Halloween and Other Fun Things

 Well we have been back from Houston for awhile now and we had to adjust back to our regular routine. Our first week back was a crazy one with two funerals, school began for me, we had Lucy's baptism, Katelyn's blessing, and the Boyce Ator Triathlon. We all love being home, we especially missed our bed! Lizzy has found her new favorite spot in our house, in the kitchen in the afternoon the sun beats down through our back window and she loves to lay in the warm sun.

 She would move with the sun, it was so cute.

 My happy little girl.

 Lizzy decided to help mommy make dinner so she got all the pots and pans out and pretend she was making dinner. She would offer me a taste every now and then and I would tell her she needs more salt or it is perfect! We had lots of fun.

 She brought the dishes in the dinning room and put them on the bench so we could all come in and eat

 Lizzy's cousin had a princess surprise birthday party and I had to make a quick princess dress, thank you Pinterest!! I made this cute little tutu dress and she looks adorable in it!

 Reading her princess books while dressed like a princess.

 HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! We had a fun little Halloween this year. We found the cutest elephant costume at Costco, we picked this because Lizzy loves to make an elephant noise. As you can see Alan was Buzz Lightyear.

 and I was Jessie, I made my whole costume, I was very proud of it, I am becoming quite the crafty mommy.

Under the Sea and other Fun Stuff

 Lizzy's first piggy tails! They are so stinking cute and she doesn't pull them out. I can't wait for her hair to be longer so I can do other things to her hair.

 I went a little crazy on the pictures but they are so cute!

 We have dance time each day and Lizzy has got some sweet moves!

 I was making dinner and I turned to check on Lizzy who was watching Toy Story and she was naked, butt naked! I was laughing so hard, she knew she was being funny and ran away from me when I tried to put her diaper back on.

 One of her favorite toys the ipad, she has figured out how to turn it on and swipe to unlock. We watch Phineas and Ferb every morning on the ipad while Alan works.

 Watching her show

 Lizzy attacks Alan when he gets home from selling.

 I am the CHAMPION

 She really does have an obsession with shoes, just like her mommy.

 She found the best spot on daddy to blow raspberries.

 She sure does love her daddy

 Sunday Lizzy decided that Alan would be fun to stand on.

 Kisses!!

 For our last Sunday in Houston we went to the Houston TX temple

 Alan doing his grumpy face

 Oh we are a happy family, Lizzy is telling me a secret.

 I love to see the temple, I'm going there someday.

 We arrived there a little late so the gates were already closed.

 On Monday we went to the Downtown Aquarium in Houston. It was really cool! We saw alligators, electric eel, sharks, fish that were about as big as me, starfish, sting rays, saw shark which is really rare, python, and many many more.

 This is the python, the sign said that they only need to feed it twice every month.

 Lizzy really liked the Lion Fish

 Sea horses, pretty sure they were mating.

 The electric eel and the spotted thing in the corner is a spotted sting ray

 Lizzy found a picture of a fish that looks like Dory

 Lizzy got to touch a sting ray

 They also had a white tiger exhibit, the tiger was beautiful.

 In the courtyard they had little fountains that you could play in. We let Lizzy play because it was so hot.

 Getting on the train to go see the sharks. I didn't take any pictures of the sharks because one, I was scared to and two I wasn't sure if it was ok to take pictures.

 Alan went on the Dare to Dive, very similar to the blast off at Lagoon.

Even though we have been able to have some fun this last week here has been a tough one, my grandpa Dickson passed away Sunday morning, but we are excited to come home and be with our family and sleep in our own bed!!!
