Happy Halloween!

This was Josslyn's first Halloween! I will admit I always hated this holiday and you can read all about it here. And I'll admit I almost didn't want to do anything this year with Josslyn because she's so little. Last minute I decided we would do something and even more last minute I decided to make it.

So Josslyn was Tinkerbell. After our trip to DisneyWorld this year, we decided she would make just about the cutest Tinkerbell of all time. So I made the dress, skirt underneath, and her shoes. I bought the wings because I ran out of tulle to make it, and they were only $3.

 Little Miss was not sitting still very much, so much harder to get a picture of her when she's on the run!

Trunk or treat with our ward here in Issaquah. Her favorite stops were ones that had suckers!

She got this bear from Nate's work that squeaks and thinks it's just about the greatest thing ever made.

 Baby's wings.

 Baby's shoes.

 Baby's skirt and green dress over it.

 Good one of the whole outfit. Look mom, I can fly!

 
Still don't have great feelings toward Halloween, but it was a lot of fun to see her have so much fun dressing up and watching everyone coo over the cutest baby ever!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

It's Been Awhile...

So I thought I would update the world on our little family. Since my last post a lot has happened to us!

On August 22nd, my little brother Lance got married. It was a beautiful wedding and I'm so glad I was there (even though I had the flu! and was trying real hard not to throw up the whole time!). I'm so happy for them!

The very next day (still while battling the flu, trying to get packed and loaded up) we moved our little family to Issaquah, Washington (about 20 minutes-ish East of Seattle). Fortunately my parents were able to come with us and drive the truck all way up here and help us load and unload the truck. Thank you so much!!

Josslyn really likes the breaks from driving.

Josslyn turned 8 months in August!

She's really easy to get a picture of now that she's able to get around on her own. She is now able to walk around with the assistance of the furniture. And after spending a whole week with her 18 month old cousin Sophie would REALLY like to get around on her own. She's trying so hard!

A week after we moved (yes a week! not even close to trying to get unpacked) we made a great trip to DisneyWorld with my whole family. A few highlights of the trip include:

 Playing with fishes. She really wanted to hold them.

Meeting Alice.

Meeting Belle (mine and daddy's favorite princess!)

Meeting Rapunzel.

Meeting Mickey and Minnie (Josslyn watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse EVERYDAY and gets SO excited when Mickey comes on. Not Donald, not Daisy, not Minnie. Just MICKEY. So this was extra special).

Seeing the Light Parade. As soon as Mickey came by she was done.

Meeting Winnie the Pooh and friends!

Going on a jungle cruise.

Petting some animals. This goat was super appreciative.

Meeting Rafiki.

And she turned 9 months our last day in the Disney Parks. She's so old I can't believe it. She grows everyday and I was she would just stop it!

And we spent a whole day playing on the beach! All of us except Sophie and Josslyn got fried!

While we were in DisneyWorld Josslyn's first tooth came in and she now has THREE with one more coming in! She really likes being able to bite things off.

My little girl is getting so big. Nate says she's not a baby anymore, she's a little girl and we just can't handle it. (Please notice Mickey on in the background...)

It's now OCTOBER! Josslyn will be turning 10 months soon and we are so looking forward to sharing the holidays with her!

Summer Picture Overload

Here's a little of what we've been up to this summer:

We visited South Carolina while Nate was working at a conference and we got to see Grandma and Grandpa Sedgwick! She might have been a little unsure, but they kept feeding her things, so she thought that was fun.

 We played outside. This girl loves to be outside. She especially loves to nap outside!

 Josslyn experienced her first swings. She thought it was so fun! She was so little but she held on tight and had a blast!

 She played a little playstation...

We watched some tennis...

Josslyn LOVES popsicles. She grabs them right out of our hands and suck all the flavor out and then chew on the ice. Must feel good on her gums!

We celebrated our first Father's Day. Josslyn is such a daddy's girl so this was a great day. She showed off how much she loved her dad and got him a brand new grill. Get cooking!

 We celebrated the 4th of July by going to the Hyrum Parade,

and to the Hyrum Fireworks. Both of which Josslyn loved! She wasn't scared at all by the sirens or the booms. She was interested more in the glowing bracelets than the actual fireworks. By the end of the day she was exhausted!

 Josslyn got a new bouncer. She likes being able to look around so easy, but doesn't like that she can't jump out and do something else whenever she wants.

 We hung out at the park and cheered daddy on at his softball game. But mostly played in the grass and made new friends with whoever would talk to her!

 Josslyn turned 7 months a week ago! I can't believe how time flies! She's getting so big. She's started army crawling. I feel bad about the rug burns on her knees and elbows, but she LOVES being able to get around on her own.

The only problem with army crawling is that she gets stuck in places she can't turn around because she doesn't know how to go in reverse!
