"Ok. But only ONE piece!"

Let's take a looksie here...

... a closer look ...

Oh! I think I want ...... THIS ONE!

Yeah, but...can I have one more piece?

Oh, So Scary!

She's supposed to be scarylooking, all decked out in her glow-in-the-dark skeleton costume - but really - I could just eat her up. She's the cuties little scariest thing I've ever seen!We had a ward party last night! It was fun to see all the kids in there costumes, eat donuts from strings, and chat with friends. Tatem said her favorite part was meeting Nacho Libre, who by the way, won the prize for "most spiritual", and after recieving his certificate said, "I actually think I should have won for 'most blastphamous!' " It was a FUN PARTY!

There was a whole gaggle of us Lansing Girls pregnant at the same time. Now that the West is calling us all back, one family at a time, Tatem and I were able to meet up with Alyson M. and Kim H. and their little chick-a-dees in Boise. Alyson and Kim are the kind of friends that let my pregnant butt stay with them (and their pregnant butts) for weeks at a time, while my husband moved away to Idaho for his extern, so I could keep my medical insurance by working at the ol' BSA in Lansing. Seriously true friends...and there are more of them out there!!!
I love my Lansing Family. We loaded up all the kids and took them to my favorite place...Qdoba!
Yummmm! There's nothing better (huh Brittni!)After lunch we headed out to the FARM (Alyson's house). She and Trevor live in her parents farm house while they are on a mission. We are talking a FARM with real animals and everything. Addy and Logan ran around like Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. Everyone played and laughed and shared and...stole.
(Thank you Alyson for intervening on that one!)
...8 ...9 ...10! Ready or not, here I come!
ha ha Just kidding guys! I can't really go anywhere!Here's hoping we get to do lots more hanging out in the near future!

So I was on the phone with Martha the other day and she was like, "Hey Nat, do you have any good ideas for a simple Halloween treat?"
And I was like, "Dang straight Martha, give these a try!"

Ah Martha! She gets all her good ideas from me!

Yummy Deliciousness!

Remember the whole BREAD MAKER entry from a while back?
Well, after staying idle for a good couple months, I dusted off my bread maker in order to try a new recipe I found for Italian Bread
(in celebration of the Rome Temple announcement).
I was very pleased with how it turned out - so yummy!

Seriously. Is there any question who she looks like...or where she got those eyes?

I'm in love!

Where for art thou, my Summer Days?

We woke up to 3 inches of snow...
and it's still snowing!

Six months? Already? Are you sure?

Same seat. Same dress. Same bow.
Same angry baby. Different bananas.

Ian thinks you can never start too early!

I swear she gets up and walks around when we aren't looking!

My sister Marci, and her family, invited us to go to Bear Lake over conference weekend. We stayed at their beautiful 5 bedroom home and played fun games, fit puzzles, visited the lake, listened to conference, took naps, laughed, and ate too much.

Remember on SCRUBS when JD and Turk were fighting
and JD brought home a large pizza...On the way back home we stopped in Logan to see the Temple. Where is Tater's other sock, you ask?
I think we accidentally donated it to the shore line of Bear Lake.
When we loaded her back up into the car after our last windy visit, we noticed it was gone, but were not willing to run back to find it. Oh well! This trip was very nostalgic for Ian , remember years and years ago riding up the canyon in the back of a camper shell with his brothers. UNFORTUNATELY, this was my first time to Bear Lake. I think I've learned my lesson to never say NO to an opportunity to get together with "family". So, thank you Marci and Bill for allowing us to come to Bear Lake and to create fun memories with your family!

Am I watching "THE OFFICE" or "THE VP DEBATE" because they both make me feel the same way!

BIDEN: "Gwen, in answer to your original question that was not answered by Palin, let me say that again, in answer to your original question..."
PALIN: "You bet you're bippity boppity boo that matters to the Maverick Palin Ticket and that's not a lame joke!"

Oh My Gosh! I know some people are passionate about this political year and are very much abreast (yes, I said breast) to the issues currently being debated, I respect that, but I just have to say...

POLITICAL DEBATING MAKES ME
FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE!

I'm sitting here watching and listening to the VP Candidate Debate in complete fear of what is going to be said next. They are both speaking FOR each other and that kind of communication makes me soooooo uncomfortable. I fear for how the media will potentially rip them both apart for every breath they take. I keep cringing and looking over at Ian, thinking he will protect me somehow from this...but instead he keeps telling me, "IT'S A DEBATE!"

I know! I know! I guess I just don't do well with underlining confrontation.

So I guess I just have one thing to say...
I CAN'T WAIT FOR SATURDAY NIGHT!
I can handle a good and fair comedic debate on Saturday Night Live!
Now, that's my style!

Well, I guess I have one more thing to say:
Register to VOTE, and then actually VOTE! Do your research and VOTE.

Can you imagine? Triplets? For those who do have twins or triplets, I extend to you my admiration. Jon and Kate Plus 8 - no wonder they have a TV Show!

Tatem was able to visit her boyfriends CASH and CAMERON while in Utah this last weekend. Last time she visited them she was only 3 weeks old. She was hoping to come across more mature and grown up this visit with more awake time, more drool, and more meaning and purpose to the flailing of her arms. They in turn impressed her with sitting up on their own, big smiles, and even some teeth.

Considering how EASY the three mommies believe these three babies to be, I think I could handle them as triplets!

Tatem was also able to play with her cousin Maya.
They love to play together.

Well... kinda. ok, so maybe 'play' is not the right word.
