SEPTEMBER

We had a lot of fun together this month!  Starting with the Olive Garden...  Daphne loved having white bread, not to mention all that yummy butter and salt.  

We spent an afternoon at Temple Square collecting leaves and walking around.
Daph's hair proves that it was a very windy day.
We (mostly Jared and our Dads) worked very hard on our front flower beds.  Daph loved getting in on the digging action!
Water party to celebrate Labor Day at Grandma/pa Wilcock's house.


More work on the front yard...
Can you tell who this child is under all the dirt?  We had to shower her off before her bath.  I'm pretty sure that's the dirtiest she's ever been.

Jared's company party at the zoo!  She especially loved all the water animals.
Front row seat to the polar bear!




Fall picnic at Millcreek Canyon

 Spending a fun day at my family's farm!

Daphne's first USU game!  She was a very good fan.

Daphne also loves...
~Playing basketball in her playroom.  She loves putting the ball through the hoop and cheers every time.
~Loves looking through magazines
~Loves smoothies, pumpkins, colors, and counting.
~She also loves being chased around the house and tickled.  She kept telling me "get you, get you" and it took me a couple days to figure out that she wanted me to chase her.  We say "I'm gonna get you!" when we chase her, and so she always asks for us to "get you."
~Points out Jesus in the Ensign/Friend/books
~We were cooking together one day and she waited until I turned my head so she could give me a kiss on the cheek.  So sweet.
~While playing, she will start counting or saying her colors.  It's often 1,2,3, Go!  and Yellow, blue, green, pink, & purple.
~Her favorite book these days:  Charlie at the Zoo
~When she wakes up in the middle night for a drink of water, she uses the sweetest, most awake voice ever.  It's pretty funny.
~Every time she drops something she says "uh-oh, it's okay."
~One day, I told her "hi" and she said "Hi, Baby."  I always call her Baby, so she'll look at me and Jared and tell us "hi, Baby."
~Tells us "nigh-night"
~When Daph was sick this month with Croup, she slept in our bed for a few nights.  One night she woke up and called out "Ernie!" and went right back to sleep.  It sure made me laugh.
~Jared asked Daphne what color her hair was.  She quickly answered "blue."
~When Daph and I were at Smith's grocery shopping, we passed a grim reaper in the Halloween aisle.  She felt his gross clothes and said "cute."  We sure love our girl!

AUGUST!

We had such a fun month together, as always.

We took a great day trip to Logan.  I sure miss that town!
Daph's first snack in her big-girl (booster) chair.  She loves it.
We went bowling!  She loved it and was so excited about all the bowling balls around.  She had excellent form.



We hiked Ensign Peak
Showing the camera her rock.

The hilarious goats at the Weber County Fair


Daph's first pony ride!  Every now and then she would lean over and give the pony "pat pats."
Such a big girl!!
Daph loves playing with Play-Doh!
Many more head stands
More animal fun at the Davis County Fair
Sporting her balloon tied around her waist.  It's a new style.
We had a great family reunion for Jared's side of the family.  Grandma Wilcock made these adorable hats and satchels for the little girls to go along with a family history presentation.  See how much she loves wearing her hat?
 We've been going to a lot of Aunti Michelle's Weber High tennis matches.  We always love them.

 ...and even more head stands.

About our sweet Daphne...

~Loves playing on the stairs
~Loves her bath!
~Pats your back when she gives you a hug
~Started counting... she usually skips "1," says "2, 3," and then cheers.  She also says "8" and "10" when we get that far.
~Loves olives
~Folds her arms really well for prayer
~We can't even keep a list of new words she says anymore, she basically repeats something new that we say every time we are talking.  My favorite word Daphne said this month:  "octapus."  Clear as a bell.
~Points out airplanes and birds every time we are outside.  She loves them.
~Eats well with a fork
~Still loves to play with rocks and now will say "smooth" when she feel the surface.  We are practicing the difference between rocks that are smooth and rough.
~Working on our colors, mostly with Candyland and crayons.
~Asks for treats all the time, especially chocolate chips and "Stabusts" (Starbursts)
~Loves being outside
~Says "thank you"
~Loves playing with others
~Learned how to ride her bike really well and say "no no no" while we were away in Las Vegas

HAPPY 4th ANNIVERSARY TO US!

We spent 4 fabulous days in Las Vegas for our anniversary this year.  We had never been away from Daphne before, and it was so hard!  I have to admit, there was a little crying involved after we left the house, but we knew she was in our parents' good hands.  We had an amazing time!

We stopped at the St. George Temple on our way down.  I had never been there before, and it was beautiful!

We stayed at The Wynn and were treated like royalty.


Bowling at the Red Rock

We had our anniversary dinner at Mix.  It was delicious!




Our hotel pool.  We were in heaven!
