Mommy play time adventure

On Monday, a group of us all carpooled up to Gardner Village with our babies. In one car we had three babies in the back and two of the moms in the front. I wish I would have gotten a picture of all of us and our babies. There were 7 of us, and then our babies. I bet we looked pretty funny all walking around up there. We had alot of fun and it sure beat sitting alone in our little crammed, cave-like apartments. We love getting out of the house. It was fun to eat lunch at a little bakery and then look at all the cute witches and the little stores. I could have spent a long time looking in those little shops. I'm seriously considering going up again in the next little bit. Thanks girls for the outing and for your friendship! It's so nice that we all completely understand and are in the same stage of life: school, small apartments, babies, busy hubbys....

When I needed something chocolate

The last couple days I've been craving chocolate. Really bad. I love chocolate and love that it doesn't give me heartburn anymore, like it did when I was pregnant. That was the worst. Somehow, we have run out of chocolate in the house. So, I've turned to the closest things I could find in my house- thank you Nesquik and Nutella! The Nutella is now halfway gone.

First little family trip. Arches!

Last week Casey decided we needed to go to Moab and hike to Delicate Arch. I was kinda iffy about going. We would only be there Saturday, hike the arch, then drive back home and it's 3 hours away. It seemed like a long way for such a small thing. Plus, he really wanted to take Jocelyn and I was worried she would cry in the car and be onery. My worrying was all in vain. We went and Jocelyn was so happy the whole time. Seriously, she only cried for like 45 minutes on the drive home and that was all. She's an amazing baby. I'm one lucky momma. Casey planned the entire trip, even what I wore. He's so funny. He really wanted me to wear shorts and a hat. Weird, but I went along with it for him. We had so much fun together on our little adventure that we are hoping to go back in the next couple months! There is so much to do there and I definitely recommend going if you haven't gone or it's been awhile since you've been. We were both tired after hiking arches though so we just drove around to all of the lookouts instead of doing more hikes.

Look how big it is- we're just little tiny people by it! It's pretty amazing.

Casey spoiled me and we went out to eat for breakfast and lunch! I love going out to eat even if it is just Denny's and Pizza Hut. We really liked Denny's mostly for the memories (it's not actually that good) but Pizza Hut was kinda a disappointment for how much we paid (but I do love stuffed crust).

She got hat hair. :)

I'm in love with baby halloween costumes!

On Friday we went to the ward chili cook off. I had to convince Casey to go and he ended up having a great time. ha! It was lots of fun to be with all of the great couples in the ward and we got to try some yummy chili. I've never made chili before so now I know of some good recipes that I need to get and try. One of my favorites had butternut squash and craisins in it- pretty strange huh? It was soo good though. We tried to get a picture of all the babies that were dressed up in their adorable Halloween costumes. Jocelyn had 3 costumes to choose from. (I just kept finding more cute ones!) I love how girly this flower costume is. Supposedly I'm taking the other 2 costumes back. hmm... we still have 2 parties to go to! ;)

Trying to get a picture of 10 babies is very hard but look at those cute costumes!

The only picture I got of all 10

Yay! Our cute family.

Four Eyes

Last night for FHE we went up to my parent's house to clean glasses. My brother, Ben, for his eagle project is collecting used glasses that will be sent to Mexico with a group of eye doctors for people who can't afford them. It was fun. I love trying on things- glasses, hats, shoes, and stuff like that, so I had to try on all the funny glasses. We got some pretty cool ones. Take a look.

Little Granny

We found these little tiny ones. She hated me putting them on her. I thought it was way funny. The first time I put them on she started crying. This is the second time. Right after I got the picture, she started crying again.
