October: Cedar Breaks, the Livestock Fesitval, and Halloween

December's craziness is already past for me. It started with all the normal stuff plus the Relief Society dinner, which I sang in a duet for, then our Stake's Creche fesitval, which our chior sang at, then the ward party, which I took rolls for and helped clean up, a friend's son wedding, for which I helped set up and clean up the reception, and the choir Christmas program in sacrament meeting, for which I am the choir pianist. It was all fun and I enjoyed it, but Woo Hoo! It's done! Now I get to just enjoy Christmas!


We have some catching up to do! At the beginning of October we drove up to Cedar Breaks. The leaves were changing colors and it was beautiful! We used a disposible camera and only some of the pictures turned out.

Then there's Halloween! Carving pumpkins:

We took these next ones in December :):

This is Daniel with his buddy, Tyson, after taking halloween pictures. It good to have friends who are "bad" like you and didn't take pictures yet, so we did it together:

Joey with Tyson's big sister, Kylie. They really could be twins:

The day before Halloween we went to the Livestock Fesitval, we managed to get the boys cowboy hats, 2 for $20, we bargained!

 And everything else:

He's a puppy dog! 

 Joey started giving Daniel rides on his bike.

We were given this couch and the boys love to jump on it. Thank goodness we were given a new couch and this one is history! The new couch is much prettier, and bigger.

For Thanksgiving we went to Roosevelt, and stayed with my grandparents. After coming home a lady in my ward sat next to me in Relief Society and after asking me where we went for Turkey day we figured out that she was one of my mom's high school buddies. It seems to be a small world when your from a small town, hehe :). 

The Type 3 flag

Background: we have this book, by Carol Tuttle, that tells you about the 4 different types of personalities (or energy types). Nate, Daniel, and I, and like half of my family are all Type 3.

In our office, we have hung some flags we have. Nate was sitting on the couch with Joey and telling him the name of each flag. He pointed to one and Joey told him that it was the New Mexican flag. Nate pointed to another and told Joey that it was the England flag. Then he pointed to another and said, "this is the Taiwan flag". Then Nate pointed to the Texas flag and said "what's this one?". Joey's response: "The Tai Three flag!"

Hehe :)

Daniel's first words

Daniel mostly babbles, but we can definitely tell that he knows what things are called and tries to say the word. Recently he has said, in order of appearance:

Doctor (because we were singing "put the lime in the coconut and drink it all up ... say 'doctor', is there something I can take, she said 'doctor!', to relieve this belly ache").
Bubble (more like "bub .... bull")
Look (while pointing)
Bite
Ball

He'll also tell me whole sentences of stuff without me understanding, but it's cute as heck!

We LOVE this boy!
