Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween!! So I am a little late but we had a great Halloween! The night before Andrew and I got dressed up as a 50's couple and went to a FUN party that our friends were having! Andrew wasn't so sure about his costume but decided after we were both dressed up that mine was worse;) I really couldn't figure out how to do my hair 50's style..so I just put it in curlers and it was poofy! The night was fun..I took my camera but didn't get pics..how lame, huh! We ate, played games, and visited! There were lots of fun costumes...great ideas for years to come;) Thanks Liz for all the work and fun!!

Our cute friends!! The were smurfs...I loved it!!

Halloween day we took Ems to SUU where they were having a trunk or treat! Her and Myla were so cute! Emma found this dog and loved it!! I can't wait to let her have a dog...she absolutely LOVES them!!

Then after her nap off to Emerald Pointe we went! They were almost finished so we were the only ones there, but it was fun showing Ems off to all the fun ladies I work with!! They thought she was adorable..I thought so too!!

Our little lady bug!!! Isn't she so stinkin cute!!

Then we headed off trick or treating around our ward! We went with the Taylors and had lots of laughs and fun! Myla and Emma were so fun to watch...they really ended up getting the hang of walking up to the doors and getting treats!!

Waiting...waiting...

Our little lady bug and cat!!

Myla was so good at saying 'thank you' and Emma would 'sign' 'thank you' but everyone thought she was blowing kisses....oh well:) we knew what she was doing!! I decided having kids makes Halloween that much more fun! I have always liked Halloween but with a little one it is lots more fun!! I hope all of you had a fun Halloween!!

October Fun!

I can't believe that it is the end of October already!! Time continues to fly by like crazy!! I feel like I can't keep up or get ahead with anything! Does it ever slow down??! I keep thinking "ok when I am finished with school life will slow down" but the more I think about it the more I realize that it will just be a different busy..but honestly I love my life and I wouldn't change a thing..well except being finished with school;).. I love learning but it is just SOOOO time consuming... Other than that it is pretty much perfect though!! Anyway enough complaining, here are a few pics of our evening of carving pumpkins and Emma's first time playing in the snow by herself!

These are just a couple of fun pics of Ems. She just found these sunglasses in her toy box and now loves wearing them all around the house!

Her new boots from Nana...they are a little big but she didn't seem to mind! Grandpa D will love them!!

Catch up time!

It has been a while since I posted anything! Not anything majorly exciting has been going on besides being here in Cedar..playing with Ems, going to school ;), and working! Here are some pics, however, of the past month of things we have been doing! For FHE this week we took a drive up Cedar Mountain to see all of the leaves changing and it was sooo BEAUTIFUL! I absolutely LOVE it when the leaves change colors...even though they don't last long on the trees after!

A couple stopped when they saw me taking pics and offered to take a pic of us all!

I have been looking for something to help Ems float in the pool because when we hold her in the pool she just wants to take off! So after searching the Internet I found this! It had over 50 reviews and all of them were excellent ratings so I figured it had to be better than some of the others that said 'makes them fall forward or backward', 'not recommended', etc... As soon as she was put into the water she floated to her back and wasn't so sure of this but by the time we left the pool she was able to keep herself centered by her arms! She seemed to really like it! It is actually for a 30-50 pound kid so its a titch big but it doesn't seem to be a problem!! We can't wait to keep using it!

Splash..splash...splash!!!

One of our days off we headed to St. George. We took Ems to this little area in down town and she had sooo much fun! She is such a little social butterfly..she made fun little friends to play with!

I love this picture because of her face...very determined that the water wasn't going to catch up to her! She is such a climber..she makes me nervous sometimes!!

Pure happiness;)

Emma playing in a puddle in our parking lot! I was taking pics and I realized she was bending over licking the WATER like she does in the tub!! Extremely nasty! I kept having to catch her hand before she would put little rocks or whatever could be found in it in her mouth! I don't know if she is ever going to grow out of this stage of putting everything into her mouth!

Dancing in the puddle!

A friend of mine took these fun Pic of Emma! She took some of her little girl and I loved them so we had a photo shoot with Ems and these are just a FEW of the pics she took! There were SOO many that I LOVE so I just randomly picked some to show! Thanks ANDREA you did such a good job...it was lots of fun!!

Life is going great! I LOVE this Semester of school...so interesting...Ems is sooo much fun and keeps us going and laughing! Andrew finally has a break from school...I am happy for because we get to see him more..but he misses school;)

Fair Time!!

Wayne County Fair time!!! The fair is always a good time to see family and friends from good ol' Wayne! This year we were able to go up on Thursday so we got to enjoy all of the festivities and since Emma is older she was able to join in on all of the fun! Here she is hanging out with her cousins at the Rodeo! They played with her lots and helped entertain her since the rodeo couldn't keep her attention...or mine! It was a pretty lame rodeo in my opinion..but still fun to go!

Lance giving Em's some candy they caught during the parade!

Lex, Emma, and Mitch waiting for the parade to begin..the sun was bright so Ems had her eyes
closed!

Daph and Ty just relaxing!

Look at this HAIR!! It actually was cute before the parade started but with the wind this is how it looked afterwards....Yikes!

Before the Derby we had a bbq with all the fam at Shane and Nycole's house, which was lots of fun! The little girls thought it would be fun to dress Emma up in Haylie's princess attire...they were so excited to have her walk out and show us! Emma wasn't so sure about the wings and crown! But she sure looked cute!

Destiny, Emma, Lexi, and Kierra

The boys enjoyed playing horse shoes...Andrew and Ty were on a team to begin with and lets just say the "City" boys didn't do so well..maybe next time!

Shane has gone to a lot of work in their yard and it looks gorgeous!! He built this patio as you walk out their doors which is all decked out with his sink, grill, fridge, and lounge area! Thanks Shane and Nycole for letting us enjoy your home!!

The derby was lots of fun..loud, stinky, dusty, sunny all enjoyable when you are enjoying cars crash!! Thank you Mom and Dad for watching Ems for us!! Thanks Bill for the bunny ears!!

Two cars pushed into the dirt right by us!! This green car was awesome and won!

See the poop!!! Ty bought some fake poop at the park earlier during the day and would place it on the grass and watch people walk around it, step on it and check their shoes, ect ect....it was sooo funny!! We were laughing tons and tons...can't you just imagine it...fake dog poop! Well Mitch decided to bring his 'poop' to the derby..they would place it right where people had to walk and of course had many laughs watching everyone! Cheap great entertainment..Thanks Ty!!

While we were at the derby our little climber thought she was big enough to reach in and get a toy from the toy box and in she went...this is her little black eye she got! You can't see it really well it looks darker in person...it didn't slow her down one bit though she still thought she should be able to climb and explore everything...my mom had to follow her all over trying to keep her down!! Thanks MOM!!

While we were in Bicknell I finally got to go out with Andrew and shoot his hand gun. He had taken it out to shoot before when we were there but I hadn't ever shot it so I wanted to go and try, and actually I didn't do too bad!! It was really fun..very loud but fun!!

Thanks babe for taking me!

My 5 year reunion from high school!! Wow how time flies!! We enjoyed getting together with a few of the people I graduated with and catching up to see how everyone was doing! There were only 15 of us there so we missed everyone that didn't come but had fun seeing everyone that was there!! By the way THANKS NICOLE for going to all the work to get everything put together for us..it was lots of fun!!
