What a great great weekend! It was General Conference weekend which meant staying home all weekend and listening to our modern day prophets. Amazing spiritual messages - more on that later.
On Saturday we had our friends Emily and Jared hang out with us while we enjoyed conference and some delicious food.
After the sessions we all went to a local church's pumpkin patch. They use the money for youth mission trips so we decided that was a worthy cause plus we needed some pumpkins.
Sunday was also a day of firsts for us. For Evette's birthday she got a potty seat so we could start on the potty training. I know it's pretty early but I figure we might as well start now and see how it goes. Practicing couldn't hurt anything could it? No. So this last week we've practiced sitting on it and reading books. She's been great. On Sunday while watching conference and playing with her blocks I could tell she was working on going to the bathroom so we rushed off to the potty and made it! Hooray!!! Later that day it happened again! Woot woot! Twice in one day! Amazing. Great start to potty training.

All of a sudden Dallas decided to get cold and Evette hardly has any winter clothes in her size so we made her this little cape out of her blanket I think she's totally working it [work it work it work it yeah...]. [we're going shopping today for jackets/pants/warm PJs...]
Please notice those adorable little antenna pigtails atop that adorable head. This was the first day she's worn pigtails. Amazing. I cannot get over how sweet they are. This is going to happen on a regular basis.
She was a big fan of the pumpkins. She had a great time running around and checking all of them out.

We came home with 4 awesome pumpkins. Now I need to start sketching out my jack'o'lantern ideas.....
