Wednesday Night

Above: Lainee watches Mom make Pumpkin cookies... Later, Mom decides nutmeg is disgusting, thus, so are these cookies. (Makes better ones later).

Below: Katie guts and carves pumpkin, salts and bakes seeds all by herself while Garen and Lainee snuggle on the couch. Then we all go outside to look at our jack-o-lantern all lit up!

Baby It's Cold Outside

It is getting very chilly in Rexburg.This is Lainee asleep in the stroller after one of our morning walks.

This is Lainee watching the computer (probably The Office of something) with her Daddy.

Sugar cookies are one of the few things I make very well. So last week I made some and some frosting, then decorated them all cute for the girls I visit teach and their families. And of course kept a bunch for Garen and myself =)

Here is one of the many attempts we have made to get a cute video of Lainee. Her face always just goes into a blank stare when she sees the camra. Also I sound like an idiot in the backgound trying to get her to smile or talk to me. Oh well. One of these days we'll take her somewhere and tape her doing something really cute. Hopefully. Anyway this one's boring but here it is.

Here is Lainee in the dress I made with a bow I made and some cute boots and ruffly-bum tights. Ready for church. The dress is actually longer than it looks but of course we had to bunch it so she could sit in the bumbo while I got ready.

Last weekend Lainee and I went and spent time with the primary class doing service, went to enrichment, Chrissy's baby shower (Chrissy has a cute baby bump), and then made pumpkin cake for Garen's work party that night. It was a busy Saturday.

This is Lainee just this morning. For some reason, when she wakes up in the morning she is super giddy and excited!
She is wearing one of her new outfits. Garen let me go shopping for her the other day because temperatures have dropped around here lately and she needed long sleeves and jackets, etc. We just happened to already have this headband and it matches perfectly! She also got some new dresses for Sunday, which I will post pictures of later.

The End of Summer

Well, it stayed warm through the 8th of October and that's gotta be some kind of record for this area, but as of the last few days it has been cold and wet.

This intense-ness has occupied alot of our time lately. Garen and I watched 3 seasons of Prison Break in less than 3 weeks. Pathetic, I know but it's so hard to stop!

I'm re-reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows because......

.....The 1st part of the movie comes to theaters November 1, 2010!!!

Garen's been hunting lately because that's just what he does, and he got us a whitetail deer doe the other day with his bow and arrow. Sweet dude.

I've been walking every morning with Lainee in the stroller and am fitting back into all my jeans. Good. I still have belly squish and about 8 pounds that won't go anywhere. I've been stuck there since about 3 weeks after the baby came. Ugh. But I'm going to start doing some gymnastics again which will take a while but hopefully it will help:)

Well I actually got on here to post a video of Lainee sitting in the Bumbo and doing some cool baby tricks. My mother ordered me to do so because she lives so far away and it's not fair that they don't get to see her. Anyway, my sweet hubby doesn't know where the cord to the video camra is so maybe later. Here are a few more recent pictures of her though. She is now over 2 months old.

She and her dad wore matching outfits the other day and didn't even plan it!

Garen and I are trying to get on a better schedule for Lainee so she will sleep better at night. Lately, her sleep habits have us up until after midnight.

This is our awesome kid sleeping is her CRIB! Woo hoo.
