Joy in Our Journey: Halloween

Halloween

Well, sorry we haven't posted anything in a while. I will put up our pictures from the Philippines and stuff later as well as lots of others. For now, here are the Halloween pictures. John and I are black-eyed-peas, and then Lilly is a cheerleader. We had a branch trunk-or-treat, and that was a lot of fun. Last year they had a little pond where you pull out a duck, and Lilly just wanted to play in the water and fell into the bucket. This year they had another pond and this time you chose a plate. She really just wanted to jump in the water again. After she picked a plate, we were walking towards another game and thought Lilly was right with us. Then we turned around and she was in the pond! I guess next year we should have her dress in something waterproof because it seems like no matter what she just wants to go swimming. Hopefully they will finish construction on the pool here soon. This was also Lilly's first time to help carving a pumpkin. Last since we were living in a hotel at the time we didn't carve one. As you can see in one of the pictures, she decided to feed the insides to me...yummy. :-) Well, Halloween was a lot of fun. Last year she wasn't really big enough to trick-or-treat either, so it was cute to go around with her and trick-or-treat. She would even say trick-or-treat. It was really cute. She had a little ghost bucket to put it in and she would take the treats and put them in all by herself. This year for Seminary I made graveyard pudding too. That was kind of fun, and then we played Halloween games. Well, that's about all for now. more to come later.

What Happened This Week?

December 2010
We don't keep this part up very well. Went to Japan for a visit a couple of weeks ago. Had an awesome time. John learned some new Japanese words. Lilly had tons of fun even though she tried to talk to a lot of people but they didn't talk back since they were Japanese.

Well, John is finally done with his scuba certification. Hurray! We went on all of the dives together and it was tons of fun.

So, Friday was Lilly's first day to have a teenage babysitter. I must say I was a bit nervous and actually cried a little when we left her because she was outside waving goodbye to us, and kept waving and waving. It was so cute. The next new thing is that her hair is finally long enough for one ponytail in the back instead of two pigtails. She is growing up so fast.

Lilly has started to learn to say prayers. She repeats the words now, but does some funny things. When we say, "Bless that we can be happy", she makes a little squealing noise. That's how she says happy. It is very cute. ;-)

Those Unforgettable Moments

October 2012
During scripture reading, Lilly repeats the words we say. Sometimes she gets it wrong, so we say it again until she gets it right to help her listen better. Some of her famous phrases are, "You are making my job hard!" or just the other day she says, "I'm speaking Japanese" to clarify why what she said was actually right.

Lately Lilly does some really funny things. She has invented her own "sound" language. To say sleep she snorts like a pig or like someone snoring. So, when she asks if Daddy is sleeping she says, "Daddy, (snort)". It is really funny. Then she has her kind of growling sound for gekkos. If she wants to watch a movie she make this squealing noise. If she wants to eat she does this chomping noise. She makes us laugh hard every day. she is so funny. She can open the outside door now, so we have to keep it deadbolted so she can't get out when we aren't looking.

John was reading a book with Lilly. She pointed to the birds, and he said, "those are birds". Then she pointed to the bird house and he said, "that's a bird house". So, Lilly knocked on the bird house. (She knocks when she goes to any other house, why not a bird house?)

I was reading scriptures and Lilly started looking through my scriptures and she found a picture of John. So she holds the picture, waves at John's picture, and then blows him a kiss. The she put the picture away, pulled it out and did it again. It was really cute.

Lately if Lilliana falls down or gets hurt she runs over to have us pick her up. Then when you pick her up, she starts patting your back. It makes us laugh.

June 7
Sometimes during the day we find Lilly sitting up in her high chair. Every time she is hungry, she climbs in and then starts calling to us. Guess that is one way to communicate that you want to eat. ;-)

This happened a while back, but was really funny. John was holding Lilly and I heard him say, "yep, you found some hair in my nose, we don't pull that."
