Umm...oh yeah

By the way, we're moving!! It has all happened very fast, but we are excited to say we are moving back to Utah next week (hence the moving boxes). Yay!! More info later...

Happy Halloween...BLEH!

...that "bleh" would be the sound of Karly puking. (She hadn't even had one piece of candy yet!) She had been poking at her tummy all afternoon and saying "ouch". It was very sad, but then she would go play and act fine. So, we decided to go ahead and go to the ward "trunk-or-treat", but as I pulled into the church parking lot..."BLEH!" Poor thing--we feel so bad for her, she was sick on Halloween last year, too! Meanwhile, I'm left to wonder why there are so many crevices in car seats...yuck!

We carved pumpkins last night...ok, well I carved a pumpkin and Karly colored on a pumpkin. (Kelly chose to pack.)

She helped me clean out my pumpkin, and even had a little taste.

These were taken this morning, before the tummy-ache.

And these were my amazing Mummy Pizza's that I made for dinner. Karly didn't get to eat any, but Kelly sure seemed to enjoy them. I also made Franken-jello, but they weren't picture worthy (maybe next year).

Chicken Little

Old Navy has the best Halloween costumes!! Shelly and I were looking at them the other day and I was having the hardest time deciding which one to get. The lion, zebra, and monkey were all very cute. And actually, I passed over the chicken thinking it wasn't as great as the others. But that was until I put it on Karly! Shelly and I had to pull out our cell phones and take pictures--she was so cute!! And what was even better is that she knew how cute she was and just stood there with a big grin on her face.

I tried to get some good pictures to share, but Bella thought Karly was a huge stuffed toy to play with and wouldn't leave her alone.

And then...

Mom turned the tables on Bella.

She has a costume too! Our little angel...

This is her "please get this off me" face.

"Please, PLEASE get this off me!"


I'm so lucky!

Do we like "The Office" at our house?

Ummm...yeah! 'Nough said.

(Ok, but actually I do have to say that first: sorry this video is jittering--I was trying not to laugh at my baby's awesome dancing, and second: Karly does not wear the same shirt everyday. She just happens to be wearing the same pink polk-a-dot shirt everytime I film her...or am I the only one that noticed?) :)

Word of the Day

CAPEESH?

Webster's New Millenium Dictionary of English states the definition as, "do you understand?" Quite fitting for a toddler learning to express herself, right?! Our only problem is that I think Karly thinks it means cup...oh well, it's still cute.

Family Home Evening

Last night for FHE we decided to decorate our ugly, cinder-block fence with some sidewalk chalk. It started out with a purpose...Dad was telling Karly about Noah's Ark (see his fabulous picture below). But, since she has about a 30 second attention span, the lesson consisted of "see the boat?" and "see the rainbow?" At least we can say we tried, right?! Then we had fun adding some Halloween spice to our drab backyard!

Karly adding her own embelishments to her Dad's drawing of a dog...a Halloween dog?

Wooo..ooo....ooo, scary ghost!

Bella drew this amazing black cat, and even signed it.
