Thanksgiving was great this year. Since my parents moved to Boise we weren't sure how the whole holiday thing would work, but Erika (Adam's sister) was tired of doing the "Thanksgiving Shuffle" every year so her and Chris invited over all of the Warr's and anyone's "other side" of the family that lives in town. It was a big crowd, but a fun one!</div>

I had made a "Little Red Riding Hood" cape a couple of years ago and have been determined to have all the girls wear it for Halloween because it took me so long to make it. I told Adam that Penny was going to be little Red and that he should be the big bad wolf. Evie immediately said "I want to be the big bad wolf" and she never changed her mind. She was so excited about her costume. She is the wolf dressed in grandma's clothes!</div>

Adam came home from work one day saying that he thought of the best present for my dad and brother. That's right...a grill! It was a big hit!</div>

(Evie loves pancakes so we made some for her birthday breakfast. My mom made one in the shape of the number 2. Alona's boyfriend, Robert, saw that Evie hadn't eaten all of her pancakes and said something along the lines of "Evie don't forget to eat your number 2". My mom about died laughing! It was the favorite quote of the week)</div>

For Christmas two years ago Alona got us all Maui Pine shirts. She got one for Robert and Penny this year. We decided to do a little photo shoot. I know that it isn't the best lighting, but we didn't want to go outside and we wanted a pretty background! (Pay attention to my Dad's grill!)</div>

We bought our couches on craigslist not long after we were married. We've really loved them, but I've always wanted them to be dark. When we moved into our new house the couches were so close to the wall color that I finally decided to research what it would take to dye a leather couch. I found "<a href="http://www.vinylladies.com/Products.html">Rub N' Restore"</a> from the Vinyl Ladies and bought it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my couch before (the love seat looked just like this). You can't tell, but they were pretty weathered. We bought them from a family who had lots of kids and Evie has done her fair share of drooling on them!</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the finished product. I am so happy with how they turned out. (Once again, the love seat looks the same...I just didn't get very good pictures). </div>

Here's a brief run down of our lives since I last blogged!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-R9cJXBCmzfU/UPB7730qcxI/AAAAAAAAC5s/EVihlDJGnG8/s1600/IMG_7672.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-R9cJXBCmzfU/UPB7730qcxI/AAAAAAAAC5s/EVihlDJGnG8/s320/IMG_7672.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Halloween came and went. It was one of the most enjoyable Halloween's for me...mostly because of Evie. She had so much fun...and I had fun watching her!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pSqZDYFKuoA/UPB8HI17PoI/AAAAAAAAC50/AFqUty-xBnA/s1600/IMG_7699.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pSqZDYFKuoA/UPB8HI17PoI/AAAAAAAAC50/AFqUty-xBnA/s320/IMG_7699.jpg" width="212" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She was "Little Red Riding Hood" this year. I knit the hood for her. I started making it for her for last Halloween and quickly realized it was going to take me a LONG time to make. I persevered and hoped that it would fit in a year....luckily it did!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She ran around and around our yard. The real fun came with Trick or Treating. She was in heaven. We walked around our neighborhood and then went to our ward Trunk or Treat. Evie helped me pass out the candy at our house before we left. When she finally got to go, she kept trying to give her candy to the people at the houses where we were trick or treating. When she finally caught on that she got to keep her candy, she was thrilled. She didn't like candy much before, but she loves it now...dang it!</div>

Penny was a little mermaid. I did not make her tail...April, the master, knit that for her. I loved it. She's the cutest little mermaid I ever saw.</div>

Our first Placerville trip in the snow. We had a little sled that my parents got at a yard sale and Evie loved it. We pulled her around until she got too cold. When she warmed up, she wanted to go again. She still talks about "the cabin".</div>

The Jorgensen's went with us. Their little girls are so cute. I sure am glad they are in Boise. Hilary has been my saving grace. It's always nice to move someplace where you have a friend.</div>

Our FHE activity the other night was decorating graham crackers. (I haven't even tried to tackle the gingerbread houses) Evie loved the M&M's. It was fun to watch her place them on the frosting and then quickly take them off and eat them. She was proud of her creation.</div>

So, I guess our big news is...We Bought a HOUSE! Here she is! We really love this house. It was built in the late 70's and is cedar. The back lot is .42 acres. We love our back yard, and will love it even more in the summer when we can enjoy it. We signed our lives away on November 15th and moved in on the 17th. It was a whirlwind. I still get a little homesick for our place in Meridian. I loved that house, and that neighborhood, and our neighbors and our ward....but I love it here too. We get to have Adam home for almost an hour more a day because we cut off his commute time. It makes it all worth it!</div>

Oh...and the house came with a hot tub! We're loving it...but aren't convinced that we will keep it. We got our first electric bill and Evie may not be able to go to college now. We'll enjoy it while we have it, though! Evie loves it and always asks for the "hot tub".</div>

I had to add this little gem. This was the sunrise on my Dad's birthday...12.21.12 I wasn't quite sure if it was fire and the end of the world, or just a pretty sunrise. Thank goodness it was the latter!</div>

This post has been a long time in coming. Here are a few snippets of the happenings around here for the last 4 months.</div>

The next few pictures were supposed to be at the bottom, so forgive me for them being out of order. My sister came to visit last week and got this cute little one of Penny...who has recently started rolling over! She is such a smiley baby.</div>

Evie got sick on the way to the corn maze, but was a trooper. She threw up all over her shirt and jacket. All I had was one of Penny's onesies. We put in on Evie and tucked it in and put her vest on over that.</div>

Evie's new favorite thing in the whole world is ELMO!! She loves him. She would watch that video all day and night if I let her. She loves to sing and dance to the theme song for Elmo's world! (Videos are below!)</div>

We go on a walk almost every day. When Penny was really little I'd put her in the sling and she'd fall right asleep. When we would get home, Evie would wear it and carry around her baby! She's a cute little Mama!</div>

Adam wanted to have a Halloween party for the kids that he teaches in primary. I was all for it. Any chance I get to make fun food and dress up I'll take! I made the kids these Harry Potter wands. We had the kids cast a spell on their drink to change it a different color with their wand. I just put a drop or two of food coloring in the bottom of their cup and let it dry and then put ice over that. When they cast the spell and poured the Sprite it came out different colors. It's easy to impress kids!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
On Monday night around midnight I started having contractions...the real deal. I had braxton hicks for about a week. These were painful, so I assumed that things were progressing. I almost woke Adam up and told him to be ready, but he was in the other room (because of my snoring!), and I didn't want to go get him! The contractions were far enough apart that I wasn't too worried. They continued all morning on Tuesday (the 15th)...and they were starting to get bad. Around noon we went and got our neighbor to help Adam give me a blessing and then we were off. My mom was in town, so Evie stayed at home with her. When we were on our way my contractions got farther apart. They were consistently about 6-8 minutes apart. I was annoyed! We stopped at Sonic for some drinks in hopes of things going faster. It didn't help. We went to the hospital anyway. They said that they would check things out before they admitted me. I was already dilated to 5 centimeters. They admitted me at 1:20 and I had an epidural within an hour...thank heavens! The epidural was way stronger than the one I had with Evie. I couldn't feel a thing. It was good and bad. I liked being able to tell what was going on with Evie without all the pain. Soon after the epidural they checked me again and I was at an 8.5. They broke my water and started getting ready for the baby to come! Once I started pushing, Penny was here in 8 minutes! She was born at 5:21. Things went much more smoothly this time around!</div>

I found this little kiddie pool and got it for Evie. It is a big hit! She had more fun climbing in and out than she did just playing in the water!</div>

I've been wanting to go to the zoo since we moved down here. We finally did it! I was so excited to take Evie because she loves animals, but she didn't love it as much as I hoped she would. I guess there isn't much difference between real life and tv yet!</div>

We finally made it to the temple a few weeks ago. The Boise temple is closed so we have to go to Twin Falls. It was a beautiful temple. I'm sad I didn't take a picture. Shoshone Falls is really close, so we headed there after. They were pretty impressive.</div>

Adam took a landscaping job while he was looking for a "real" job, and was quite impressed with his own pruning skills. He pruned the heck out of all the plants!

Here are a few pictures of here most recent activities!</div><div><br /></div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0bO97b9nC6w/TnEbGPMgOGI/AAAAAAAACX8/lg7KLCsvZFQ/s1600/IMG_6609.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0bO97b9nC6w/TnEbGPMgOGI/AAAAAAAACX8/lg7KLCsvZFQ/s320/IMG_6609.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652328801298823266" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Evie loves bath time! I recently bought some toys for the tub. She loves the little octopus. She puts the whole head in her mouth (which I am surprised fits). One of the tentacles often ends up up her nose...she doesn't mind!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jxHowO-_I1I/TnEbFvRV0gI/AAAAAAAACX0/11aPvMvwvRY/s1600/IMG_6614.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jxHowO-_I1I/TnEbFvRV0gI/AAAAAAAACX0/11aPvMvwvRY/s320/IMG_6614.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652328792729178626" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">She can almost escape the tub now that she can stand up by herself. She's reaching for my leg in this picture.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oECUjM3XfFY/TnEbFa-cUuI/AAAAAAAACXs/amP0kNvWLs0/s1600/IMG_6615.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oECUjM3XfFY/TnEbFa-cUuI/AAAAAAAACXs/amP0kNvWLs0/s320/IMG_6615.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652328787281203938" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">We were having rice for dinner last Sunday. Evie loved it! She couldn't get enough of that stuff.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Z7MoNxhhb_c/TnEarT9W_tI/AAAAAAAACXk/Nx_jJhyhnoI/s1600/IMG_6619.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Z7MoNxhhb_c/TnEarT9W_tI/AAAAAAAACXk/Nx_jJhyhnoI/s320/IMG_6619.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652328338721013458" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Only problem was, it stuck to her like crazy. She looked like she was wearing fuzzy white mittens. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--sz2WyhtApU/TnEaqw1LghI/AAAAAAAACXc/VhH7dDk6j7g/s1600/IMG_6620.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--sz2WyhtApU/TnEaqw1LghI/AAAAAAAACXc/VhH7dDk6j7g/s320/IMG_6620.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652328329291465234" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">It kept her busy for a long time trying to eat it all off of her hands.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N3jwjkvXO5M/TnEaqVudVgI/AAAAAAAACXU/RxC0B5mAjWs/s1600/IMG_6624.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N3jwjkvXO5M/TnEaqVudVgI/AAAAAAAACXU/RxC0B5mAjWs/s320/IMG_6624.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652328322015516162" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Now that she has discovered that she can stand up by herself, she stands up everywhere. She gets so proud of herself. She was using the refrigerator to stand up today. Everyday its something new!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--RGkPYylpZc/TnEaovCJI5I/AAAAAAAACXM/yXKFE8XmsA8/s1600/IMG_6625.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--RGkPYylpZc/TnEaovCJI5I/AAAAAAAACXM/yXKFE8XmsA8/s320/IMG_6625.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652328294449226642" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">I apologize for this picture...I just couldn't resist. She has had a runny nose for the last week. Her snot is so sticky! She sneezed the other day and this is what came out! It was a little deflated at this point too! Wow!...is all I could say. I'm just glad I got a picture before it popped!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yDJOtQg78VY/TnEaoA0AT_I/AAAAAAAACXE/sEBr3M1FAZc/s1600/IMG_6626.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yDJOtQg78VY/TnEaoA0AT_I/AAAAAAAACXE/sEBr3M1FAZc/s320/IMG_6626.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652328282041896946" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Evie has a special love for plants. She loves to eat leaves. I had this plant on the floor, but Evie would often tear the leaves off and eat them or knock it over. I gave up and put it up higher on a little bench. It worked for a while, but now that she can pull herself up, the plant is no longer safe. She pulled it right down. I was making dinner when I heard the crash. I came around the corner to see this. Don't worry she ate some dirt before I could stop her!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I love that little sweetie! She's so fun...</div>Susannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17097369574897550224noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1371567892753010445.post-38598585902173342742011-09-14T14:05:00.001-07:002011-09-14T14:15:09.516-07:00Projects<div style="text-align: center;">Nap time should be a restful time for me too. Sometimes I try to nap, but usually I have some project that I am working on. Here are a few of my recent projects! I really like making stuff!</div><div><br /></div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XE0Sj1qMcTc/TnEX5f988ZI/AAAAAAAACW8/bHeWa16hLEQ/s1600/IMG_6586.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XE0Sj1qMcTc/TnEX5f988ZI/AAAAAAAACW8/bHeWa16hLEQ/s320/IMG_6586.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652325283928011154" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Chocolate Bowls!!! Who would have thought. The idea came from Bakerella. They were so fun and easy to make. You just melt chocolate and dip a balloon in it. Let it dry and viola! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-imh568J4VGw/TnEX5BIGPyI/AAAAAAAACW0/ufwHIYs8FzA/s1600/IMG_6590.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-imh568J4VGw/TnEX5BIGPyI/AAAAAAAACW0/ufwHIYs8FzA/s320/IMG_6590.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652325275649064738" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">I also made chocolate peanut butter pudding from scratch. It turned out pretty tasty too! What a fun dessert!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_tILWailACI/TnEXp8Yn4XI/AAAAAAAACWs/qDnzz2KcKSQ/s1600/IMG_6622.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_tILWailACI/TnEXp8Yn4XI/AAAAAAAACWs/qDnzz2KcKSQ/s320/IMG_6622.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652325016678162802" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Adam and I have decided that for Family Home Evening for the next month or so we are going to visit all the new people in his ward to make sure we know who they are. You can't show up empty handed, right? I made blackberry crisp and put it in half pint jars. I think they're adorable!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xObpG313TKc/TnEXpTGlo7I/AAAAAAAACWk/LrAE9bQyaxo/s1600/IMG_6623.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xObpG313TKc/TnEXpTGlo7I/AAAAAAAACWk/LrAE9bQyaxo/s320/IMG_6623.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652325005596664754" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">I just hope they tasted good too!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3vZW6uiMkKA/TnEXpa-YaJI/AAAAAAAACWc/rnNiqvQNYNM/s1600/IMG_6627.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3vZW6uiMkKA/TnEXpa-YaJI/AAAAAAAACWc/rnNiqvQNYNM/s320/IMG_6627.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652325007709726866" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">My last project is these blocks. My friend April gave me some foam that she didn't want to throw away. For months I would look at that foam, but have no idea what to do with it. I finally decided to cut them into blocks. I didn't have anything for Evie to stack. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--NMRu4heCBY/TnEXpMbxVjI/AAAAAAAACWU/GqnvhMUMNRs/s1600/IMG_6629.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--NMRu4heCBY/TnEXpMbxVjI/AAAAAAAACWU/GqnvhMUMNRs/s320/IMG_6629.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652325003806463538" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">I decided to put letters on them for future use! Evie really like knocking them over!</div>Susannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17097369574897550224noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1371567892753010445.post-51116389341941522272011-09-14T13:54:00.001-07:002011-09-14T14:03:50.873-07:00Labor Day Weekend<div style="text-align: center;">We had a really fun Labor Day weekend. On Friday, two of Adam's sisters, Whitney & Erika, came for a visit. They were heading to the DMB concert at the Gorge. We're glad they came early to stay with us.</div><div><br /></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uBFvYQajxfE/TnEVRoKBuKI/AAAAAAAACWM/qfOYtNQJnvw/s1600/IMG_6591.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uBFvYQajxfE/TnEVRoKBuKI/AAAAAAAACWM/qfOYtNQJnvw/s320/IMG_6591.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652322399908116642" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">On Saturday the Warr kids went and rode the Hiawatha Trail. Evie and I stayed home to hold the fort down. They had a good time with only a few minor incidents!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DIfXF-sUTfc/TnEVRSSgyNI/AAAAAAAACWE/8IQr6OwL4mw/s1600/IMG_6594.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DIfXF-sUTfc/TnEVRSSgyNI/AAAAAAAACWE/8IQr6OwL4mw/s320/IMG_6594.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652322394038126802" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">We spent Sunday morning playing with little Evie before Erika and Whitney headed off. It was so fun seeing them! We love visitors!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PCjeAuWnwuI/TnEVRGDRvDI/AAAAAAAACV8/IHMDvyO2azE/s1600/IMG_6597.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PCjeAuWnwuI/TnEVRGDRvDI/AAAAAAAACV8/IHMDvyO2azE/s320/IMG_6597.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652322390753000498" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">On Monday we headed to Elk River to do some huckleberry picking. I think we went out too late in the season. We didn't get nearly as many as we did last year. We had enough for some delicious pancakes though. Evie was loving picking the leaves and I only fell down once!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gNfoQqNxRps/TnEVQ0ynpvI/AAAAAAAACV0/2ZjzxREh7qM/s1600/IMG_6600.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gNfoQqNxRps/TnEVQ0ynpvI/AAAAAAAACV0/2ZjzxREh7qM/s320/IMG_6600.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652322386119730930" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">After we picked for a while, Adam went fishing and Evie and I hung out in the shade. Try as I might to keep her away from the dirt, she found a way to eat it! If only she liked baby food as much.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6xuhjJziZFY/TnEVQi1HAJI/AAAAAAAACVs/tAtkiK1_05k/s1600/IMG_6604.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6xuhjJziZFY/TnEVQi1HAJI/AAAAAAAACVs/tAtkiK1_05k/s320/IMG_6604.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652322381298335890" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">We saw this old barn or mill or whatever it is. It was really pretty and scenic! We stopped and ate lunch at a little cafe and then headed home to host Family Home Evening with some of the single's ward folks! It was a great weekend!</div>Susannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17097369574897550224noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1371567892753010445.post-73608074533688798832011-08-16T10:31:00.001-07:002011-08-16T13:35:26.935-07:00Maui<div style="text-align: center;">A few years back my whole family got Hawaiian Airlines credit cards. We've all be saving our airline miles. We finally all had enough miles for a free trip to Hawaii. My parents had time share in Kauai so we were set! After making plans, we decided that we couldn't go to Hawaii and not go to Maui. My little family and my sister headed over before everyone else and spent a few days in Maui. My cousin and her husband lived on Maui (they just moved to Oahu) and were nice enough to let us stay with them ... even in the midst of their move.</div><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UXrDttoxyu4/TkquFTSL7VI/AAAAAAAACUM/xmD1mN1KT9k/s1600/IMG_3288.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UXrDttoxyu4/TkquFTSL7VI/AAAAAAAACUM/xmD1mN1KT9k/s320/IMG_3288.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5641512889334099282" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">We just boarded the plane in Seattle. Maui, here we come!</div><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Hm1lwbUobps/TkquFId1KZI/AAAAAAAACUE/vpdtlZGi1m4/s1600/IMG_7475.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Hm1lwbUobps/TkquFId1KZI/AAAAAAAACUE/vpdtlZGi1m4/s320/IMG_7475.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5641512886430149010" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">We got into Maui about around 1:30 local time. By the time we made it to my cousin's house and got settled in, it was around 4:30...which happens to be 7:30 in Moscow. We couldn't not do anything, so we headed to Twin Falls. Evie was a little tuckered out since it was around her bedtime, but she did great!</div><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pue0gsLWtrs/TkquE9Ij0FI/AAAAAAAACT8/V0vkQ-c7df8/s1600/IMG_7477.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pue0gsLWtrs/TkquE9Ij0FI/AAAAAAAACT8/V0vkQ-c7df8/s320/IMG_7477.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5641512883388141650" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">It was even more fun that our friend from Houston met us in Maui. She was on the homeward bound part of her around the world in 47 days trip. </div><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LQ8VWgn9YV4/TkquEgf0jDI/AAAAAAAACT0/b8150fmPet4/s1600/IMG_7483.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LQ8VWgn9YV4/TkquEgf0jDI/AAAAAAAACT0/b8150fmPet4/s320/IMG_7483.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5641512875701079090" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">We did some cliff jumping and swimming in the fresh water. It was very refreshing after a day of traveling.</div><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hzOoX6gfcBs/TkqtmZ5juPI/AAAAAAAACTs/FUW71JlRMC0/s1600/IMG_2925.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hzOoX6gfcBs/TkqtmZ5juPI/AAAAAAAACTs/FUW71JlRMC0/s320/IMG_2925.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5641512358533904626" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">The next morning, Adam, Alona, and Katherine went to Haleakela to watch the sun rise.
