More soccer 08

Last week was really fun!  We watched more soccer.  

This is a pic of my cute sister, Candice, and Lucy after her soccer game in Logan.  She plays for Utah State.  She had a couple games during the weekend and also had her senior banquet that my mom and I have been to for the last 4 years.  My dad always goes deer hunting during the weekend of her banquet so my mom takes me and Lucy instead.  I can't believe 4 years has gone by already.  We stayed at Hampton Inn and just relaxed all weekend.

Lucy helped herself to the team's powerade.  She loves sweet drinks...  and calls everything coke.  I wonder why.So the pictures didn't come up in order but we went to Jenny's soccer game in St. George the first part of the week.  We drove down Monday and drove home Tuesday evening after the game.  It was a quick trip but it was fun.  We ate so much junk food, including Nielsen's custard both days we were there.  So good.  Then on Thursday she had another game in Bountiful that we went to.  They lost so it was their last game.  Sad to see the season end.  We love going to the games!
Jenny and Jordan took Lucy to the hot tub at the hotel while I checked my email in peace.  Thanks guys and thanks mom for inviting us to come with you.  It was such a fun week!

Gardner Village

I absolutely love Halloween!  I took Lucy to Gardner Village to see all of the fun Halloween things.  It was a perfect day and she loved it!  The funny thing is, is that there were all kinds of witches, cute carved pumpkins, ghosts hanging from trees, and anything else you could imagine and Lucy can't get enough of these random ducks swimming in the pond.  Total Lucy! She also loved this spider and 'punkin'.  I actually loved them too.  I love having a little buddy to hang out with.  She doesn't care what we do just as long as it is outside.

Stretching

Dad is an old man but he swears that stretching every night before going to bed is going to keep him young.  Sometimes Lucy likes to stretch with him but most of the time it ends up like this.  She is so funny!  She is so chill in the morning and throughout most of the day but when 10 o'clock at night hits she thinks it is time to play and she comes alive.  I am kind of the same way but she wears me out and I am tired by the end of the day, but not Lucy.  She thinks the day is just starting and she runs around the house screaming and laughing.  It's really fun trying to get her to sleep at night, I wish someone would invent some childrens Lunesta already!  Ha ha...

Hee Haw Farms

We all went to Hee Haw Farms this last week for a Halloween get together before it gets freezing cold.  I love Halloween time!  It is one of my favorite holidays.  Lucy loved this little train ride and rode on it backwards like this.  Funny!  They had some big slides, kid friendly haunted house, haunted hay ride with creepy dressed up characters chucking candy at your head, corn maze, animals, pumpkin patch, corn box, hot chocolate and a million trillion kids.
Lucy was with Kade playing on one of the slides and I turned my head for not even 10 seconds to get a wristband to go into the corn maze, I turned around and Lucy was no where to be found.  It was the worst feeling I have ever had.  I started to panic and I could feel tears welling up in my eyes.  Every one in my family was looking for her.  I couldn't even tell them what she was wearing because I was so scared.  It was getting dark and I kept thinking someone has taken her or she is lost in the corn maze and scared or she is wandering out in the field of parked/parking cars and she going to get run over.  It was awful.  A feeling I never want to have again.  About 10 minutes later my mom found her at the entrance calling for mommy but she wasn't scared or crying just checking things out.  I was so relieved to see her safe.  I happily let her sleep in my bed, snore in my face, kick me in the back, ask for milk, and helped her find her binkie all night.  Oh wait, I have been doing that for the last month while Dave was out of town and now she won't sleep in her bed.  I am so glad that she was okay.  I would rather have her sleep in my bed than be lost at Hee Haw Farms.  What a nightmare!
We waited for Dave to go through the corn maze... this was post Lucy missing.  I haven't gone through a corn maze in years.  It was fun and as Lucy would say...  Spooky!
Playing in the cornbox.  We couldn't get her out of it.  I bet you can't imagine what came out of her diaper, clothes, and shoes when we got home.  We went to JCW's to eat dinner after.  It was a good night except for the 10 minutes Lucy was gone.  I will never forget this night!

Happy 7th Anniversary

Yep!  We have been married for 7 years.  We were married on October 4th, 2001.  What a great day!  Our anniversary always falls on Conference weekend so it is always fun to go somewhere and listen to conference, it also always seems to be rainy so it is a good excuse to stay in, relax, and spend some time together.  This year we stayed at Castle Creek Inn, a little bed and breakfast place.  On Friday night we hiked up Millcreek canyon (we took Lucy with us) and went to Market Street Grill for dinner.  Then we went back and watched movies in bed by the fire.  We listened to Conference the next day and just hung out.  We went to Provo that night, Dave went to Priesthood conference with my dad and brothers and the girls stayed inside by the fire, watched Ghost, and ordered Brick Oven.  What a good weekend!  I love you EZO!  You are the best husband and dad in the whole wide world!  Thanks for the awesome card and maternity massage gift certificate.  That's right!  We're having another baby!  Yay!

Grandmas house

Dave did 2 more away rotations in the month of September.  He was in Lubbock, TX (Texas Tech) for 2 weeks and then did 2 more weeks in Temple, TX (Texas A&M).  While he was gone we went and stayed at my parents.  There were a couple of days that we were at home and it was so lonely, I am so glad that my family is close.  I don't know what I would have done without them.  I missed Dave so much and am so glad that he is home although I feel like I haven't seen him much since he started a new rotation at Primary's the day after he got home.  Anyway, Lucy loved being at Grandma and Grandpas.  Jenny was also there to play with her.  Cousins also came to visit.  One night everyone came over for a BBQ and Cougar football game.  Sarah was also in town with Kade.  The kids love swimming in the hot tub, especially Lucy!  She was also obsessed with jumping on the trampoline and swinging in their backyard, Duke (the cute doggie next door), watching Nemo, Tarzan, or Toy Story on Aunt Candice's bed, Muppet Babies, McDonald pirate movie on Uncle Sean's bed, and Shrek on Aunt Jenny's bed, water D (I have no idea what this was but she said it constantly), Ew buggies, and otter pops. 
Oh!  She was also obsessed with these darn new little kittens.  I have to admit, they are pretty cute but I am so allergic to them that my eyes would be red and itchy all dang day.  Miserable!  Cute picture though!  
Two peas in a pod.  Kade and Lucy are best buddies!  They used to fight but while they were in town this last month they wouldn't go anywhere without each other.  I wished they lived closer, Arizona is too far away.  They had so much fun together!
It was a fun month!  Thanks for letting us stay at your house.  

Fall hike

Since Dave was gone for a whole long month we basically lived at my parents house and since it was Monday night, as we all know as family night, we decided to go on a hike up to Bridal Veil Falls.  It was such a nice night and the leaves were so pretty.  I love the fall, it is my very favorite season although depressing knowing that winter is just around the corner...  Boo!  As you can see Lucy is on my dads shoulders and Jenny and my mom are walking beside him and I am of course behind them taking this picture.  Duh!
Helping Lucy collect rocks to throw into the stream.  Her favorite part of the whole night.  She likes to throw things behind her instead of forward so I think she hit more people behind her with rocks than the water, Oops.  She still thought it was the best!  You like her new kicks?  I can't figure out how to get this picture to turn.  Sorry!
See her collection of rocks?
Then off to Costco for frozen yogurt.  So delish!

Homecoming

Isn't my little sis, Jenny, so cute?  She was the 2nd attendant for Homecoming royalty.  These are her cute friends.  What a fun time in life.This is such a cute pic!  Lucy loves her Aunt Jenny!  Congrats Jen!
I got Lucy up early (okay, so it was like 9:45 am that I woke her up, she likes to sleep in like her mommy...  I work nights people give me a break!) to go to the Timpview assembly the morning of the big football game.  The assembly reminded me of the good old days at PHS.  Anyway, I thought this picture was funny because she would not let me have that darn bink and she wanted her blanket wrapped around her shoulders for some reason, so I let her walk around like this.  It's not worth the tantrum for all of you moms that have 2 year olds.  I thought it was funny.  She's so cute!  I love you Luly!
The football game was fun and she looked so cute walking out on the field in her darling dress.  Good times!

Soccer, soccer, soccer

We have been to lots and lots of soccer games this last month.  Candice plays for Utah State in Logan and Jenny is a senior at Timpview and plays for their soccer team.  It is always fun to see them play.  Candice threw us a ball at the beginning of one her games, autographed and all, so we took the ball to all of the games and Lucy loved to kick it around.  Maybe she will play soccer one day, she would be good at it!Lucy, Jenny, and Jordan at Candice's game in Logan.  It was hot!  Cute pic.
Eating dinner after.  I love this picture because of her sun kissed cheeks.  Thanks for letting us come to your games.  I love you guys!

State Fair

I took Lucy to the State Fair sometime in September.  Dave was in Texas for the month of September and he took the memory stick and the laptop with him, that's why I am so behind on posting.  Anyway, Lucy loved the fair.  For some reason she loved this goat.  Random!  I thought she would love the horses, cows, or pigs but no...  she loved the goats.  Pretty cute!
She kept laughing at this animal...  whatever it is.
She was fascinated by these bees.  Maybe because "Bee" is her middle name.
She loved the bunnies.  I love the way she tries to imitate them.  I have tried over and over to show her how to wrinkle her nose but she can't do it so she squints her eyes and moves her mouth.  I love it.  It was a fun day.  The caramel apples were the best part!

IV Team Retreat

We had a fun time up Millcreek Canyon sometime back in September.  The leaves were so pretty and the weather was perfect.  These are some of my friends that I work with..  Emelie and Julia,  they are so fun!  I only got a couple of pictures and this was the only cute one that turned out.  I have to admit...  being on the IV team is my very favorite nursing job.  I like the people that I work with and I like poking little kids.  I know it sounds mean but we save lives every single day and it is such a good feeling.  I love it!
