Fall Festivities

We have had a really great week down here! I feel like I have so much to be thankful for in my life! This past week I went for an interview and got a job at Gritman Medical Hospital. I will be working an evening shift every Monday and will be on call some nights and weekends. I am just waiting to have all of the paperwork processed with HR and then I will start working!
This week Daniel and I were also able to go on not one but TWO dates! It was so much fun. The first night we had a banquet for Daniel's school that we went to and the other night we attended a BBQ that had dance lessons after. We had a really great time and my toes aren't even that sore!
And of course listening to General Conference is always an amazing experience. I feel so blessed to have the gospel in my life and for all of the inspired talks that were given.
Lyza has been very busy sprouting more teeth! She is now working on tooth #7! One of the things she likes the most to soothe her sore little gums is frozen freezies. She munches on these until they get nice and slushy.

 Lyza's favorite activity is looking at her books. We spend a lot of time everyday looking through all of her books. She loves to point at the pictures and babble away about them.

 Isn't she looking SO grown up?

 Daniel had a busy day yesterday at school. So after the morning session of conference Lyza and I met up with some of the other ladies from our ward to go to Harvest Fest at WSU's Organic Farm. We had a great time walking around and looking at everything.

 Here we are on the hay ride.

 Our little farm girl liked checking out her new surroundings.

Bailey always enjoys playing with Lyza and was trying to share her pumpkin with her.

 Quinn and Lyza playing with their baby pumpkins.

 After we were done walking through the pumpkin patch we headed over to the apple orchard!

 Lyza was pretty excited about all of the yummy apples!

 She kept on trying to eat them but would only chew on the stems.

Looks like she has a new best friend :)

 Look Mom! I got the lid off of my puffs and dumped them all over the back of the car! ..........no wonder she was being so quiet on the drive home.

 Lyza's expression cracks me up in this picture. This was taken during General Conference. We all stayed in our pj's for the majority of the day. Lyza played with her books and I know it looks like I am cuddled up sleeping but I was actually binding my quilt.

 Speaking of my quilt......I finally finished it today! Last fall I bought all of this fabric to make a quilt and then it sat in a box all year. I guess I got a little busy with having a baby and a few other things :) So when I got a new fancy sewing machine for my birthday this year I decided I had better sew a quilt and here is the final result!

 

I got the idea from pinterest (of course) and did the quilting on my sewing machine. 

 After Conference today we decided to get out and enjoy the nice weather. We drove over to campus and went for a nice walk.

 I'm so lucky to have these two :)

 The leaves are just starting to turn color and everything looked so beautiful.

 Some of the beautiful buildings on campus.

 Daniel worked the stroller all the way down these stairs only for us to realize that the path we had been walking on stopped at the bottom of the stairs......haha.

 Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
