It's the most wonderful time of the year...Fall!!!

There is nothing more fun in the fall than to pile up the leaves and jump in! It was one of few Saturdays that I didn't have hair to do, so we all headed out to do some yard clean-up before the cold. Brielle and I had fun while Jeremy cleaned up after us.

 Brielle loves to jump! Add some leaves and it was even more fun! 

We threw leaves and rolled in them. Burried each other! Great fun!

It was the most perfect fall day!! Too bad it didn't last . I guess that is what they say, All good things must come to an end. Monday we woke up to snow covered leaves. Saturday was the third time we have raked and cleaned up the leaves but I guess the trees aren't done shedding yet. At least we got to have some fun with them before they got soaked! Jumping in leaves...check! Next on the list, decorate for Christmas!! Can't wait! but Jeremy said not yet, so I guess we will have to wait. At least until we cut down our tree at Thanksgiving time.

Play time with Daddy

Play time with Daddy usually always involves the piano. Brielle loves to get on and play around. It is on at least once every day. She dances to the music it plays or just pushes the keys til it drives her mommy crazy.

Brielle is growing up so fast. Someday she will hopefully really be able to play that piano. She looks so much older in these pictures than the little girl I play with all day. And yeah, her hair is finally growing!!! A hairstylist mother's dream is to have a little girl to do her hair! So excited!!!

Too bad Brielle has such sensitive skin. Now that the weather is cold, her face gets so dried out and she breaks out in rashes all around her mouth. I really do wash her face, this is not food you are seeing around her lips. Poor girl! Good thing she loves lotion!

Happy Halloween!

After our rainy Trunk or Treat at the church we headed to the mall to snag some more candy...bad idea!! Long lines and crazy crowds for a measley 3 pieces of candy. Lesson learned- we will never do that again.

Because of the rain Brielle decided she didn't want to be Tinker Bell & instead wanted to be the horse costume her aunty Heather gave her to play in. I was very happy not to have a cold Tink to carry around all night! Brielle loved Halloween! She is already telling me each day what she wants to be for Halloween next year. Maybe she will get into the spirit of Halloween like her parents! Great fun!

A Spooktacular Party!!

This year we have 3 parties we are invited to as well as Halloween with our ward Trunk or Treat. It is a busy couple of weeks, but we are excited to get all dressed up for some fun nights out!

Brielle getting her sparkles on for he Tinker Bell costume.
She isn't quite sure who is behind the camera...daddy or Gus Chickens!

Let me introduce you to Gus Chickens aka Jeremy
If you have seen the SNL skit with Will Ferrell you know the name.
But to everyone else he is the old prospector off Toy Story.

Oh Ricky!!!
I have always wanted to be Lucy & this year I was able to pull it off.
No luck with Jeremy being my Ricky though!

Nanny McPhee & the host of our party, Lanette Turcsanski
Thanks to all the Turcsanski family for hosting such a grand party!
We had a blast!

The little kiddies in their costumes!

Thanksgiving Point with the Girls (& Jonathan)

Cousin & BFF, Michelle & her family came to town last week. We decided to spend our afternoon with her and her kids at Thanksgiving Point. We knew it would be fun for the kids to see the petting zoo they have.

Emery, Jonathan, Bailey & Brielle

Yes, this is the 3rd week Brielle has ridden a pony. She can't get enough of them!
Our cute little cowgirl!

Michelle had to walk around with Emery, which also made her very dizzy!

The wagon ride! They were so excited! Emery didn't want to get off when the ride was over. Poor thing!

Mommy & Brielle!

This turkey was definitely dressed to impress. It kept walking in circles trying to impress us girls!
Looks full & fluffy -ready for Thanksgiving I think!

The horses were the favorite of all the animals. They would eat the corn right out of our hands!
But watch your fingers-they eat those too!

Heather & Jonathan petting the big black horse!

Here piggy piggy!

After looking at all the animals the kids played in the jailhouse.

The girls danced while Jonathan looked out all the windows.

It was such a fun day! We would love to have Michelle live closer so our girls could play together more often. Brielle talks about Bailey and Emery each day! She misses them so much! She'll have to wait til Christmas when they come to visit again. Another reason why we can't wait for Christmas!

Brielle & Elmo

Everyday Brielle and I read books. It is one of her favorite activities, if it doesn't mean nap or bedtime. Every other week we go to the library for the toddler class and exchange our books. When I read to Brielle she usually sits on my lap as we read. This day Brielle decided she was "mommy" and wanted to read to Baby Elmo. It was so cute I had to have her freeze while I grabbed the camera. I love how her lap isn't big enough to hold both Elmo and the book so she uses her legs too. She can't read, but she knows most of the stories good enough that she can retell it in her own words. Today it was Princess and the Frog.

Happy Harvest!

We have been busy doing a lot of fun things this October. Let me catch you up on all the latest events. Last week Brielle and I went with Kim Turcsanski & kids to the Tooele Pumpkin Walk. There were games and other fun things to do for the kids as well as many decorated pumpkins and craft booths. We had a really fun time! Even though Brielle was a little emotional that day as you can see in the picture below.

the Not-so-happy Scarecrow (Brielle) & the pumpkin, Camryn. 

This year the youth in our ward put together a fun Halloween party for the primary. Brielle is one of the only kids in nursery without an older sibling in Primary so we tagged along too. I was planning on Brielle being a black cat this year. Still thinking she is too young to really decide for herself what she wanted to be. Boy was I wrong! when I showed Brielle the picture of the cat costume I was going to try and recreate, she said "No, I don't want to be a kitty. I want to be Tinker Bell for Halloween!" Of course this is all the night before the party so thankfully I was able to use the black pants and shirt I had already bought for her new Tinker Bell/ fairy costume I ran out to get the day of the party. Brielle is growing up so fast. She looks even more grown up in these pictures. Guess my days of deciding her costume is over.

All ready for the party!

This is Tialer (Tyler) with Brielle.

Tialer was also the one who drank Tylenol with Brielle on that horrible day. But they are still great friends!

 Pumpkin Relay game at the party!

After each group finished with the games and activities they met in a classroom for drinks and a movie.

Look at all the cute costumes!
