Just this morning...

Autumn rolled over this morning! I was pretty excited... Hope you all enjoy her bed-hair as much as I do. Haha.

And as another house update, we have the signed purchase contract from the seller and we're just mortgage shopping now. Technically, they have accepted our offer and we are almost homeowners. Tentative closing date is March 10th. I'll keep you all posted. Needless to say we are super excited!!

Some new pictures

Hey all... Sorry it's been so long. It's been kind of a busy couple weeks I guess. Every spare minute has gone to looking for a house. Turns out it takes a really long time to find something you like. We actually amde an offer this week and are in the fun counter-offer stage. We'll see if it all works out!

I felt like blogging today because I'm sort of stuck in the house. Autumn has a bit of a cold and I don't want to take her out so inside I stay. Anyways, we had these pictures taken in December by our friend Jaelyn. She did an awesome job and Autumn looks beautiful. Enjoy!

Happy everything!

So the past few weeks have been pretty eventful. In the middle of December we moved up to my parent's house in Salt Lake and Todd finished school. We celebrated the holidays with both of our families and I don't think I've ever eaten so much good food in such a short period of time... New Years Eve was a blast and we went bowling with my family.

Autumn is such a funny baby, she slept through all two hours of loud cosmic bowling.

The following week was Autumn's blessing. Thanks to everybody that was able to make it and participate! We loved seeing you!

Todd has started work downtown and loves his job. We are so lucky! Anyways, we are just living happily in my parent's basement while we pay off some loans and start house hunting (thanks Mom and Dad, we couldn't do this without you guys!) To our Cedar City family and friends, we miss you! It was a bittersweet move for us. We can't wait to come back and visit!

Bath Time!

Baby Autumn loves her bath time! We took this little video just the other night. Enjoy!

Santa Baby...

Last night, the Family Support Center (my old job) had a Christmas party. I don't really work there anymore, but have stayed close to the management and a lot of the employees. They are some pretty amazing people who dedicate their time to helping kids in need and I love them all so much! Anyways, they had a Christmas party and I got to go. It was so much fun! Santa and Mrs Claus stopped by for a visit and it was great to see how happy all of the kids were! I managed to sneak little Autumn in for a few pictures.
Santa was so cute, he kept calling Autumn his Christmas present and held her for a couple of minutes. Her eyes kept getting so big when she would look at him like she was scared or surprised, I'm not sure which. Here are a few of the photos... Happy Holidays!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I always get so excited for Holidays because my Mom is the queen of celebrations. I grew up with that feeling of building anticipation especially around Thanksgiving because I knew that meant Christmas was coming soon. This year was no disappointment, but a lot of the excitement is for more than just Christmas.
In the next month we are changing our lives all around! Todd will no longer be a student, he will be a Masters degree holding super hero family provider!! Wahoo! I am so proud of him! He has worked so hard, especially this semester with the new baby and needy wife. He is my hero, no matter what he is always willing to go the extra mile and help out with the baby or around the house on top of holding down two jobs and finishing up his degree. Autumn and I both love him so much! As part of the next couple of weeks being crazy exciting because of graduation and Christmas, we are also moving to Salt Lake! Todd starts work in January and we are packing up stuff in preparation. We can't quite pack everything yet because we don't know how long it will be until we get into a house of our own.
We are lucky enough that my parents have a basement that we can camp out in for a month or so. Anyways, super exciting and I am so happy to get to move up closer to my Mom and the larger majority of my family. Todd is being a super trooper too considering he is leaving his hometown. I know it will be hard for him to leave, but luckily we both have family down here too so we have plenty of reasons to visit often.
Whew! That was a bit long, if you made it all the way down here, congrats! I shall reward you with adorable newer pictures of Autumn. Complete with Captions!
Also a quick thanks to Steph and DJ, thanksgiving dinner was amazing and delicious and I am still enjoying the turkey leftovers!

Here she is on Turkey Day. Completely out cold. This amazingly beautiful little girl is what I am most thankful for this year.
Here she is in her big girl outfit Grandma Jackie bought for her. She is finally starting to fit into her 0-3 month clothes so she pretty much has a whole new wardrobe now! I still had to roll the pants a little but she didn't notice.
Mommy and Me
How cute is this picture!! I love it when her eyes are open. She is really starting to smile and interact more this week.
And this is how we spend our afternoons while daddy is hard at work. haha. Group nap time.

finally some pictures!

This was a second attempt at the tutu... again she wasn't too pleased, but oh well. I think she looks so much like Todd in this picture, maybe it's the fluffy pink skirt?

When this girl decides it is time tosleep, she is like the dead. I kept blowing air into her open mouth and she didn't budge!

Here's Grandma Great holding our little Halloween Spook!

She's a happy little monster, especially when Daddy's holding her!

This is Autumn at bathtime. She loves to hear the running water. Her hair goes curly when it's wet and it is the cutest ever!

Here is our little pink princess. This picture was only takes like 2 weeks ago but we are already stretching to get those pants on!
