsey and Cody there so we could take pictures of each other. Bekah was super tired and very uncooperative, but we still got some good ones. And of course the Watkins looked great!

Told ya she was tired!

As soon as we were done with pictures we headed to Barrett's house! He was so tiny and cuddly! Bekah acted way more interested in Jess's M&M's than in the baby, but she did say hi to him and pat his head. On the way home she said "Baby!" I responded with, "We saw baby Barrett!" She said, "Bye-bye baby." When I asked if she loved him she said yeah. On Monday I was looking at some pictures of him and she said, "Baby! Brett!" She loves that family!
