A busy update

Someday it will be nice to feel like we are "settled in" here in our new place. Moving in is the slowest process ever. Just finding a place for everything. I think we are close though. We found a great TV/bookshelf combo type thing at IKEA that I think will solve a lot of our problems. Too bad I went all the way out there only to be told that the last one they have is broken, but they are getting more in a few weeks. So we'll wait. Seriously, I had never been to IKEA until we moved and now I'm addicted. We've found all kinds of great stuff there.
And we are excited for Halloween. Just you wait... William looks so dang cute in his costume.
Other then that here are some other things we've been up to:

William is still a vegetable who loves watching Baby Signing Time. He gets really excited when we sign "eat." Woo hoo. (this picture was taken before we moved... He doesn't fit so well in the bouncy seat anymore). This is not a great picture, but he conquered sitting up not long after we moved in. About two months ago. Now he's working on the army crawl. He mostly just rolls everywhere though.

We went to the Harvest Festival at the Zoo! It was fun to spend the afternoon there with the three of us! Danny is usually at work when we go.

And of course we had to get a picture with the Lion drinking fountain...Careful, it's about to eat William!

We also loved listening to General Conference this year. I think it's going to be a new family tradition to go listen to a session on the grass at Temple Square. They broadcast it over speakers all over temple square and over by the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. William loved being outside, which allowed us to listen. What a beautiful place to be! We feel very lucky and blessed to live so close to Temple Square!

My good friend Yolanda (a.k.a. Melanie) stopped in Salt Lake before taking off to Perdue to get her masters! Crazy girl. So William and I joined the girls to go out to lunch. We love our Brighton friends!Last month we went up the cabin again, and had fun going down to the lake. It's always fun to be with the cousins, and I think William loves watching Kensie Lincoln and Jackson.

They went out on the boat with Danny and Grandpa while William and I held our spot on the shore.

By the way, I have to say that our Baby Bjorn carrier is one of the best purchases we made in preparation for William. That thing is so great! William loves being up and seeing what's going on, and it's comfy and super easy to use!

Remember how I said William is rolling everywhere? Yup. I was cleaning up in his room, and let him roll around. I looked over and he was under the bed, proud as could be!

He just stuck his feet up against the rail and looked around at his new discovery. We never know where he'll end up! It's fun to watch this cute guy explore!

We spent part of last week in Park City with Danny's family. It was fun to see all the cousins together and to have a week to relax and hang out. We went swimming, to the outlets (check out Williams cool new winter hat. He was very excited about it. ) We also went for walks, to the shoe tree, out to eat, up Main Street (to the Christmas Store) and hung out playing games and doing fun crafts.

This guy loved to swing!
