Halloween!

For Halloween we went to the Burns' house for spooky food and yummy mummy potion. Then we went trick or treating around the neighborhood. Mila had so much fun.

Mila and Anna...hey they're both smiling!

All the kids are ready to go...

Mila is discussing something with Emma...aka Luna Lovegood.

I love this picture.

At the end of the night...we were tired, but happy. It was a great night. I love my little bug.

A Pumpkin Poem

Mila learned this adorable poem at preschool. She forgot a few of the lines on this take, but it was so cute I had to post it. Have I mentioned I love this kid?

More Halloween fun!

Yes, Mila has two costumes. For Preschool Mila was a leopard. She was very excited for the whiskers on her face. After Preschool we went ice skating again, and then we carved pumpkins, drank hot chocolate and watched Monster vs. Aliens(a halloween special--not the movie). It was a good day. Mila kept asking me if we were going to "shave the pumpkins." And she was so excited to go get me a butter knife to shave the pumpkin. It was a perfect fall/pre-halloween day.

Her little pumpkin...she drew what she wanted carved.

Helping mommy...she was in charge of scooping.

Our finished products... a little amateur but not a bad first effort.

Hot Chocolate...Yum.

Law School Halloween party

On October 29th the Law School had its annual Halloween Party. Mila has been excited about this since the last one. I have class at 10 so Mila watched class with me in a family support room. After class we went to the party and ate Pizza. Everyone in costume paraded in the front of the room...I had no intention of going up there, but once Mila saw a few of our friends up there she said "Why aren't we going up there?" I was surprised she actually wanted to go, so we went up front so she could show off her costume. After that we went trick or treating in the carrels. Mila got a ton of candy and a balloon dog. She had a blast!

My bumblebee!

BYU Homecoming Parade

Last Saturday, Mila and I walked in the BYU Homecoming Parade. The Law School had two groups and one of them was the children of law students. Mila had so much fun waving and throwing tootsie rolls to the kids. It was really fun...until I had to push Mila up the hill to get back to our car. I was exhausted...we both were.

Representing BYU Law School!

Fall Fun

Mila loves playing in the leaves in the fall. She has so much fun and I have fun taking her picture. I realized I take the most pictures during the fall. There are just so many good opportunities, and I love the fall!

Pre-Sunbeams

On Sunday, Mila started going to pre-sunbeams so she can get ready to start Primary in January. Nobody warned me that I would have to drop her off at the Primary room. I can't believe she is getting so big...I almost cried. I thought I had three months before she would be out of nursery. I don't know what I am going to do when she goes to Kindergarten...she is growing up so fast. She was so excited to be in Primary and she looked so grown up sitting in her chair next to her friend Anna. I think she likes it...She spoke proudly about going into the "room with no toys."
