Sour Puss

Grace is very sensitive to any sourness in the fruit she eats and makes this hilarious face almost every time she takes a bite. It is very entertaining!!

Two peas in a pod

Grace is always making us laugh, she is growing up at what seems like lightning speed and we are loving every minute. She lights up when Dave or I walk into the room and does a little "happy wiggle" on the floor. Mostly she sure loves her daddy. He knows just how to make her laugh and Grace is always fascinated with everything Dave does. In the morning when I get her out of bed and bring her into my room to eat she never fails to look around for Dave. When he is asleep she still smiles at him and pats his arm and when he is gone she will not eat until she is sure she has looked everywhere for him. These two are so cute together and Dave already is like Steve Martin in "Father of the Bride." I love my two dimple twins.





That last one is on Grace's latest funny face, her crooked lips :)

A PreHalloween Weekend

This last weekend was Halloween-tastic! Friday night us girls (and cute George!) attended Witches night out at Gardner Village and had a great time. We ate at Archibalds then walked around the cutesy stores. I have never seen so much costume creativity at one time! It was so fun to look around and see all the different witch outfits. The highlight must have been the man dressed up in the dress, wig and witch hat...I guess he didn't want to miss out on all the fun. At the end of the evening we made a stop at the fudge shop to pick out the tastiest desserts.



Then on Saturday night we had our ward trunk or treat where we ate yummy soup and scored on some candy with Grace. Grace was dressed as a strawberry (thanks to Jen!) so Dave and I thought it would be fitting for us to dress up as farmers. Grace was so cute, she just loved all the people in their costumes. She kept laughing at everyone and ended the night totally exhausted, but a trooper throughout the evening.



Finally we ended the weekend with a ghoulish dinner at the Swanson's house. We ate monster toes, mummies, bone chillin' breadsticks, rat cheese, hemorrhoid dip, witches brooms and much more tasty treats. We also did bobbing for apples and some pumpkin carving, well actually I didn't, I just watched, but it was still fun! It was so fun to get together and do a little Halloween celebrating because I just love this holiday!!

Fall Fun and Weezer

Yesterday was a great day! Grace and I headed up Little Cottonwood Canyon with Jen, Sam, Sally, Laurie, George and Hailey for lunch. We had fun taking Autumn pictures among the trees, drinking hot chocolate and just spending time in the outdoors before it gets too cold. We have had such an influx of kids in Dave's family over the last couple of years and I am loving watching them all grow up together! Here are a few pictures.








Then last night Dave and I went to the Weezer concert. Holy cow we had a fun time! I think one of the reasons Dave and I fell in love with each other was because of our mutual love of music and we have been sad not to be able to attend as many concerts as we would like in the last couple of years. So when we found out that Weezer was coming to town we could not pass up the opportunity. Grace was left in good hands with her Grammy and we headed to the show to meet up with Andy and Emily, Joe and Emily, Brittany and Sean and Nick and Rick. Angels and Airwaves was one of the opening bands and I have to admit that I was happy to see them leave the stage. Weezer opened with "My Name is Jonas" and continued on with their best hits and songs from The Red Album. We knew it was going to be a great show from the moment they pulled out the mini trampoline and came out on stage in white jumpsuits. By the end our legs were weak from standing for so long, but it was well worth it and I loved every minute.






Oh yes and a weight update for Grace from her 6th month appointment last Friday. She is now 18lbs 8oz and 27.6inches long. She is healthy and rolling around the whole house right now, so I better go get her!
