Grandma and Grandpa in Muskogee

Grandma and Grandpa made a trip to Oklahoma once they completed their service in the Idaho Falls Temple Presidency. It was awesome for me to have them here but much to short of a trip. Isabella enjoyed spending time with them and asked where "Grandma and Grandpa were" when she woke up from her naps. We mostly hung around the house which meant they found many projects to work on to prepare our house for the winter and the holidays. I loved having my parents here and hope they come back very, very soon!!


Wearing Grandma's shoes!

Playing with the window decorations Grandma brought.

Grandpa's attire for one of many projects around the house. You could assume it was cold here at the time.

Our temporary bed. Isabella enjoyed laying on it only when it was deflated.

Mary Poppins

Mary Poppins has definitely been a "Spoon full of Sugar" for Isabella! It is a good thing that it is a great movie because we have sure seen it a lot lately. She gets mesmerized by the singing and dancing and tries to dance along. I love to watch her enjoy such a classic. This photo of her is in the mesmerized state not the dancing.

Fairy - Poodle

This Halloween we were given a few costumes for Isabella. Instead of choosing between them all we decided to have her be them all or rather at least two of them; the white fairy and a pink poodle. Of course we thought she was adorable in both but you can be the judge. Happy Halloween!!

Quick Trip Home

Since I was able to go home for Evelyn's funeral I was able to spend some quick time with family and friends. My parents were so great and came down to Utah to hang out with Isabella and I. We were able to meet up with Melissa and Lucas for an afternoon at the Discovery Center. An afternoon only brushed the surface of all that the Discovery Center has to offer. It was wonderful and Isabella loved all of it. We went to the water tunnels, the horse, and the blocks; only a few of the many activities.

I was also able to see all of my siblings and some of their families. It was awesome to be with them all. Then we headed up to Idaho for a couple of days. I was able to see friends that I haven't seen since I was pregnant. It was great to be able to reconnect with them. I can't wait to see them again when I come home before Christmas. My parents have also purchased some new horses and so we were able to ride them while I was home. Isabella was in heaven and screamed when we took her off. She could have hugged and talked to them for hours. It was so fun to watch!

Being home for such an event and having my family and friends around reminded me how grateful I am to have been born in the DeMordaunt family and raised in Idaho with such awesome friends.
