Fall fun, & Family reunion 2017

Fall is here!!! My FAVORITE time of the year!!

Here are the highlights:

Ivy loves to pull herself up now to standing position.

She continues to be the happiest baby in the world!

The weather is finally cooling down! we were getting Cabin fever there for a while because it has been so hot. Can't wait for cooler afternoons!

I'e started to go for runs more often now and am hoping to run a 10K in December. Progress is much slower than pre-pregnancy, but that's okay.

My beautiful child! almost 9 months. (August)

I kept wondering where all the pacifiers were disappearing to...

I see 5 under the crib!!!

We experienced a solar eclipse August 2017!

Ivy has started sleeping on her side and moving all around in her crib now. Most of the time when I go to get her, she is standing in her crib waiting for me with a big smile!

She still loves bath time!

Ivy enjoys going to the store and riding in the cart. She hold on the bar very tight the whole time and doesn't let go!

I've been having some crazy digestive issues and have taken to drinking Kefir. It has already helped so much!!

Ivy enjoys eating baby food... hopefully she won't turn orange!

I met Stacey and the girls at Universal studios for the day. it was a great time of coarse!!

Jer went off Mountain biking with some friends again and Zack stayed with us for a few days.

The heat is back in full force uggghhhh!!!

Little monkey playing with dad when he gets home from work!

Her favorite spot in the bathroom... I have no idea why! Probably to trap me in the shower when I'm in there!

Mattie and Lexie met us in LA to go to a live recording of Americas got Talent.

SO FUN!

Ivy has been lifting herself up onto everything she can. She loves to stand up and is excited to show off her new tricks as soon as she wakes up in the morning by standing in her crib!

My little "helper" following me around wherever I go!

Ivy definitely likes people more than toys.

Drinking our bottles together!

Over Labor day weekend we decided to take a trip over to Santa Barbara to enjoy the cooler beach weather. We had a great time!

On our way back home to Bakersfield we stopped in to Solvang, CA to explore around.

It's a cute Dutch inspired town.

I have reached another stepping ston in the "stay-at-home-mom" world...

Lindsey taught me how to can pears!!!

Look at this naughty little face haha I love it!

 Ivy is 9 Months old now! August 20, 2017.
She has started to crawl and lift herself up more, click her tongue, clap her hands and growl on demand. She is slowly starting to get better at waving hello or goodbye too!

First time going to the park with mom and friends.

Sept 8, 2017

Nice hand hold Ivy!

September 14 came along and we traveled to Washington for the Warner family reunion.

Ivy's 10th plane ride!

A hike in Leavenworth.

I like this picture because she finally look a little more like my child!!

Back home to CA we go!

Still my little helper- especially in the kitchen!

She has started to open cupboards and throw everything out of them. It's actually really funny to me!

We had a fun "Amazing race" date night!

SEPTEMBER 30, 2017

Jeremy's Golden 30th birthday!

It was conference weekend and I surprised him with some cake, foods he likes, friends and a game of poker! He won!

My mom and dad came down to visit on Oct 3rd!

We went to the beach, temple, Universal studios, shooting, to a broadway musical, out to eat, the zoo, go kart racing and shopping. It was a great time!

October-FRIDAY- 13th

Lindsey hosted a murder mystery evening.

We had a great time!

I have joined beach body on demand and am trying to lose weight by the time Ivy turns 1!

#goals

Tissues and toilet paper are Ivy's new favorite toys!!

We have been getting into the Fall spirit!

Decorated sugar cookies, went to the pumpkin patch and through a maze.

A little sashimi for dinner please!!

Ward trunk or treat.

Roger, Anita and their cutest Dalmatian puppy!!

I'm loving decorating!!

On Oct 30th, "Hallows Eve" Leslie Wilson threw an amazing "Zombie Ball" It was awesome!!

Aimee Cooper did mine and Lindsey's makeup and we looked legit!!

Ivy has been growing !4! teeth all at the same time. Poor thing has been pretty miserable but still has her happy bouts!

We enjoyed watching Stranger things and Sleepy Hallow to spook us for halloween and hand out Candy. That wrapped up October for us and now It's on to November!!!

That means birthday and Thanksgiving time!!!

ps. Isn't this rainbow roll the prettiest!!
