Annual eBay Turkey Bowl

Today Devin played the quaterback in the eBay Turkey Bowl. Addie and I were able to go for a little while, but due to the cold weather couldn't stay for too long. It was fun to watch him play... he did an awesome job!











































For the first time this season, Adalyn had to be all bundled up, but she really enjoyed being outside despite it all. It was cute watching her clap for Daddy's team!




















She is starting to become a little more fearless. This is her going head first down a big slide.

































Good job Devin... We love you!!

I Never Thought

*I never thought that the sight of fingerprints on the mirror would make me smile.















*I never thought that toys strewn about the house meant that we had a GOOD day.


*I never thought that this...
would sound better to me than any symphony or professional pianist ever could. Although, hearing them together really was amazing...

(Adalyn loved watching her Great Grandpa Payne play the piano and wanted to be right up there with him.)


*I never thought that I would enjoy coloring, at the age of 26, as much as I do.


*I never thought that watching kids play Ring Around the Rosie would be the highlight of my day.


*I never thought that the word Mama would be the most important word I could ever hear.


*I never thought that one good man, and one little lady could change my whole world.
















*I never thought that someone else's "owie" could hurt me more than it hurt them.


*I never thought that the little everyday things are what makes being a wife and mother so worthwhile.

Our Halloween Weekend

Halloween was so much fun this year. Adalyn really enjoyed all of the hoopla of the holiday. We were able to spread out the celebration throughout a few days, which made it much more fun and easier for our 18 month old to deal with!

Pre- Halloween
Adalyn has loved seeing all the pumpkins everywhere. This is a cute one that she got from Grandma Wayment and has loved playing with it.




















Trunk or Treat
Our ward Trunk or Treat was held on Thursday and Adalyn thought the whole thing was hilarious! She loved seeing all of the kids dressed up, and loved even more that people were giving her candy to put in her pumpkin basket. It was great seeing how much she enjoyed it.



















Our Little Ladybug loves to fly! (If you listen closely you can hear her counting for Devin to start)

Ebay Party
Devin's work had a little party on Friday and Addie loved going from desk to desk to see what she would get next!















Happy Halloween
On Halloween day Adalyn got to spend time with her cousins Natalee and Carson (Carson gave her quite the scare!) over at Grandma and Grandpa Payne's.















That night she got to play and trick or treat with her cousin Kayson and Grandma and Grandpa Wayment.












































We had a great Halloween and I look forward to more fun with the coming holidays!
