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! :)

Happy Birthday!

1. What a great dad you are
2. Watching you wake board

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!!

Happy Birthday Ty!!!

A Pirate Party!

The Treasure Hunt!!

Ty's new toys!

My parents came for his birthday this year and Ty loved having them here.

So... I can't believe Ty is TWO!!

Ty is such a cute little man... and even though he is hitting the terrible two's and everything is "MINE!" he still manages to melt my heart and crack me up with his funny personality.

He is such a boy and loves his sports, trucks, cars, and tools... yet he has his sensitive side and loves to cuddle, watch movies, give kisses and wear my high heels!

He plays in the tub for like an hour every morning.
His favorite movies are Nemo and Cars
His favorite foods are mac and cheeses and hot digitty dogs
He watches Mickey Mouse Club house and Handy Manny every morning
He talks like it's nobodies business and asks everyone he knows... "what are you doing? ... or "where are you going?"
His best friends are Sophie and Bree but he loves and asks for his cousins all the time!!

We love you Ty Guy!!!

Thank you everyone for coming to the party!!

Summer visitors

This past week were able have two sets of visitors under one roof and although I was a little unsure how it would work out... it was great. My sisters came for the week and also our great friends Julia and Marie Murphy were here for the week dropping Marie off at school.

We had a great time with all our company and spent a lot of time boating and playing.
Drew and Ty together behind the boat... Ty is like a pro now... it's so cute!
We took a trip up to Snowbird with everyone and had a great time. We rode the tram to the top and enjoyed the beautiful view.



Rode the Alpine slide... here is Julia and Marie.
The zip line... and yes I did this! Drew rode it first to make sure it would be safe for me to ride.

Me and Inna at the top.

Also... my sister came to visit a few weeks back. Her husbands sister was getting married out here so we were able to have them come stay with us for a week. We had a great time shopping and even took a few days and went up to Bear Lake for a little fun get away. Her two kids Ben and Sam and so cute and Ty still asks where they are.


Anyone else want to come visit?!!! I love having visitors... seriously!
