Festival of the Trees

Danny, Caydence and I went to the Festival of the Trees tonight.  Danny had never been, and I hadn't been in years, so it was pretty new for both of us.  We ran into my cousin Ally and her husband Matt, which was good because they told us all of the good trees to look at :)  These were a few of our favorites:

Twilight of course.
For the golf lover.
This one was all glass.  (Ally said she heard this one went for $27,000!)
This was in the gingerbread portion.  It was about 5 feet tall!

"You can be my punk rock princess..."

Body World....

On Veterans' Day Danny and I went to the Body Worlds exhibit in Salt Lake.  I am really grossed out with blood and guts, etc. but this was very different.  I think the bodies looked very plastic, so it wasn't gross, it was actually interesting.  I would definitely recommend you see it, if it didn't cost so much.  I thought it was really good, but not worth the $22 each!!!

Playing house

So my parents are out of town this week and I have been left in charge.  I am only half way through and it has been a crazy week!  Paige has ice skating 3 days a week!  My mom has way too much patience.  She spends half of her week at that ice rink, all the way in Bountiful.  Then Paige has spelling, typing, reading, homework page, and piano.  Man, her life is crazy.

Other than that it's not too bad- it helps that she doesn't get home from school until 3:30 so my mornings are free.  It's nice to have Caydence so young that she doesn't have all the activities, but it will also be nice to have her in school :)

Anyways, I can't have a post without pictures of Caydence, so here they are:

I went in to check on her sleeping today and this is what I found.  Yes, she is asleep holding her foot in the air.
This is one of the dogs in Caydence's "Grandma Toy."  My mom bought her these and she is only allowed to play with them at Grandma's house.  She likes to hold the dogs in her mouth by the tail like a dog-ironic...but too cute!

Ready for Snow!!

So it has been snowing all day and I was really excited for Caydence to wear all of her new snow clothes.  (Well, SOME of her snow clothes.)

This is her new hat.  It is so cute!

Halloween

We went out in the back yard today and raked leaves for a few hours, so we thought we'd put the piles to good use. I wish you could see Caydence's whole shirt because it is a way cute jack-0-lantern face!

Pumpkin Carving

We finally carved our pumpkins so they hopefully won't rot before Halloween.  It was pretty fun, but I absolutely HATE my hands being dirty, so it is always a challegne for me to clean out the insides!

Here they are all finished.  Danny's is the monster on the left and mine is some kind of haunted house on a hill with clouds and bats (It's really hard to see.  It ended up being so intricate that pieces were breaking.)

Danny's lit up

Mine lit up (even harder to see)
