October Photo Dump

I finally finished this craft I've been planning on making for the last 3 months. Closet dividers for baby clothes.

This was after clipping off all the tags off of baby clothes. Look how many of those plastic things I pulled out! I swear these clothes companies are trying to kill our children.

Jon got really excited when he saw this. He didn't know there were apples with his same name. We bought some and every time he saw me eating one he would say, "Are those apples of mine good?"

Sometimes you just need to go grocery shopping for fruit and veggies. Can't go wrong with healthy foods!

We went to a birthday party for our nephew, Kannon, at the Discovery Gateway in Salt Lake. Even though most of the guests there were adults, they still had us all color our own superhero masks and participate in their science experiments. Ha ha ha. This is a picture of us all "making snow."

Our Superhero masks!

Being Fall, I really felt the urge to make lots of Pumpkin treats this month. First I made some Pumpkin Bread, but it got gobbled up before I could get a picture. Then I made these pumpkin squares. We gave away some of them but Jon ate most of the rest before I could give anymore away. I guess we are keeping that recipe!

I also made some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies a few days ago and those have been quickly disappearing as well. I'm so glad Jon is such a huge supporter of my baking!

We didn't dress up for Halloween this year but we had a great time at the ward party the day before Halloween and then on Halloween we went to a little party with my family, went trick or treating with Britian and Laykin, and then we watched a scary movie before bed. Nothing too stressful, just a fun evening. This was the only picture I took that night:

Did anyone else notice the gorgeous sunset on Halloween??

Maternity Pictures

We wanted to take a few baby bump pictures before it was too late (maybe "bump" isn't the most accurate word...I feel like "massive mountain" might be more appropriate), and my sister was kind enough to take a bunch for us one evening. She ended up taking a ton! And it was pretty hard to narrow it down to just a few favorites to share, but I did my best so here you go:

2 weeks to go!

Baby Shower

On Saturday, October 11th my mom and sisters threw me a little baby shower. It was so fun to see some friends and eat delicious food! I didn't get any pictures of any people, but here are a couple that I was able to snap really quick:

How adorable does that food table look? There were cupcakes, M&Ms, and sugar cookies with cream cheese and fruit toppings. Yum! Everything looked so cute and I had a really good time socializing with everyone who came. My mom and sisters rock.

A Few That Were Missed

After going through the SD cards in our camera bag recently, I found a few pictures from earlier this summer that I failed to post on the monthly photo dumps, so I am going to post them now. Most of them are from a hike we took to Battle Creek Falls. Even though it is a relatively easy hike, I remember being really proud of myself because it was during the second trimester and I had been too sick to do any hiking (or exercising for that matter) for months before then. Plus, not only did we hike to the falls, we hiked quite a ways past the falls too! The other pictures are just from random nights/sunsets this summer. I think most of these were taken in June/July.

I love our beautiful Earth!
