Fall

I cannot believe we are almost through October, almost halfway through fall. I love the fall time, there is so much fun stuff to do. It really gets me in the mood for the holiday season. I LOVE Halloween, it is my favorite holiday behind Christmas. I love the decorations, the weather is cooling down, the cute clothes you get to wear and all the fun family activities. This is the first fall in 5 years that we are spending outside of Utah... and I will admit... I miss it. It just feels so much more like fall in Utah, there is a ton more to do. You have mulitple pumpkin patches, corn mazes, haunted houses, the leaves changing, and the weather actually cooling down. BUT I wouldn't trade living in Southern California, the winters are just too long.

Bella and I were able to go to a pumpkin patch with my mom and 2 sisters... it was fun but soo hot that day! Then Bella and I went to another one a few days later with Greg, but I dont have pics uploading from that trip yet...

Bella is holding on for dear life

Bee isn't looking and my eyes are closed... but I still love this picture.

These pictures describe Bella perfectly

I took these a few days before... so adorable

Bella can squat with the best of them

She is sweating up a storm.. haha

Love all these!

Could I be any more lucky to have such a fun, cute, loving little girl?! And I am even more lucky I get to dress her up in all these fall/ halloween outfits.

Fall is even more fun with my little family!

Hawaii Time

I. Love. Hawaii. Let me rephrase that. I. Love. Maui. I have been lucky enough growing up to have taken countless trips to Maui with my family. My parents bought a place over her when I was 6 weeks old. We would come every summer since I was 10 for at least a month. I always loved it! Now I get to bring my little girl here! It is Bella's second time coming here already. I hope we can come often so she can make the same memories.
Below there is a picture of a little crab crawling on Bella, she is pushing the stroller, giggling! And a beautiful rainbow!!

Precious Moments

This past year has been one of the most difficult years I have gone through. I am lucky I have such a great family who has been there for me. I love the time I get to spend with Bella, she makes everything worth it. Her smile is so contagious and her laugh is adorable. Bella's new favorite show is 3rd and Bird, she LOVES all the music.

I am so lucky I get to spend all day everyday with her. I treasure all the time I have with her. Those precious moments are what I live for.

Baking Time

Ever since I can remember I have always wanted a little girl so I can do all the fun mother daughter stuff. Cooking, shopping, painting nails, doing hair and... Baking! So today I decided, let's bake. It was cute because I told Bells we are going to make some cookies and said, Yay! Cookies! Then she clapped. Loved. It.Bells helped me get everything out. While I added in the sugar I looked back and someone decided they needed to try it.

Then she tried to get the brown sugar. How adorable is that face! It brightens my day!

Flour time.. I felt bad she rubbed her eye so I made sure to clean her up.

Bells thought the mixer was pretty cool... Then not too sure about it. Haha.

Finally they are done, so I let her dig in. She. Loved. It.I love how she is trying to put her hand in her mouth when it's flat. Haha. I am so lucky, I just cant wait till she gets hair!
