Nap Time= Quiet Mommy Time

Oh I love nap time. Don't get me wrong, Walter is a good baby; yet, I do like having a few hours in the day to spend getting things done or doing things that I know I should be getting done.

So in my one hour of quiet time this afternoon I would like to catch up on a few things we have done.

Summer Internship in New York:

  I was sad to leave all of the things to do and places to go, the hustle and bustle of so many lives living in such a small proximity was exciting for me. Needless to say if I was ever bored there was a plethora of people watching that could be done by Walter and myself. If you know Walter then you know that he has a sober stare that glosses over his face when he is in his people watching phase. We did a lot of things in New York that were a first for me and the fact that there are still a ton of things that could still be a first for me is what makes New York so fun. If you haven't heard Seth has been offered a full time position in New York!

We came back from New York at the beginning of August:

From there we had little time to sleep before we had Sainsbury family pictures taken. Here are just a few pictures of that photogenic day for Walter.

This first picture is great. While looking through our family pictures I noticed that it didnt really matter what Seth and I looked like because you cannot take your eyes off of that cute baby face!

 Here is the WHOLE Sainsbury clan. Such a cute family, if I may say so.

 gma and gpa sainsbury with their grandkids

 And lastly a picture of just the Sainsbury siblings. Seth is the most attractive and that is why he is in the middle. :) okay fine it is really done from oldest to youngest. such a good picture everyone is looking at the photographer...oh wait there are no kids in this picture :)

 After family photos we headed to the Sainsbury Reunion 2012 in Woodland Utah:

This was such an amazing experience! I had so much fun and was so relaxed it was great to not have to come straight back from New York and worry about moving again. This house was huge and had so many fun things to do: there was a pool, hot tub, pool table, awesome themed bedrooms (we had an awesome bathroom IN our bedroom), amazing showers, huge dining room table (like from beauty and the beast), a razor, three garages (maybe more?), big flat screen tvs everywhere, a nice deck, a fire pit that was electric (WOW) a theatre room, plenty of space to play ghost in the graveyard or green ghost as the sainsbury's call it...im not quite sure why. We were there during the olympics so of course we watched some of that too.  We also had fun going to the Natural History Museum in Salt Lake that was SO cool if Walter was a little older and not crying the whole time it would have been just a little bit more fun. we also went up to heber girls camp for part of the Moody/Anderson reunion. We took the razor and a four wheeler up in the canyon and did some crazy speeds....okay well some people did crazy speeds I was okay hanging out at the camp site. Well if you cannot tell from this description how awesome it was then you don't know awesome! I don't know if I just did not take any pictures or if they are some where else (which makes me so sad).

Third week of August to present:

We finally moved and settled into our Provo apartment. It is kind of lonely here because I don't know anyone but that was the point in moving somewhere new. It has been kind of hard because we have not been going to our actual ward for a while.

We had a farewell to go to, stake conference, the brigham city temple dedication, and then we went to our ward this last sunday, sort of. We both thought that Church started at 9 so we strolled over to the church at 8:55 noticing how eerily quite everything was, once we got inside I notice that everyone was already there (again weird).

We were looking from the doors so that we could find a seat without disturbing anyone. While looking I was trying to figure out what part of church services we were walking into...everyone was quite like the prayer was about to start but the silence went on for a long time. then someone got up and bore their testimony....so apparently church started at 8:30 and it was fast sunday (we seriously need to get with the program).

Other than that awkward experience here are a few other things we have done:

Moved into new apartment and started feeding Walter more varieties of baby food. This is a picture of seth feeding Walter. wierd huh? well it is because we dont have a high chair :) do what you gotta do.

 Seth started school...this is Seth doing homework with Walter.

We went to Two Buck Tuesday at Thanksgiving Gardens with the Englands and Rachel, it was so pretty. I need to find those pictures! 

We have gone to several recruiting events and other formal dinners. Seth is still in the Presidents leadership committee. He is also doing intramural flag football and soccer with his cousins.
 

We went swimming with the Chenns at their new place

 We were eventually kicked out because of lightning haha

 We watched some football games

 We hung out at home!

 We had a visitor! Yes, Jennifer and Walter are almost the same size haha jk

 We went camping??

 We were up at Payson lakes it was super fun and a little chilly notice walters winter coat (I may or may not have been a little over the top with how cold he was)

 We had some visitors up at our campsite who provided a delicious STEAK meal. How many people can say that when they go camping.

 Here we are in the morning- yes walter woke up every other hour- but we still managed to have a good time in our two man tent that was wall to wall full of our airbeds . Fact- you can try to make it as easy as possible on yourself when you are camping.

 After packing all of our stuff up we went to one of the Payson Lakes so serene!

 We then decided to go on the Nebo Loop, which is something Seth has been wanting to take me on since before we were married. Three years later we finally did it! I loved the beautiful colors of fall. I would definitely recommend this scenic byway to everyone. This picture is just a small portion of what the whole time was like.

 I tried to make caramel dipped apples....with homemade caramel. they were supposed to turn out like this...

 but turned out like this....

 We went to Kiddie Kandids and took his seven month pictures. This is in the waiting area because they do not let you take pictures in their studio.

 We have gone to the library for reading time. And we do reading time before bed too!

 Last but not least we go to gma Calls house every Monday to visit/do laundry/help out/ hang out with Grace aka be beat up by grace. I was trying to upload a video of the last time Grace was "playing" with Walter but it isn't loading right now so...until next time.

Seth and I have had a wonderful time keeping busy and going out and doing things! I have realized now that I don't have a job or school to take up all of my time that I need to get out and do things for my sanity and for Walter's education. I am excited for all the things that we will get to do this coming month. October is going to be busy and very halloweeny. I am so excited to spend this time of year...or any time of year with my family and with the Call's and Sainsbury's.

And Walter is now awake so the posting time is over, until next nap time!
