Full swing into October

General Conference weekend: amazing! What wonderful talks! Chris was nice enough to watch Liz and Cate so I could go to the chapel to hear the Sunday morning session :) We especially enjoyed Elder Larry R. Lawrence's talk during the Sunday afternoon session. Conference weekend always goes by so fast; I wish it didn't!

While we were fiddling with the camera and seeing if we could get rid of the blurriness, Chris found the black and white option and got a picture of me. I kinda like the black and white!


I always get to this point in my post: what happened last week? haha Half the time (okay, more like 85% of the time) I forget something fun we did...oh well.

The weather definitely turned cool this week! I got all the girls' clothes sorted out; they are set for the winter months. As I was rummaging through Lizzie's bins, I found so many cute outfits that I loved. So now it's great to see Cate wearing them!
This is an outfit my friend Amie gave to Lizzie and now it fits Cate perfectly.


I still have my bin of winter stuff sitting on the top shelf in the closet...I'll probably get to that tonight when the girls go to bed!
Lizzie is getting her two bottom molars...thankfully she's only had a few spells of crankiness. I'm thankful that she can now tell me when she's in pain.
Cate is so ticklish; I love it! She's such a cutie...we still get the " beautiful redhead" comments wherever we go :)

Cate always falls asleep when Chris holds her like this!

I've tried holding Cate like this but I don't think Cate appreciates my bony hip :)

When I put hairbows on Cate, Lizzie always asks for one too. Here's the best part--she doesn't rip it out of her hair! Thank you Cate for being the example!



Chris's birthday is coming up quickly (October 23) and I'm looking forward to getting him some great gifts! I'm on the hunt for a new pair of black church shoes and a new reversible belt. Hey, I might even "give" him a camera...which would remain in my possession because I'm the picture taker! mwahahaha

Oh yes: Crazy8= my absolute new favorite store! Google it; I ADORE their clothes. I've already bought Liz a zebra print dress and a jean skirt from their new location at the mall! *Yes it is a kids' clothing store. I don't remember the last time I bought new clothes for me...

If I remember more of what happened last week, I'll add it later on. Or hey, I may forget. We'll see what my brain decides to do.
