I'm living with the fact I won't get better at this...

So I'm just terrible at updating this regularly. I was putting pictures on the computer and realized how much we've done in the last month. Crazy! Things have gone pretty well for our family. Scott's been working more hours at work so that's been nice money wise although I miss having him around on Monday's with me but some days he's off a little early so that's always a treat. Scott's brother Rick came home from his mission in Resistencia Argentina a couple weeks ago. It's been fun having him around. I sadly don't have picture because I was holding a sign and Charlotte but Scott did get stuff on our video camera. So that's good. The weather has changed here. It's been a lot cooler and we actually already had snow. I have some pictures below that will show that and the beautiful fall colors. Anyway, I can explain more in the pictures so enjoy!

I don't know why she made this face but it's kinda funny

When she smiles or starts to squeal or scream she sticks her tongue out. I love my little girl

I like this smile too. She kinda sucks in her bottom lip and smiles.

We were going out on a walk and I had to bundle her up. She looks like she's going jogging.

I love her sweet little face.

Here's is Scott holding her at the Utah State fair

Me and Charlotte at the fair

We went to the Salt Lake templ the other night because Scott's friend was being sealed to his wife. Scott went in but I stayed out with Charlotte to walk her around. It worked out well because Scott's parents needed an ink cartridge from Staples which was on 4th South and 6th East so not too far from Temple Square so I decided to walk there with Charlotte. I took some other pics that you'll see below.

I just love the downtown and avenues area of SLC. There are so many cool looking churches and homes and buildings incorporating new with old. This I believe was a Presbyterian church on like 2nd East.

This was actually a Walgreens on 4th South by Cafe Rio where me, Megan and Liz went to buy a couple curling irons to do my hair for my wedding. My mom got us a room at Little America so we had kinda like a slumber party. I had such a good time hanging out with them and I was so glad they were willing to do my hair because I didn't know anyone at the time! And my hair turned out perfect! They're the best!

I can't remember which church this is but it's on South Temple I believe. I just love the architecture. So beautiful!

This is another view of the same church. I can only imagine what it looks like inside

This is a Catholic church I believe. I wanna say it's the Magdalena. I know they just celebrated the 100 yr anniversary. Yet another beautiful building.

Here's a view from South Temple and State St. looking up towards the capital. That is one cool building. It's really neat inside. We went for a tour of the inside after they had done a bunch of remodeling.

Here's the Eagle Gate also at South Temple and State St.

This is where they have the Lion House (amazing rolls!) and the Beehive house.

This is the Church Office building. My Father in-law works here. Right there with Temple Square. It's such a beautiful area. They have it landscaped so beautifully. Scott and I were able to visit my father in-law there once and he took us on a tour and we got to go to the top floor. It was so neat and the views are incredible!

This was from after our first snow. I took a drive up Middle Canyon in Tooele to see the fall colors and see how much snow they had. Very pretty drive.

These were just a couple other views of the many colors.

This is my nephew Nolan and my neice Isabel at the state fair

That's my brother Eric and Nolan coming out of the fun house at the fair

One of the rides Chloe, Cami, and Izzy went on

This was the Ferris wheel

We always walk through the livestock areas so see all the animals. The kids love it. Here's one of the pigs that had some little piglets

So I didn't wanna go in and learn about pork since I refuse to eat it... yucky

This cow was huge! You can kinda get an idea how big he is from the people standing by it but the picture does not do it justice. I have never seen an animal so large and I would love to see it standing cuz I don't know how he holds all that weight!

I always loved the milk cows. They're so cute.

Here's a couple goats fighting

Nolan wanted to take a picture by the race car. He loves cars

Scott's parents had been doing some remodeling in there home and we took their old carpet to use in our basement for now. Scott had rearranged some things so this is are little bit of food storage that we're working on building. We have some other long term stuff in another area but the stuff I use now I wanted more accessible so it's now next to our furnace, water heater and water softener.

This is our other little tv room. We have our old couch down there with our tv and a couple unused dressers. You'll also notice the Rock Band set up by the tv. We keep the xbox 360 downstairs. We actually don't spend a lot of time down here but this will be nicer when we do. It's nice to spend summer in the basement cuz it's so much cooler

I found a praying mantis in one of the window wells. I always keep these guys in my gardens. They eat the grasshoppers and also wasps! Love them! Toby has gotten a couple which I wasn't happy about. I want them to lay eggs in the garden so next spring they take over and my plants will grow. I'm happy to say I have at least one egg in the window well and there is one praying mantis still alive down there so I'm hoping to get another!

I have never seen spiders like this around but he's in one of the window wells too. Very interesting looking. As long as he keeps the bugs out.

This is an old picture I found. I think it's the only one we have of me pregnant. Scott's mom took it sometime around Easter I think. I know it was pretty close to my due date. Crazy to think I was that big and I didn't even feel very big at all. So strange.
