Aquarium
My parents bought an annual pass to the new Aquarium in Draper. We had never been and the girls were amazed at everything they saw. It will be fun to be able to go back anytime we want, especially during the cold winter months ahead. Thanks GG for a fun morning!

Pumpkin Time!
We let the girls paint a couple pumpkins before we carved our other two pumpkins. We grew all four of these pumpkins from our garden and surprisingly they were quite clean inside.
Benton carved the Spooky one for Cambree and I carved the Elmo one which is Addie's. Both turned out pretty cute! The girls are so excited for Halloween this week!

Leaves EVERYWHERE
Benton mowed our lawn yesterday, hoping to get rid of some of our leaves, but as soon as he finished it looked as though he never even did it. I guess thats what happens when you have a ton of trees in your yard.
The girls however didn't mind and loved throwing them around. They had leaves everywhere but at least they had fun.

Gardner Village
This past week we met up with my mom and sister at Gardner Village. The girls love to walk around and find all the witches. I forgot to let Cambree wear her witch costume so she was pretty upset with me most of the time until she got a cookie. Don't you just love this time of year? I do!
Trick or Treat
A few weeks ago we went with my mom trick or treating at This is the Place. It was good practice for the girls to say "Trick or Treat" well good practice for Cambree because Addie was too afraid. She barley would grab a piece of candy without turning around to come back to me.
For Halloween Cambree is being a witch. However this day she decided to wear one of her Princess costumes. She loved wearing makeup, I'm afraid she'll start asking to a little too soon.
Addie is going to be a kitty cat for Halloween. I love her meow, it sounds more like "mow", it's adorable...but then again, she could do pretty much anything and I would think it was adorable.
The girls both love riding the horses. Addie doesn't look like she's enjoying it but she's obsessed with horses, so this was a dream for her. I think they ended up riding them 3 different times.
Another highlight is the animals. If you can pet them, both my girls will. They both have NO FEAR...not sure if that's a good or bad thing.
It was a beautiful fall day spent outside. I'm trying to savor this wonderful weather as much as I can before winter hits...which I know is right around the corner.

Addie's 2 year old check-up
Addie went to the doctor this past week for her two year old check up.
Her stats:
Weight: 21.1 pounds-in the 0% for her age
Length: 33 inches-in the 20% for her age
Head: 17.75inches-in the 5% for her age
She's still little but otherwise healthy. She didn't have to get shots but she did get the flu mist.
A little bit about Addie at two years old:
When you ask her how old she is, she says "tree" aka three.
She takes one nap everyday from 1:30-4pm. And she goes to bed between 7:30-8pm and sleeps till about 7-7:30am.
Her favorite food: cheese pizza and loves her chocolate milk and apple juice
Loves playing: At the park, loves going down the slide.
She understands everything you say to her but she's a still a bit hard to understand. She has her own language.
Words she says:
Instead of saying she says...
Daddy-"dada"
Mommy-"mamma"
Cambree-"dam dam"
Roxy-"sasa"
Stop-"sta"
Go-"dough"
Ouch-"owa"
Nanny-"nana"
She has a TON of personality. She's pretty stubborn and will tell you how she really feels, even if you don't understand one thing she is saying. She is silly and is always making us laugh. But at the same time she is a cuddle bug. She loves to lay on you when she drinks her milk and loves to snuggle and rock when she goes to bed. If Cambree climbs on me, Addie will attempt to push her off so she can hug me, she's a bit territorial.
She is the sweetest little thing and we love having her in our family.

Midway
We went on our last camping trip this year this past weekend. We thankfully got the last available spot at the campground. The weather was beautiful, sunny, in the low 70's, perfect fall weather.
Midway is one of my favorite places to camp because it's gorgeous and so convenient. We arrived on Friday afternoon and left Sunday morning. We kept busy the whole time.
We let the girls play at the park one day for a bit. Slides always bring smiles to their faces.
We went fishing in the Uinta's at Lost Lake. It was a bit chilly but nice to be outdoors. Addie was exhausted afterwards and fell right asleep.
The girls love to just play at our trailer. The find things to do; play hide and seek, sweep up the leaves, find rocks and play with Roxy.
And campfires and marshmallows are a must!
We had such a good time together. I finally feel like I am getting a hang of camping and am a bit more relaxed. I am so thankful we were able to buy our trailer and spend weekends away with each other.
