Fall is my favorite time of year.....

Happy Halloween! We had such a great halloween this year. We traveled up past Boise, to Marsing for my grandpa's 80th birthday party. It was perfect for us since I don't think Stella is old enough to grasp trick or treating yet. We stayed at my Uncle Dean and Aunt Karen's house, who I haven't seen since I was 12! It was so great to catch up with them and become reaquai2nted.
Here are some pics of the party!

Papa & Stella

Dad the long haired hippy, Mary the snowflake, Jenny in platinum blonde, Tori Tinkerbell, Nick is south of the border, Colton is Spiderman, Jessica's Fiona, David supporting our favorite team as Kyle Beckerman and Stella and me are kitties
My uncle plays drums in his garage, he and David are new found pals



So, we went to what we thought was going to be Salt Lake Real's last game, little did we know, they did so good in that game, they advanced into the semifinals. We decided to take Stella with us this time. Her buddy Coasten has a lion costume which David thought it would be clever to dress her up in since Real's mascot is Leo the Lion

She was so warm and cozy...thanks Coast for letting her use your costume!
Here comes Leo... he saw Stella and was so impressed with his little protoge.
Daddy had so much fun with his two girls at the game. Since then, Real won their last two games against Columbus Crew who were last years Cup winners. We're so excited for our team!

So, for those of you who don't know, I started massage therapy school a few weeks back. I've been so excited about starting, it's all I ever talked about. And since I've started, David hasn't been able to shut me up. I'm going part time evenings so David can be home with Stella. It should take a year to complete. It's amazing the difference in attitude I have about learning and going to school this time around. I just wasn't ready several years ago and didn't know what I wanted to do. Now I know I've found it and couldn't be happier, especiallly with the support David is giving me while I pursue my dream.First day of school. They are so chill there, yoga pants and t-shirts!

I love the color change in the leaves. Gran-apple took some good photo's at her house a couple weeks ago. I'm going to have to steal them from her and post them.

Running out of things to do! It's getting colder outside so we've been destructive inside. We stuck Stella in a laundry basket, stuffed pillows around her and strapped a belt around one of the loops and had a wagon! She loved it. (The pillows were provided for the sharp turns cuz she kept tipping over and out...don't worry... she loved it!)

Well your little Stella is just darling! I love all her costumes! You look great too! Good luck with your massage therapy school. I may have to come to Utah just to get a massage from you!

Julia, I am so happy for you for pursuing your dream. Iwas thinking about massage therapy also. But don't feel like it's the time yet. I am so proud of you. Stella looks cuter and cuter evry time I see her pictures. I can't believe I have never met her. Love Leo the Lion costume. Cool that she got to go to a game.
Looks like you guys had a nice trip for the Hallowee.

Holy cow- Stella looks a spittin' image of her father. She is just a doll. Glad to hear that Stella is feeling better. Keep up the fun photos. I love getting to see what you guys are up to.
