Whitney was really fussy tonight, so I decided to dress her up in her costume for next year and place her in front of a mirror. Surprisingly, she LOVED it! She looked in the mirror and started to laugh! It was really cute!

V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N!

Justin and I have not been on a trip since we got married, so we finally did! We thought that Whitney was old enough now that we wanted to get away; not to far but far enough. So we stayed at a themed hotel, Destinations Inn, in the Hawaii Suite! It was amazing! Then the next day we went down to Lava Hot Springs! Far enough but not to far...PERFECT! I want to give a BIG THANK YOU to Suzanne! She drove all the way over from Boise to watch Whitney for us! On Thursday, we went to dinner at Texas Road House. We both got steak dinners with mashed potatoes and steak fries. We went to Target, JC Penny and Payless Shoe to get a few things and look for a few Christmas items. Then we went to our Hawaii room! We were so excited! It was like being in Hawaii! Our bed area was like a little cabana and we would walk out on to the beach. It was so awesome! We had breakfast delivered to our door and it was really good. Then we got ready and left paradise! Then we went to Once Upon A Child and then to Kohls...more Christmas shopping and looking. We then left for Lava Hot Springs. We got to check into our hotel at 1:30 instead of 3. That was really nice. We went to lunch and then we to the hot springs. They were really nice. After we were there about 1 hour we decided to go back to the hotel. When we got back we watched some TV and then soaked in the jacuzzi that actually had the water from the hot springs. It was really nice! On Saturday, we met Andrew, Anna, Jacob, Suzanne and Whitney in Blackfoot at Grandma's and Grandpa's house. We had lunch with them and help Grandma get some things done. After that we went over to the Lyman's house and had dinner with them. It was so fun to visit and have a delicious dinner with them! After all of this reading....here are some pictures!

SNOW!!!

On Monday, it started snowing! In fact, it snowed ALL day! I decided to bundle Whitney up and take her outside, one of her favorite places to be! She LOVED it! I took a few pictures. She even ate snow for the first time. All in all we both had a blast! Enjoy the pics!

All Bundled! Boots and all!

Happy as can be to be outside!

I absolutely love this picture!

Time for Church

I had a Visiting Teaching interview on Sunday before church so I came home and Justin had Whitney all ready to go! I took photos of this wonderful event!

Quack, Quack, Quack

This is Whitney laughing at me quacking at her...well the tail end of it anyways! Sorry it is dark...

I took Whitney to Nature Park today to feed the ducks some leftover waffles that were stale. There were about 30 ducks and about 7 geese there and they swarmed around the stroller and she just laughed and laughed. So I was asking her to tell Justin about the ducks. I started to quack at her and she just started to laugh so hard! So this is towards the end...but she is still laughing...kinda! Enjoy!

Halloween Dinner

Andrew, Anna, Jacob, John John, Tiffany, Justin, Whitney and I went out to Loriann and Delwyn's place in Driggs for dinner. It was delicious! We had ribs (amazing!), with salad and jello. We had Boo Juice, really yummy! For dessert, we had caramel brownies and reese's brownie things! Everything was really yummy! Here are a few pics! (P.S. my new goal is blog more often....I know it keeps Whitney J. entertained! :D Love ya!)

Yes she is playing with a diaper! She loves to chew on them.

It was her first Halloween! Aunt Nanny bought the pumpkin socks for her!

She just loves her daddy!

Whitney's first Halloween!

Tonight was so fun! We went to our ward Halloween party and we got to play dress up! Whitney was a Ute Cheerleader and we were her fans/supportive parents. We had a blast! We didn't go trick or treating this year but we will most definitely go next year! We love you little cheerleader!
