Hello everyone! Sorry I have missed the last few weeks. General conference interrupted my usual blogging time, and then last week I was traveling on Sunday and it just slipped my mind when I got back. But, to make up for it I have a great picture of Brooke and Foxy! Things will be a little abbreviated this week as there are a lot of pictures to get through!
Jelly is growing up wonderfully! She's a great kitty, and she sure loves our family. A few weeks ago she got her very own shoe box, and has turned it into her new room! Brooke enjoyed closing her in too!
And here's another one of her sitting on the couch with the family!
On Saturday morning (Sept 30) Monica made cinnamon rolls as it's our conference tradition. Brooke was very excited and watched them a whole bunch while they were in the oven.
Brooke also passed the long wait for cinnamon rolls by sweeping up the floor! What a helper.
Conference was great, and Brooke was mostly good during it, so we were able to listen pretty well! It's great to get to hear from the leaders of the church every few months!
Brooke loves to get wrapped up in blankets. This time the blanket had "tasty" tassels on it.
On Tuesday (Oct 3) Monica and Brooke headed out to Utah and left me at home to work. Jelly would miss having people at home and when I got home from work she'd follow me around. She got very lonely being home all day by herself! Poor thing.
On Wednesday I had a dentist appointment, and the office was decorated for Halloween. I thought this decoration in particular was interesting for a dentist office. Those are not the best looking teeth or gums I have ever seen...
On Friday afternoon I flew out to join Monica and Brooke for the weekend. I got lucky and got the exit row seat that didn't have another seat in front of it! Needless to say it was one of the most comfortable plane flights I have had.
Friday night we went to the BYU football game with Monica's parents! It was so much fun to be back at a football game and on campus! I even got a Brat-tail, which is a foot long Bratwurst on a maple bar. It was very good, and I'm definitely glad we made it out.
On Saturday we took Brooke over to see campus. She really liked seeing the cougars in the entrance to the WILK! We had a lot of fun exploring campus, but sadly they didn't have the BYU shirt with the baby cougar on it that Brooke really wanted... :(
On Sunday morning we went over to see the Provo City Center Temple! Appropriately, we found a praying mantis right by the gate! He appeared to be having a great sabbath!
And here we are with the temple. It was very windy, I don't normally do my hair like that...
After church we went up to see my family for a few hours before I headed back to the airport. It was great to see my family too!
On Monday morning I woke up to this!!!
So I got home just in time. It snowed for most of Monday, but never too hard, and the roads never got bad, so that was good.
Jelly continues to try to take over Brookes toys one by one. If Brooke leaves something out there's a pretty good chance that Jelly will play with it. Recently Jelly has started to have to fight for territory against her fiercest foes, such as Foxy!
This past Thursday was Brooke's final swim lesson!! :( So sad. We had a lot of fun taking Brooke to the pool, and it was great for her to get to play with Eden too. We also got surprised with the DeFriezes having a swim lesson at the same time in the same pool, so it was a lot of fun to go and see everyone! We're thinking we may try to start going swimming more often because Brooke really likes it and we've had so much fun together.
The snow may have melted, but the cold has stayed. It's been nice, and fall is definitely here. This of course means we must dress warm!
Yesterday I raked up all the leaves into a big pile to play in. I tossed Brooke into the middle and she was NOT happy! It was much better when I jumped in and she could just sit on me!
Monica of course had to hop in and let the new baby play as well. Brooke was willing to join in then too.
Last night we had Pizza for dinner, and we also got cheese bread with sauce. Brooke enjoyed it so much she had to lick her sauce off her plate! It was a pretty clean process as you may have noticed. She also has been wearing those tiger ears for the past 2 days....
Today in church we talked a lot about temple attendance. It is so great to have a temple close by so that we can attend. There are so many great blessings that come from the temple. It brings a peace to life that cannot be found anywhere else. I encourage everyone to go, or to prepare themselves to be able to go to the temple!
I think that's all I've got for this week(s)! Thanks for stopping by!
