Our Little Lady Bug

Our families in Utah are loving this football season because it brings us to town just about every other week. We came home for a quick trip the weekend before Halloween and we were able attend a fun Halloween event at the Gallivan Center. Jordan's brother Tyler is in charge of the city events so it was fun to go and support him. Here are a few pics...

While Jordan was at his football game Hannah and I hung out with Grandma and Grandpa Critch. My dad was dancing around the kitchen with Hannah, listening to music on his phone. It's fun to see her interact with her grandparents and cousins. That is the one thing I miss most about living away...

For Halloween we had our good friends Nate and Lindsey and their baby Madden over for soup and homemade rolls. Then I took Hannah around our neighborhood to show off her cute costume. I only went to three houses because I felt weird going around asking for candy for my 9 month old baby. I have to say holidays are so much more fun with a kid, not that she had any idea what was going, but it was fun to dress her up. Basically she just makes everything better. We love our little Hannah so much!

Mowing the Lawn

Jordan came home from work a couple weeks ago and I was busy making food for a baby shower that would be taking place at my house in an hour. Jordan realized the lawn was in serious need of being trimmed. Poor Hannah had been trapped in her pack n play and when she saw her daddy walk through the door she was SO excited to see him (which I know he absolutely loved). He left the room to mow the lawn and Hannah had a fit. Jordan is a big softie so of course he came back to her as soon as she made a noise. So he strapped on the trusty Baby Bjorn and took Hannah out to mow the lawn. I thought these pics were pretty good :)

This next picture we took last night of Hannah enjoying a Halloween cookie. That is black frosting all over her face...

Lake Powell

My family does an annual trip to Lake Powell, however, the last two years our houseboat has been getting repaired and we missed our vacation last year. So we were really looking forward to getting back down there this year. Since Jordan and I live in Las Vegas it takes us about 9 hrs to get there. So we decided to split up the trip and set out the day before we were to meet everyone else and stay the night in Richfield. Jordan's dad had family that lived in Aurora (a nearby town to Richfield), and his father actually lived in Aurora for the first year of his life. I also have family that lives in Aurora. So we decided we could spend some time visiting family and seeing where my father-in-law lived.

 I don't know what this store is in Aurora, but I thought it was probably the most amazing window display I have ever seen.

So the next day we set out for Lake Powell. Long story short things weren't working so well with the houseboat so the trip ended up being a bust for the Curtis Family. We got there Monday morning and then left Monday evening. The rest of my family toughed it out and had a good time. Here are a few pictures we took of our day on the houseboat. The generator wasn't working and it was so hot I stripped Hannah down to her onesie and then finally resorted to just the diaper.

Hannah loved Braden! 

Cute Cousins

And that was the end of our Lake Powell trip. We decided to go to Salt Lake since Jordan had the whole week off from work. However, since we were planning on being on the lake all week, all we had were our swim suits and PJ's so we only spent one day in Salt Lake and then drove home to Las Vegas. Poor Hannah was so done with her car seat. We ended up just hanging out at home for the rest of the week. Our good friends Nate and Lindsey had a baby boy while we were gone so we were able to visit them. That was the only good thing about coming home early. We ended the week with a quick trip to Hoover Dam. We figured we only live about 30 minutes away we might as well check it out. It was actually pretty cool.

She pretty much hates her car seat at this point. Poor girl

What Do You Do in the Summertime

Seriously what do you do in the summertime when it's five thousand degrees outside? Well we take pictures of ourselves to keep us entertained...

Taking a Bath is Fun to Do

It seems like the only time we bust out the camera is when Hannah is taking a bath. I'm not very good about taking pictures. Oh well here are a few good ones of our cute girl.

I love this face!
