Happy Halloween!

Bott Halloween

Halloween is much more exciting having a toddler to dress up! Eliza got a lot of use out of her Tinkerbell costume that's for sure. We had yummy stew and all the fixings for dinner with my family. I wasn't feeling so great but realized I hadn't had a picture with Tink yet. So here it is!

Hodgkinson Halloween

Even though I wasn't feeling so great we had a fun time at the Hodgkinson Halloween party! We had yummy soup and of course lots of candy!

Eliza looked so cute walking from the car to the house. I think she looks like she's posing in this picture.

Grandma Wendy the Cat.

The two cutest Tinks!

Eliza wasn't sure how to play the game. All she knew was it involved eating chocolate chips!

And candy...

Eliza loves playing on the stairs. She loves to spin the loose rod. She finds it every time.

Yay for Halloween!

Worth the wait

stranded at my dad's house for 7 hours
i got his ironing done while my house remains a mess
no dinner is prepared
no showers have been taken
but this is worth it

Candy corn cookies

I'm not a fan of candy corns but candy corn cookies on the other hand...

Cold Zoo Day

I definitely do not go out with my friends as much as I thought I would when I became a stay at home mom. I tend to keep myself busy I guess. Today we joined Dawnell and Joshua for a cold day at the zoo. It looked so nice outside but was quite chilly. We saw a few animals and had a great time. Eliza loved all of the animals, especially the birds and monkeys. I loved the baby elephant climbing the hill and the owls. I can't wait to go back. Zoo lights here we come!

PS does anyone know what's up with the giraffe? Neither of us had ever seen it before. Crazy!

PSS are jean jackets still ok? I'm just not sure what to wear with orange pants...

Witch a palooza

Ben was out of town for work so Jess, Eliza and me had a fun girls night out. We went to see the witches at Gardner Village. It was much colder, darker, and busier than we expected. It turned out to be such a fun night. Eliza loved all the kids and the witches. She especially liked the frog in the witches cart and the pumpkin dessert at dinner. I took some pictures at our house before we left. Our little pumpkin family of three is just like us...one tall, one short, and one little baby (or toddler rather). Happy Harvest!

See if you can find one of Eliza's favorite things to do in these pictures... 

Pointing! She loves to point these days. Hopefully she doesn't embarrass herself by pointing at something she shouldn't!

Love you through it

Breast Cancer Awareness month...
You might want to sit down for these.

Bipolar?!

One baby.
Two meals.
Very different temperaments.
I think she misses her Daddy.
And wishes we were in Arizona too.

Baby Book

We got a free baby book coupon from Shutterfly. It expires in a few days so I threw some pictures in of Eliza's first year. Enjoy!

Stinker Tinker

We had a ward Halloween party so Eliza finally got to wear her Tinker Bell costume. She looked so cute and actually liked wearing it. She was spinning around in circles and rolling around on the floor. I can't wait for Halloween!
