Some Fun Things This Week...

Brandon and I LOVE this time of year! From October to December, there is always something fun and festive going on! The best part about this time of year is experiencing new things with Irey. Brandon and I have been making some fun family traditions for Irey and our future little ones to enjoy!

There is this house on 1600 north in Orem that sells pumpkins. Since the beginning of the month I have been telling Brandon how cute I thought it was and how excited I was to carve pumpkins with Irey. One night Brandon suggested we finally go get those pumpkins we have been talking about.

We got three. A daddy, a mama, and a baby pumpkin for each of us. It was really cute to see Irey get all excited and try to carry her pumpkin around. We decided that this will be one of our family traditions we will make a big deal about. Get our hot apple cider and take the kids pumpkin picking and then right before Halloween we can all carve them.

Just wait till you see the pumpkin carving party! I am making my whole family get involved!

(she is mad because there were no more fruit snacks! I just love her expressions)

We went out to eat a bunch this week with all the birthday celebrations and keeping Irey entertained is a task. Brandon, who still thinks like a kid (I love it about him, really), got the idea to put all of Irey's fruit snacks on her straw. She thought this was more interesting then throwing them on the floor and picked them off one by one and ate them. She had like 10 in her mouth at once and her cheeks kept getting fuller and fuller. I was worried she was going to choke but was laughing too hard at her fat cheeks! With little trouble at all she ate ever last one and then was mad when they were gone! Props to dad for thinking of creative ways for keeping Miss Piggy busy!

Irey's latest "thing" is grandma Jackie! She is obsessed to say the least. At Luke's party she preferred her to anyone else, even me (tear)! And when we took family pics the next day she would only let grandma hold her. If dad or I took her, she was in a fit, and it would take a lot of distraction to calm her down! She is SUCH a stinker. I love that she loves grandma so much though. It's neat that they have that bond and I know we will look back on those family pics and laugh because she was such a grandma's girl!
