WHATS HAPPENING
This is just kind of a post about everything.

NEW CAR
C.J. and I have been surviving on one car for the last two or three months but since C.J. got a new job and will be traveling to high school's all over Utah and Vegas to recruit students to come to Dixie we were in need of another car. We were looking on Craiglist for a good deal and found this. We bought it for about 8,000. It Kelly Blue booked at 12,000. So we thought it was a pretty good deal.
I knew we were going to need a bigger car soon but I really hate spending money on cars. They just depreciate and it bugs me so bad to put money into a car and know you will never get it back out. I also don't believe in taking out a loan to pay for a car. My dad always taught me to pay cash if you can so of course I didn't want to spend much on a car. One major selling point of this car for me was that It only has 50,000 miles on it. Even though I wanted something bigger with three rows I knew we really didn't need three rows till we had a third baby which hopefully wont happen soon. At least since the miles are so low we will be able to have this for 3 or four years.
I think this is C.J.'s favorite part of the car. They make the car look really nice. C.J. is already in love with the car. The other day when I was getting out of it he said "Hey let me teach you something, when you shut the door don't put your whole hand on the outside just use the edge so you don't put a hand print on the door." HAHA I just laughed. It's his little baby already. Too bad it's my car and not his! I will be toting the babies around in it.

PLAYING WITH GRANDMA'S GLASSES
Jaysa loves playing with Grandma's glasses. She looks so cute in this picture.


Such a cute picture!
This one is my favorite! I wish I hadn't cut her head off but she was moving around a bunch.

STAHELI FARM
This is one of our favorite Sunday activities!
Staheli Farm is a really cool farm in St. George that raises cows. They also put on some really fun family activites and have petting Zoos and things like that. They are really nice and let us come see the animals whenever we want. Jaysa loves to go feed the cows and horses and see all the other animals they have.
This goat was trying to eat her toy and she did not like that at all!
She is always a little scared to pet things at first so she didn't want to pet the pig but she loved looking at it.

MY HAIR IS GROWNING!
C.J. has been begging me to grow my hair out so I finally agreed. Its been about 4 months and this is how much its grown. This process is so slow! I usually just wear it up cause its at a really awkward stage but hopefully taking all these prenatal pills will help it grow faster.

TAKING A HIKE

C.J. and I always tell each other we need to get out and enjoy what St. George has to offer with all the trails and good weather so we have been trying to hike a little more. This was a hike right by our house. Needless to say most of it was a paved road, but at least we got out and it was a lot of fun.
C.J. climbing the rocks. I guess the hike wasn't challenging enough for him
I love this picture! I love C.J's face in it, he is so funny.

OCTOBER!
October through December is my favorite time of year! I love Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. I also love the weather right now here in St. George, not too hot and not too cold! To celebrate we went to pick out some pumpkins. Jaysa had so much fun! She kept saying "Oh it's a big pumpkin!"
She was making all these grunting noises trying to pick up the big pumpkins.
C.J. picked out his Pumpkin right away. He thinks the stem of the pumpkin is how you choose a good pumpkin. If it has a cool stem its a good pumpkin. I have to admit this one it really cool.
Jaysa giving it hugs.
Jaysa finally picked out one she could carry
It was still a little heavy.
We had lots of fun. On the way out of the store after paying for the pumpkin Jaysa dropped her's. Ha Ha it didn't bust open but it constantly oozes now. Oh well.

BOWS!
Jaysa is finally letting me put bows on her again. She doesn't keep them on the whole time but we are making progress.
Her hair is also growing a lot more. I put some gel in it and it gets all curly and looks SO cute. I love it.

GARAGE SALES!
Everyone that really knows me knows I LOVE to Garage Sale. My entire house is decorated in things I have found garage selling here in St. George.
This mirror is huge! Its about 6ft. tall. I love the brown metal with green tones. It's just my style. I brought this for $60.00. I got it home and loooked on the back and there was a price tag still on there for $400 dollars
I know this is a busy picture but this is in our guest room. This is what I want the front entryway to look like when we buy a house in Texas. The table is iron with a marble top I bought for $40. I bought the mirror for $50. I bought the candelobra thing from my friend that was moving and everything else I found at garge sales for a few bucks. The easel I bought for 3 dollars!
I got this cool hide when we were in Arizona last time and had the idea to hang the big star in front of it. I love it. We will put this in C.J.'s office when we buy a house.
Now that I am pregnant again we needed some sort of cradle the baby could sleep in while she is still little since Jaysa is still using the crib. I got this for $15. It's Eddie Bauer. It rocks itself and plays music. It will really come in handy with the new baby.


Here are just some Random pics and video we took.

Jaysa is CRAZY! She has no fear of getting hurt. She loves to jump off the couch and climb on everything! Here she is using C.J. as a human slide and trampoline! Excuse the mess sorry.
She was really thirsty. J/K I was about to throw this away and she wanted it so I put some water in it and gave it to her. She loved drinking out of it.

AT THE OFFICE
Jaysa gets a little bored sometimes at the office. She loves to play in the fridge and often gives the honey mustard and relish a ride in her toy stoller.
She also loves to play with tape, stickers and anything else sticky. She likes to put them all over her body and show people. I think Dad helped her with this one.
