Excited for Halloween

This is a picture of the outfit that Nixon wore for my admissions ceremony in Boise. He wasn't very cooperative for pictures then. He wore this to church last week and was easily the best dressed person in the building

 We celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving and had a great evening together. Look at those gourmet cranberries :)

 We talked about being thankful for FHE and the first thing Lyza said she was thankful for was...MOVIES?

 Super happy

 These two are quite the team

 While shopping with her mama, Lyza found this chair and laid there posing for the camera until Kim took a picture of her 

 They found this cute Snow White dress and the first thing Lyza asked is "where are the dishes?" She wanted to start cleaning the house right away

 Here she is making a craft all by herself at the library

 These kids love to come in our room and play on the bed

 This is what Nixon is doing 99% of the time lately. He loves climbing up the stairs

 He is always so proud of himself when he gets to the top

 Autumn photo shoot with Miss Lyza

 For FHE this week we carved a pumpkin!

Lyza did not want to put her hand in the pumpkin and scoop out the insides

She was very helpful when it came to transferring the design to the pumpkin. She kept saying "and now its my turn"

 The finished product

 The next night we carved another pumpkin 

 Lyza got to pick out both pumpkin designs and of course she chose something as scary as Olaf!

 This big guy turned 8 months this week 

 Kim got together with some women at church and they organized a quiet book page exchange. Each of them made 10 pages of the same design and then then got together and swapped them out so they would all have 10 new and different pages

Here is what Kim got (one is still not done)

 Miss Lyza has been holding still just long enough that Kim can do some fun things with her hair

 Here is my handsome little boy this morning

 Time for some videos in no particular order

Here is a video showing what it can be like living with Lyza. You plan on having a lazy day and she is bossing you around demanding that you get ready and get out of the house

Here is Mr. Nixon blowing raspberries on the couch

Nixon's reaction to falling

This is a pretty fair and accurate representation of Lyza and Nixon's interactions with each other. Compare his demeanor and hers

Lyza was excited for Grandma Keyes's birthday this week

Here is an extended cut of her song to Grandma. This also shows a little but of Nixon's crawling

Nixon has been babbling A LOT recently. It is super cute and sometimes a little scary (he has a deep scary voice that comes out sometimes. Lyza had the same). Kim has tried really hard to get a good video of him talking but every time the camera comes out he stops. I got a little bit of it on video this morning

Well, that's all for now. Take care.
