Halloween and my new love!

For Halloween I was a 50's girl, nate was a skeleton and Lilly was cinderella. We went to our ward party on Friday and I won "One of a kind" chili in the chili competition. I was just glad I won something. It's getting really hard to take pictures of lilly b/c she just wants to come grab the camera. This is her with pigtails for the first time. and her cute pumpkin outfit.










This is my new Love!! I was so excited when I got this piano. The delivery man asked if I was taking lessons and I said nope, I had lessons for 12 years. So to have a piano for myself is wonderful. I sat down and lilly and I started playing.

lilly's one year photo shoot

I took Lilly to get her one year pictures done. The photographer didn't do as good a job as I would have liked them to have done but I got a few cute ones. Lilly has grown up a lot over the past year and its gone by fast.

4 Years

Its been four years since nate and I were Married!! Crazy how time flies! The first picture is one when nate and I were dating. It was the first time that he met my family in Yellowstone. The second is our wedding on Oct 20, 2006. Happy Anniversary Nate, I Love you!!

SAN FRANCISCO

All the people gathered for the Blue Angels Show in the park and Ghirdelli square and old factory.

This is jimmy Hendrix's old house on the top and the houses below are from the show "Full House". The house on the end (below) just sold for 5 million dollars. The prices in San Fran are pretty expensive. On one of the houses theres a sign in the window that says that it is not the full house, house and they do not do tours.



We took a tour of Chinatown. Our tour guide was from chinatown so she knew all the ends and outs of it. This is a buddhist temple that we went in. There are buddhist nuns that live there.

We went to a market where they buy there food and you can get animals that are not dead yet. Like fish and a whole chicken is 5 dollars. You take a live chicken home with you in a plastic bag.




This is a fortune cookie factory, but there are only 2 people making them.

This place is the daycare center that was in the movie "the pursuit of Happiness" in chinatown. It of course looks different on the outside.


We were able to Walk across Golden Gate Bridge. While we were there it was sunny everyday.






While we were there it was Fleet Week. Some navy crews came into port and the Blue Angels performed air shows. I didn't even know who the Blue angels were but it was really fun to see the performances. Nathan of course knew who they were and was very excited. Also the navy were letting people come aboard their ships and take tours but we chose not to b/c we would had to wait in line for two hours.






This is Fisherman's wharf and pier 39 where the sea Lions come to veg. It was fun seeing them in their natural habitat and not the zoo. We had fish and chips while we were there.








This is City hall. The city gives tax breaks to those companys who display art outside their buildings, so theres a lot.




This is Bay Bridge which goes over to Oakland, CA






So I didn't know that San Francisco is so Fashion Friendly!! I was pretty excited to go shopping while we were there, especially in H&M b/c I'd never gone shopping there before. It was fun to see all the stores that you wouldn't normally see like Louis Vutton and Prada!




Lilly was lucky to stay with my parents for the few days!! Thanks mom and dad. Nate and I haven't been on a vacation like this in awhile.
