A little girl in one of my singing groups asked me why the one on the end was blank...
They love the Christmas tree and ornaments.... a little too much!
Eliza got pretty good at telling everyone what we were going to be for Halloween. She would say: "Eliza be a horsie, Porter be a cow, Momma be a pig and Daddy be a Farmer had a dog." (We've been singing the B-I-N-G-O song and so all farmers have dogs now.) We had a blast at our ward's Halloween carnival night and Trick or Treating on Halloween night. 
Daniel and I had no idea what we were doing with our garden this year, but we were able to get 5 pumpkins out of it before the hard frost a few nights ago. (Eliza wouldn't let the Cheetos bag go for anything, Daddy brought it home as a surprise from work.)
On Labor Day we decided to rent a Wii game from Blockbuster. We brought it home to find out that we could not get the Wii to take it. We emailed the company and they paid for us to send it in. We got it back exactly one week later with this note saying that the following was found inside the Wii. Oops. They still payed for the repair, but said they wouldn't pick up the tab if it happened again. It would have been $75 . We now unplug the Wii and put it up high when it is not in use.
This is as exciting as it gets around here. Eliza sharing the fun dip treat she got from the "Paci Fairy". She gave her paci's away and got a treat at the door for them. She asks for her paci when she is sad or tired, but we just remind her she gave them away. Now to get rid of Porter's before baby #3 is here...
Now our pictures are paci free!!
Porter is about to eat something off the ground...
Making dinner
Porter playing in the kitchen with his car, he likes to drive it up and down the dishwasher.
Laundry...
We were only gone for 9 days. Our zucchini's were not that big when we left for Utah, but now they are the size of little slugger baseball bats. I've made bread, lazagna, and even some zucchini babies, any suggestions on what to do with them now? 
Among many of the fun things we did while we were in Utah, we went to the Open House for the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. It was beautiful and so neat! The last temple Open House I remember going through was the Bountiful temple, and I think that was clear back in 1993. This was definitely a high light of our trip!
Eliza loves to give kisses. Last Saturday she was giving Daniel and I some good kisses, and after one that was especially wet I wiped my mouth and said, "Ooh, that one was slobbery!" Eliza said "Yeah, slobbery shortcake". You see we had just finished watching Strawberry Shortcake on the Saturday morning cartoons earlier that day. So now we sing the theme song like this "Slob-b-b-b-berry, Slobberry Shortcake".
This pictures was taken 9 days before I had Eliza.
