Apples, apples, apples

My sister and I got together to make applesauce and apple pie filling. The recipe for pie filling is absolutely delicious. We did this a couple years ago when Casey's Grandpa had a bunch of apples from his garden. The apples failed this year so we ordered 4 boxes from Utah and canned away. Paige was a big help and so was Matt, who probably peeled a whole box of apples by himself.


Here is our finished product...I forgot to take a picture before we started packing up our jars so most of them were already packed in boxes.

First Step

This is quite literally Paige's 1st step. It just happened to be caught on video because it was on Halloween and we had the camera out. I have yet to see another performance that is this skilled. She kept trying to walk for awhile and then she realized it is more efficient to squat down and crawl away when she is ready to make her move.

Happy Halloween!!

Paige decided to be a ladybug this halloween. I was going to make the costume, but I went to buy some wings for it and found the whole costume for $8 more so we went with that. Here she is for her big debut...

Paige sat by the door the entire evening waiting for trick-or-treaters. Everytime I would shut the door, she would cry. It was pretty funny (yes, I am a mean mom who thinks it is funny when she cries). Below she is enjoying some of her favorite treats - she just doesn't know how much better they are unwrapped.Here she is at Grandma Crandell's last week. She is going to be one spoiled girl. Really, who needs the whole bowl of candy.

Snot...

...all babies have it!!!
