haLloWeEN 2010

I absolutely LOVE this time of the year....all of the fun things there is to do! Not to mention I love layering with cute , fun fall clothes! We have been Busy, Busy, Busy enjoying some fun fall things like making carmel apples, picking pumpkin's, visiting our fav Black Island Farms & of course dressing up for parties, carnivals & Trick or Treating! Which Trae LoVED this year! I had so many pics so I narrowed them down with collages!

*********

We were so excited to take Trae out Trick or Treating & of course it started to rain!:( The boys & cousins wanted to go anyways & Trae loved it! He loved being Buzz & loved getting candy from everyone. He would run from house to house with so much energy! Can't wait till next year!

We had some family, friend & work parties to attend so Mp & I dressed up, Me-Witch, Mp-TeenWolf!

So fun, I love dressing up!

24 weeks {6 Month baby updaTe}

So here we are me and baby L at 24 weeks. i can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going..it is flying by, before we know it she will be here. I have been feeling good, energy is somewhat back. I seriously feel like she moves and kicks alot more than Trae ever did, its almost an all day thing, bit that's my fav part!

The nursery is coming along, I can't wait to post pics as it comes further along!~

Two weeks ago we had our targeted ultra sound and here are some of my fav pics from that. She appears to be healthy and growing right on schedule( she is measuring a little smaller than Trae, which is fine with me, if you remember he was 8.8 so she may be a little smaller than him!)

Can't wait to meet her!~

{Last weekend we had the opportunity to go with Mp's family down to St. George & Las Vegas. Our fun adventure began Friday night in St. George, we were lucky enough to have my dad watch Trae while we went to Toucahn to see "TaRZaN"! It was amazing!

Then Saturday we headed to Vegas to visit our families who live there. We went to the Veteran's Memorial to see Mp's grandma who passed away in Feb., then to the near by splash pad to play with cousins. The weather was beautiful, nice and hot! Then we made our way to see the huge new Hoover Dam Bridge! Amazing views!:)

Then Sunday we went to Mp's cousin, Chase's Mission farewell...he will be serving in Washington, we are excited for him, he is going to be a great missionary! They live right next to the beautiful Las Vegas Temple!

It was nice to get away & visit our families!!!}

{20 weEkS} haLf wAY!

{I can't believe our little girl will be here in 20 more weeks! We are so excited and very much getting bigger & ready for her to come! At our last appt. she was measuring at exactly to her due date & we got to see her little profile .....} Our next appt. which is on two more weeks is the target ultra sound, we are so looking forward to that with prob tons more pics to share of our little babe!

As for how Trae is handling all this, he kinda gets that there is a baby coming, when we are at our appt. he loved watching the baby moving on the T.V. and he pointed to my belly and said "baby"!

As for how I'm feeling, actually really good lately, a little more energy which helps making it to the gym every morning but then of course I'm hungry all the time, and I love that so its all good! And I started feeling little kicks last week...so cute!}

{Yes, here we are at 20 weeks & growing!!}

{As for the getting ready part, I have tons of ideas for her little nursery but I have decided on the colors and wallpaper so I thought Id share my ideas in progress. LOVE LOVE LOVE this wallpaper!

and this chandelier for her girlie room!}



More ideas and progress to come...

So I know Trae turned "2" two months ago but here are his adorable pics that my sweet friend Mitzi (thanks a million girl!!!) took of him. I love how they show his personality! He is such a cute little man, and is growing so fast!

At his two year check up he weighed 30 pounds and is 3 ft. tall, growing like a weed for sure! We love him so much and I love how his pics turned out!

Enjoy!

This Labor day was spent Laboring in our yard. ( well, not me I have had a nasty cold all weekend & that's also why so many posts, good time to catch up) I know sounds exciting, but it actually is when its your first home and first yard that you put in yourself. We have kinda been working on our front yard all summer so here is the front....

(we really still need a few more plants & flowers to make it fuller and some rocks, but check out how nice our grass is coming in!)

And as for the back yard... last week we got our patio put in! I love how big and curvy it turned out. A special thanks to Denis Waters Construction..they did an excellent job! Then Monday MP & some of our neighbors put in our sprinklers & leveled out the dirt to get ready to plant our seed! We are so excited to finally have most of our yard done and by next year we should have a nice backyard to play in! Im so proud of MP and all the hard work he has done to our home and our yard! Im also so thankful for awesome friends and neighbors that have helped us!

oh yes and we have one side of our yard with a fence! yay!
