Mammoth Caves

The day before my Dad left, we decided to go to Mammoth Caves. I have been wanting to go for awhile and this was the perfect excuse. Well, all because I decided that my bathrooms had to be cleaned before we left, we ended up missing the tour that we wanted to go on and ended up having an hour and a half to kill before the next one...which all turned out to be a blessing because Davis pooped while we were waiting (in the potty, thank you) and well, you all know about our poop struggles around here and really we would have been in big trouble if he had needed to poop while we were down in the depths of some cave. So, to make a long story long, that is why the majority of these pictures are actually outside of the cave (it was really beautiful there by the way). We had a great time and Davis really like the cave and really liked riding the bus to get to the cave. Good times.

Huber Farm

While Grandpa and Grandma were here, we went to Huber Farm to pick apples {yum}. I took a million pictures and had a hard time picking just a few, so there are a lot! Enjoy...

Oh, and funny story...we bought some amazing apple dumplings from Hubers and that night Steve and I each had one and couldn't stop talking about how good they were (there were 6 in the package). So the next morning and I am getting breakfast for Davis and I don't see the package of apple dumplings, so I am thinking 'wow, my Dad must have really enjoyed those dumplings, I can't believe he ate all of them'-and am super disappointed because they were really that good and I was really looking forward to having another. So later that day I said something to my Dad about them and turns out he hadn't eaten any of them-he thought we had eaten all of them and we thought he had eaten all of them. We looked everywhere and couldn't find any evidence of the dumplings. I finally found them about 3 weeks later in a toy shopping cart in our storage room. Turns out Davis was the culprit. Such a waste....if you go up to Hubers anytime soon, I highly recommend them!

Grandpa and Grandma Wright Visit

My parents came to visit at the end of September. Unfortunately, my mom ended up having to leave early because my Grandpa wasn't doing very well and he ended up passing away before she would have gotten home, so I am so glad that she was able to make it home and be with him before he passed. It was, however, a bummer for us to have her leave early. We tried to make the best of the time that she was here and we had such a great time with them.

Emery loves her Grandpa. She really does have a special smile for him and would get so excited when he held her. It was super cute...and I think he liked it...just a little!

Don't worry Grandma, she loved you too! (by the way, is my mom a supermodel, or what?!)

Utah Trip for Grandpa Lindsay's Funeral

I felt like I took a million pictures while Emery and I were in Utah for my Grandpa's funeral, but when I went to upload them, there just weren't very many...I guess we were only there for about 3 days so that might be why. Anyway, here are a few, mostly of the cutie!

Eating paper towels at Grandma Larsen's...don't worry I was eating Cafe Rio while she was eating these! I think I got the better end of the deal.

My nephew Grant. Seriously such a cute kid. I love how all his bottom teeth show when he smiles! This was only the second time we have seen him so it was so fun to spend time with him.

Grandma Lindsay with her great-grand kids.

Uncle Micah trying to teach Emery how to stand on his hands...she wasn't so sure about the whole thing!

Cousins lovin on each other.

Thats all I have! I really did spend time with my family, I promise!

Willard Lyman Lindsay

My Grandfather, Willard Lyman Lindsay passed away on September 27, 2010. He was an incredible man and I am so grateful that I was able to attend his funeral and join my family in celebrating his life. It was so great to be able to hear my mom and uncle as well as my grandpa's brother speak about him and I learned a lot of things that I didn't even know about him. I have such great respect for him and he will be greatly missed.


Grandpa was buried at the Orem Cemetery

The Wright Family

My cute brothers!!

My best friend since 7th grade, Kaylene. She has been adopted into the Lindsay Family for a long time and it was so sweet of her to come to the funeral.

Such a good helper!

This little girl is a good helper...well, at least a cute one.

She Can Sit!!

About 2 weeks ago, Emery started sitting up really well. I love that she can sit up, but along with it came the army crawling and I don't think it will be too long before she gets those knees going, too. She is all over the place. She wants to explore everything! We put up the gate at the top of the stairs last week and have had to do a very thorough job of babyproofing. I miss my sweet baby that just sat still on my lap, but it is fun to see her gain some independence and learn by getting around and exploring.

This one just because she's cute.
