Baby Kimber Lyn Rawlings

We are yet again an Aunt and Uncle! I hope I am not stealing the parents thunder by posting these pictures but she is just so cute! Matt's Brother (Tyler) had his little girl Wed, October 13 at around 5. She was 7 lbs. 11 oz and 19 1/2 inches long...quite little compared to her big brother T.K. We are so happy she is part of our family now! Amber did a great job I can honestly say after witnessing her give birth I am no longer scared for the same experience. OK, who am I kidding I am scared to death:) Here are a few pictures of Kimber and family.

This is 30 sec after being born

Kimber was so sad

"I want dad" T.K. says, so we put him in the window and took a picture with dad

First Mommy/Baby Picture

One big brother, one proud dad, one little miracle, and one tired Mommy!

He was so Happy! I hold her I hold her

Fall Family Pictures

My cousin Amanda takes BEAUTIFUL pictures! She has a blog you can take a look at some of her work http://greatshotsphotography.blogspot.com. We asked her to take a few for us with the leaves changing and the dogs! Here are just a few:

Up Payson Canyon

Yes Matt was sitting on the ground while I stood

I love the leave change!

BLK and WHT

We couldn't leave out the dogs!

New Truck, New Trailer...whats next!!!

Matt and I decided we needed to get another truck, especially for the winter. So we found this great work truck.. It's a dodge so of course Matt could not resist! We also bought a smaller trailer for matts "stuff", he has asked for one for 1 1/2 years now so finally we saved enough money to get him one!    Work has been crazy busy for him so he definitely needed one!

Here is his "New" Truck

The long awaited trailer

Five then Three then One now Five

Back in March Matt bought me some chicks! We raised them to the point they were laying eggs, we built them a beautiful chicken coop and then one night three of them mysteriously vanished. Or so I thought until Madison found a headless chicken over by our fence! Then the skunk got one more until we got it in a cage. We were left with one chicken and she was so lonely we had to get some more! So now we have yet again five chickens!

Plymouth Red-rocks and Rhode Island Red

Here is there home!

I think I can I think I can...

After another month gone by and still no baby I am feeling quite discouraged! However, one doctors appointment later and a dairy keen shake I have hope yet again! I cannot understand how some people think of getting pregnant and pow it happens and others struggle for years! For me this is my trial at this time and I will take what comes and love it! I will just remind myself I think I can I think I can I think I can!

On another note, the house is decorated for HALLOWEEN finally! I'm looking for some fun costumes for Matt and I. I have found a few we like but not quite sure yet! I absolutely love all of the colors that surround this beautiful valley! We enjoy sitting out on our deck watching the sunset and looking at all the oranges,reds,greens, and yellows throughout the mountains as well. Oh ya we also got 4 more chickens, cross our fingers that these ones won't get eaten!

Moons, Ghosts, Pumpkins and Green Cats

While I was watching Madison the other day she said "lets make cookies", so I said "OK, lets make Halloween cookies". She decorated some of them and while she wanted to initially make cookies to eat she ate lots of frosting and left the cookie:)

Ta Da she says

Meggy Can you see me?

The Occasional Kieth Rawlings Family Reunion

Matt has always wanted to get all of his family together for a reunion. It finally happened. While we were going to head down south plans changed so we decided to stay in Heber Valley and have some fun here! While not everyone was able to stay the entire time it was fun to see everyone and have a good time! We went four-wheeling up to cascade and down snake creek, had a picnic, and stayed at an awesome place sat night, just lounged around and talked. Here are a few of the pictures we took along the way!

Adventures

It has been a long time since our last post. SO much has been happening in the Rawlings house. We now have 2 dogs, sam and maggie, we love them so much!
School has started and I am not enrolled for once! Bitter sweet moment I suppose.
Matt is busy as ever with work and all his "ideas". We are still enjoying our nursery calling when we actually make it to church!

My little sisters and Matt

Here are a few pictures of our ADVENTURES!
