It's Official.............

A Very Fun October
This month has been a fantastic one! We started out October by going to the county Fair. It was small, but decent and the first night you get in free so the only money we spent was for Gracie to go on the purple Dinosaur ride. I don't know if she really liked it- but at least she was by her new best pal Ivory. Aren't they cute?!!
My Grandparents from Idaho Falls came to visit for ten days! Gracie had a blast getting to know them and she loved getting so much attention. It was fun to show them around Statesboro, but more fun to just visit! We visited Savannah and ate lots of good southern food! They are such great Grandparents and I am so lucky to have such a wonderful relationship with them. They are such great examples, and I would love to be like them someday. And- I would also love to have as much energy as they do! My grandma wouldn't rest until all of Jesse's dress shirts were washed and pressed, and my Gramps straightened our garage and put a shelving unit together. Now we can park a car in our garage! Thanks Gramps and Gram! We love you and miss you!
Also, this month one of my dreams came true! I finally got to participate in Habitat for Humanity. It was awesome! Jesse's firm put a team together to participate in Statesboro's first ever Habitat Buildathon. It was amazing to see all the volunteers, and watch how fast things were done. We helped prep the house for the siding and then helped put up the siding. And boy, I have a new appreciation for my house! It hard work!For a while I've had a fever, and the only prescription is more.......SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE! On Monday Sarah and I went to the 2007 So You Think You Can Dance Tour and it was AWESOME. We screamed our heads off like giddy twelve-year-olds and it was so much fun. We were a little disappointed that Lacy was not preforming due to a knee injury, but Shawna took her place in one of our favorite dances (the one that Mia choreographed with Cameron and Lacy to the song "Dancing"). They preformed many of our favorite dances - the Transformer, the Hummingbird, The Angel and Devil, The Matrix dance, Sabra and Dominic's Hip Hop.....It was so cool to see the dancers in person. They are even more amazing than you would think, and talented beyond belief. When it was over we were able to get Pasha, Lauren and Danny's autographs. I can't wait until next season- so good thing MTV has replayed the season two and we got it recorded with our DVR! Well- Happy Halloween to everyone! Our ward had it's Trunk-or-Treat on Wednesday. Gracie was a Lady Bug and I tried to be a dandelion, but as you can see my hair just wouldn't stand up! Jesse was dressed in head to toe Hawks gear. For those of you who don't know-Jesse is the BIGGEST Hawks fan, so hopefully this year they will do better. Pre-season has gone well for them so this might just be the year you guys have hoped for Jesse and Brian! My fingers are crossed!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Gracie's New Hobby

Gracie loves to make music and is suprised when sound comes out of the harmonica! It took her a while to get the hang of it, but she loves to play and then dance around the room. I can' believe she is almost two! It has been fun watching her grow and I am always amazed by the things she learns. She loves labeling things with adjectives (especially colors) and has started calling me "little mommy" and Jesse "big daddy". It cracks us up! If she dosn't know the name of an object she will just say the color like "I want blue" or "Read purple book" so it is pretty easy to figure out what she is asking for.

A few weeks ago Jesse's boss gave him some tickets to the Georgia game. It was a blast- and the first one I had been too! Georgia played Western Carolina, so it wasn't that exciting but we were close to the field. The stadium was awesome! It was fun to see everyone all dressed in red and black. Going to a football game in the south is a very big deal. People dress up for the game- and I don't mean a red t-shirt. Girls wear trendy red dresses and guys even dress up (red slacks are very popular). I don't think anyone there was wearing colors other than Red black and white (except for the small section of Western Carolina fans). Georgia won, of course!

I tried to post a video and some pic's but somehow my internet connection is not working right! :( I'll try later.
