Breaking Dawn

Oh boy...

Saw it opening night with my mom and cute friend Megan.  I had a serious internal conflict about this movie.  I got really defensive when I heard people making fun of it but inside I was squirming because I knew they were right to make fun.

Basically, I loved slash hated it... but I will buy it when it comes out and watch it every day until further notice!  I can't help it!

Favorite part: Honeymoon.  DUUUH.

Least favorite: The wolves echo talking to eachother when they find out Bella is having a vampire baby. 

All in all, fun night with the girls!  Matt was so nice and offered to babysit, too.  So thoughtful, right?

All About Aubree

{22 Months}

-We feel that she changes so much every single day! 

-She got her 2 year old molars in.. the only hard thing about them was that she didn't

want to eat, but she was pretty good otherwise.  And they hurt too, poor thing.

-She always wants to go to the mall because they have a little play area for little kids.

She says "A mall, mama."  A girl after my own heart.

-She is starting to really like nursery. 

-She always wants to play with friends.

-She always talks about her Meme and Tami.  She loves her grandmas.

-She is obsessed with dancing.  We listen to the Tangled songs (and only the Tangled songs

to avoid a meltdown) and dance for a good hour!  I've taught her how to point her toes

and plie and twirl like a ballerina.  Cutest thing ever!

-We are trying to think of fun things to do when the weather is bad.  We have built forts, colored, done finger painting with pudding.. We will have to think of a lot more things to do!

-When the weather is nice, she loves to jump in the leaves that Dad worked so hard raking :)

-She hasn't ever attempted to climb out of her crib.  So we will see about putting her in a big girl bed once she's 2.

-We took her to the Monte Bean museum at BYU a few weeks ago.  It was actually really cool.  They had a ton of real stuffed animals and she loved it.. then got distracted by the stairs :)

-She is such a toddler now and such a blast!  We love the energy and spunk she brings into our family!





Happy Halloween!!

Aubree was Cinderella for Halloween this year.  We had just gotten home from St. George late the night before and didn't really go all out this year.  Aubree looked darling, but hopefully next year we will get a little more festive!  I wish she would have at least worn a bow.. Oh well.  We took her Trick-or-Treating to a few houses.  She loved all the candy people put in her Cinderella purse!

{Note to self: do not try to put make up on a 2 year old again.}

{Matt thought it was so cool someone dressed up as Darth Vader (Vador?)}

{Reaping the rewards}

Hope everyone had a fun Halloween!!

Pumpkins

The Zanders told us about a house in Orem selling a bunch of pumpkins, so we drove up to find us some to carve.  They had a ton and were cheap!  We each picked one out and were excited to start a little tradition with Aubree-- pumpkin carving.

We got home and got everything ready to go.  Matt and I even printed out awesome stencils.

{Aubree Grace LOVED painting her pumpkin!  Hers turned out better than her parents...}



The finished product.  Sad.  While we were carving with our steak knives, I was like "Matt, this isn't very fun."  We both started cracking up because we seriously botched our pumpkins.  Mine wasn't terrible, but still bad.  Matt tried to do a Gears of War carving which obviously didn't turn out haha- next year we will stick to paint or maybe use pumpkin carving knives!
