Two Months!

Our little girl had her 2 month appointment this last week. Time sure does fly when you are having fun! I couldn't decide which picture to post, so I put all of them.

She weighed in at 13 1/2 pounds (97th percentile) and measured in at 24.4 inches (98th percentile). She is a sweet little baby, who hardly ever cries. We sure are lucky to have her!

Cousins!

We had family in town for the baby blessing. Parker had so much fun playing with all of his cousins. He was so excited to see Trevor. Of course, you never know how much they really remember each other, but I have never seen Parker act so giddy as he did the night Trevor arrived. He couldn't stop smiling and running around, grabbing more toys to show him, etc. We love having family in town and welcome all who wish to visit!

Autumn's Baby Blessing

On the 2nd of November, Paul was able to bless our little girl, Autumn Dorene. We are so grateful for those who were able to be there and we missed those who couldn't. It was a beautiful blessing and I wish that I could remember all that was said. The thing that I do remember was that she was blessed to have a close relationship with her mother. I feel so lucky to have this little girl in my life and pray that I will be close to her throughout her life.

Mostly, I just wanted to post some more pictures of our little Autumn on her special day, in the dress that I made for her. Enjoy!

Halloween

There is nothing like opening your bag of Halloween candy on November 1st, smelling the combination of fruit, chocolate, peanuts and caramel and knowing that pretty much any kind of candy that you can think of, is at your fingertips. That scent makes me feel like a kid again and I want to eat all of the candy as fast as I can.

Well, thanks to Parker, we got a pretty good stash of candy this year. We were able to participate in a few Halloween festivities this year; our ward Halloween party, the law school Halloween Party, BYU Halloween carnival, and of course 'Trick or treating.' Parker was a bear this year, in a costume that my mom made many years ago.

Our little family at the Law School Halloween Party. Brick Oven Pizza and Trick or Treating!

Emily (our neighbor) and I decided to take our boys to the BYU Halloween Festivities. They had all sorts of fun games for kids and of course, candy. Here are Parker and James.

One of the booths had a computer set up to take cool pics, like the one above. Parker looks so tired!

Parker ran into his friend Jack, from our ward...

Fishing for candy, a Halloween classic!

Trick or treating on Halloween. We have been talking up Halloween for weeks, so Parker was prepared. We went to Jill and Ron's house and trick or treated from there. He little voice was so cute as he said 'trick or treat' at each door. He only went to about 4 houses before he started asking to go back to 'Jill's house.' We had fun giving him the whole Halloween experience and are now enjoying the fruits of his labor!
