Happy Halloween 2010

For Halloween this year we celbrated at our Ward Activity on Saturday night. It started off with a Trunk-or-Treat outside and then we went inside for games and refreshments. It was a lot of fun and we had great participation. Scott and I are on the Activities Committee, so we got to help by Scott making homemade rootbeer and I made 48 cupcakes for the cupcake walk.

Dallin dressed up as Dumbo this year for his costume. The hat kept falling off and he really wasn't into me taking pictures of him. He did however enjoy people putting candy into his Halloween bucket. Thanks Aunt Erica for letting us borrow the costume!

Here is a video of the rootbeer brewing before the party.

Unpacking Like Crazy

So our house is a huge mess!! No complaints from me though because it means we now have all of our stuff back. We made a trip to Oklahoma City last weekend and picked up our stuff, and we are trying to make our new place a home...for now.
We learned that you can live without some things for 4 months, but I really really did miss my comfortable king size bed after sleeping on an air mattress for a month. The last few nights of sleep have been amazing because I have actually been sleeping. Well, better keep unpacking.

Happy 2nd Birthday Dallin!!

We can't believe our baby boy is two years old today. He is so much fun and adds so much energy to our little family. Dallin has fallen in love with the 101 dalmation movie lately, so I decided to do a puppy theme. It was only us so I kept it simple, and Dallin loved it.

He is talking a lot more. He loves to point to a picture of Jesus and say "Jesus right there." He does it at home, church, and other peoples homes. When he isn't running around the house he does find time to cuddle and give lots of hugs and kisses. He has such a loving personality. We love him so much and think he is so special and are grateful to have him in our family.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DALLIN!

New Job Here In Kansas City

So it feels like we have been in limbo all summer. We moved here to Kansas City for a couple months while Scott worked and helped oversee the sale of the company to another. The new company offered Scott a job and so we will be staying here longer. Its a great opportunity and there is a lot of potential to grow with the new company.
We are going to be signing a lease at a different apartment on Friday, so we will be moving again this weekend. Thankfully it is only across town and not across the country. That will entail packing the small amount of stuff we have been living with here because we thought it was temporary and also making a trip to Oklahoma City to get the rest of our stuff soon. Just wanted to keep everyone updated with our plans since we finally made some decisions.

Like Father Like Son

I decided to post some pictures about my boys today. I love this first one. Dallin loves to wear his sunglasses and hat just like Daddy does.


I also thought this was adorable and post worthy. I got called into the bathroom the other day to show me this. Dallin wanted shaving cream on his face like Scott. I will be able to look back on this day when he is older when Scott really teaches him how to shave. I love my boys!!

3 Year Anniversary

Today is our three year anniversary!! We are very excited to celebrate and take the chance to reflect on the past year of marriage. We have experienced some firsts thats for sure.

Dallin had his first birthday. #2 is just around the corner next month.

Scott graduated from BYU-Idaho.

We moved across the country from Idaho to OK.

Then we moved to KS a week later.

I had a miscarriage weeks before we moved.

We welcomed a new niece and nephew to the world.

Its been a wonderful year and we are looking forward to many more!! I love you Scott!

Children's Farmstead

With Dallin's love of animals we thought we would take him to see some at a farm. They had a few more animals than at Mema and Papa's farm. The farmstead we visited is a beautiful 12 acre plot of land with several animals and activities for kids. We saw turkeys, chickens, goats, cows, pigs, bobcats, bald eagle, hawk, horses, ducks, swans, and buffalo. Dallin was moooing and quacking all the way through the park. There was a fishing pond, pony rides, wagon rides, and mining. It sure was hot, but we had a great time seeing everything.
