Heber House

Saturday after hearing the big news, of the age limits changing for LDS missionaries, I headed up to "Heber House."  "Heber House" is Evan's mom's parents "summer home" which they retired to several years ago.  Lots of big events have occurred at Heber House, a handful of grand kids have been married there, lots of Fourth of July flag ceremonies and Christmas morning breakfasts.  It holds lot of good memories for Evan.  So off we were for Autumn's first visit.

Doing what grandparents do best....take pictures of their grandchildren.  On the swings at the park on Main Street.
Eating in a retro high chair
Not sure how she feels about the reindeer singing, "grandma got run over by a reindeer" 

The following pictures I took on a cold morning of Autumn dressed in her Reindeer suit, because it is warm and she is cute!





On a walk with grandma exploring the plants.
Getting lots of attention from her second cousins, Angel, Pristine, and Eden.
Autumn loves feet.  They are funny looking and they wiggle when you touch them.
Autumn learned to climb the stairs at Great Grandma Robins and perfected it at Great Grandma  Jeanne's house.
Evan went to a conference in San Diego while I was in Utah and joined us at the tail end of our Heber visit.

Between Grandmas' visits

After I decided to head out to Utah I found out my in-laws were also coming to Utah SOOO I extended my trip.  In between Autumn seeing her grandparents I got to catch up with some of my BFFs and also had dinner with my Roberts cousins.

Part One of the Utah Adventure

My baby sister up and decided to serve a mission a couple months ago (before the age limit changed) and she leaves in January.  Since I'm not going home for Christmas I knew I needed to find a time to "say goodbye" to her.  My dad had business in Utah and my mom was tagging along so I bought airplane tickets.  Yes I realize that she isn't leaving for a few months you Utah people who always get to see their families!

Autumn and Aunt Hannah.  Autumn took awhile to warm up....basically after my parents left.

Right after Autumn broke a bowl while she was eating dinner.

Nine months until Nursery

So I accidently gave Autumn some dark chocolate.  She loved it.  By accidently I mean I gave her a wrapped piece of Dove chocolate to hold on to, when Evan realized her warm mouth had melted the chocolate.  She was slightly annoyed when I took it away from her.

My little Peanut turned 9 months.  She is getting much taller and more active.  Autumn loves all foods and loves to put anything and everything in her mouth.  She learned how to sit up from lying down (8/26).  She also learned to open the cupboards and drawers in the kitchen (8/31).  She thinks she is rather clever.  She played "peek-a-boo" by herself (9/7).  Since she learned to clap her hands she does it all the time (9/14).  She crawls across the carpet, sits up and looks at me then claps.  She likes to swing at the park and even crawl around the play structure.  Her new favorite song is "Jai Ho" from Slumdog Millionaire and "The Fox" by  Nicklecreek.  She is also in awe for the above door hindges.  She has grown to love animals especially dogs.    




Oh yeah.  She is obsessed with the TV remotes, Evan's Ipod, and my cell phone.
