Saturday football!

Nothing makes dad happier than watching a BYU football game win with Eliza. We think that she is their good luck charm since they've won every game she has watched in her BYU shirt. Really that only totals 3 games but we'll help BYU out any way we can!

Fall is here...

Darran was really excited to use his leaf blower today. I had to admit I had my doubts of how necessary that really would be, but he proved me wrong and got a substantial amount of our neighbor's leaves in a pile. So we decided to take some pictures of Eliza in her first leaf pile...she would even grab a couple of the leaves to hold on to. Unfortunately, we can't really tell how much she liked it since we couldn't quite get a smile from her.

A few words...

Eliza has an opinion...of what we're not sure, but she likes to make her voice known. And when we have "conversations" she is always sure to fit in a little fist sucking too! We're just praying that doesn't turn into thumb sucking!

Soooo snuggly...

Darran accuses me of snuggling too much...I'm guilty (and he's jealous). She's just too irresistible! And he takes advantage of snuggle moments when he can too!

Smiley faces!

We caught a couple of Eliza's cute smiley faces before taking her out of her car seat when we got home from church today. We just can't get enough of her sweet smiles...they light up our world!

Fun with the train!

On Friday night we watched our favorite little neighbors Bailey and Mason. At Bailey's request Darran was put in charge of making a "big" train track. Every year he gets an addition to his train set (thanks to his role model Jarom!) so he's always excited for an excuse to play. In fact, he's already asking what part he will be getting this Christmas. So here is a picture of their hard work (Eliza did a good job of directing from her swing). That's one awesome train track

Ode to Halloween

3 little Moodys enjoy Halloween night.
It’s Eliza’s first one, oh what a fright!
A pumpkin she would be with little socks and matching hat.
She even got some candy, which just makes her parents fat!
Between a ghost and pumpkin she sits a little while,
As the trick-or-treaters pass and add to their candy pile.
Some pieces she would eat, if she had some teeth to chew.
But instead she laughs at dad as he tries to scare her...BOO!
Happy Halloween!

Blowing Bubbles

Eliza has become quite a drooler and bubble blower. Usually a picture doesn't do justice but this one comes awfully close!

Family pictures

I thought I would post some of the pictures we had taken with Eliza when she was 6 weeks old. Now that she is 10 weeks I feel like she looks and acts so much older! Time is going by way too fast!!!

Aunt Audrey's visit!

Aunt Audrey came to visit us! She braved the weather and left sunny Arizona to stay with us from Wednesday night to Sunday morning. We had a really great time with her.
She introduced Eliza to her first music video. Not sure that's the most appropriate thing for a 2 month old to watch! But we're hoping she just liked it so much because of the music and flashing lights!

Thursday

We decided to carve pumpkins while Audrey was here!
Hague tradition has always been to line up our finished pumpkins on the stairs and sit next to them for a picture...so here we are. Eliza even had a pumpkin...that she can have year round!
Aunt Audrey and Eliza.
Our finished pumpkins were placed outside. Here they are in the light...
...and the dark. Hopefully they will last until Halloween!

Friday

Friday night we had a bonfire at Grandma and Grandpa's house. It was perfect weather! Eliza got to experience her first fire for a little while.
We roasted marshmallows and made smores...yummy!
Grandma even watched Eliza earlier in the day so that Audrey and I could sneak away to the movies. We had to laugh though because we couldn't have picked a more traumatic first movie after giving birth for me to see. We saw The Duchess (which I DO NOT recommend to anyone, that's why I will spoil part of it). The Duchess had an affair and had to give her baby daughter away. So naturally I was balling as this was happening. Audrey is used to that...she knows what a cry baby I am during sad movies. But the worst part was as they were walking away from her with the baby she stops them and says "tell him her name is Eliza!" I'm pretty sure I let out an audible sob in the theater and Audrey was seriously wondering why she agreed to go to the movies with me!
