I haven't posted in months!! Part of me even thought to just wait until Dec and do a post for the whole year but I'll post some of what we've been doing the past couple of months...
This was a girls weekend I had in Ft.Lewis with some of my girlfriends - it was really fun, I haven't really done anything like this for years so it was great to see them all.
We went camping with Nicks family to Lake Chelan - it was so fun and we had awesome weather!! It was so nice to just spend time with the family...and Lucy LOVES hanging out with her Aunts, Uncle, cousins and grandparents! 
Here is Grandpa Mower, Lucy & Melia eating. Grandpa was great at getting Lucy to EAT...it seems like Grandparents usually have a way with her. She is NOT a big eater, she'd live on milk alone if we let her...well, that and candy. She is her Fathers daughter in that way! 
Here is Lucy & Melia while we were camping...Lucy ADORES Melia more then words can explain! Aunt Laura had gotten them these huge suckers. 
Then my girlfriend Candy got married to Bryan. It was a beautiful wedding and reception and it was really fun to see so many people from my stake that I grew up in. 
Here is Candy and all of her bridesmaids...Candy is the type who makes friends with everyone...and she is really good at keeping those friendships too so she had a lot of bridesmaids. It was really nice to be involved - Congrats Candy & Bryan!!
Here is Diane, Lesa & I at the wedding reception. I just liked this picture so I thought I'd add it in. We re-took this photo so many times trying to get it right, it was really funny! 
While we were in town for the wedding we stayed with Nicks family and got to spend more time with them, which we always enjoy. 
Then we spend a whole day with my Dad, which I hardly ever get to do - it was SO nice!! We spent time at the mall shopping (obviously MY idea) and then after lunch my Dad took Lucy & I to the Portland Zoo...it was so much fun for all of us. Thank you Dad!!
We've been painting our house, one Saturday we tried have Lucy "help" us. Of coarse we realized it wouldn't really "help" us, just keep her occupied, but real painting was SO boring! So I gave her a bucket of water and a paint brush and asked her to "paint" her slide. She had a ball and it was super cute! She commented to me a couple times about how much work it was and how long it was taking her, but all the while she had a smile on her face :)
This is my favorite doll I've made so far, it was for one of Lucy's little friends. I'm not a really good seamstress, so this is a bit of a stretch for me and I feel quite accomplished with each doll I finish. 
In October my friend Aubree and our family went to pick apples, we ended up picking 150 lbs. We made apple sauce, chunky apple sauce and apple pie filling. It was a lot of fun but I was kind of done with canning for awhile after that. Well, until someone brought me three bags of plums and I spent 1-1/2 days making plum syrup. 
SOME of the apples - finished.
and of coarse here is the most current...our beautiful Dorothy. She did win a costume contest on Halloween - she picked a PEZ as her prize...again, like father like daughter.
My friend Bekie's MIL made the outfit for her just as a dress up outfit. Little did she know it would become a favorite in our household!
I also dressed up as The Wicked Witch of the West...it was really fun to be dressed up WITH her.
I hope everyone has had fun the last couple months like we have!
