Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from the Rynearson fam. Here are our darling little pumpkins (compliments of Grandma Sue)! We are off to a ward trunk or treat tonight so we'll get to show these girls off. The adults can dress up too I guess. Scott doesn't love to dress up too much... he says all he used to dress up as was a doctor because he could just throw on scrubs. Well, that won't really work around here. They all wear scrubs regularly so it isn't much of a costume. We'll see what we can do. Hopefully we can get some candy! I have such a sweet tooth! I'm not really into the whole ghosts/witches thing about Halloween, but any day I can get yummy candy is a plus for me! Of course I had to buy some candy for the trick-or-treaters! (Truthfully, I'll be shocked if we get even one little kid! We live down at the very end of this country road and no one is going to come all the way down here. More for us!) I love the fall season though. The leaves around us are changing and are beautiful. It is starting to be pretty cold around here, but no snow yet. My favorite things about this season are: 1. Getting out warm, cute sweaters that you haven't seen for a while
2. Cooking with pumpkin! Aunt Joan gave us the yummiest pumpkin cake recipe that has become one of Scott's all time favorites! We've made it twice already! I also just learned the EASIEST treat ever. You mix a can of pumpkin with a package of spice cake and add some chocolate chips. Cook about 15 minutes at 350. Only 3 ingredients and they are so yummy!
3. Caramel apples
4. Fall colors and changing leaves
5. burning autumn candles
6. The holidays that are on the way... Thanksgiving and Christmas! (which means lots of great traditions and family time)

Happy Halloween and Happy Autumn!

3 months old today!

We finally captured their adorable smiles! We have yet to get them both smiling in the same picture, but it will come. Here is Madelyn.

















Here is Bella.



















We can't believe that they are 3 months. They have grown so fast and are so big. They have been the greatest blessing in our life and I don't know if it would be possible to love them any more than we do. Madelyn is a pound bigger than Bella at 11 lbs 8 oz and 10 lbs 8 oz. respectively. They both smile and giggle a ton, and they have started noticing each other. It is so cute because they'll just stare at each other and smile! I love having twins. It is so worth the extra work because it is such fun! 

TV already?

Both the girls totally love to watch Baby Einstein. They will sit and watch the video for like 15 minutes. I push them up in front of the TV and they are happy! Their favorite part is this black and white metronome with a little colored animal attached that goes back and forth. It mesmerizes them! 

Twin Fun!

"Hmm, I think I see a nice fist to suck on!"














"I better open really wide so I can catch it!"














"Got it! Yum!"
 

It is hard not to be a little camera crazy with these girls... here is the test, can you tell who is who yet?





























This is a little stroller I push the girls around the house in. Here they are watching me cook dinner!



















My pink ballerinas! 

lots of pictures

This picture was during the sustainings on the saturday session of conference. The girls didn't last long...both asleep, but they did have an hand out in the affirmative!















We had to have a family picture while Sarah was around to take it for us. It took a lot of work to get both girls looking!















This is out at the state park right by us. The leaves are starting to change and it is gorgeous. 

We love Family Visits!!

We had the best time having Sarah, Jacob, and Andrew come visit us! It was so nice of them to make the 7 hour journey to Kirksville! We loved having them see our apartment and where welive, and of course meeting the girls for the first time. The boys were so cute with them. They were great helpers! Sarah gave me all sorts of tips and help and we miss them already!














Because it was conference weekend of course we had to make conference soup. If you've never heard about it, this is a Lunt family tradition that we've been doing for years. It started when we were all young and mom had us help make the conference soup to keep us occupied and quiet during conference. Since then, we have all grown to love it, and crave it 2 times a year! Basically, you just take chicken broth and go buffet style to make a soup. You fill it up with all sorts of ingredients... hence the many bowls lined along the bar. There is everything from vegetables, to meats, to crunched up doritos! There are always tons of leftovers to have more soup or throw into all sorts of other recipies the following week. Thanks Mom for this wonderfu tradition!





Maddie and the boys!

Sisters are the greatest! Come visit us again soon!!
