More to Come...

We were invited to a really neat event with Josh's professor and his wife. It was called the "Festival of Trees". It was a dinner, auction, choral performance, and dancing. Josh got to help hold up auction items and such. We had a good time. Well, we had mentioned to Josh's professor that we thought one of the Christmas trees was particularly cool. It was Purdue themed and absolutely beautiful. He bid on it during the auction and won. I whispered to him that it was real cool that he had got it and he whispered back that it was going to be delivered to my house the next day... what???? I didn't know what to say... was he serious?? YUP!!! I said a very sincere thank you, but how are you supposed to thank somebody for a gift that generous?? Really?? Suggestions? :) Here are a couple of pictures of the tree... we need to find a pretty tree skirt, but here it is for now. I titled the post more to come, because I have pictures of us before we left for the event. Mom and Kali flew all the way out to babysit for us... FUN HUH!! Anyways, here are the pictures.

Wow!


Some close ups of the ornaments, but not all of them...

Fun, huh?

Moira's Laugh

Moira's laugh is super funny! This used to make Madeline laugh too. :)

October!!

Here are some more October pictures! Woot! :) (They are pretty out of order, sorry!)

This was Moira's first time in the jumper! Isn't she getting big?

Josh broke his finger playing basketball. It's almost all better now though.

My pictures are a little out of order... here is Josh's awesome pumpkin. Madeline called it 'Silly Pumpkin!' She was sad to see him go when he started rotting.

Still out of order, sorry... this is Madeline's loot from the Purdue dorms! Sweet, eh?

Our little Nemo and pea pod! Awww!!

Getting ready to go trick-or-treating at 'Purdue' (the dorms that is).

I made carmeled apples... SUPER EASY... but nobody ate them. That's alright, they do get stuck in your teeth real bad. (Do you like the I Love Christmas shirt??) :)

Pumpkin Carving!!

Here was the pumpkin I was going to carve. I opted to make dinner out of it instead... didn't work out so well. :( Made me miss my mom's!!!

Here are our buddies Ross, Lynette, and Samuel. We had them over for our annual pumpkin carving extravaganza!

Here is our dear friend and neighbor, Mary! She is always willing to hold baby Moira, EVEN if she is crying. :) We love her!!

Madeline did a great job with her pumpkin, don't you think??

October Pictures

A couple of weeks ago I took the girls to the park. The leaves were so beautiful and my girls so adorable. I felt so so so abundantly blessed, grateful, happy, and at peace! I prayed that I could always remember the moment. Here are some pictures!

She looks so angelic to me in this picture!

My big little girl wants to go on the big kid swings now!!

I still think she's my baby!

She loves to have a walking stick!


I was letting Madeline feed baby Moira dinner... we stopped after I took this picture. Moira wasn't having too much fun. :)

But at first she really didn't mind too much. :)

What a princess, eh?

Madeline was Nemo for Halloween! She LOVED IT!!!

Here's silly baby Moira!

Kali and Mom came out a couple of weeks ago! We LOVE when they come out, we went to aerobics, painted nails, took naps, and just hung out!!

Family Pics

I have a lot of pictures that need to be uploaded, but here are some for now. We had a good friend take our family's picture. Madeline was not very cooperative at all, so we didn't really have too many shots where everyone is looking forward, but there were still a lot that turned out cute anyways.

Here is my precious baby Moira!

Cute Madeline, NOT looking at the camera!

My favorite family picture!! :)

Quick Comparison

Just wanted to do a few quick comparison shots...


Here are Moira and Madeline at 2 months...

Here they are after their 2 month check-ups!

They don't look very much alike, do they? :)

Some pictures with more to come...

Here are my precious little girls just having a little conversation.

Madeline thinks Moira is giving her kisses... (she's really just sucking on her hair)

Had to throw one more picture in! :)

Here is one of Madeline's best friends ever!! They have so much fun together. They had to look exactly alike in this picture... glasses, bags, etc!

Their favorite game is chasing each other! :)

My precious baby Moira!

Here is Lynnette before the annual trek to the pumpkin patch!

Here is our little family on the way out to the pumpkin patch.

We don't know how much Moira enjoyed it. It was pretty crazy bumpy!

Josh and Madeline picking the perfect pumpkin!

Josh and Moira's favorite past time! Aren't they so so so cute??

Here's me showing off part of my new wardrobe! We hit an awesome sale at Old Navy! Woot! Josh picked out all my clothes... I'm so lucky to have a stylish husband!

Baby Moira sleeping peacefully...awww!

The Dustins and the Hubbards on the hay wagon. We love spending time with these guys... they are like are Indiana family!

Me and Moira found a sweet pumpkin!

Here is Madeline playing and singing songs out of the church Children's Songbook. :)

Baby Moira smiling!! :) She is so cute!

More smiles!

Here is what Madeline did during general conference. EXCEPT when the Tabernacle Choir sang... then she was in the zone!

Here are Josh and Moira during conference.

Cute little Madeline!

Moira had her 2 month appointment and is officially in the 97th percentile for her height and 90th for her weight! HOLY COW!!! :)
