Thanksgiving

We headed down to St. George this year for Thanksgiving to spend the weekend with T.J.'s family. We had a great time enjoying time with them and Olivia absolutely loved every second of it. She couldn't get enough of Grandma Kim and her cousin Rylee. So I took my camera all the way down there and when I went to take some pics I realized that I had left my compact flash in the computer at home! Errrr... I was so mad at myself. So there a only a few pics and they are from T.J.'s phone, so the quality isn't great.

Grandma Kim had a fun little activity for the little ones while we were cooking dinner. They made turkeys out of apples and marshmallows. Here is Olivia's, she couldn't resist having a few bites before it was done.

The next two pictures are of Olivia with Grandma's lipstick all over her face. I don't think she even came close to actually getting it on her lips. She accomplished getting all over her shirt though. Thank goodness for Kim and her getting the lipstick out of it.

Olivia and her cousin Rylee were so funny together and had a blast playing for a few days straight. While the girls went shopping on Friday the guys were in charge of the kids. I got a picture message from T.J. about half way through shopping that said "who Say's we can't babysit" They put the girls in the pack in play and told them to pretend to be sleeping. I thought it was pretty funny.

We had a great Thanksgiving and are so Thankful for all our many blessings,

I can't possibly name them all but here are a few:

Family

A home

The gospel

Jobs

Friends

freedom

Temples

and the list could go on.

I'm especially thankful for my hard working husband and his love.

For being able to be a mother

For my adorable Olivia and Amelia (9 1/2 weeks until she arrives)

My families health

My faith and testimony of the Gospel

I often forget about the wonderful blessings that I have . I'm truly grateful for my Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ.

October 2010

I can't believe that October has come and gone just like that! I feel like I didn't have a second to breath the entire month. We have been super busy with getting lots of stuff done around the house and preparing for this baby to come. With working part time and taking a ton of pictures, plus being 7 months pregnant and having a two year old, I feel exhausted! We enjoyed the warm weather all month long and had plenty of park days. Olivia is as busy as can be and is getting bigger and bigger.

Halloween this year was a ton of fun! Olivia had a better understanding of what she was supposed to do. She was the cutest little giraffe ever! We went to my sister's trunk or treat and only lasted about ten minutes due to the down pour that started as we did. After the rain stopped we decided to take her trick or treating to the houses with her cousins. She loved it! She wanted to walk the entire way and we went quite a few blocks. She said trick or treat at every door and thank you! It was a great Halloween with really yummy food, thanks to my mom and sisters! I didn't take very many pictures but I had to get one of my nephew Isaac, who was mad hader ( not sure how to sp). I think he pulled it off perfectly.
