Lake Tahoe

We were able to chaperone some of the Young Women in our church on a trip up to Lake Tahoe. It was a quick trip, but it was lots of fun. We stayed up late watching movies, eating treats, and crafting. The next morning we had waffles, went shopping, and stopped at the lake. It was fun to be able to spend some time away before this crazy Holiday season begins.

Halloween

This Halloween we kept it simple (or in other words, lame). Juliet doesn't really care, and I just didn't want to put in the effort of making a cute Halloween costume this year. I found an awesome Gryffindor shirt - cape included at the store, and so that inspired me to buy character shirts. Juliet was a pink batman and Jake had a darth vader shirt. It was cute! We went to our church chili cook-off and trunk-or-treat. Juliet helped me hand out candy. Then we got a visit from Grandma and Grandpa W. We got to spend some time with them and cousins M and S. We went to the zoo and ate yummy food! On actual Halloween day, we fed the missionaries and a "trick-or-treater" brought us treats! It was a delightful surprise!

I think she likes her costume!

Trix on the floor with your cousin are better than trix in a bowl

Milestones

Juliet has made lots of progress in the last few weeks. It has been so much fun to watch her learn and grow. We love her so much!

Juliet's teeth are now big enough that they are in need of brushing. She only has two teeth, but is this not adorable!? She enjoys brushing her teeth

As soon as we got back from Utah, Juliet just started standing up all on her own. It was so cool! 

Could you just cry?

2.5 weeks after Juliet started standing, she started walking! She is always on the move!

Park City 2016

My parents celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary last month and Juliet and I were able to go and help them celebrate! We were able to spend a week in Park City (which is a tradition we've been doing since we were kids). We went swimming every day, watched movies, participated in cupcake wars, played games, did a puzzle, and ate delicious food. Juliet loved it and I did too! Jake took the responsible way and stayed home to work. We sure missed him. One of my favorite things about the condo in Park City is the giant fire pits that they have outside. One morning I went out and sat at the fire pit and took in all the beauty of the world around me. What a blessing.

Juliet loved looking out the window on the airplane. It kept her quite entertained. 

I love that she has no fear whatsoever.

I love snuggling this little bear

Auntie A and Uncle J. Juliet loved playing with them.

On our last day in Utah we stopped at the pumpkin patch that is across the street from where my parents live. It was fun to see all the pumpkins and scarecrows. Juliet even got to pet a goat which she thought was so funny!

We had tons of fun in Utah and we can't wait to go back again - this time with Jake too!
