Hot Tubing with Grandma!

There was a hot tub at the house we rented. Pepper and Korver loved it... grandma got to take them in because Heather and I can't go in hot tubs do to pregnancy. They didn't seem to mind. They love their grandma.

Thanksgiving Break :)

Robert and I were lucky enough to have both of our families here in Utah. I need to get some pictures from the turkey trott etc. Anyway... We stayed in Salt Lake City where my parents had rented a house for the Thanksgiving break. All four of us kids (+ families) were there. We went to temple square the first night the lights were on. We also visited a museum. It was a blast to have everyone together.

@ BYU Football Game!

My dad took us to the BYU/Airforce game while he was in town. It was a lot of fun, although I couldn't feel my toes. It was FREEZING! Pepper found the whole thing fascinating for the first half. Then slept for the third quarter. And by the last quarter she was done. My poor mother stayed in the car with Korver for the first half while he napped. She barely got there and then left with Pepper. I guess that is what grandmothers do. Spoil the grandkids and their parents.

Not crawling yet...

Pepper gets on her hands and knees to rock back and forward until she decides she wants to go somewhere. Then she goes back onto her stomach and looks like she is swimming. She hasn't quite figured crawling out yet. Her newest thing is lifting her stomach off the floor by balancing on her hands on feet. Robert calls them her whale push-ups.

PEPPER

One of our family friends gave us a pepper costume when she found out what we named our daughter. It fit her perfectly... she wore it to the ward party. Everyone loved the name/costume combination. Although we did have one man say "That is such a cute tomato".

Pumpkins!

We were having everyone try on the pumpkin. Pepper was the only one who could get into it... so Korver wore it as a hat, and Robert wore it as a mask. I wish I would of taken more pictures.

The Festivities Begin

Saturday night we picked out some pumpkins. We cleaned one out, carved some leg holes and put Pepper in it. She looked pretty cute. But the pictures are not up-loading normal and I am computer illiterate for the most part so I will have to wait until Robert gets home to put them on. So all there is for now is this picture of Pepper sporting her ghostly "BOO" shirt.

Sunday that One Day

My Grandma Paxman made Pepper this pink patchwork quilt. It completed her outfit on Sunday. I am always putting Pepper on her blanket (on the floor) during Relief Society because for the most part she stays quiet and entertains herself. Although Robert takes her to Priesthood everyother week, so I only get her half the time.

We love the outdoors. Wish autumn would stick around and winter would stay in the mountains. It is starting to get so cold!

We have carried on the Bruce & Lori Salmon family tradition of... eating doughnuts saturday after conference while the men tell us about priesthood session. I was getting the hot chocolate ready etc. and when I turned around to see Pepper with 2 doughnuts. Since her high chair tray was not on she was able to reach farther and pull the doughnut box close enough to grab a couple. Unfortunatly her mother didn't let her eat them both.

Piano Duet

This is not your typical scene. Korver and Pepper cooperating together. It was so cute they were both playing notes... our little musicians!
