Big bad October

We had a very fun and exciting October, but I didn't blog about any of it. So, here are some of the highlights of the month:

At the beginning of the month my sisters came for a visit. Lauryn really really loves her cousins and was on cloud nine while they were staying with us. We went to the zoo and swimming and played while they were here.
We made some Halloween cookies to send to Aunt Kalo and Uncle Shiblon on their missions.


She decorated this cookie all by herself. I think it has about half a bottle of sprinkles on it.

Lauryn turned 2!! Her cousins Paige, Noah, and Tate came over to celebrate. She was so excited about it. The first thing she said to me when she woke up on her birthday was "Where's my cake?"

Can you believe I made this cake all by myself. It turned out better than I thought it was going to!

We found out we are having another girl!!

We went to Pumpkinland and carved the pumpkin we picked out.


We celebrated Halloween. Grandma Mary and Grandpa Hank came to visit for the weekend. During the day Lauryn and I met them at Gardner Village. Lauryn wore her costume and we looked around at the shops and very cute decorations. That night we went with my brother Shane's family to their ward party and trunk or treat. Lauryn did so good trick or treating this year, except she always went for the suckers instead of the chocolate, silly girl!

Happy BIrthday Lauryn!!! She is such a beautiful little girl, look at all the hair she has now too! What I would do for that skin:) She is just gorgeous! Way to go on the cake, and also, I know what you mean about picking suckers over chocolate, all the good chocolate was gone halloween night, because there wasn't very much of it! Which I guess is a good thing, because my body is exploding. Anyways, glad you are having fun, I really want to make a trip to Utah before I have this baby! also, my sister bryn is having identical twin girls, crazy, everyone i know is having girls!

Lauryn's costume was SO cute! Holy mackerel. Perfect! Great job on the cake. We just may copy you for Dan's birthday next month. He loves Mickey or "clubhouse" as he calls him.
