Catch up time! The past couple have months have been really busy for us, but I thought I should share some of what we have been up to. August led us to a wedding in Utah for one of Anthony's cousins. It was a lot of fun for us to go down and spend time with family. Lydia really loved seeing the temple. All she wanted to do was to go and see it. When we went for the family dinner at the Joseph Smith Memorial building, you could see the temple through the window. When they closed the curtains to show a slideshow Lydia had a little meltdown because she couldn't see the temple. I hope she can carry that focus with her throughout her life.
August also brought us to Orton where we are living now. We are in Anthony's parents old house and we are living in and fixing up it up. Orton is only 8-10 minutes from Fort Macleod and 25-30 minutes away from Lethbridge. Not too bad as far as location goes, but who knows where we will actually end up.
I know last time I blogged I gave the impression that Brighams eyes were completely fixed. They seemed to be for a while but since then they have moved. His left eye is still a little crossed at times but he has been learning how to control his eyes and how he has to look at me to see a clear image. I think his brain is starting to figure it out. We have another appointment in December to see if a secondary surgery will be necessary. So in pictures and in real life, the way you can tell if his eyes are straight is by looking at the light in his eyes. It should be in the exact same spot in both eyes when he is looking straight at you. Lots of times he will turn his head to make it easier for him to look straight. He hasn't been doing his patching because I just can't reason with a one year old. He can take them off and if it is on he will just cry, so it doesn't really help. Here are some pictures so you can see what I am talking about.

Having all this space out here in Orton is awesome. We have developed a love for slingshot paintball. Because it is slingshot, getting hit doesn't hurt as much, but they also don't always break. And sometimes when you don't wear a full face mask, you get hit in the mouth. It tastes worse than it hurts. Trust me.
Since we are a lot closer to family, Lydia and Brigham get to spend a lot more time with their cousins. So fun!
Lydia has started to fall asleep in strange places....
...and when she wakes up, she has the most lovely hair.
I asked Anthony to put the kids in the bath tub the other day. this is what happened... haha
We also got to see the LCI vs Cardston football game this past weekend. It was an awesome game.
We have also done a lot of renovating but I will save those pictures for another post later on. Hopefully not too much later. :)
