November '08 Visit to the Todds

Trip to Utah for Mike's Wedding

We got to go to Utah at the beginning of November for Devin's friends' wedding. We were lukcy to be able to spend a Wednesday morning at the Davidson's house with Danielle, Luke, and last but not least Grandma Davidson. Joann is calling them "Dell" and "Newt" and "Gaga." I think she remembered their house from when we lived there (from May 07 to July 08).

She watched Danielle put stickers on Grandma and helped by pulling some off.

Danielle and Joann giving their toys diaper changes.

Matching coats! Notice Grandma and Joann have the same expression on their faces.

Hats

Joann thinks hats are the best thing ever. She points out everyone she sees who has a hat, from a guy waiting at the bus stop to the skycap at the airport. She puts various objects on her head and says, "Hat!" She especially likes "Dada hat."

Halloween

It's amazing how many costumes you can come up with from things around the house. At the ward Trunk or Treat, Joann was Godzilla and we were, well I guess we were New York. Devin has a helicopter on his chest.

On Halloween, Devin and I were invited to a costume party, but it was after Joann's bedtime, so the group costume didn't make sense (not that it did to many people anyway), so I wore a tablecloth and a table decoration (I should have gone as a table) as some sort of autumn mother nature and Devin let me put eyeshadow on his face and wore his white coat and goggles. Joann got to wear a cute tutu that Devin's mom made for her. We took her trick-or-treating because some friends in the ward invited us to. Joann was really shy at first, but when she figured out that people wanted give her stuff that she could put in a bag, she started running up driveways. Devin and I ate all her candy, since she doesn't really know what it is yet and thinks raisins are the best treat ever.

Eden Sebourne, Sydney and Holly Hastings, and Joann

We got to go to an awesome playgroup that my friends Andrea and Liz set up for the ward. Joann thought it was so fun.

The Living Room

Ginger Sugar. Do you think it's an improvement?

We have to find a stair ladder to finish these walls.

Remodel and Paint

Devin's dad worked nonstop for 4 days to build a wall and a closet.
