"Baby it's cold outside..."

The weather has finally gotten cold and the snow is coming. We've had an amazingly beautiful and warm fall but we are ready for Thanksgiving, Bailey's third birthday and Christmas. Bailey is really excited for presents and the snow although not necessarily in that order. It's going to be another busy crazy month in the Smithtown household. 







Halloween was fantastic and Bailey really wowed with her Amelia Earhart costume. Now plans can begin for next years costume. I have a few ideas. 😃

I was also fortunate to be able to go and spend some time with my sister McKenna and help welcome her newest arrival Miss Monroe. She's amazing and I love being an Auntie. I had fun taking Bailey, Elise and Carter to the pumpkin walk and playing with them in the leaves even if they did all gang up on me and cover me in leaves.















Trevor also managed to fly down to Arizona for a quick weekend of football and fun with some of his brothers. Bailey and I spent the weekend with "Auntie Chaela" (who is responsible for Trevor and I meeting). She was a huge help to me as I helped put on an activity for my church. 



Bailey continues to be pretty funny and although we are probably a bit biased she is seriously wicked smart and can now spell her name (when she's in the mood to). Nearly everyday she says something or uses a word we didn't know she knew. One of her favorite phrases as of late is "I can't want to..." As in "I can't want to go to bed...I can't want to get dressed...I can't want to clean up..." We are pretty lucky with the one we got. She is constantly making us laugh. 

                      Roar! 






November picnic what?!! 






B managed to take a header while at her babysitter's this week - she's pretty tough and apparently didn't even cry. 


We also went to a fun "Santa comes to City Creek" event last night. Bailey got a free Ariel from the Disney store (for being cute - the employees words not mine) and got to hang out with her cousin Esmé. It was super fun and magical. Stay tuned adventurers for the fun happenings over the next few weeks.

"Who you gonna call..."

Ghostbusters! 

Happy October and Fall adventurers! It's that time if year where the weather start to get cooler, the leaves change and the holiday decorations come out. Some of my favorites and Bailey's as well are our two light up ghost that Bailey hugs every morning and everynight. "Goodnight mommy ghost and baby ghost... Good morning ghosties..." She is also obsessed with Halloween episodes of her favorite shows (Bubble Guppies & Dora & Curious George) and is fascinated by the decor and by idea of trick or treating. This year should be even more fun and memorable for her. 


Someone is pretending to be a ghost...

This was from my friend Tracy's birthday party - we were mourning the loss of her youth. It was hilarious and so fun. 


As always, it's been a busy month. Work and play and more work and play. Things are progressing with Trevor's job and he is excited about his future with this company. We have been trying to find things we can do with Bailey once the weather gets too cold to play outside and we have found a few fun things. 

We found this place that is indoor and has kiddie rides that are perfect for toddlers. We will definitely be going back. 
As well as a local pool super close to our house. Bring it on winter weather. We are ready - mostly. :) 




Bailey and myself also got to spend some time with her aunties, Grammy and cousins as we got together and had a baby shower for my sister McKenna. The newest Miss Magalogo will be here soon. I'm a pretty excited auntie. 



Other cuteness from the last month. Bailey met the Utes mascot Swoop and was on the news. It was for the opening of the family center in the Marriott Library - where I work. She still asks "watch Bailey on TV...". What a silly and funny girl. 




More playtime fun: 




                 Puddles!!! 





               "I jump mommy..."

       Fun at her cousins birthday party


                   She's so fancy...


Getting all glammed up...no wonder she keeps stealing my lipsticks. 


Have a great October and Halloween! It's going to be a thriller of a time I am sure!
