Keeping Her Occupied

Whenever I'm trying to get something done in the kitchen Lisi always manages to be in the play-with-me-or-hold-me-and-if-you-don't-I'm-going-to-scream-and-pull-on-your-leg mood. When this happens I can usually just open a cupboard or the pantry and the tears will magically disappear. Then it manages to turn into a mess I have to clean up, but I would rather clean up a mess than have a tiny person I'm constantly dragging around on my leg.

Happy Halloween!

The Halloween festivities started a couple of weeks before October 31st (Grandpa is sooo happy, I'm sure!). It all started with putting up some decorations that Grandma and Grandpa sent us.

We then got a package from Grammy and Pop Pop which was filled with candy. Dave came home from work one evening and grabbed a couple of Reese's. Lisi wanted to know what was so special about a Reese's so she grabbed one right out of Dave's hand and started gobbling it right down.

We had our ward Trunk-or-Treat the Friday before Halloween and usually Dave isn't too fond of the idea of dressing up, but this year he was all into it.
Dave: Gorilla
Lisi: Banana
Me: Banana tree
(We got 2nd place for best family costume!)

We then went to a farm to pick a pumpkin and get some apple cider donuts.

On Halloween, the application Dave is on at work put together a little Trick-or-Treating so Lisi and I headed over there in the afternoon. Dave took his little banana around to the offices so he... she could get some candy.
Do you think she had fun?

That night, Lisi was a little worn out from all the festivities and skipped out on Trick-or-Treating. She handed out a few pieces of candy and went right to bed. I would have to say it was a very successful Halloween!

Happy Birthday!

Better late than never, right?

I know she doesn't look like it, but believe it or not, Lisi is one! We went out to Utah for a friend's wedding and stayed out there to celebrate Lisi's day with some family. Lisi had a blast!

We started off the festivities by going to Kneaders with Dave's brother, Matt (aka Tio)


We ate some yummy cupcakes!



Lisi loved spending time with family.


Lisi wanted to help Grandpa mow the lawn


Can you believe we've gone from this...


to this...

We love you little miss Lisi Mae! All 15.5 lbs of you!
