Planting 

Planting Tulips.  Hope they come up in the Spring

First Snow Fall 

 She loves the snow and was so excited it was snowing. 

 Baking 

 With the cold weather we did a lot of baking and had plenty of help. 

 Aleana's Family! 

 I love meting Aleana's Birth Family.  We met another one of Jesica's sisters Sara and her Son Miguel. Aleana had fun playing with Miguel and Brooke.  I don't think she really understands but will love these pictures when she is older.

Unfinished Basement

We spend a lot of time playing in our empty basement since it is too cold to play out side.  This is a life saver for long cold Cache Valley winters. It will be good in the hot summer too.

We spent thanks giving at Curt't parents with his Grandma Pete and Sister Julee.  It was a fun low key Holiday.

October 2015

 We had a lot of fun in October so her is a quick over view!

Curt putting in our sod.  We are excited for your our back yard to have grass and not just be piles of dirt.  Aleana is sad all the dirt is gone and says " the tracker came and took all my dirt".  Although Aleana did like climbing on the grass mountain and laying down the sod.

 Happy Birthday Aleana. 

We did a little birthday celebration for Aleana on the morning of her birthday.  We bought doughnuts and sang Happy Birthday.  Morgan came over while we were opening presents and had doughnuts. Aleana got a picture Book of Mormon, a jungle play-dough set and a twilight sparkle pony.   

Grandma and Grandpas

We went to Curt's parents for conference and to help lay tile.  Aleana liked helping clean but mostly spent time with the horse Tuscan. 

 New Mexico! 

We took a long three day trip to New Mexico with Ryan to be with Tiffany when she got sealed to Tyler and there baby Zane.  We traveled over 30 hours in three days.  Aleana did amazing in the car.  It was long but we were so happy to be apart of there special day.  We slept in the cab of their Semi, in a nice big bed.  Aleana thought it was cool to sleep in the big truck.  We went horse back riding around there ranch.  Then we took a two hour drive to the Gila Temple to witness the sealing.  It was beautiful and all of Curt's sibling and family where there except Lisa who stayed in Rexburg with the kids.  

Daniel Tiger stripes. 

 Aleana painted her self and said they were Daniel tiger stripes.  She is roaring like a tiger in the picture. 

American West Heritage Center

I took Aleana and her friend Morgan to the Festival Days.  We had fun on the horses, the train, bounce house, giant slide, and hay forts.  

Boo at the zoo

We went with my family and had fun getting treats and seeing animals.  After we had a cake Debbie made for Curt's Birthday. 

Hunting 

Aleana rode up to go Hunting for the first time.  We told her we were going to look for a deer. She said "I says comemer.  Then I pet it and feed it".  I think she thought we were looking for a reindeer.  I am glad we did not find anything that night. 

Pumpkin Walk

 We also had some family fun at the American west. 

Pumpkins

 Aleana first experience with carving pumpkins.  She liked helping Dad decided how to carve but thought the inside was slime and messy.

I love the the picture of Aleana and I.  We are both about 3 years old and I think we look kind of alike.  We have the same nose, face shape and almost the same smile. 

 Finished pumpkins, Curt's Aleana's and Christine's 

 Halloween Fun

 Little clown at Halloween Carnival 

 Spooky Pizza

 Going out trick or treating.  We went with Morgan and her family while Curt stayed home and cooked pumpkin pie. 

She liked giving out candy when people came to the door.
