The Last Few Weeks

Sorry, I know it's been a while since our last post. We've been keeping busy. Chris is working and doesn't get home till about 6:30 - 7:00pm. When I'm not watching the kids, I'm either out shopping or reading. The Centerville Canyon Ward Relief Society Book Club has been reading the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyers. Surprise, surprise! When I heard that they have a book club, my immediate thought was, "It's Utah. They're probably reading books written by church leaders." Especially, since majority of the members are senior citizens. (The ward boundaries were recently expanded so it would include younger families.) So, I was surprised to learn that they're reading Twilight. A sister who is a fan of the series was nice enough to lend me her copies so I can catch up. I'm enjoying the books so far. I'm currently reading the 2nd book, New Moon.

Kaleigh went Trick or Treating for the first time this Halloween. She went with Esther and Yan. Kaleigh and Esther were fairy princesses and Yan was Prince Charming. Before we left NY my mom bought Kaleigh the fairy costume. She thought it was cute and bought Esther one too. Jacob was a cowboy. He didn't like his cowboy hat at all. Kaleigh had a lot of fun and got too much candy for a 3 year old. Amazingly though, we put the candy away when we got home and she has forgotton about it. We also carved some pumpkins and made some cute Jack O'Lanterns. The house we are currently calling home is located in a cul-de-sac. On Halloween the neighbors lit a few fires in the circle and we roasted hot dogs.








We will be moving into our apartment in West Jordan by the end of this month. So far we've gone furniture hunting 2 times. We said that we were gonna get our furniture from Deseret Industries (DI) but we couldn not resist going to IKEA. We have never been to IKEA before and we love it. They have nice stuff for reason able prices. We already decided to get a couch, entertainment center, bookshelves, Kaleigh's bed and dresser at IKEA. They have a lot of cute stuff in the children's department. We are also really adamant about getting a red couch. We don't know why but we have to get a red couch!!



We saw our first snow in Utah this past Wednesday. The mountains are so beautiful when they're covered with snow! I took some pictures, but they're from the inside of a car while driving, so they don't do the mountains justice.



Also on Wednesday, I noticed that Jacob is finally getting some teeth. He's got 2 teeth coming out on the bottom. Jacob is now 8 months and is becoming a bit of trouble maker. He's cruising and climbing. The other day I turned my back for 2 minutes and he was gone. I found him in the bathroom splashing water in the toilet.

Peace, Out!
