October

We have had a fun month.  Here are some pictures of what I've been up to.  I would say "we've" but then I realized that Josh has been studying or working, so I've done these things by myself, with Josh's support.

Halloween party with some friends from the ward. (One of the husbands was complaining that we always only have pictures of just the women, which is true, but I just don't feel like the guys ever want to get together to take a picture, so too bad for them...) 

Also, I already love going to Joann's and finding fabric, but I love it even more when they have sales and fabric is 50% off- I mean it really is amazing!  I made these two purses this week and have been having so much fun!  I got the design for the first one from this blog, the second one is a pattern I made up- I'm not totally in love with it, but I may tweak things a bit so it looks better. Let me know what you think!

Parent Weekend

My parents came up to Denver to visit for the weekend.  We didn't take a lot of pictures, but we had fun.  I am excited to get everyone together in November for Conner's farewell.  I love family!

My typical work conversation

Convo #1
J: You look really old.
Me:  Oh yeah...
J: Yeah, you look like 13!
Me: Wow, that's old.

Convo #2
B:  You have a broken nose.
Me: I'm pretty sure I don't.
B: I'm pretty sure you do, it's messed up.
Me: Ok, thanks.

Convo #3
B: You're a white girl.
Me: yup
B: I'm a black boy.
Me: true (then I just started to laugh)

I'm never quite sure how these conversations start.   #1 was when we were building with blocks, # 2 was when he was waiting in line to get his picture taken, and then again a week later during reading time (I have never broken my nose and according to Josh it doesn't look broken), and #3 was when he was washing his hands before snack time.

Oh how I love working with 4 year olds.

Labor Day and BYU

On Labor Day we decided to head over to A Taste of Colorado.

We were able to have some samples of food from restaurants we haven't been to before and we had a lot of fun.  We discovered a great place called Gelazzi's that serves sorbetto, we just have to figure out when in Denver it is. It was a fun day and I am glad we went. 

We also were able to attend the BYU v AFA game on Saturday.  The first quarter was fun, we were cheering.  After that we were more just yelling loudly, but it was fun to go and cheer on the Cougars, even though they didn't do well.  I'll still cheer, I just hope they get it together for the next game.  

more mt rushmore

I just wanted to post more group pictures.  Thanks Kaley!

the group in front of the cabin and in front of the mountain... so fun.

Josh inside the cave- he got inside this tiny hole that he had to slither to get in and out of- he loved it!

Mt Rushmore

Last weekend we had the opportunity to go to Mt Rushmore with a lot of our friends.  We were lucky enough to stay in a beautiful cabin that fit 15 people.  It was amazing.  We took a tour of the Mt Rushmore cave, walked around the little town, and watched the lighting ceremony at night of Mt Rushmore.  It was a great trip and we are so glad we went.  I ended up liking being at Mt Rushmore much more than I actually thought I would.  It was really cool. Thanks to all our friends who spent a lot of time planning this trip while Josh an I were in AZ.  It was great and we can't wait for the next trip!!!

the lawyers (Josh, Rob, Levi, Josh)

I don't have a picture of all the boys, but I really liked this one

the girls on Rachel's birthday (hence the pink crown/halo)

(Ashley, Alexandria, Rachel, Alana, Debbie, Kaley)

I don't have a picture of the whole group, I didn't get one with my camera, but maybe I can steal one and put it up...

2 years

I can't believe it has been 2 years.  I love you Josh!
