This year for Thanksgiving we went down to St. George to spend time with my family for the weekend. Every year MP and this year my dad went to play in the "turkey bowl" with his friend TJ and his family. MP looks forward to playing and this year they still had fun even in the rain!

A yummy thanksgiving dinner was prepared by my sweet grandma. She is an amazing cook, every thing was delicious and the table was beautiful! I love this time of the year that we are able to spend time with our families! We are so thankful for all of our many blessings and to have had a wonderful holiday!

KiSS the CooK..MuAH!

Yesterday was Trae's four month check up. I was a little nervous taking him because we had to switch Pediatricians and I wasn't sure if I would like our new one, but she was awesome! She was so down to earth and so helpful ,she just loved him. He was all smiles and giggles until the shots of course!:( Our little chunk now weighs 16 1/2 pounds, and is 26 inches tall, which puts him in the 90th percentile in both!

Trae is growing so fast, he is so much fun, he is laughing, giggling and his babbles are getting louder! He really is such a good happy baby. The last couple of weeks he has started grabbing and playing with his toys! It's so much fun to see how he develops each month. He is such a joy and blessing in our lives!!

Since MP and I have decided to wait a year or so ( hopefully sooner) to buy a new home I have been dying to make a few improvements in our cute little townhouse. I think it's some kind of post partum energy that I have, that and now that I'm working part time and Trae still takes frequent naps throughout the day that leaves me with projects to do!

My first project was the kitchen, I originally wanted orange stripes....well when I was finished the stripes turned out sideways so then I just painted the whole thing one color and it has bugged me since. So... 2 1/2 years later I have finally changed it! I wanted a warmer feel to the kitchen so I did a burnt orange.

My next project was our bedroom. We really are in desperate need of new bedroom furniture but we still want to wait for our new home. Half of our furniture is black and the other half was this light color, so I just made it all black to match. I am not the craftiest person but I think it all turned out pretty dang good! I can now live with it for a little bit longer:)

Lotsa HaLLowEeN fUn!!!

Halloween is one of my very favorite holidays... when I was little I always looked forward to dressing up, the South Weber Elementary Carnival, my mom making all ORANGE food and coming home after Trick-or-Treating to exchange candy with my sisters! Now that I have a family of my own I still love Halloween I guess I just look forward to different things such as the changing colors of the fall leaves, activities with family and friends and enjoying all the fun with our little Trae! (I have noticed Holidays are much funnier with kids) Here is some our our HALLOWEEN fun!

Last week our friends TJ & Hanna had a bunch of us over to carve pumpkins, eat yummy treats and watch the Hulk. We had lotsa fun!!!

Family Party
