Autumn in Vegas

I am 30 weeks along and 30 years old! We can't wait for our baby girl to get here, even though we don't have a name for her yet. January 28 can't get here fast enough!

On November 11 it was Veterans' Day and since Greg didn't have to work we decided to go to the Springs Preserve.

Emily had a great time looking at all of the plants and animals, but her favorite part was the playground!

So cute!

We saw some pretty cool exhibits, including the butterfly one! They were huge and EVERYWHERE!

I don't know if this picture does it justice...

It was such fun family outing and it even warmed up by the time we left!

On Thursday we went to the temple and took turns doing initiatories. Emily loves walking around the temple and seeing Angel Moroni. 

She's a pretty religious girl, I mean, look...she LOVES to study her scriptures too.

Last week Greg got released as Young Men's president. The Young Men in our ward were pretty sad to have him go, so they came over Thursday night and surprised us with dinner. It was a fun night! Greg will miss serving with them.

I must admit that there is nothing that is much funnier than listening to their conversations at the dinner table...

The following day I took Emily to the park...her favorite place.

Then she played the piano with Greg...another one of her favorite things!

Lazy Saturday morning at our house...

Our little Emily.

Halloween Week

Halloween was so much more fun this year. Emily was excited to participate in all of the Halloween activities. On Monday night we carved our jack-o-lantern.

Nothing too fancy, but it turned out great!

Emily loved being our little helper.

We rewarded ourselves by making some yummy candy corn cookies. Then we ended the evening watching one of my favorite Halloween movies: Disney's Halloween Treat.

Emily was pretty patient all week waiting for it to be Halloween and then finally it came!

Emily was Princess Aurora (AKA Briar Rose). She doesn't have her crown on in this picture.

I was a magic 8 ball. Everyone kept asking me if I was 8 months along...

Haha, not quite! I've got 3 more months. Greg was Zorro, but he wouldn't let me take a picture of his awesome costume. It was a fun Halloween.

To end off our great Halloween, we finally sold our blue car. It was bitter sweet I guess. I bought it back in 2008, right before I graduated from BYU. It's been a lot of places: Utah, Idaho, Washington, New Mexico, Kansas, Ohio, Nauvoo, and Nevada. It's been a good car mostly, but now that it has 227,000 miles on it...it was time to move on.
