Failed Tries and True Feelings




We had to record Baylee's message a bunch of times. I couldn't ever get her to say it right. These out takes are from that.  It was a little before her nap so she was a little cranky but I found it pretty funny. I also wanted to play with the program iMovie. I hope you guys  like it.

Tagged

Katie tagged me last week, and I am just now getting to it, so here it is!

Here are the rules:
1. Link to the person that tagged you: http://mchiggins.blogspot.com/
2. Post the rules on your blog
3. Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself
4. Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs
5. Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.
6. Let your tagged peeps know once your entry is UP.

About me:
1. I hate to talk about myself. I have a really hard time coming up with things to say about myself with these types of things.
2. I have a great husband! This weekend I was sick, and he took care of Baylee all day so I could just lay in bed and even made crepes for everyone. (I don't know if this fits in the non-important category). He's been cooking meals a lot lately, which I love! I'm lucky to have him.
3. I love vacations (ok, who doesn't?). I get antsy when we haven't been on vacation in a few months, even if it's just a quick weekend trip somewhere. I'm excited for our Christmas trip to Oceanside with Ben's family, and really excited for Ben's parents to take us back to Hawaii whenever that will be (it's Ben's graduation present).
4. Speaking of Christmastime, every year my dad and I watch White Christmas together. I've loved that movie from the first time I saw it.
5. Ben and I have moved 6 times since we have been married, and Baylee has had 4 different homes. We are still looking for a house, hopefully we will find one soon, which will make 7. Then we don't plan on moving for a long time! We hate moving! I've been lucky enough to miss a lot of the moving work though (between working, just having come home from the hospital with a new baby the day before, being at Ben's mom's 60th bday bash....). We have great family and friends that have been great help!
6. I'm stuck on thinking of #6. So since these are supposed to be unimportant, I'm just going to say that I have brown hair and brown eyes.

So, now I tag.....Wendy, Laura, Shelby, Heather, Rachel, and I'm going to tell Ben to do it too.

Trick Or Treat!

For Halloween we went over to my Aunt Melissa's for some family fun. Everyone brought food to share for dinner. Ben made his Dead Man's Meatloaf (he made it last year also), and it was pretty tasty!
Baylee loved being dressed up in her Belle costume! And she loved trick-or-treating, eating all the candy (or at least what we would let her!), and tried to get Grandma, Great Grandma, and Grandpa to open candy for her when we told her no.
Baylee also had a blast playing in the rocks.... unfortunatley her costume is now covered in dirt and chocolate. She also loved making sure our pumpkins were ok, but the ones we brought seemed to be losing their eyes.
She eventually slowed down to pose for a picture with me!
We had a lot of fun Halloween night. We ate some yummy food, and hung out with family outside. Ben took Baylee trick-or-treating, while I stayed to pass out candy, talk with my grandma, and watch Harry Potter on the garage. The kids who stopped at Melissa's scored big! Each family brought their own candy, so each kid got candy from five people in one stop. Baylee made out well too. I guess everyone was giving her double the candy. They all thought she was cute, even though she wanted to sit and talk everyone's ear off at the houses they went too. I guess there aren't a lot of kids that trick-or-treat around there also. It was a fun night for everyone though! Thanks for having us Melissa!
