LoVe

We love you all and miss you. Thinking of you this season and wanted you to know Layla is loving Christmas. The lights, tree's, music, snow.... all of it.

She is talking SO much. We wanted to post a video of all her words - so hang tight and we'll get that up soon.

Love
The Day's

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Hey everyone! Sorry for the delay of a Thanksgiving post. We all had a really great day with lots of delicious food and family from all around. Layla has been espceially excited out the recent snowfall and loves to get out and about, so it made for a nearly perfect day.

Later that night though, we had a slumber party at Primary Childrens hospital due to a small infection in Lady's leg. The doc took good care of her though and sent us home with a happy girl this afternoon. All is well now that we're back home with our favorite toys and soft blankets. We'll just get some much needed rest in so we can hang some holiday decorations tomorrow. She's so excited about her own little tree that we put up in the corner of her room.

We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and want to express out love and THANKS to our family out there reading along.

WHERE THE....???!!!

Where has October and November gone already! 

Yikes! 

Just realized it's the 8th and we haven't even sat down to write our update letters yet! 

Sorry for the delay. 

This week is insanely hectic week and some big changes are happening around us. 

Shannon has been put in the Relief Society Presidency and is trying her best to learn the ropes. 

Enrichment meeting activities, funerals, and more have consumed her this weekend. 

And the bike shop is gearing up for it's big Black Friday sale and Holiday events.

Please excuse our tardiness. 

We have NOT forgotten you! We never would.

We will attend to business as soon as possible. 

And as always, make it worth the wait.

Hugs.

The Day Family. 

We rocked the party for a full three days.... and then some. Kevin's mom always out does herself with D.licious food, drinks and such.  But it was well worth the work. The pumpkin show was fantastic - as usual.

These are only a few of the 109 punkins we spent a bazillion hours carving. 

And what you're all waiting for.....

Here's Layla!

All the girl cousins were Fairy's. Custom made shirts, wands, head bands, and ankle ruffle cuffs.

Big girl pose

Showing off her shoes. Which is one of her favorite words to say

Everything was a blast - minus the super duper bad weather that put quite the dampener on our soiree. Costumes had to be concealed with winter coats and gloves. Layla tricker treated to about four houses before deciding to make the fans come to her. So we partied it up inside and waited for the entourage to arrive.  Dad and Lady provided a little entertainment for the party.

We - grown folks rocked the 80's.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN. 

15 MONTHS

Who needs dance lessons when you're born with moves like this!?

SHE WALKS!!!!!

YUP! Layla is officially walking! Tonight at her great grandma's (92 years old!) house, on the back patio, Layla walked!

Kevin and I have been trying to get her to walk for us for SO LONG and she showed no interest. Tonight, while we were in the house and she was playing on the back patio with Kevin's brother - he convinced her to walk over to a cup and get a drink! She was SO SO excited that she would start squealing for herself after a few steps. The whole Day family was there and everyone was so excited! It's the CUTEST THING IN THE WORLD!!!

Sorry these video's are crummy - they were taken on our phones.

We cant get enough of her CUTENESS!

THE LOOK....

(yes that's her true eye color... no photoshop done here. I told you, indescribable. Turquoise if you will...)

Layla is getting more and more mischievous with this crawling gig. 

She loves to give us "the look" right before she heads out on an adventure.

Adventures that almost always end up with her stuck in a fix she wiggled into and can't get out of without a little help. :)

Then we laugh together and she takes off again with a little wiggle in her tail.
