October

How is it already December!!??? I have so much to update on! So why not start with the month of October!!!???

October 1st started out with my friend Kristine and I doing the Links For Life Walk! It is a foundation in Bakersfield that supports those diagnosed with breast cancer! We had a fun afternoon with the walk and the lunch that was served after. 

Aubrey all decked out in her pink! 

Cheerleaders from a local high school were there to cheer us on! 

We had a great time and it was so nice to get out and support the community! 

Later that month Aubrey and I met Brad out in Pismo! We found this wonderful place called Batch! It has the most delicious cookie ice cream sandwiches!

October has always been my favorite month growing up with the harvest festivals! Where it isn't quite the same in 80 degree weather with palm trees in the background, we made the best of it and had a great time at Murray Family Farms!

We went on a hay ride to the pumpkin patch! 

Later Aubrey and I went on a tractor train ride! 

We had so much fun! Definitely something we will have to go and do year after year! 

It will be fun to see how much she grows too over the years!

Aubrey loved her Halloween Kitty Outfit!

Other highlights of the month was that we made these delicious pumpkin milkshakes for date night! 

We went on a lot of walks...

Played at the park! 

And celebrated Aubrey's first halloween! 

Brad and I headed up the Church Halloween Party this year! We had a chili and cornbread dinner, carnival games, and a trunk-or-treat! 

Aubrey was a football... A very cute football I might add! 

The whole family! Our car was decorated with the field goal posts and felt football field! We had so much fun!! :) (Can you tell Aubrey was teething??) 

Hope you all had a wonderful October! We sure did! 

8 Months Old

On October 4, Aubrey turned 8 months! While Daddy was watching Priesthood session of General Conference, Aubrey and I went to her room to do a little photo shoot! 

trying to crawl... but can't figure out how to use her arms. 

she started playing with her sticker and so I took it off and this is what she thought about it!

And then the real crying began

Is it bad that I took a few more pictures before picking her up to comfort her?

We then put this super cute pink DKNY jacket from my friends Laura and Heather, and decided to take a few more pics!

Needless to say she was happy again! 

Oh how I love her!

Aubrey's 8th month was busy! She got her two bottom teeth! And on October 31st she actually crawled using both of arms and legs! 

This is proof of her two teeth! She sometimes thinks my arm is a chew toy! 

Aubrey loves to go on walks, roll and crawl all over, loves phone chords until Mom takes them away, she loves eating apple baby food, swinging in the park, and loves giving her Mommy and Daddy kisses! We love this little girl so much! Time needs to slow down! 

A Day in the Life of Aubrey

I need to update my blog and thought it might be best to start with some random but super cute pictures of Aubrey!! This might be a picture overload... because I literally just snap pictures all day! Most of these were taken in September.... at 7 months old.

Our morning starts out to me waking up to the sound of Aubrey playing in her crib! So I go into her room and hand her some toys! Aubrey loves this Bear! I was given this bear on the day I was born. After doctors told my parents that I was going to be a boy for 9 months, I received this PINK bear from my 3 brothers! Now Aubrey gets to enjoy it too! 

After we play, we do some chores... Folding laundry! I usually put her in the basket so she doesn't unfold the clothes I already folded! 

We then read books and play with toys!! 

Then we take a nap! On weekends she gets to take naps with Daddy so it is extra special! 

and Daddy takes a nap too!

Then we roll and crawl (yes she can finally crawl now) around the house! She goes until she finds the blinds and then she tries to eat them before Mom pulls her away! 

Then she takes another nap and somehow gets flipped around in her crib! When I lay her down her head is on the other end! Since we have stopped swaddling her she is a crazy sleeper like her Momma!

Somewhere throughout the day, Aubrey gets dressed in super cute clothes that more than likely Mimi sent, and we do a little photo shoot!

just because she is super cute!

Those shoes!!

So Aubrey is a super busy girl and now you kind of have a taste of what we do every day! 

Hope everything is well in your lives! I am just trying to keep up with this growing girl who is now 9 months old! More to come on the Blog! Stay tuned!!
