Nursery? No no no no no

18 months is a great time of life. It is at this time that adults can once again enjoy spiritual messages from Sunday school lessons. No longer are we roaming the halls chasing our little sweetheart. I will admit though, I do like roaming the halls but it was pretty nice being able to attend Sunday school. Today was Brindi's first day to attend nursery by herself. This week she has also learned to say NO and does to everything we say to her, even nursery until we said the magic word...toys. She is such a cute girl. Plus, no one had to come get us today, so we assume she did well. No crying or anything.

Story Time

Brindi loves us reading to her but every once in a while she likes to hear stories from her bear. She is such a cute girl.

The "Good" Food Storage

Who needs the wheat when you have the good stuff in your food storage? You can't go wrong with canned candy:) I love my wife!

Halloween Week 2009

Brindi and Dad were able to go to the ward Trunk or Treat last week. Brindi looked adorable and as she walked her belly would sway from side to side which made everyone think she was Sid the Sloath from ice age.

Handfuls of Candy:)

We carved our pumpkins for family night, but all Brindi wanted to do was play with the knife. She DID NOT like the pumpkin guts at all!

Brindi getting ready to go. She loves to try on Joe's and mine shoes.

Dad and Brindi heading out to meet all the neighbors and to get some candy. Brindi didn't want to put on her costume, but after the first house she got the idea and instead of us dragging her around she was literally dragging us house to house...As soon as she got her candy she would wave bye and start pulling us along. Brindi and her friend Adelynn getting ready to trick or treat at some more houses!

We went to the store and the cashier gave Brindi a sucker...She's just saving a little for later, I guess.

We went to a Mystery Dinner. Joe was "Mr. Fabulous" and I was "Blue Blaze". It was a lot of fun...It was news to me though when I found out I was the Murder, but it was no surprise to find out that Joe won "best performance"...he was hilarious...I guess it wasn't out of his character to be constantly fabulous.

Brindi eating an apple on a stick...she loved it...and I loved it too, because I ate all the carmel, chocolate, and nuts off it and she didn't even know it(hehe)

We finally got a day of sunshine. Brindi had a blast trying to help Joe mow up all the leaves.

Don't hang up...da da da...don't hang up....

For class last week, we did a phone-a-thon for an organization called Youth in Need. Well since I missed they sent a list of names to me and I had to call them and thank them for donating to Youth in Need...simple right....WRONG!!!! You would think I had the swine flu or something...it was like I was Dennis the Menace's mother, on the movie, when they are trying to find a babysitter and pretty much everyone hangs up on her. All I could think about was the song they play during that part that goes something like this..."don't hang up da da da da...don't hang up". Geeze, I wasn't even asking for money people!!! I just wanted to say THANK YOU! Note to self...NEVER hang up on someone...so RUDE!

Utah Conference

We had a full fun week in Utah this last week. Joe had a conference in Salt Lake so Brindi and I tagged along. We had so much fun we almost decided to stay until Christmas...but 9 weeks was just a little to long to be away from Joe :). We had a great week going, going, going! We got to see almost all of Joe's family, spent time with Brennon and Trista at BYU, saw my friend Aubrey from SVU, went to Gardner Village to see the witches, played lots of games, ate way to much yummy food, and enjoyed the Utah fall weather! For the first time Brindi didn't want us every second and even Dad came second to Grandma and Grandpa!

Thanks to Uncle Jonathan, Brindi was always able to find a Dr. Pepper to drink...no matter how early.

Note to parents...If you want this on a plan ride...make sure to have 1. a computer, 2. Toy Story, and 3. a snack

Dax and Brindi...about two seconds later, she almost pushed him off.

Grandpa had the job of keeping Brindi, Kadee, and Easton occupied while we played games...It worked like a charm.

Brindi adored her Grandma and loved riding with Grandpa on the 4-wheeler.

Having fun with the cousins at Gardner Village.

Playing with Dad at Oak City Canyon.

We woke Brindi up to take fall pictures...and this is what we got. One grouchy girl, who didn't take one good fall picture!

Chelsea, Jon and Easton

Robert, Kari, and Dax

Turning on the Heat

Okay so its not that cold yet, but we did turn on our heat this morning. The weather has changed and there is a little nip in the air. Fall is on its way, we hope. The rest of the pictures are just some cute shots of Brindi.
We love this girl. So cute!

Thanks Grammy for our Halloween Package, especially the Jerky:)

Time for Prayer. She also tries to close her eyes by rolling back.

Spaghetti Night

Just hanging out with Dad.
