Happy Halloween!

Okay, sorry about so many pictures but Davis was so stinking cute in his Lion costume I couldn't stop taking pictures and there were so many cute ones to choose from. Plus, this is mostly for Steve since he was kickin it in Kentucky and didn't get to participate in our Halloween festivities. Davis was so much fun...he caught onto the trick or treating (aka if I go up to people and look cute they give me candy) really quickly. If you said candy, he would run to it as quick as he could (he tripped on his tail several times!)! He liked to take the candy and put it in his bag himself. He really was just as cute as could be.
Who can resist this cute little lion?

Davis and Mom (an orange shirt is about as festive as I get on Halloween!)


Andrew, Madeline and Davis (our favorite neighbors across the street...they came trunk or treating at Grandma and Grandpa Larsen's ward with us)

Davis and Grandma Wright

Davis, Mylee and Tyler had so much fun trick or treating in their neighborhood. They were so cute to wait for him and help him up the stairs and make sure he got candy too. What good cousins.

Mylee and Davis playing in Aunt Stacy's wheelchair (Sheldon pushed her around the neighborhood in so she could trick or treat with the kids so soon after her surgery). Mylee is getting pretty good at navigating the wheelchair all around the house!

Tomorrow is Halloween...


Today I had a terrible realization...tomorrow is Halloween and I have not done one single thing to get ready for Christmas. I have been so distracted by this whole moving to Kentucky thing that I must have completely lost my mind. I like to be completely ready for Christmas by Halloween. Can you believe I haven't even purchased one gift. This is not good. Like I said, I think I have lost my mind.

Gardner Village

We went to Gardner Village with Andrew, Madeline and Isaac a couple of weeks ago. The kids loved having a picnic and seeing the fun witches. We got a yummy candy apple and went to the petting zoo which was seriously the most disgusting thing ever. I couldn't wait to get out of there...but it was worth seeing the donkey try to eat Davis' head and he just laughed. That kid is not scared of anything! We sure love our neighborhood friends and are going to miss them!

Back From Kentucky

I just got back from Kentucky last night...and would you believe it, I didn't take even one picture! I guess it was less like a vacation and more like a whirl-wind looking at houses trip. I think we looked at about 40 houses (after driving for 2 straight days to get there). It was out of control! It was fun to spend the time with Steve and we had a great time with Jen and Keith and Michelle and Christian and all the kids. It made me excited to get to live by them.

We left Davis with my parents and it was too long to be away from him. The first few days were a nice break but after that I just missed him like crazy and I am not going to leave him for that long again! It was so good to get home to him. He seems older and is saying new words! He decided to stop taking 2 naps while I was gone (I knew it couldn't last forever, but it sure was nice!) so we have moved to the once a dayer. I am going to have to adjust my schedule and how I do things!

We found a couple of houses that we like but we are going to wait and see if anything else comes up and what happens with our house. The house that is #1 on the list is in a great neighborhood and is really cute and a great family house...4 bedrooms, finished basement and fabulous yard. The kitchen, however, is hideous. We aren't sure we are ready to take on a kitchen remodel. We'll have to see how it goes. House hunting is not fun. I hate it! I can't wait till we are just settled and have it all worked out.

Happy Birthday to Great Grandma Lindsay

We got together for dinner at my parents house last Sunday to celebrate Davis' Great Grandma Lindsay's birthday. It was so fun to get to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa and Great Grandma and Grandpa (Davis can't keep track of all the Grandmas and Grandpas when they are all together!). I just thought these were really cute pictures of him with some great people that we really love a lot (and are going to miss so much when we move!).

Kentucky, here we come!

We are moving to Louisville, Kentucky! Steve got an amazing job that we couldn't pass up...it kind of just fell into our laps when we weren't looking for anything...and so we are going! He is going to be working for a company called George Fern who does expo stuff (conventions, events, etc.)...basically he will be the General Manager of a company kind of like Modern Display which he used to work for. It will be really different from the accounting that he is doing now and he is really excited about getting different experience and doing something new. He starts October 20th...we put our house up for sale today and Davis and I will stay here until it sells, unless it takes forever (which we are praying it won't!). We are so sad to leave our family and friends here in Salt Lake, but at the same time we are excited to have a new experience and to be able to live close to Keith and Jenny and Michelle and Christian (Steve's brother and sister and their families). I am glad that we went to visit the fam out there last fall because I really liked Louisville and it made me very open to wanting to live there when this opportunity came up. So, we are busy getting our house ready to sell and all of the fun craziness that comes with a move like this. We'll see how it all goes!
