Ahhh Fall

Like many other kids out there, Roxey has been suffering through a nasty cold. To top things off she is also cutting her top teeth. Last Monday was a particularly bad day, and as always it makes me sad to see my little one miserable, so I figured we needed to get out. My initial plan for Family Home Evening was to walk around the Bountiful Temple and then to show Roxey the beautiful fall leaves in a ravine across the street. Well, once we began to walk down there she just lit up, so instead we took her on her first hike in that canyon and she LOVED it! I was so pleased that it cheered her up, but it also made me hopeful that we will always enjoy hiking together as a family inasmuch as it is one of my all time favorite things to do, especially in the fall.

Also, we recently had our ward Halloween Trunk or Treat. Jordan and I were put in charge of some games for the Primary kids where we had a lot of fun with the kiddies and then we got to hand out candy from our car trunk. If only this took the place of trick or treating. I hate that for hours on end you just have to sit around and get off your keester every time the doorbell rings.

Oh well, HaPpY hAlLoWeEn everyone!

We found this costume in our bin from Jord's spook alley two years ago. For fun I threw it on Roxey and she got a kick out of it. At one point the head fell over her eyes which made for this silly photo.

Reality Check

Well, with the weather changing and a family photo coming up, I was forced to bring out my winter wardrobe. You know the one that I thought just because my summer clothes didn't fit me, it would be a different story once winter rolled around again. I was hoping to have lost all the baby weight, but alas I have not, and I am now coming to grips with it and therefore decided to clean out my closet. I should have taken a before and after picture, but instead this photo is simply of what I can't fit into. Pretty sad. Now at least when I walk into my closet I will just be depressed about the lack of clothes and not the fact that I couldn't fit into 3/4 of what was in there.

Another reality check was when we took Roxey in for her 9 month check up and the doctor said the next time we would be in was when she was one! What?! I am still in shock. She is growing up so fast.

Here she is at 9 months old.

She loves her bath time!

She reaches for her stash of cheerios the second I sit her in her chair.

Jordan loves to style her hair and Roxey is quite fond of it too.

Myth Buster: There's no such thing as monsters under the bed.

Roxey's infatuated with balloons. She reaches for them at every store.

This picture was to commemorate Roxey sleeping through the night, yeah, that didn't last long. She picks and chooses when she wants to now.

Jordan's brother Todd returned from Hondurus.

Roxey was up for the party even though he came home at 11:30 p.m.
