Halloween Stuff :)

I am SUPER behind on blogging, but here is a quick post from Halloween!! 
We had fun as a family carving pumpkins! I loved having Remi feel the pumpkin guts!! 
And... I am LOVING her bed head hair right here hehe.
We had lazy morning and wore our pj's while we carved!
Here is Remi and her pumpkin!! 



I am not that good at carving, but here is Remi's!! 
Baby's 1st :)

Mine was supposed to be a one eyed monster....
You can think what you want! haha...


Of course, Eli did Batman, and of course his is basically the best! 
I love his!! 

Daddy and Remi :)


Our cute little fairy!


Aunt Livvy and Remi were twinners.


A witch, batman, and a fairy!! 
We went to two trunk or treats. We pushed Remi around in the stoller and you could say that Eli was the one tick or treating haha. Then we went to my family's and had sloppy joes!!


Eli and Remi sorting their candies!!


 We had a GREAT Halloween and I had a GREAT birthday.
I got to sleep in and the woke up to eggs and toast in bed :)
Eli got my a tripod and some kinect games for my bday!

Then we hung out and home and took some family pictures!!
we had such a great day spending time with each other!

6 months old!


Yep, my little girl is actually 6 months old! 
I remember a friend of ours had their 6 month old hanging out with us, and I was still pregnant with Remington. I remember thinking, wow, what will it be like when my daughter is that old? 

Remington is getting so independent. 
I think it drives her crazy sometimes that she can't exactly tell us what she wants.
She is FINALLY eating baby food! WHOO!
The day before her 6 month check up, she downed a whole can of applesauce.
She is still getting used to it, but she eats a lot of it now. I am so proud.
It is really cute to see her sitting up in her high chair, the carts in the store, or the high chairs in the restaurants  She loves being a big girl.

Remi still hasn't rolled, but she can get about 3/4 of the way over. 
She is very good at going from a sitting position to her belly.
Her new favorite thing to do is suck on her lip, and it kind of sounds like she is beat boxing, just like her dad! 
The other day, she was sitting playing toys, and she reached down, got the remote, and held it to to TV. 
I don't' know if this is a good thing or a bad thing...
I really don't watch must TV though so I think it just means she is very smart for her age... :)
She is getting more and more talkative everyday! She loves primary, especially singing time. 
She likes to sing along with me whenever I sing to her as well.
She laughs at every thing! It is probably the cutest thing ever  to see what she finds completely hilarious.
The two things that made her laugh the hardest lately is when my sisters were throwing little stuffed animals at the ceiling fan. Sometimes she would start laughing before they even threw it!
Another thing is when ever I put a stuffed animal on my head and tip it over on to her. She laughs SO hard!
She is so good at picking things up with her hand (wants to eat EVERYTHING!) and is very good at sitting up by herself. 
At her 6 month check up, she weighed 17 pounds and 14 ounces.
She is now 25 inches long. 
Still in the 75th for weight and the 25th for height. Taking after her mama!
I love this little stinker so much! 
Happy 6 months Remi!!


Scrap retreat and Sunday drive.

I am getting slightly behind on our blog, so here comes some catch up post + a lot of pictures!!

At the beginning of October, Me and Remington hitched a ride, with my sister in law Kailey and her daughter Chloe, to the bi-annual Scrap Retreat down in Preston. 
We had so much fun. Staying up late, laughing, eating, crafting, scraping, "your face jokes", and hot tubbin'!
The Fall colors were absolutely GORGE, and so I did a little mini-sesh with my baby doll!


Remi was playing around while I was getting all of our stuff packed.


Basically, she is the cutest baby, EVER! ;)
I love when she is in her little hooded towel. 
She loves bath time. 


Waiting for Kailey and Chloe to pick us up!


Pretty sunset on our way to Preston, Idaho.

We got to the retreat and set up all of the tables and chairs. 
We picked out our room and then we ate some Papa Murphy's Pizza!!
We were all so delirious while playing phase 10 and watching "What happens in Vegas."
I think I laughed at part that weren't even meant to be funny..



The next day, we went in to the Preston D.I., of course!
At first I didn't think that we would find anything worth buying, but the more we looked around, the more things we found. Books and clothes mostly!

We spent the rest of the weekend crafting and scraping away!
We ate some very delicious meals and had some great conversations.
Many memories were definitely made!



A few weeks ago, Eli and I took our usual Sunday drive!
I enjoy this time with him and Remington very much!
We saw a lot of deer just like we always do! 
This herd was pretty close to the road.


Here is a different herd of deer. 
They were right in the middle of the road and then ran up on to the hill side.


Beautiful view!

This would have to be my very favorite picture yet! (That I have taken on our drives.)
Eli said a good title for this one would be "For the beauty of the Earth."
I couldn't agree more.


He is just so cute.
Especially when he gets all giddy like a little boy when he spots some deer. :)


Little piggies on the road side!! They were rubbing their snouts in the dirt all crazy like!


Just had to post this!
I was trying out one of my new lenses that Eli got me along with my camera.
She is just so beautiful! 


And then here are the pictures I took up in Preston while we were at the retreat!
The colors are beautiful. Remi was quite fascinated with the leaves!
