Trafalga

We finally used our "Pass of All Passes" that we bought in September (season passes to Trafalga and Seven Peaks) and we hit up the Orem Trafalga with Evan and Nicole. They have an indoor mini golf course since it gets so freezing here, but it has black lights and is actually pretty cool. Evan beat us all! 

Bella slept almost the whole time, and when she did wake up, we were eating dippin dots next to these arcade games with flashing lights.. probably not the best way to wake up from a nap.

Bella and I bundled up while everyone else raced each other in go-karts. 

Cousins

Steph and Rick had us over for dinner on Wednesday night and the cousins got some good bonding time in :) Oakley was so cute all night-- she wanted to help out with Bella whenever she could. She got her wipes when she needed her diaper changed, gave her kisses when she was crying, and even fed her! (Listen in the video, every time Bella cries, Oakley goes "It's okay.")

Random

I was looking through all the photos since Bella was born, trying to delete the bad ones, and I stumbled upon these (taken on October 10th) and just thought they were cute, and a couple of them make me laugh. 

This was a Sunday afternoon hangin out with the fam:

Haha I think Oakley was trying to dress up as Princess Belle here..

Football Weekend

We hung out at the Sanford's house and switched back and forth between a few footabll games. 

Oakley is so sweet to Bella and her sister Belle. She pointed at Belle and said "That's Belle, she's my sister!" and I was like "Aw, ya!" and then she pointed at Bella and said, "That's Bella, and she's YOUR sister!" haha ummm.. not so much. We keep trying to teach her what 'cousin' means.. she'll get it soon enough :)

Weekend Activities

We had a fun weekend! On Friday we went up to Steph and Rick's. Oakley is so cute with Bella.. she was sleeping in her car seat with the cover over and Oaks started to take it off and Rick was like "Oakley, let her sleep", and she said, "But I like her!" Haha too cute. It's fun to see Belle watch her too, we put them next to each other and she was just staring at her.. so adorable!

We spent Saturday with Evan and Nicole-- hung out at their place, went shopping at the big Quilted Bear in Midvale (and got some cute halloween decorations for half off!), had dinner at Macaroni Grill, and ended the night watching Karate Kid at our place. 

By the way, that was the first time we took Bella out to a restaurant (haha she was a little scrunched in her car seat but she was asleep like that so we didn't wanna wake her).

We had a ton of fun but are also very tired from the weekend. We're learning fast that normal activities seriously wear you out when you throw a baby into the mix, but we love having Bella to share the fun!

Nitro Circus

For the APX year-end party this year, they brought in the guys from the show Nitro Circus to do a bunch of crazy motocross tricks. It was awesome! They skydived into the front of APX (yes, skydived!!) It was insane. They had free J-Dawg hot dogs, candy and soda for all the thousands of people-- we loved it! 

They had a camera crew there filming everything for one of their episodes, it was so fun to watch! 

Park Grand Opening

The North Park had its grand opening on Saturday-- this was HUGE news for our little city of Spanish Fork. They've been building this park forever and it's super nice for kids.. tons of stuff to play and climb on, banana chair swings, gigantic splash pad, big pavilions, nice grass area for the pups, etc. It'll be fun to take our little girl to!

The grand opening was crazy! (Better than any carnival or fair I've ever been to). They had free hot dogs and ice cream, free pony rides and carousel rides.. princesses and other characters walking around to meet-- it was amazing!


(Notice how Max is staring at Smokey the bear.. I think he may have been a little scared)

I took Oakley around to meet the princesses and she was so shy and would barely talk to them, but as soon as they walked away she wanted to go back and see them again. She couldn't believe that a princess was actually talking to her! Just a little glimpse of what Disneyland will be like some day.. she's gonna be in awe!
