Belle's New Hat

Shopping in Park City meant shopping for Belle, and here is our favorite find!
This is the first hat of Belle's that Quinn likes... here is the profile shot.

Then her "Dejected Look"

This is Belle being pensive, however she prefers to put her fist in her mouth rather than under her chin while she thinks

My personal favorite is where she looks down her nose at all the other babies who do not have hats as beautiful as hers;-)

Such a happy girl:-)

Visit to Park City

Two weeks ago, like we do every six months, our little family went to spend the night in a hotel for a weekend-get-away watching General Conference, but the hotel rates were through the roof in Salt Lake this year! So we changed locations to Park City and braved the chilly weather to do a little shopping at the outlets between sessions:-)
Belle loved trying out her new coat from her Grandpa Kurt and Grandma Janice...

But when she tasted it...

She decided it tasted funny, so instead...

She opted to hang out in the hotel and catch up on her day time television;-)

Nannie Comes for a Visit

Three weeks ago Quinn's grandmother came to Provo for a visit! Belle adored her and they spent many afternoons together while I ran errands and enjoyed a little break from 24/7 Mommy-duty:-) Carol was amazing...she did dishes and laundry, and even cooked dinner! I went through Nana-withdrawals the week after she left;-)

Of course we watch the Boise State game together!

And we took Nana up to an international art exhibit at the conference center in Salt Lake.

This may be the funniest memory I've ever caught on camera... I counted up to three before taking the picture and right when I said three Belle let out some very loud poop! Nana was shocked and Quinn thought it was cool.

We were all laughing when I re-took the picture:-)

Pretty in Pink

Here is the beautiful Belle all ready for church in a pink summer dress and bonnet...
what a girl!

First Zoo Trip

Quinn, Lanie, Belle, and I went to Hogle Zoo on Saturday afternoon:-)
Belle loved the elephants; I think it was because...
she could relate;-)
Quinn loved the orangutans; I think it was because...
he could relate;-)
As usual Belle sealed her approval of the adventure with a nap;-)

Boise State Football's Biggest and Smallest Fans

Last Friday Belle and her Grandpa Hout donned their Boise gear and got together to watch Byron Hout, Boise's #1 Defensive End, cream Fresno State!

Belle can't wait to see her Uncle Byron play live in Boise!

Temple Square

Jake and Lanie (not to confused with Charie Lanie) arrived last Thursday and we've been busy helping them get established. We decided to go up to Temple Square on Sunday- it's Lanie's first time in Utah...I can't wait for winter; this year Belle and Lanie will be seeing snow for the first time!!
