Ward Halloween Party

We had a blast tonight! Annie's ladybug costume was one of my first sewing projects. I can't wait to make more clothes for her!

After chili and soup, there were several fun games to play.

Annie had a ladybug painted on her face :)

They even had a little dance party for the kids! (Sorry it's so small and blurry! We didn't have our video camera with us.)

Straw Maze

Right outside of our local grocery store, there is little straw maze for kids. Annie has been several times and she LOVES it.

This morning she found this sick toy rat there... she had to carry it around for the rest of the time.

Running through the tunnel... with her rat!

Another Year Older

Yesterday I turned 24... The day started out with a delicious breakfast then sweet gifts and cards from Annie and Nathan. The rest of the morning I was able to sit back and relax as Nathan cleaned the house and took care of Annie's every need :)

Later in the day, the Jacks came to visit! We spent some time with them and went out to dinner at Applebee's. It was so nice to see them again!

The night ended with my favorite cake, Rainbow Chip, and a movie of my choice, Return to Me. Big thanks to my awesome husband, Annie, family and friends to making it a perfect day!

Johnny Carino's

Last night we met up with our dear friends, the Buie's, in Idaho Falls for an Italian feast! This is definitely one of my FAVORITE restaurants.

Despite the scowl in the picture above, Annie did have fun. She soaks up every bit of time she can get with Avie and Jackson!

Luckily, we have plenty of leftovers :)

Bring on the COLD!

The snow is almost here... I can feel it! Can't wait!

She's smarter than you think...

Nathan and I had the funniest conversation with Annie today. I had to write it down before I forgot it. It made our day!

Nicole: "Do you want some dinner?"

Annie: "No".

Nathan: "Do want some oatmeal?"

Annie: "No".

Nathan: "Do you want some macaroni and cheese?"

Annie: "No".

Nicole: "Do you want some candy?"

Annie: "No".

Nathan: "Do you want candy corn?"

Annie: "No".

Nathan: "Do you want some potato chips?"

Annie: "No".

Nathan: "Do you want daddy's golf clubs?"

Annie: "No".

Nicole: "Do you want mommy's phone?"

Annie: "No".

Nathan: "Do you even know what we are saying?"

Annie: "No".

Nathan: "Are you crazy?"

Annie: "No".

Nathan: "Are you smart?"

Annie: "Yes".

We're Having Another GIRL!!!

Everything is healthy and right on track. No, we do not have any names picked out yet... wish we did!

Her little feet :)

We are SO EXCITED for this new addition.

My Fall Decorations!

Some people may carve their pumpkins... I glitter mine!

Annie's New Craft

Nathan helped Annie make these necklaces yesterday. There is even a bracelet to match! She is quite proud :)

Boise Family FUN!

Last weekend, we drove to Boise to meet up with my family for Shaun's football game. Shaun and his team dominated! Unfortunately, towards the end of the game, Shaun took a bad hit to the knee. Luckily, he's doing better now. We're so proud of you, Shaun!

We spent Saturday hanging out at my grandparent's house. Annie loved being pulled in the wagon!

Annie also spent quite a bit of time with her Great Grandpa Hill.

Annie's favorite activity was feeding the cows with Grandma!

Saturday night, we went to our first Boise State game! Special thanks to my mom for watching Annie :)

We had so much fun!!

Boise won (of coarse) 57 to 14.

It was so nice to meet up with family and create some memories! It went by too fast.
