Fall Festivities

First things first. Thomas got accepted into the
Physician Assistant program at
A.T. Still University!
WOOHOO!! Arizona here we come!!!!



We kick started our fall festivities with a trip down south
to St. George to watch Kody Thurston run in the marathon
(he's in the ten year club, he can show you all his medals)

I also got to watch my best friend Natalie cross
the finish line - she did amazing for her first time!
(sorry no picture)

I was feeling very crafty once fall season started
so I decided to make an autumn wreath to hang on
our front door. It was fun buying all the different
pieces and putting it together :) I think it turned out cute

On October 16th, Lindsay, Eric, Emma and I took a road trip
up to Rexburg, Idaho to watch Tanner play in one of his
football games. It was such a blast and he played awesome!
After the game we hit up this awesome
Mexican restaurant. It was delicious

Then, less than a week later my parents came up to
Provo for my mom's birthday (she turned 39)
We celebrated her b-day at a Thai restaurant in Salt Lake

This is our 'Heidi' pose :)
My parents enjoyed a rainy weekend with us
(complete with a BYU game)
and then headed back to AZ on Sunday.
I love having family around :)

The next weekend was Halloween!
I got so excited about making Emma's costume
that I made it at the beginning of October.

If you do the math, by the end of October she was
a tad bit bigger than at the beginning of the month.
So, unfortunately her costume was too small!
But she wore it anyways and she was the cutest
Little Red Riding Hood I've ever seen :)
She was so entertained with her little basket.
It was in her mouth almost the whole night!
We went to our ward Halloween party and we
dressed up as little red riding hood's parents. . .
I attempted to win the doughnut eating contest but I utterly
failed coming in last place - half of it ended up on the floor
Emma had a long night and crashed on our way home.
It was probably from all the candy she ate
On the 26th Emma turned 6 months old!
Weight: 16 lbs 13 oz
Height: 26 in

And finally, today we went to the BYU game
against UNLV. But we didn't just 'go to the game'
We got to sit in box seats thanks to
our friends Ben & Lauren!

Dear mommy



Dear mommy,


I'm already over five months old now, can you believe it??
I've been really busy growing up and learning
how to do lots of things.
Look at all the stuff I can do:

1. I grab anything and everything
within my reach, especially your
hair when you leave it down

2. I started eating rice cereal.
It's really yummy when I actually
swallow it, but it's fun to spit it out too


3. If I try really hard I can roll from
my back to my tummy!
(I've already mastered rolling from my
tummy to my back, piece of cake)

4. I LOVE my new big girl bathtub
I cry every time you take me out

5. Now I can grab my feet when I'm
laying down. But don't worry,
I haven't figured out how to stick
them in my mouth yet

6. I'm really good at bouncing
up and down in my bouncy toy!


7. I'm learning how to sit up all by
myself (but I still need some
help so I don't topple over)

8. I laugh at all your funny faces and
now I can laugh when you tickle me :)

9. And I love to read my books. . .
well, I love to PLAY with my books
while you read them to me!


It's so fun learning all these new things
but I promise I won't grow up too fast :)

Love, Emma
