Halloween

This year for Halloween Keilani was Little Red Riding Hood. My sister Brooke made Keilani an adorable hooded cape for her costume. Our ward had their Halloween party on Tuesday and Keilani got her first dose of trick or treating. She was so funny because she wouldn't say anything, so TG had to say trick-or-treat for her. She definitely enjoyed all the candy she got from it, a little too much.





On Friday we took Keilani trick or treating down Lehi Main Street. Most of the businesses sit outside and pass out candy to the trick-or-treaters. It was a lot of fun. Again, Keilani loved the candy and had WAY too much of it.

To top off the festivities we celebrated my mom's birthday today even though her actual birthday is tomorrow. Happy Birthday Mom!! Keilani and Cutler wore their costumes, but stayed in them for about 1 minute before they wanted them off. I'm mad because I didn't get a picture of both of them in their costumes.

I thought I would be brave and make my parent's famous triple layer chocolate cake from scratch. It turned out better than I thought it would and it was quite tasty. It definitely isn't the best looking cake, but oh well.

Of course Keilani loved the cake.

I love Fall!

I really have been a slacker when it comes to updating my blog, but I'm finally posting an update. October has been a great month so far. We've been loving this cooler weather. I just love that I don't wake up in the middle of the night sweating because it's so hot in our room. Keilani and I have taken advantage of living so close to Thanksgiving Point by going to Cornbelly's a few times already. Cornbelly's is the best. They have so many things for kids of all ages to do, I love it! Keilani continues to talk up a storm even if a lot of her words are not properly enunciated. I usually can understand everything that she says. It's been so nice to have her communicate with us and let us know what she wants. She is very independent and always wants to do everything on her own. She can have an attitude once in a while, but usually responds well to time outs and discipline.

I'm almost to my 31 week mark and can't believe that I only have a couple months left in this pregnancy. I'm definitely bigger than I was with Keilani at this point and I know I'm only going to get bigger, I can't wait :(. I'm feeling really good and not uncomfortable yet, so hopefully that lasts. I get pretty exhausted by the end of the day. By 10:00 pm I'm ready to zonk out which for me is very early compared to my normal bedtime (midnight).

TG has been staying busy with work. Keilani has become quite attached to him and will repeat "I want papa" all day long until he gets home. We usually call him a couple times a day to say hi. I love watching Keilani and TG play together. He's such a good dad and is definitely the "fun" parent, no wonder why Keilani is so attached.

Here are some pictures from Cornbelly's:

Keilani and one of her bffs, Gracie. My friend Heather took the picture,
so hopefully she doesn't mind that I stole it off her blog.

Gracie and Keilani LOVED these singing chickens.

Keilani on the little train ride.

Of course Keilani couldn't resist catching as many ducks as she could.


Keilani couldn't get enough of the bounce house.



And this is the little house that Keilani refused to come out of.
I finally was able to get her out after about 20 minutes.



And here are the long overdue belly shots.
