Something good happens each day. Here's what happened in October:
Thu 10/1/09: We picked up Rachel and Craig from the airport tonight! Looking forward to spending time with them this weekend!
Fri 10/2/09: We went out to eat at Iceberg today with Rachel and Craig. Poor little Emma was feeling rather sick.
Sat 10/3/09: Today was General Conference! We played croquet with Rachel and Craig between sessions, then Rachel and I had fun giving Emma a makeover while the boys were at the Priesthood session.
Sun 10/4/09: We played Apples to Apples tonight with the Bruce-clan and Rachel & Craig. We played just for fun, and kept playing and playing until it was late. It was great!
Mon 10/5/09: The nicest part of the day was laughing with Brad while watching "Arsenic and Old Lace." He and I were both feeling sick today, so he stayed home from work and I got to spend more time with him.
Tue 10/6/09: Lizzy's first time in the big bathtub today! She and I went in the tub for some playtime and to get cleaned up. She loved being with her mama in the water. I can't wait till she starts splashing (or can I?).
Wed 10/7/09: I watched "Early Edition" episodes this evening while nursing Lizzy. It was nice being lazy.
Thu 10/8/09: I went to the YW activity tonight. We played Jeopardy using the Strength of the Youth pamphlet for our trivial questions. Our team won!
Fri 10/9/09: I made my homemade chili tonight. Emma was extremely happy! Chili is Emma's favorite "Fall food." Love this time of year!
Sat 10/10/09: I put three baby rats on hold today from a rattery in West Valley. It was hard picking which ones we should get, but we finally made up our minds. They are going to be CUTE!
Sun 10/11/09: I gave a YW lesson today on Knowledge. It turned out well, and I'm glad it's over!
Mon 10/12/09: We are having a fun time reading E. Nesbit's novel, "The Five Children and It." We are reading it for our bedtime story every night as a family.
Tue 10/13/09: I felt so much happier today than yesterday. I think Brad lavishing me with extra attention last night really helped. I thought about him all day. I love my husband!
Wed 10/14/09: Brad and I went on a date to Jamba Juice tonight and watched "Last Chance Harvey" at home while slurping our lovely smoothies. Yummy!
Thu 10/15/09: I took pictures of Emma and Lizzy tonight. Lizzy was wearing the Halloween shirt Emma made for her.
Fri 10/16/09: Tonight I went with Brad and Lizzy to Brad's volleyball game. Brad's team won the last two games.
Sat 10/17/09: Lizzy had her first solid food tonight: rice cereal. She thought it had a funny texture and kept spitting it out of her mouth. Typical baby behavior. She is growing up so fast!
Sun 10/18/09: Today was Stake Conference. It was nice having more time in the afternoon to relax and spend time with family. I made some yummy BBQ steak for dinner.
Mon 10/19/09: We went to the library for FHE tonight and then had a lesson on "Graditude." I am planning FHE lessons around topics from the "For the Strength of the Youth" pamphlet.
Tue 10/20/09: Scott painted his Mad Hatter hat a darker forest green to match his costume. It looks fantastic! He's very happy with it.
Wed 10/21/09: I watched a good movie today called "Back When We Were Grown-ups." It was very different than the average movie, and I enjoyed it.
Thu 10/22/09: Brad was home today to get ready for the U2 trip. We went shopping together and then had some nice alone time at home. I love spending time with him!
Fri 10/23/09: We saw U2 perform live in Las Vegas today! It was my first rock concert. A-MAZ-ING!
Sat 10/24/09: We had breakfast with Rachel and Craig before driving home to Utah. I'm glad things worked out so perfectly with them coming to Las Vegas the same time as us! It was wonderful having them watch Lizzy while we were at the concert, and that we had conjoined hotel rooms. It was perfect!
Sun 10/25/09: Sister Clark made us a very yummy dinner tonight. I need to get the recipe for her yummy tuna and spinach pie. So, so good!
Mon 10/26/09: We finally got our family pictures done! Hooray! Lizzy was pretty fussy unfortunately, but I'm crossing my fingers that some of the photos turned out well. Can't wait to see them!
Tue 10/27/09: Brad's meeting tonight was very productive, and I'm very happy about that. Also, today was the first snow of the season! It was very pretty seeing all the snow on the newly fallen leaves outside.
Wed 10/28/09: Brad and I did some major shopping tonight at Sams Club and Walmart. The refrigerator downstairs is completely packed with milk. I hope we'll drink it all before the expiration dates.
Thu 10/29/09: This morning I went to Scott's and Emma's Halloween Parade, which was fun! In the afternoon, the kids and I drove to West Valley and picked up three adorable rats from a rat breeder. They are so CUTE! In the evening we went to our ward's Halloween Party, where we played games, ate candy apples, and decorated cookies.
Fri 10/30/09: Today was Del Sol's Halloween Party. We all got dressed up and headed over to the corporate building. We went trick-or-treating with the kids and saw a lot of really neat costume ideas.
Sat 10/31/09: Brad and Scott did baptisms for the dead this morning at the new temple. In the evening we went to Bruce and Loralee's house for trick-or-treating. We had a very nice Halloween!
