Happy Halloween!

Rachel & Dad ... probably 1987.


Here's Rach as a fairy and Sarah as a bumblebee ... prob 1992.

Playing with Lily

Lily is so cute and fun! I chase her all around the house and I love to hear her little laugh. We usually hang out in our jammies until about noon. 'Tis the life.

Here are some pictures of Lily playing peek-a-boo with the bathroom door:




She's wearing her "bear slippies" she got from her Pappy.


In this picture I was trying to get a close-up of the slippers, but instead got an embarrassing shot of my HAIRY LEGS! Yikes.


And this is Lily going down for her nap. She won't fall asleep without her passy and all her little friends.

I Heart Sewing

So I've had 2 official sewing lessons, and I'm pretty much a pro. Okay, I suck. But I DID get a new machine!


I also went to D.I. and got TONS of fabrics & scraps.


Here is my practicing:


Yikes. I was supposed to follow the black line, but you can see I had some difficulty.

Halloween Balloons

Lily and I had so much fun today playing with these Halloween balloons we got from work.



Here is us happy:


And here's us pretending to be sad:


Here's Lily looking like a crazy person:


And NO, I didn't sing her happy birthday.

Work, Work, Work!

When do I get to play?!

Pretty on a Sunday

Lily looked so cute on Sunday right before Church, I tried to snap some pictures right while we were walking out the door.

The Epitome of Pathetic...

Yesterday I had to be up, dressed, Lily dressed & fed and out the door by 10am. This is hard. I (obviously) had no time to shower, so I came up with a delightful little plan. I figured if I put on workout clothes and tennis shoes, people would think that I had just worked out, and not that I was totally disgusting! So I sported a "sporty spice" look all day and didn't get any dirty looks. It was perfect.

Charlie the Party Man

We got to watch Charlie yesterday while Brenna & JP were at the BYU football game. He is so fun! Lily LOVES to say hi to him and kiss him on the lips. She is learning how to be soft. He's getting so big and even cuter everyday!!

Do You Wanna Touch

This will get you on your feet...Lily and I have been dancing to it all morning!

Artic Picnic

Yesterday I had the ingenious idea of having Dan, Lily and I meet Brenna, JP and Charlie at the park for a picnic around 6:00. By the time we sat down to eat, it was FREEZING!! We scarfed down our food and quickly drove home. So much for that idea! At least Lily had a fun time running around the grassy hills.

Back to Baby Food!

For a while there, Lily was having a really hard time eating and we were worried. Thanks to the advice of her Nana and Pediatrician, Lily is back on baby food and eating better than ever.

Update on Dan's Leg

Once Dan needed stitches on his nose, but instead he used superglue. Luckily, that was not the case with his leg. Everything is healing fine, no glue needed.

Lily is a Planner

Not only does Lily love to help me clean, but she is also going to be a very organized, planner-carrying girl! I would DIE if she grew up to be an unorganized slob. I would still love her, of course, but I wouldn't like her. JUST KIDDING!!

Longboarding

Dan went longboarding this weekend in the Hobble Creek canyon. I told him to make sure he didn't die (and he obeyed) but he DID come home with blood everywhere! He had one big fall that scraped his knee, arm and fingers. He completely burned all the skin of one finger and it looked so gross! Thankfully, he won't need any stitches and he'll be back on a board in no time.





Here's Lily practicing. She can't wait for her dad to teach her.

Lily + Nana = Fun, Fun, Fun!

This weekend my mom was here from Denver just to see Lily! They had so much fun...you can tell they are special buddies. Lily definitely knows who her Nana is!





We had so much fun going out to eat, going shopping and finding some great bargains, and of course, kissing Lily.

We also went to a cute pumpkin patch in Springville. Unfortunately, we didn't get there until dark, but we had a fun time stumbling over pumpkins and vines. Lily picked out a gourd and it is her little friend she carries around everywhere.







Lily took a tumble in the hay maze...we were trying not to laugh that she face-planted and even got straw in her hair!

My Denver Family

I just got some cute pictures from my dad of the fam in Denver.

Here they are at Hannah's cross country meet: (from L to R)
Spencer (10), Sarah (20), Heidi (14), Blake (6), MJ (30), Hannah (14), Paul (65).
Ha ha, just kidding mom and dad! We're only missing Zach (18) and the Lymans.



And here's Heidi and Hannah. I can't believe they're 14 and smarter, taller, cooler, and way more talented than me.

Cute Crap

1. This is my first OFFICIAL completed sewing project! (That means I followed directions, used a pattern, hand-stitched, and didn't use any hot glue). It's a pin cushion!



2. Check out these ADORABLE rain boots I got for Lily! I am so happy (and proud of myself) because they only cost $8.

Cutest Outfit!

Thanks to Brenna, Lily looks adorable today!! I wanted to document her hotness, but she was not very excited about taking a picture.
