First Snow

Today we had the first real snow fall of the season. We have several inches and it is still coming down. Eleanor absolutely loves it! I won't let her play in it since she doesn't have a proper coat and boots yet, but she loves to try to catch the snowflakes.

Election Day

I don't like to talk politics. I'm not as informed as I should be and it gets uncomfortable. I do however love that I live in a country where I can vote for the candidate that I feel will best benefit the people and the country. Kevin and I sent in our absentee ballots last week so we wouldn't have to worry about making it to the polls today. What an honor and a privilege.

I know a lot of people may not agree with who I voted for, but I am proud to support Mitt Romney for President. Not because I am a Mormon, but because I strongly believe he is an honest man who has a better chance of turning this economy around. I was laid off TWICE under the administration of Obama and it is time for someone else to give it a try. I don't doubt that Obama had high hopes for improving the economy, but obviously his approach is not working.

I hope everyone takes the time to exercise their vote today. It truly is an honor and a privilege.

First Ponytail

I don't know why I haven't done it before, but I finally put Ellie's hair in a ponytail today. It lasted about 5 mins before she yanked it out, but cute nonetheless.

Getting Dressed

Last week Eleanor decided she wanted to put her dress back on herself. She played like this for a good 20 minutes or so. She cracks me up.

All Hallows' Eve

Eleanor dressed up as Little Red Riding Hood for her First Halloween and I think she made a pretty darn adorable one! I dressed her up for the whole day so I could be sure to get my money's worth out of the costume. And I had to take lots of pictures, of course! Hope everyone has a Safe and Happy Halloween!

We attended an awesome Halloween party a couple weekends ago and we won "Best Couple/Group Costume"

Happy Half Birthday, Dear Kevin!

Today is Kevin's Half Birthday and I thought it would be fun to surprise him by celebrating tonight. He came home to a few decorations, a basketball cake, his favorite food - tacos, and a small gift.

I love him so much and wish I could more for him. He does so much for me. Ellie and I are so blessed to have him take care of us each and every day. Happy Half Birthday, Kev!

Pumpkin Patch

We ventured down to Red Barn down in Santaquin this afternoon and took some adorable pictures of Ellie in the pumpkin patch. Here are just a few of my favorites.

If you live in there area and you have never been, you have to go! The apple cider donuts and the fresh apple juice are amazing! The cost is $4/person M-TH and $5/person F-S. The cost includes a hayride to the pumpkin patch that also has a slide and a maze.
