More Fun Times

Just another picture post to give the gist of what we've been up to.

 

Good news! A month or so ago, Lainee decided she was done

with diapers once and for all, so even though she has been

daytime potty trained for a long while, she's been wearing undies to bed!

Anyway one night I went in and was going to wake her up to go potty,

and had to take a picture first because I loved the position she was sleeping in.

 

Lainee thinks it's cool to sleep in a sleeping bag

so one night we decided to ALL sleep on the air matress

in the living room.

Memories... uncomfortable ones, but memories.

 

We brought these old chairs down with us that my mom

was getting rid of, and have been planning to recover and repaint them,

and finally did!

 

I think our swimming season may be coming to an end.

Even though it's still 85 and 90 degrees, all the public pools

and splash pads close sometime in September. Lame.

Our pool is still open but lately the water in it is FREEZING

for some reason!

 

Lainee and I attended a birthday party for Honor,

the little neighbor girl who lives upstairs.

She turned 3 and had a princess party!

 

with lots of friends from the ward...

 

and a castle pinata!

 

One week for play date, it was at Dayna and Harrison's house

and we frosted and decorated Halloween sugar cookies!

Lainee did a great job of sticking candy bones ALL over

her cookies.

 

Lainee got to go to a Halloween costume party just for kids!

Some of the moms in our ward put it on at one of their houses

and it was super cute and fun!

(This is Lainee with the doughnut that she attempted to eat

while it was hanging from a string).

 

Our friends Scott and Janel put on a totally fun halloween party too.

We were Alice in Wonderland characters.

Garen won the "best adult costume" award!

 

All the ladies.

 

All the guys.

 

Garen is out of school between semesters right now

so he's been able to spend alot of time with us girls!

 

This weekend we did some shopping for fall clothes,

saw the mermaid aquarium at Bass Pro Shop,

and hung out at Ceasar's Palace for a bit to look

at the cool ceilings and eat some delicious gelato.

 

This week, we are going to the pumpkin patch/carnival down the road for FHE,

the zoo tomorrow, maybe a movie,

who knows what other fun things,

 

and then heading to WA again for

my brother Jordan and his wife Ariel's

wedding reception!

 

They got married in Raleigh, NC this weekend

and unfortunately we couldn't get all the way over there

but I heard it was fantastic and I can't wait to see them!
