Happy Halloween!

Ty was a very cute BYU football player and loved dressing up this year. He had his costume on all day and totally was in character wanting to "down, set, hike" every where we went to day including isles in Sam's Club... super cute. Super proud and he was trained to say "Go Cougars!" when people would ask him what he was fpr Halloween.
All the boys... including in the womb dressed up today! :)


Ty and his cousin were rivals and so cute together constantly tackling each other... sadly Ty was taken many more times than Carson!!
All the cousins at Grandmas house.
And then some fun trick-or-treating around our neighborhood with best friends Bree and Sophie.
Our family... Ty with his funny cheeser and me with my super swollen face and 8 months prego body... and Drew looking fabulous! We had a great day!

Hope everyone else did also. Happy Halloween!!!

Pumpkin Patch and a Party

It was so much fun taking Ty to a pumpkin patch this year to pick a pumpkin. He wanted to carry that little pumpkin every where. Mostly he loved the tractor and all the other play things they had for all the little kids to play on.



Marie came with us to the pumpkin patch... we got some really great pictures of her... this is just one of them.
We then hosted a pumpkin carving party at our house with all our friends that live in our complex. It was great fun and Ty had so much fun playing with friends. He didn't enjoy the pumpkin part of it to much though... he thought it was pretty gross.


Koby & Emily came as "Baby Mama" they were so hilarious!!
Jaxson, Sophie and Ty... they all started sining "Happy Birthday" when we lit the candles for the pumpkins... so cute!!
Some of the pumpkin we carved
These cute treats that I had so much fun making... and eating:)

We had a great time... thanks everyone for coming!! Can't wait to see your pumpkins lit on your porches!!

Ty's Two Year Old Pictures

Ty had his two year old pictures taken a few weeks ago and we just got them back! I am in LOVE... and maybe that's because I am in love with the subject :) He actually did pretty well considering he never sits still. We persuaded him with suckers. I can't believe how big he has gotten in a year! I have his one year old picture next to this years picture and it is crazy the difference... he has hair! and he looks like a little boy.

Ready to POP!

Just when you think you can't possibly stretch any further!!! Less then eight weeks and grateful to have that time to prepare and enjoying every little movement this little guy makes... except when it's on my bladder... I can't believe how fast the time is flying.

I am getting so nervous for the labor and yet so excited to have a new little baby to love and care for. Ty has been so cute and wants to kiss my tummy all the time. He still thinks he has a baby in his tummy and is so cute about it. We've been contemplating potty training before this guy comes but I'm just not sure he's ready. He has used the big and little potty about a dozen times... so we'll see.

Pregnancy has still been treating me good. I am starting to feel VERY large and uncomfortable. A little swelling in my face, hands and feet and lots of tingling when I bend over to pick something up. Daily naps while Ty is napping saves me but sadly my house cleaning is slowly falling apart and drives me crazy!... but I'm feeling to tired to care at the same time. All in all it has been a great experience and I couldn't be more grateful.

Autumn's Baptism

My beautiful niece Autumn was baptized yesterday. It was such a special day and so crazy to think she is already 8 years old and making such a wonderful decision in her life. She was so cute and happy to be wearing her great grandma's necklace for the occasion and looked like an angel.

Happy Birthday Drew!!

Still to this day he wears a jersey almost every day when on summer vacation.

This man seriously is so much fun!

Drew turns 29 today! ... for only two months out of the year Drew and I are the same age... so I get two months off from being teased about how old I am... nice eh! :)

My parents came to visit!

My mom and dad came to stay with us this past week and it was so great to have them here. They were able to be here for Ty's birthday which was so great. They had fun shopping and hanging out with us... they especially had a great time out boating. I was shocked when they both wanted to try skiing after it had been so long since they had done it. We even got my dad on a wake board! I was so impressed and Drew was even more impressed! We had so much fun with them and hope it isn't to long before they come see us again!!
