I drove up to Ogden yesterday to have a Lunch date with Dustin. The whole drive up I just couldn't get over how gorgeous all the fall leaves are! There was still some green left, mixed with red, purples, yellow, oranges, and a little bit of brown.
Last night we got to go to the Jazz game! We got the tickets from a guy I work with. It was Jazz vs. Nuggets and the Jazz one by like, 2 points or something. There were 3 totally drunk people in front of us and some hilarious guys behind us screeming at them the whole time. We were just laughing. In the end we got free chalupas!
Dustin and I have had a great past few weeks. We went and got pumpkins! The pumpkin patch place was pretty cool, we even did the David Archuleta corn maze. It was really hard-- so we ended up giving up after 45 minutes, we just went through the Emergency Exit.
We also got to hang out with Dustin's brother, Tyson, and his fiance Alli. They are so cute together! They are getting married January 10th and we are so excited for them. We all went mini golfing, attempted the batting cages, and then played games and waited almost 2 hours for our Dominos Pizza to arrive.
Dustin and I also had a friend I work with, Edwin Toledo, over for Dinner on Sunday. He is from Mexico City, is 22, and has just learned English in the past 1 1/2 years. He is so hilarious! Anyway, he doesn't have any family here in the states, so we've adopted him. He is teaching me a lot of spanish words too- like "mostasa" (mustard), and "Bano" (bathroom), and "Terminado" (done).
Lillie is still not walking, that little stinker! She is an expert crawler, and is getting very fast at walking on her knees. It's funny to watch her. She can totally walk, she just won't. Whatever! I'm sure that one day she will just take one step on her own and then realize that walking is much easier.
Lillie is also eating a lot. She eats more than my neices and nephews, ages 2-6. She will eat a whole corndog and a cup of diced peaches just for lunch, and for breakfast she eats a bowl of cereal and a whole cup of yogurt! She also eats very slowly, so sometimes I feel like all I do is feed her.
She is also really getting the hang of reading books. We read to her about 3 or 4 books every night and she loves to turn the pages. There are only about 6 books that are short enough that will keep her attention, so Dustin and I have those memorized! She is smart, we think. She knows about 20 words now, and can do 3 animal sounds (oink, moo, and meow). She also does the signlanguage for "more."
Dustin has been busy with work, and I've been busy with Lillie and primary stuff. Our program is this month and I have been making tons of copies of the program, cutting up the parts, etc. And later on, Dustin and I are maing 200 cookies. On top of that, I have sharing time this Sunday! It's been a busy week for me. Thankfully though I only have had to work 2 nights.
Anyway, we're looking forward to Halloween tomorrow night! Lillie is going to be a pink poodle.
