Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was a busy, but fun-filled day. Me n Liv got up early to finish our pies & make our stuffing. My cute mom taught us how to make pies the night before at her house. We made pumpkin, chocolate, & banana. It was fun & we learned alot. So Thanksgiving afternoon we headed up to Mountain Green to my Aunt Becky's. We stopped by Brock n Kelsie's, & Justin n Natalie's houses because we hadn't seen them yet. They are so beautiful & in such a pretty area too. We are so happy for them :) How fun that they are neighbors too! I would love to live by my siblings. Actually, I used to live by Ryan n Lindsay in Kaysville. It was cool! We had a delicious lunch there, & then headed to Bobby's sister Becki's with our pies. It was so fun to see all our family that day. Liv had fun playing football with her cousins, & we all had fun holding our new nieces Lainey & Kaylee. They are 5 months already & so so cute! Bobby's brother Billy was there & is doing fantastic. He is still healing & gets really tired, and has headaches, but he was a champ hanging out all day. It was a fun day & we are so grateful & blessed to have such wonderful & fun family. We love you all!
P.S.-forgot my camera once again!

Nutcracker

I got tickets a few months ago to take Liv to see Dracula, which she loved. So at the same time I had pre-bought tickets to see the Nutcracker, which I love. Liv has never seen it, so I was super-excited to take her for her first time. We actually want to make it a girls night from now on, every year with the fam. It's fun to get dressed up & go out, & I love the Capitol Theater. It's so pretty inside, & reminds me of all the fantastic, extravagant old theaters in New York. Ballet West did an amazing job & I thought it was every bit as good as NY's. I am so silly though & completely forgot to bring my camera. I was extra-bummed because they had humongous Nutcrackers on both sides of the entry way that you could get your photo taken by. I got Liv's pic on my camera phone, but still have no idea how to get it to my computer. Technology is not always my friend.

Domestic Godesses

Me & Liv have been little homemakers lately. We made a homemade banner for Thanksgiving that turned out pretty cute. No sewing involved! We also made yumm-Y old-fashioned pumpkin chocolate chip cookies with homemade glaze. They were de-LISH!

Family Fun

We went to see Hollywood Undead in Salt Lake. They are one of Livy & Bobby's favorite bands that they have enlightened me with, & now I love them too :) We had a blast!

New Baby! Maelee Marie Hadley

Ashley had her baby girl Maelee Marie Hadley on October 19. She weighed 7 lbs. 3 oz. She is soo cute! My sister is a rock star and had her natural. Way to go Ash! She is adorable!

Dracula

So I took Livy to see Dracula by Ballet West at the Capitol Theater. I was so excited because she has never been to the ballet before. This was one of my favorite thingsto do in New York. The fantastic older theaters, the costumes, the dressing up, everything. I was a little nervous that she would be bored or not like it, but she was on the edge of her seat & loved it. So did I :) It was fun to get all decked out & have a girls day. We went to P.F.Changs afterwards too, which was also a first for Liv. It was so much fun to share something special like that with the bestest daughter ever.

Birthdays!

October is full of birthdays & holidays! Especially this year! First of all Dad had knee surgery, which went very well. So glad he got it fixed & can't wait for him to be back on his feet. Due to that though, Mom & Dad had a memorable anniversary in the hospital! It was awesome though because they got to be there when Ashley had Maelee. Good timing!
The week before we all got to celebrate Zach's birthday at their house. We had french dip sandwiches. Thanks Momma-so good! It was cool too because Zach didn't have to share his thunder with Maelee...yet ;) They both have the same birthday!....The day of Zach's party Billy & Logan came over to watch football. Me, Liv, & Paige made & frosted sugar cookies. We all had so much fun! It was so nice to spend time with Billy & his fam.
