Halloween Fun

For Halloween we went up to SLC. I had a dentist appointment two days before and Beau's 15 month check up was the day before so we decided to make a trip out of it. Krista, one of my best friends, was coming through from Arizona so she picked Beau and I up on Wednesday. We went up and did dr's appts and errands for the next two days and then Brant joined us on Friday. It was so fun to get to see her and Owen and drive up together. Friday night we went to Nancy and Matthew's house with Krista and Owen to see the Halloween Display in Bountiful! Awesome as usual! They put so much time and effort into it and it always looks great and super SPOOKY! Saturday we were able to go to breakfast with Brooke and Jared and had a blast! Then we went out to lunch later in the day with Taylors. Home for naps and then TRICK OR TREATING time! We went to a few neighbors in my parent's neighborhood. We spent so much time catching up with a lot of old friends that we only made it to about six houses in over an hour! Whoops! Beau kept taking a candy out of his bucket and giving it to the person handing out the candy. What a good sharer! Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa Miller's for chili and having fun! They got him a fun Halloween kitty that meows and lots of candy - Thanks everyone! We had so much fun! Here are a few pictures - I didn't take as many as I had hoped and Beau wasn't in the mood for Halloween pictures so hopefully I can get some better ones from his Grandparents.

Beau had his 15 month check up while we were there and is doing great. He is 33 inches tall and 26 1/2 lbs. That puts him about 97th % for height 70's for weight and his weight for his height is 50th percentile. He is right on schedule with everything and such a trooper when it comes to shots. He is jabbering a ton right now and loves to make noises - He says a few words and animals sounds. He loves string cheese and pudding and throwing anything he can get his hands on. He loves to investigate everything and loves to tickle people. He is still sleeping really well and mom is not looking forward to the conversion from two naps to one. I wish I could freeze time and just play all day with this sweet little man. We call him our mellow fellow cause he is so easy going almost all the time. He got his H1N1 vaccine yesterday and didn't even cry. He was somber for a minute but then fine.

When I am checking email or on the computer Beau likes to sit by my legs and play peek a boo with me! So fun!

Beau snuck in while I was getting ready today and stole my brush - He carried it around all morning.

Beau and Dad all bundled to run borrow a movie from the neighbors- He wasn't so sure about the hat on his coat!

Other than that things are going okay. We had some sad news this morning that my Grandma's husband, Bob, passed away. He was having a rough time so in a lot of ways a blessing but I am still so sad for Grandma and will miss Bob as well. They were married several years ago and he is a good man and I am grateful for the time they spent together so Grandma wasn't just all alone. I am anxious to get up there to see here. We had been trying to pick dates to head up to visit in the next couple weeks anyway but it is sad to be there under hard circumstances. Times like these sure make me grateful for the knowledge and peace the gospel brings that Life goes on and we will truly be able to be with loved ones again.
