Dan took pictures of our family after all the leaves fell off the trees. Andy racked all the backyard leaves into a pile. The kids had fun playing in them. I love the pictures of Baylee. She looks so sweet.

Kraft Christmas Party!

It was fun to dress up for the party, but Andy and I just aren't the most social people. Dinner and dessert were good. After dinner they had dancing. Andy and I aren't big dancers like Dan and Linsey. We had fun though on our date. Before the party we did a little Christmas shopping for me. It was fun. I bought some shoes I have been wanting. I like my hair short, but there is not much to do with it when you get dressed up. I think I am still getting used to it.

Carousel!

Here is a better picture of Baylee smiling on the carousel (sorry I spelled it wrong the last time). Andy took it on his new iphone.

Baylee's first words!

Since we came back from Washington Baylee has been talking so much more. It is fun to hear her learn new words. Her first word was dog. Of course! Here are all the other words she can now say.

Jack
Mama
Dada
poop
thank you

uh-oh
no
fishy
hot
baby
hi

My Christmas Decorations!

This is our first Christmas tree. Yes it is fake, but that is what I wanted. It looks real to me. Andy wished that we could get a real one, but this is so much easier. It is already pre-lit. The Happy Holiday blocks is the craft we made after Thanksgiving dinner. The Merry Christmas blocks we made at Relief Society enrichment. It is fun to have Christmas decorations up.

My first short haircut!

When we were in Seattle my sister-in-law Courtney thought that I should get my haircut short. She has a friend that lives across the street from her that went to the best beauty school in Seattle. She did a great job. I love it. It is definitely different. She spend some much time on my hair, which was great.

Children's Museum in Tacoma.

Hank and Baylee playing in the restaurant. They were taking Grandma's order. Baylee and Hank then wanted to finger paint. Baylee made a mess. She had an apron on, but still wiped her hands on her shirt. It did come out though. They had fun and it was free.

Riding the Carosel!

Baylee and Hank rode the caraosel. Baylee had fun riding with Grandma. She was scared riding it with me. It was fun to see her go round and round. It wasn't really cold that day, but it sure felt cold. Afterwards we went to Dicks for lunch. It is like In and Out burgers. It was really good.

Thanksgiving in Seattle!

Our camera isn't very good quality. So sorry you can't see the pictures all that clearly. We spent Thanksgiving with Andy's family. We really enjoyed being together. After Thanksgiving dinner we made a Christmas craft. It was really fun. It was a fun tradition to be apart of. I don't remember the name of this place we are at in the pictures above. My brain doesn't work so well when I am pregnant.

Trunk or Treat!

Baylee with her friend Hannah. She is sharing some of her candy with Hannah.

The second round of picture taking Baylee was mad so they didn't turn out so good. We got some of her at the Trunk or Treat playing with all the kids. She had a blast. The older children were throwing a ball around and she stood in the middle just watching it go back and forth. Andy passed out the candy while I took Baylee around to the cars. At first I held her, but then she saw all the kids walking so she wanted to walk and carry her pumpkin bucket by herself. She looked so big. Her bucket got a little heavy so she was dragging it on the ground. Between each car she would stop and put her bucket down and take out a piece of candy. She is definitely related to her mom. When I was a kid I had all of my candy eaten by the next two days. Baylee looked so cute in her costume. I just had to kiss her all night.

Kraft Halloween Party!

Andy's work had a halloween party friday afternoon. They had food, crafts, and candy. They divided the candy between ages and since Baylee is the youngest she got all the cookies, pretzels, and suckers. Oh well it is probably better that we don't eat it. Baylee had her first hot dog, sucker, and tootsie roll. The candy was a bad idea. She got the sucker and tootsie roll all over her costume. Next time she will eat a sucker naked at home in her high chair. She did have fun though.

Happy Halloween!

This is the first round of pictures. Baylee is so active it is hard for her to sit or stand still. I stood her on our chair so she couldn't move. It worked pretty good. She loved her pumpkin bucket. All week she has been putting her toys in it and carrying it around on her shoulder like a purse. Everyone thought Baylee looked adorable. She had so much fun. Baylee took her ears off at the end of the night. I was surprised it wasn't sooner. She is growing up so fast.

Baylee in her business suit!

When my niece Madelyn turned one I gave her this outfit. Heather gave me some of Madelyn's clothes so I got it back. I was so excited. I think this is the cutest outfit ever. At church everyone said how cute Baylee looked.

Let me out of jail!

Baylee loves to play in the dog's crate. Sometimes she shuts her and Jack in the crate together. She looked so cute that I had to take some pictures of her in the crate. She shut the door all by herself and decided to lay down on her belly. She is so silly sometimes. She always makes us laugh. We love her so much.

Happy Birthday Robyn!

I hope you like your apron. I really enjoyed making it. I am very proud of myself. It is a lot cutier in person. I tried it on and it fits great. I am going to mail it tomorrow. Have a great day.

Indiana!

While Andy was out of town for two weeks Baylee and I went to Indiana to visit my parents and Heather. We went to my nephews football games which was a lot of fun. I started making a quiet book for Baylee and my mom and I made a brown pencil skirt. I am very proud of myself. It looks like it came from the store. I really enjoyed staying with my parents. I will miss them, but I am so glad that Andy is back. It was a really long time to be gone. Baylee had fun playing at my parents house. Her favorite thing was to go through all of their cupboards. She liked playing with the cereal boxes and climbing on the furniture. Jack liked playing with the fake trees and taking out all the moss. We had to move them upstairs so he couldn't get them. It looked like a forest upstairs. My parents did great with Jack. I am glad they let us come and stay.

Preston and Baylee!

Daddy and Baylee dressed alike!

Twins dressed alike!

When Ashley came to visit we wore the same dress to church. A girl from my ward thought Ashley was me. She was really confused. I love Ashley so much. I am very sad that she moved so far away to California. I hope we get to live close again.

Baylee and Grandma!
