Dunk

Amelia-Jayne got her first big girl bath in a real tub.  Yup, it was getting so that when I bathed her in the sink, she would barely fit and she could push herself over…plus, when she sat up the water level only covered her little bum cheeks…brrr! 

 

It was practically a swimming pool for her. She seemed to really like her first bath…

until we thought it would be good for her to learn to love the water and dunk her.  The first one didn’t bother her, but the second was a little much.  Anyways, I really want to find a mommy and me swimming class in town, I think she’d love it!  I hope little old Vernal has one!

3 Little Pumpkins…

This year I loved my pumpkins!  Jordan got a few we didn’t end up carving from some roofing customers…but they were pretty on my porch…the cute chunky one is my favorite. ;)

  

  

I wanted to do something different than carve pumpkins this year, so I got the idea for a pumpkin family from “All You” magazine and this is what I came up with…

Happy Autumn from Us!

Black Water

AKA: poopy water, reak-fest, feces where you don’t want it to be…

is in my basement.

  Yup, a sewage drain backed up this week and I found the foul smelling loveliness on my way to the nursery one night.  No problemo though, thanks to a pro neighbor and a call to our insurance… now it’s been gutted, dried, sanitized and looks like this:

        

Not pretty…but definitely no longer a poop fest.

 

The culprit is under this toilet. Dang this drain and sewage line.

Turns out it might actually be a huge blessing, as it pretty much just flooded the part of the basement that we were going to renovate when we had the money anyways…and if the claim goes well and the drain gets roto-rutored alright, it might contribute enough to do some of the renovating we wanted to do anyways!  I might just love the sweeter side of this black water…one day….but probably not today.

Hastings’ Cupcakery…

Look what we made!

We got to do costumes family-style for the first time this year…and what else would our little BabyCakes be besides the most delicious Cupcake ever?!

Naturally, we were the Baker Baby-Makers.

Nani and Poppi sent her cupcake costume and we had most of our costumes on hand.  I just had to make my hat and cover up the Chef Boyardee logo on J’s hat with a cupcake.  It was a really fun Halloween.  We got to go to Salt Lake and Provo for a family trunk-or-treat and fun weekend, then come back late on Monday to pass out candy and visit with friends.  It was pretty much our first “grown up” Halloween.

We got pretty excited thinking about next year when we can take her trick-or-treating (She’ll still be pretty young…we’ll have to go in a big group to feel validated and not seem like those high school seniors that show up with their pillowcases :) But we are not missing it!)

 

Happy Halloween!
