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.

Utah in October

On October 17, we headed up to Utah to see Greg's sister, Malerie. She had just returned home from her mission in Calgary, Canada. Since the whole family was there, we decided to go to Cornbelly's. 

We all got lost in the corn maze, but still had fun!

Greg and Eric played some "Pumpkin" Dodge Ball. 

Emily helped.

It was pretty hot for an October in Utah...and I kept telling Greg to bring long sleeves...

Emily has turned into a little prankster. She kept going around to people and putting rocks in their shoes...even people she didn't know! What a weirdo!

...just to prove to you how tough he is!

Watching people in awe.

This picture is to show you that I am in fact growing. 

On Sunday, October 19 Malerie gave her homecoming talk. Greg and his mom played a great musical number and then we ate some yummy soup for lunch. It was fun to have the family all together again.

Sunday afternoon we left West Jordan and headed to Provo. We wanted to meet Dillon's future wife. Emily was pretty tuckered out.

Ben stole my camera pretty soon after we arrived and thought it would be funny to take pictures of "random groups". He got some good ones. Well, as it turns out...we like Dillon's fiancee pretty well. Especially because her name is Emily!

Cute little Ephraim...although he's not all that little anymore. He's almost a year old! Hi Cheyenne...

To make it even more awesome, our cousin Alan was there. Never a dull moment when he's around. He took a lot of selfies with my camera...

Although we were only in Provo for a little while, it was fun to see three of my siblings! Can't wait to come up again at Thanksgiving! Nice pumpkin, Dillon!

On Monday night we got to be the "Family Night Phantom" and take cookies to someone in our ward. It was fun to make Halloween sugar cookies. Maybe we can make it a tradition.

For the last picture, I thought I'd show you one of Emily's favorite places to play...in the dirt!

Happy Fall!

Here I am with my two "babies". 21 weeks along in this photo...I may be a little bigger now. :)

Sometimes when I think Emily is taking a nap, she is actually playing with her toys in the shower....

or putting on her swimsuit over her clothes (backwards)...

or sitting in her Bumbo chair (yeah, she still fits in it). Does this mean that I'm not a very good mom? She sure makes me laugh though.

Last Saturday we took Emily to a Fall Carnival by Greg's work. It was fun, even though it was super hot. Here is Emily petting the farm animals.

Emily by all of the pumpkins.

Playing in the blow up Halloween house.

Playing on the really scary slide!

And Emily's favorite slide.

Happy Fall!

Then I insisted that we go on this ride before we left. It was really fun, but it was a little embarrassing, my belly is so big I got stuck when the ride stopped!

Yesterday we attended the wedding of two people in our ward. They got married in our bishop's backyard. Emily was so happy she got to play with some of her favorite people.

Here we are with the happy couple. Happy October!
