Park and dinner





Today we had Lynsey, Tj, Tallie, and Chloe over. We went on a walk trading off pushing strollers and riding long boards and then played at the park. Tj and Ian even pushed strollers while long boarding. Then we all had dinner at our apartment. We made a roast for the first time and it turned out great. Then Kyle, Megan, and their daughter, Hallie came over and all the adults played a way fun game called Quelf. I think everyone should own this game, pretty much one of the funniest games ever! We had peach crisp while all the kids ran crazy. It was a really good night!

Our sweetheart!





Just a couple pictures of Jade outside our new apartment, playing peak a boo under the chair, and trying on her lamb halloween costume.

More Pumpkin Patch



Pumpkin Patch





Today, October 20, 2008, we went to the pumpkin patch in Springville, Ut. We went with my sister Lynsey, her husband, TJ, and their girls, Tallie, and Chloe. It was cute to see the girls picking out their pumpkins and to see Jade with them.

Bridal Falls





Today, October 13, 2008, we went to Bridal Falls in Provo Canyon. It was so pretty on the walk up there, with all the leaves changing colors. The falls were pretty too. It was way cold, and this is only the very beginning of winter, Yikes!

My mission companion and ward mission leader


Sunday, October 12, 2008, I went to sacrament meeting Salt Lake. Just I went because the night before Jade had a really bad night and none of us got any sleep. Jade finally fell asleep at 3am and I didn't want to wake her up at 7:15 to go to Salt Lake. So Ian stayed home with her. I went because one of my best mission companions, Sara Anne (McDonald) Stout, her son was getting blessed. It is her second child, both boys. It was fun to see her and her new baby, well her whole family. Also Johnny Newcomb was in town from Greece, New York. He was my ward mission leader in the singles branch where Sara Anne and I served in Brighton for nine months. It was good to see him, awe mission memories!:)

Brandon Moore's wedding reception


Friday we went to Brandon Moore's wedding reception in Salt Lake. He was Ian's MTC companion. Ladd and Katie were there also. We went to Ladd's house after and hung out for a bit. Ian trained Ladd on his mission and they very good friends.

update on the last few weeks Sept.26, - Oct 13

Late Friday night, Sept. 26th, Ian's grandma flew Ian home to help clean our old apartment and drive with Jade and I to Utah. I was sooooo happy to see him. He moved up there 3 weeks earlier to start traing in his new job with Verizon Wireless. Jade and I really missed him. That was the longest time we have ever been apart and I hope it never happens again.
My parents drove their truck and huge trailor packed with all our stuff and Ian and I drove in my car with Jade. Jade did amazing on the trip. We drove half way Sat night and the rest of the way Sunday. I was glad my parents were there so we could spend some time with them. I will miss them a lot! We got to our new place and it was a mess. The former tennants did a bad job cleaning or they didn't clean at all. So we had to deep clean everything before we moved in. My mom stayed for a couple of days and helped me unpack the big things and finish cleaning. That was really nice of her. Then a few days after she left my sister Jodi flew in for the weekend and stayed with us. We had a lot of fun, and it was good to see her. It was also Conference weekend and it was really good. So now, Sept. 13, I am finally finishing the last of the unpacking and decorating. I can't wait to be all done so we can just enjoy our new life in Utah. It has been a lot of fun living by Lynsey again. Jade also loves playing with her cousins and now she gets to do it often.

Sept. 27, 2008 - Jade's first taste of chocolate!



Ian gave Jade his empty chocolate wrapper to play with and there was a little melted chocolate still on it. She tasted that and went crazy licking it. She couldn't get enough and loved it. I was trying to keep it away from here for as long as I could. No need for her to start early and become obsessed with it like her mom is! I must admit, she looked so cute with it all over her face!
