First road trip

Nate and I thought driving to Utah would be a fun thing to do in October. Boy was it! Travi went with us too and we got to see Katie in Provo and Grandparents/Aunts in SLC. Overall a good trip, but glad we're not doing another one until Ellie is a year old.

"what?"


These are all from our hike to Stewart Falls in the Provo Canyon. Beautiful Fall colors



Ellie asleep, hiking must have tired her out!














These faces pretty much capture her time in the car seat: happy, to delirious, to crazy, to insane from the sleep deprivation torture we put her through!

catching up

Ellie is 7 months now, holy cow. She is so much fun. She is crawling everywhere, eating everything she shouldn't including computer cords, and she is pulling herself up to a standing position. crazy. we really have to start baby-proofing this place! she loves eating and sometimes we can't get it in her mouth fast enough. she loves to scrunch her nose and breathe heavily through her nose. i think she likes the sound she can make while doing it. she is definitely a mama's girl. she cries whenever i get up to throw away her diaper, sheesh,i'm still in the same room :) she is a good baby, makes us laugh a lot and is so much fun to snuggle, when she holds still long enough to let us!


"I didn't do it!"
