We are doomed

Just a quick post.... Noah is crawling! This month has been crazy for him. In one month he got 6 teeth(that has been fun) Learned to army scoot which turned into crawling. He learned to go up the stairs (who knew?) not me hence him falling down the stairs, how many?? I have no idea, I just found him at the bottom all mangeled! Yes, he survived without any major scratches! Now he pulls himself up to EVERYTHING and he thinks he can stand on his own. I am sure this is normal. But, Hayden didnt do anything tell he learned to walk not even roll so, this is all new to me. I just wanted to brag about him for a minute. I feel sometimes since he is the second child and second boy he is in the limelight a little. But, I just wanted to tell you how special he is to us and what a joy his sweet smile and easy going attitude mean to us! Love you Noah!

Christmas in a nut shell 2009

Warning! Long post and lots of pictures!!

We had a fabulous Holiday season. Hayden was a blast and loved every moment of the Holiday. Noah mostly loved eating all the ribbon and paper. We had a very eventful month with all the holiday festivities from parties, to desert star, making our gingerbread houses, the premier of Alvin and the chipmunks the squekuel(Hayden was so excited) The kids in my family acting out the "Nativity", Christmas and New Years! Lots of fun and lots of pic! Enjoy!

My Little Santa Baby

I know I am the queen of slacking! I have no excuse besides I am just a huge slacker. We have had a very eventful month. We spent Thanksgiving with both the fams (yes two dinners) and had a wonderful time. My mom bought Noah a Santa suit and I couldnt wait to put it on him (pics will be posted). And of course I had another very successful "Black Friday" Shopping day. We went to the midnight showing of "New Moon" and I loved it, I heart jacob (movie version). Rode the Fun bus to Wendover with some friends won a hundred bucks and got to play in a slot machine tournament (who knew they had tournaments, not me) Oh, and I almost forgot had an awesome time at the BYU vs. Utah game!! Talk about a heart attack. I started a new job (well actually an old job) My old boss from House of Drapery called and said he needed some help in the mornings, so now I work nine to one. Wow, I hope I can handle it right?? So, other than that we have stayed busy preping for Christmas, Hayden is almost as excited as I am.... Enjoy some pics from the last month

Pumpkin Patch

We took the boys to the pumpkin patch for them to pick out some pumpkins and of course get some pictures!! Here are the few that turned out! I am getting to the pics of us carving the pumpkins!

S L A C K E R

Yes, for those of you wondering we are still alive. We have just had the craziest 8 weeks!! We moved out of our house, Jon lost his job, we moved in with our in-laws, we went to Disneyland, and football season has begun. We are doing great living at my in-laws. Jon lost his job the end of July and has not had much luck at finding a new one(talk about timing!!) But, it seems to be picking up a little he has had a few interviews this months so we will see. We went to Disneyland the end of August. We were planning on going in October, than Jon got let go and we decided why wait? So we packed up the car and left the next day. We were gone a week, we went to San Diego for a few days and than Disneyland for a few days. It was the first time we went somewhere just our little family and we had a blast!! I will post pictures. Other than that, like I said football season has begun so gone our saturdays for a while. GO COUGS!! anyway, sorry a quick post but, I just wanted to let you all know we are alive not MIA although that is what the last while has felt like. Our whole life has changed within just a matter of months but, it will work out!! Oh, I forgot Hayden started pre school here are some pics of him!! isnt he cute??

Still alive!

Yes we are still alive!! Life has just been so crazy, our house has been on the market for 3 months and we have probably have about 5-7 showings per week. Which of course means me and the children being kicked out of the house for several hours at a time and of course the fun task of keeping the house spotless at all times which is an easy task with a three year old and a newborn. However, all the hard work has paid off!! We had an offer on the house and have accepted it!! So, we are under contract and have to be out the last week of July! I am excited, nervous and sad all at the same time. I will miss our neighbors and the wonderful friends I have made. But, I know it is the right decision for our family. So wish us luck.

Other than the house we have had a whirlwind of the last three months. Noah, is getting so big. He is the happiest baby and always smiling. He is really content except when it is dinner time(every three hours). So here are some highlights of what we have been up to. Be prepared long post!!!

My good friend Meg and Mitch left for school in Tennessee! I miss you Meg!

We had to go see Thomas while he was in town

6 Wonderful Years

Last Saturday (the 16th) we celebrated our 6 year anniversary!! I cant believe we have been married for 6 years. Time really flies. It was a great day, we got a babysitter and went and saw a movie(the small joys in life after children). We went to Ruth's dinner in emigration canyon, it was so fun we had dinner outside on the patio while a band played. then, we finished the evening walking around the gateway. It was so nice to just spend the day together. Even though both of our boys had ear infections, my wonderful in laws insisted we still go out. It is so fun to look back on our 6 years together and reflect on all we have done together and accomplished.... here are a few.

- Been able to travel.... California, Mexico, Hawaii, Disney World, Bahamas, Seattle

- Purchased a home

- Jon Graduated with his master's degree

- had two wonderful boys!!

these are just a few, I cant wait to see what the future has in store for us. I cant wait to grow old together. Jon, I love you very much and am so grateful you are my husband. Thanks for marrying me, being my best friend and eternal campanion. Here are some fun pics of our wedding day! Don't we look like babies?? oh yeah I was only 18 well almost 19!!
