Our Thanksgiving Holiday

We just returned from visiting my family in California and needless to say, I miss them already! We had a great time & we are so truly BLESSED to have such an AMAZING family.

Lucy started off the vacation with a cold so we were worried that she might be a crab but she did very well on the plane. When we landed the people around us kept saying how she was the quietest and most well behaved baby...well I have to brag a little!

When the plane took off she fell asleep and stayed asleep until we landed.

Jess, Lei & Mom made up a fantastic room for us to stay in with gifts included! Thank you Mom & Jess for the adorable pillow & Lei for the cute boots!

We spent Thanksgiving at Grandpa Robert and Bestamores with about 60 people, the biggest Thanksgiving ever! It was so fun to be around all of my family but we were missing a few special people(Scott & Meagan, Deanne & kids and Jimmy...love you guys)


Love my cousins!

Addy looking festive with her Grandma

Lucy and her 2nd cousin Lizzie

Mom & Paul

My wonderful Mom & I

Lucy looking so fancy!

We've just started giving Lucy solid foods, she hasn't particularly enjoyed anything but she liked the mashed potatoes!

Lucy tuckered out from all the excitement

We loved relaxing at home with the fam in front of the fire. I have never seen a cuter bear in my life!



We were able to attend my cousins 'Wedding Feast' while in California. Congratulations David & Erin!

Addy sure loves her Papa

Jess & Addy- love these girls

I love this picture! My two favorite people!

Me and my girl

our little family

Sisters- love you forever Jess!

Cousins!!

It took Addy a while to let Scott hold her but once she did she wanted him to hold both her and Lucy.

Addy walking! When we got there she was walking pretty good but she got better while we were there. It was so awesome to witness!

Daddy and his girls (missing Deanne)

Lucy adores her Daddy and loves to snuggle him!

Lucy was very suspicious of her Papa at first but I think she warmed up to him!

The plane ride home Lucy was, shall I say, 'less' well behaved..lol. I think it was payback for everytime I have been on a plane with a crying baby and thought a rude comment. We were totally those parents who are trying desperately to shush their baby while other passengers stare.

Our Little Girl is 6 Months Old!!

Lucy has been a busy girl this month. She is sitting up by herself, she's not super solid but she's getting there. She likes her tummy time, as soon as we put her on her back she flips over to her tummy to play. She loves toys where she can reach up and grab stuff. She loves putting stuff in her mouth and jibber jabbering. She loves talking especially when Scott & I are trying to talk. She loves interrupting us! Her Daddy is still the apple of her eye, he makes everything fun..even changing her diaper. She loves her Mommy though, especially to snuggle. We love this girl and can't wait to spend the holidays with her!

Here are her stats:

Length- 27 inches ~ 90%
Weight- 15.34 lbs ~ 38%
Head- 15.8 inches - 4%

p.s. The Doctor said that Lucy was "cognitively sharp"...I knew my kid would be smart..lol

Halloween Mania

We had such a fun Halloween. We kicked it off by having lunch with our good friends, the Eby's. Then, Lisa, Brady, Caleb & Colby came over and we braved the cold and rain to trick-or-treat around our cove. Then, Scott, Lucy & I headed down to Provo to have pizza and make caramel apples with the Wilkins. We are SO LUCKY to have such wonderful friends & family.
