Preschool and Apple picking

Maddie and Bella started preschool this week and are excited about it. This was their first day. It is fun for them to have their school time again and I have enjoyed some playtime with Nathan. They have a big class- with three teachers. A little girl from our church is in their class so that is nice. I am excited for them to make some new friends too!


We headed out to Lynds fruit farm to pick honeycrisp apples today. Honeycrisps are my favorite kind- so juicy and yummy. It was a popular place this weekend because of the honeycrisp, but there were tons of apples and we ended up with a lot. The kids had fun picking and Nathan finally got the idea that we didn't want the rotten ones off the ground.

Olentangy Indian Caverns

We took a little outing on Labor day to some indian caverns nearby. You walk down 70 stairs to this underground cave and explore around all the passage ways in the cavern. It was really pretty cool. Maddie and Bella kept getting a little nervous, but they survived. Nathan's favorite part of the outing were the sheep and goat roaming around the grounds. He had a cracker in his hand and then goat nearly ran him over to get at it. We grabbed him just in time. It is fun to explore a new city and all the surrounding areas.

Birthday and balloon festival

My 27th birthday party! The kids picked out an icecream cake for me. I loved it.


Cutest kid!


We went to a hot air balloon festival in Grove City over the weekend. The girls thought is was the coolest thing they'd ever seen. They were so happy watching all the balloons get blown up and then take off. Nathan provided entertainment for all the spectators around us because he kept running away from us and everyone was laughing as we chased him.

Birthday Girls!

Our beautiful twins are 4. It is hard to believe. We had a Fancy Nancy party and tried to do everything fancy! The party was complete with glitter and crafts, necklace making, nail painting, story reading, pizza at "The King's Crown" and of course Parfaits! We have so much fun with Maddie and Bella. They are truly sweet and loving little girls. They have an incredible connection and I love watching their relationship. They have the most creative imaginations and are definitely girly girls! We love them.

7 Years

We celebrated our 7th anniversary this July. Amazing! We are finally celebrating tomorrow and headed to the temple. Words can't express how much I love Scott. I can't imagine life without him and I can't really remember life without him. I'm so proud of him, grateful for him, and feel like we are like the same person in a lot of ways- more and more the same with every year. (I L Y T T W E! I win!)

The Kiddos

Nathan is still the sweetest, funnest kid around.

Maddie is really into poses these days.


I think she looks so cute in this!!

Happy 4th!

The Lunt fam has been going up to Oakley for years and years for the 4th of July. We have been gone the last few years so it was a treat to be there with everyone this time. Even our Cali cousins were in town and it was wonderful to see them! M parents did an AMAZING remodel/addition on our house up there and it is gorgeous inside and out. we can't wait to live closer and spend more time there. Here we are for the parade. Of course the candy is the best part.


The cousins put on a Patriotic program with everyone dressed as an important American figure (including our very own Larry Lunt!). Maddie and Bella were a little too nervous to have their own part, but they stood by one of the bigger cousins and had fun.



What is Oakley with out some stick horses?

Aunt Joan, Maddie, Tyler, Bella, Cousin Jo, and Tilly the Hilton dog! Everyone gathered for dinner and then the rodeo. Thank you Aunt Joan for staying with Nathan so we could hit the rodeo!

Maddie and Jake riding!


The classic Oakley swing. I have tons of pictures on this swing growing up.


Bella and Aunt Chantele.

Here the girls are running with a hundred other kids to try and catch a chicken at the kids rodeo. They also got to run and get a 50 cent piece from the rodeo queens.

Early birthday celebration.

Love this kid!

More Utah fun

We were thrilled to stop and visit our great friends from Kirksville- the Nielson's in their gorgeous new house! I'm so happy for them and it was such a treat to catch up. We miss them! Their girls are the cutest and Maddie and Bella had a blast dressing up, dancing, and doing shows directed by Caitlin! Thanks Saysh. We love you guys.


For the past two summers in Utah Maddie and Bella have been spoiled by Grandma Sue and Aunt Joan on a Maddie, Bella, Grandma, and Aunt Joan outing. It is a highlight for the girls and they still talk about it. This year after their trip to Build a Bear they had a picnic in Joan's beautiful yard. It was complete with glittery hat making, lavender bundles and roses for the girls. What a treat for them!

I had to put this up to show grandma and Joan how these kids have been playing with their build a bear stuff. They love to get all the animals all dressed up and accessorized and arrange them on their beds. They were so exctied that the two extra outfits they got fit two of their giraffes!

Utah Highligts

We had such a fun time meeting my dear old friend Leash and her cute boys in Utah a couple times. We hit up jungle jim's and the kids had a blast. I couldn't get Nathan off the little swing ride.





It was a treat to see some of the "Divas" at a baby shower for Laur. (Due so soon! Yay!) I love these girls and don't get to see them often enough. We all lived together at BYU at some point before everyone got married. I have the greatest memories with them and love seeing them turn into wives and mommas! Good luck Laur. I'm thinking of you!
