Lella's new adventures!

Lella will be 8 months old on Christmas Day. We can't believe how much she is getting around. She has been crawling for about a month and a half now. And now is pulling herself up on everything. We normally eat most of our meals on the couch and now we cant without her crabbing everything off our plates. I guess it is time to start eating around the table like we should of been all a long.

Last weekend Lella and I went down to Roy to visit my Mom and Dad. It was good to go spend the night and let Lella get to know her grandparents a little more. Saturday morning we met up with some of my friends from high school and had a little shower for Angie who is due to have a baby in about a month. It was good to see them and tell Angie things she might experience having a baby. We sure had a good weekend!

Lella's first Christmas Tree!!

The same weekend as Thanksgiving it is a tradition of ours to go to Star valley and cut down a Christmas tree with Tyrell's family. This year was extra special because we have our little girl to share the fun with. She was such a good sport, like always and enjoyed getting all bundled up and going out in the cold.


I found our tree clear up on this hill. Tyrell made me make sure that it was the one before he hiked up there to get it. You can't just settle for a tree that is close to the road because they are never good. If you want a good one you have to be willing to go hike for it. which is the fun of it. Plus I just think how it is giving my legs a good workout!

This is the result of our searching this year! I love having the tree up and everything decorated because of the feeling it brings into our home. I put everything up as soon as I can so that I can enjoy it as long as possible.

Thanksgiving 2011

Thanksgiving was great this year! We all went up to Preston Idaho to celebrate. Travis, my brother in-law was on call with his job so he wasn't able to leave, so we went to them. They reserved the church and had everything there. Later that evening we went over to the High School and played dodge ball in the big wrestling room and hide and go seek in the gym. We had a lot of fun this year, thanks to the Despains. They put in a lot of time and work to make it so we had fun and it paid off! Thanks so much you guys.
This year I wanted to attempt to make pies. The one I'm holding was a pumpkin cheese cake. I made two of those. I would have to say it was mighty yummy! I also made two banana cream and one chocolate. It was a lot of fun but took time. We will see If I do it again next year. Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving like we did!

Trick or Treat!!

Surprisingly she didn't mind wearing this. She kept it on pretty much the whole time.

Ty's friend said that if Lella came to his house trick or treating then he would give her candy but she had to come by herself so we put her in her seat and put her on his door step, rang the door bell and ran around there house. It was about her bed time so she sat quite and very chill which made it even more funny! They were sure glad to see her.

One night after work I took Lella out next to our house to see if I could get some pictures before all the leaves are gone. This is how it turned out. I should of known. Lella could not stop playing with the leaves around her so I couldn't get her to look up at me. I got one picture out of like the fifteen I took. Hey I'm thankful I got one.

Yummy baking!

Lately Sundays are my only day that I can bake anything. This last time making bread has to be my best bread yet! I think I'm getting better every time. Last time I made it Tyrell went through 3 loaves in less than 2 weeks. I'm finally figuring out how to make it so it's not so hard. Plus having a kitchen aid really helps out a lot. And these cinnamon rolls I have made probably 4 times in the last 2 months. I better be careful my neighbors are going to start expecting them. They are so easy! I tend to over do it with making the same thing to many times. I find a recipe that I like and is simple and I always want to make it. Ty doesn't complain at least I'm baking things for him.
