FaLL SeAsoN!


I really enjoy the fall, the weather is usually mild, and the colors are beautiful. I was wondering when the leaves were going to change, and this las week they really changed. These trees are at Brian's school, and I thought the colors were just beautiful. Fall is the gate to all the holidays, I love it!!

Cutest Witch of the Midwest!



This year Brilee is a little witch for Halloween, and I must say she is the cutest little thing, pictures don't do her justice!

Halloween Party!





We kicked off the Halloween season with our first party with the JRC. We had a good time. We did a chili/soup cook off, costume contest, doughnut eating contest(I took second, and felt so sick after), and a game where you see how many marshmellows you can stick in your mouth, and be able to say "Chubby Bunny", Brian won the guys. It was a great night, and we had lots of fun, and ate way to much!

Pumpkin Patch!

Although she looks really cold, she had
a great time!

We had a playgroup where we went to a local pumpkin patch. It was a super cold day, but not cold enough that I would miss a chance to go out and do something. They also had hay rides, which Brilee loved, she like that we got pulled by a tractor. We had a good time!

St. Louis Trip!


This was at the childrens museum she was being a
judge! So cute.
Tori and her little baby Alexis at the apple
orchard.
Brilee and Tori looking at the animals at the zoo.

So I finally found my adapter for my camera to download pictures, so I had a ton of catching up to do. My dear friend Tori and her family live in St. Louis which only a 5 hour drive from Topeka, so I went and stayed for a few days. We enjoyed staying up late and chatting and hanging out. We went to the zoo, which was huge and fabulous, and absolutely FREE!! We enjoyed picking apples at a local orchid, and went to an amazing childrens museum. We had a great time, thanks Tori for letting us come and visit.

Random Pictures in Kansas!

Brilee loving the train at the water park we enjoyed
going to.
SEXY! need I say more....
Brilee hanging out in her bike trailer. We have been
able to go on a few rides since we've moved and she
enjoys them.
Brilee helped me make lasagne, she loved sprinkling
the cheese on. She also likes to wear her little apron,
I love that little face.
Brilee and Grandma Lindquist. Dianna was able to
come out and visit us for a few days.
The biggest shuttlecock ever. We went to an art
museum in Kansas City and they had a few of these
on the grass out front. We love badmitton, so we just
had to take a picture.

Brilee and Pa Pa.
Me and sister Jen! Our hair is a little wild from the rain and
humidity!

When we moved out my family came with us and we were able to make it up to Nauvoo. We had a good time touring the sites. We were also able to do a session in the temple, it was such a beautiful temple. It is neat how it is built in the way it would have looked back then, with the hardwood floors and grand staircases. he are some pictures from the trip.

Hogle Zoo


I found this picture from right before we left Utah when we went to Hogle Zoo with my family. I thought it was so cute.
