Craziness with Georgia and Penelope!!!

Louie got to go over to play with the girls tonight and he was having so much fun. Georgia started to take some crazy pictures on their computer of Louie and this is what we have.

Happy Halloween

We had so much fun for Louis's first Halloween.

I took him up to see the Anderson's to show off his costume.

Then when dad got home we headed off the the ward Carnival.

Then off to the final stop and Liz and Brad's house to hand out

candy to trick or treaters and hang out with good friends.

Family Visiting

First we had Lynsi and Grady surprise us for a weekend visit. It was so much fun. We took them to half moon bay and Mike was so excited he finally got someone out to go golfing with him. Lynsi froze up in half moon bay for dinner so we had to dig the beach towel out of the car. Louis loved having a buddy in the back of the car too. He would just sit there and stare at Lynsi.

Then Grandma and Grandpa came to take us to the Utah game against San Jose State. While they were here I tried to find something close to home that we have not done yet and I found Filoli Mansion and Gardens. It is an old estate that is now kind of a museum. They have beautiful gardens that just keep going.

More Utah Pictures

Louis loved Papa's horses. He is so excited to see them again.

Gabby was in love with Louis.

This is up in Blackfoot, ID to see Louis's great-grandpa.

He got to see the farms and all the cattle.

This is Gabby and the funny thing about this picture is she climbed in their when none of us were watching and we have a picture of her mom doing the same thing at about the same age.

Rice Cereal

We have started giving him cereal and he loves it. For a few weeks he has been staring us down every time Mike and I eat so we tried it out. He devoured it and he also thinks he can do it himself.

Happy Birthday Mike

This Picture of Louis is my favorite.

Louis's First Dip in the Pool

Mike finally got to take his parental leave and first on our trip away was Utah for the baby blessing and then we went to Yosemite on the way home with Grandma Sharon and Papa Dave. It was so much fun and it was definitely an adventure. On the drive there we were all excited to drive a new way none of us had gone and it would cut out a few hours of our drive. And yes it was to good to be true. As soon as we got to the pass to cut into Yosemite National Park the ROAD was CLOSED. Seasonal road that did not open until (yes) the next week. We were a week to early to do the pass. So after a half hour stop trying to figure out where we would go next we drove to Tahoe that seemed like another six hours after already doing ten to eleven. Louis was a champ. I do not think he has slept more in his whole life. So we lost a day, but it was beautiful and it was country that we would of never seen and probably will never see again.
