Julia's Crawling Progress

She's hasn't quite perfected it yet, but here's her current progress. (P.S. Can you guess what she's going for?)

Last week I tried on my wedding dress for the first time since we got married(my brother's getting married in January, so I was feeling nostalgic). The most disappointing part was that I couldn't even get my arms to fit in the sleeves!

I'm telling myself it's because of all the muscle I've built from carrying Julia around. Man, I must have been scrawny when I got married.

Sometimes this feels like my family...

Come What May and Love It

This was such a great talk, and since I have nothing exciting to post this week about us I thought I'd share this. Enjoy!

What an amazing child!

Attention all grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousin, close friends, acquaintances, and random people who lurk on my blog, I would like to announce another astounding accomplishment by my adorable offspring. Julia has taken calcium, phosphorus, and other minerals to form...a tooth! Such talent!

Happy Halloween!

For Halloween my cousin Katrina and her family came up from San Diego to celebrate with us. We had a BBQ (that's right, we ate outside, because it was 80 degrees!), and went Trick-or-Treating for twenty minutes in Claremont's little shopping area, The Village. Every time someone would put a candy in Ali's bucket she would take it out and want to eat it. Then we went to our ward Halloween party, then came home and and handed out candy (we had a good stream of trick-or-treaters come by), put the kiddos to sleep and played games. That's probably the most we have done to celebrate Halloween since Rob and I have been married!

ESPN College Gameday

Last week Robert spent all week reading on the Cougarboard about ESPN's College Gameday coming to BYU and wishing he could go. So when his uncle let him know on Wenesday he might have an extra ticket to the game for him Robert started making plans to go to Utah. He still didn't let me know for sure we were even going until a few hours before we left on Friday though. We drove half the night Friday, got to Utah at 2:30 a.m. Saturday morning. Robert didn't even sleep and left for College Gameday at 5:00 a.m. Meanwhile Julia and I slept until 9:30 a.m., woke up and watched the Tivo'd version of Robert on ESPN! He made it onto the front row and had a great time.
Turns out his uncle did give him a ticket and he got to go to the game too. Thanks Jerry!
Julia and I spent the day with my family, and Sunday we headed back to California.
