Life Lately....

so much has been going on in our little bubble over here at the Eggett household!! i always say that, but when i start to type i can't think of anything that has been going on! haha  the holidays are here, which is my most favorite time of year! everything about it makes me happy!! i wanted to bring out all the christmas decorations about a week before thanksgiving, which is soooo not like me! i waited though (self-five!!) thanksgiving was strange this year, however it was great nonetheless. we took the girls to their first movie at the move theatre! i always love all the "firsts" with little ones. olive was in heaven and loved "the good dinosaur" and still talks about it to this day! scotti slept through half of the movie and then sat through the rest! (i was impressed!!!) we stayed home the rest of the day and had a small thanksgiving dinner just the four of us!

dave is now working from home!! it has been an adjustment for all of us!! we love having him home more often, things don't get done very often like they should. but we are loving making memories.

both olive and scotti were in heaven and such great helpers setting up all the christmas decor!! when scotti see's something new or something she likes she makes this little sound that i can't describe. (i love it!!) i am going to get it on camera so we can remember it forever! but she was in awe when we put up the tree and turned on the lights.

we have been doing all things christmas, it has been so fun starting these christmas traditions with our little ones.  we wrote our letters to santa, made christmas cookies, watched Rudolph the red nosed reindeer and have a few other things on our list!!

Miss Scotti Lou is walking!! YAY!!! she has been walking for almost 3 weeks now. and she is always so proud of herself! she will be one in 2 1/2 months, and i'm in denial!! (time slow down!!!)

Nine Months

how does nine months of pregnancy go by sooooooooooooo freaking slow but having your babe here for nine months flies by?! i love my little scotti lou so freaking much!! happy 9 months baby girl!
(we will get her stats on wednesday!! can't wait to see where she's at on the charts!!)

Wolf Creek 2015

This past weekend dave's mom, sisters and i had a fun girls night at wolf creek in eden. scotti tagged along because she is attached to my hip! ;) i really had an enjoyable time bonding with my in laws. they are all amazing women and i'm lucky to have such great role models.

the girls went home saturday, but we were lucky enough to stay another night!! dave and olive came up saturday morning. i missed them so much, we don't spend very much time apart so it was weird not being with my baby. i'm telling you, this was a much needed family getaway. dave has been working SO much!!! he needed a little break. we were able to just relax and hang out. no schedules. no where to be. it was nice.

Halloween 2015

halloween 2015---- olive the pirate & scotti miss tinker bell.

^^ k seriously!!  i can't handle those endless neck rolls and the biggest, toothless grin!! i could eat her up! ^^

^^ i think she is the prettiest pirate around!! ^^

i think we had a pretty fun and successful halloween this year!! i ended up making the girls costumes this year, which was fun and i thought they turned out so cute!  we had a packed day- my grandma had her annual halloween party. and then we went straight to "trick-or-treat" at the grandparents' houses.

dave and i got a babysitter and actually went out for the first time in quite a while!! so that was exciting. did you know, dave and i met on halloween SIX years ago?! i'm so glad we did, i couldn't imagine life without him.

How Are You 8 Months Scotti Lou?!?

seriously, 8 months??? i still just can't believe how fast time flies with little ones. at the end of every day, as i'm cuddling them to sleep, i just want to freeze time.  life wouldn't be the same with miss scotti girl, i don't know how we lived without her that short time that we did!

we have a busy little mover on our hands!! scotti started crawling just before her seven month mark. about a week after that she was slowly starting to pull herself up on things!! (although v e r y unstable!!) now at 8 1/2 months old, she is crawling like a champ, pulling herself up like a champ, walking along furniture, starting to balance without holding onto things, exploring like crazy and is developing quite the feisty attitude.  she has developed a horrible habit of waking up every hour at night, and still eats like she has never eaten in her life.

she l o v e s bath time, like a lot !!  she adores her big sister and daddy!! she loves being outside, but hates the car seat. she is finally eating solids. although we had to skip the pureed stuff- we just give her what we are eating. but you can't try to feed her, she has to feed herself! she loves spaghetti, beans, sweet potatoes, cheerios, peas... she hasn't refused anything we put on her tray yet! :) and still no teeth!!

she weighs 19.6 pounds, is wearing size 12-18 month clothes and size 4 diapers!!  i love her sweet, easy going personality. her little tiny nose and her blue, super almond, asian eyes. i love her strawberry blonde hair. her c h u b by legs and all her dimples and rolls. i love her sweet giggle and smile!! i love her cuddles, her stories and the amazing bond that her and i share! i am so happy she is ours.

LDS Conference Weekend!

one of my very favorite fall conference traditions is taking a drive up Logan canyon (to see all the pretty leaves changing!) with my family.  we have been doing this for as long as i can remember. now that we are all older and have our own families, those who can, tag along.

dave unfortunately had to work last minute, so he was unable to go this year. my mom, jess, rachel, my girls and i and joey and his family drove up during the saturday morning session.  we (always) stop at Old Grist Mill (mmmmmm, so yummy!) and then we either head to Willow Park or up the canyon to eat our lunch.

This year we decided to picnic at Willow Park and let the littles run around!! we had a blast this year, and can't wait until next year! maybe daddy will be able to come next time!
