December Update

So I haven't been good at updating sorry, but this is what happened during the crazy month of December...

First, Graduation
Blake finished up finals and graduated! YAY! Jaylee and I are so proud.

Second, Moving
We packed up and moved from Spokane back to Utah into my parents basement. It was sad to leave, we had so many special friends that we grew so close to and will never forget.
Oh and special thanks to Blake's mom and dad and the church members there who helped us pack up and load all of our stuff!

Third, Christmas
It was so fun having Jaylee with us this Christmas. She was much more interested in the bows and wrapping paper than any of her cool toys.








I finally got my Kitchen Aid that I have been dreaming about for years! YAY!






We went to see the lights at temple square, it was freezing but fun!



Fourth, The Bar
Blake started studying for the bar 3 days after Christmas so he didn't get much of a break, dang! I will be happy when February is over and he isn't as stressed. Although he is still thinking about doing another year of school (he is crazy!)

Baby Pictures

I was going through some of our pictures and came across baby pictures of me and Blake, so I decided to compare them to Jaylee's pictures now. I dunno about you, but I think that Jaylee and Blake's baby picture look almost identical! They have the same pose and everything!

It's great to be a kid!

Jaylee and I were able to go to Disney on Ice with our good friends Rach, Ava, and little Aurie and we had a blast. I have to say that when I heard it was coming to Spokane I wanted to go more for me than for Jaylee. I went last year with my mom and Lacey and we loved it. There is something about Disney that brings out the inner kid in me and I love it.
When we got there it had just started and it was really loud and poor Jaylee started shaking all over. She started crying until I put her binky in and sat down. After that she seemed intrigued with all the lights and characters moving. She fell asleep in my arms during the Princess part when they played all the theme songs until after intermission when Mickey and friends popped out and startled her, but overall she seemed to enjoy the show.

Bowling

We were able to go bowling with our friends last weekend and we had a blast! We decided that bowling can be a frustrating game cuz it's hard to be consistently good without a lot of practice and we were all a bit rusty but we still had a great time.


(Thanks MeiLani for the pictures!)

Jaylee Laughing

Our cute little friend Ava was jumping up and down and Jaylee thought it was hilarious!

Fall Colors

Jaylee and I went on a walk yesterday with our friends MeiLani and Houston, and Rachel, Ava and Aurie. It was such a beautiful day and the fall colors were amazing. We walked from the Gonzaga campus to Riverfront Park and took a lot of pictures on the way. It was so fun, thanks girls (and Houston)!

Halloween Costumes

So this year our bishop suggested that we dress up as our favorite Book of Mormon characters, so I thought about it and came up with this...



Any guesses?????
Maybe more pictures will help...





If you guessed Santa Claus during his fall break you are wrong!

Blake is Lehi, I am the Tree of Life, and Jaylee is the fruit of the tree. I was pretty proud of the costumes because I made them and I think they turned out pretty dang good!

Our friends had pretty amazing costumes too




Our ward had a trunk or treat that we went to and we brought our cool pumpkins to show off and handed out candy. We thought we had plenty of candy but we ended up running out near the end because there were so many kids.




We brought candy there and came home empty handed, that's when we realized that Halloween isn't so great for parents. We can't wait till we can take Jaylee trick or treating so that we can eat her candy!

Pumpkin Carving

I absolutely love carving pumpkins, it has to be one of my favorite things of Halloween. Since this is our last year here in Spokane we went all out in school pride. Go Zags!

Greenbluff pumpkin patch

On Wednesday Jaylee and I went with a bunch of our girl friends to a pumpkin patch in Greenbluff. It was pretty cold but we had a lot of fun! We got to see a pumpkin fired from a cannon which was pretty awesome and enjoyed a huge cinnamon roll with amazing hot chocolate.


Don't you just love the cute pink bear outfit!

No No No

The other day I had Jaylee in her swing and I was talking to her and just happened to say no no no and shake my head and to my surprise she did it right back! I hurried and grabbed the camera and got it on film. (It's dang cute right now but it won't be later!)
