Priceless!

Well, I guess it is time I get around to posting our exciting news since most everyone already knows what it is. We are going to have a baby! Andrew has been aware of this from the get go since he is always head butting my belly or resting his head on me or wanting to be held more than ever. I think he is already feeling competition or something. So far, everything is going well. I loved the way my friend Susan announced her baby so I copied her...thanks Susan!

Happy Halloween!

What a fun Halloween! We waited for daddy to get home from work and carved the pumpkin. Andrew lost interest fairly quickly, but the pumpkin sure turned out cute. We dressed Andrew up again as a T-Bird and I dressed up in my poodle skirt to go trick-or-treating. We left around 6 when it was still light out. The first door we went to he walked right up to and knocked on the door. I was quite proud of him. We went around the circle and then came home to eat some dinner. He didn't want to stay inside after dinner so we went out to a few for more doors in the neighborhood. I am not sure if he was tired or a little nervous about the dark so he had to be carried and that is a taxing job. We came back home and called it a night. I thought he looked so cute in his costume and carrying around his Halloween bag. He is growing up too fast!

We had a great time this year at the Halloween Carnival. We dressed up in 50's costumes. I made all of the poodle skirts after deciding that was the best way to dress up in 50's attire. I made mine and showed it to Isaac's mom and agreed to make the rest of them. It was a long few days making costumes, but I think they turned out pretty cute. The boys dressed up like T-birds...they looked pretty hot! We enjoyed the evening. Andrew went trick or treating to the doors at the church house with Aunt Emily. She said he cried at every one of them which makes me nervous for actual trick or treating. We hit the golf ball and then Andrew went running for it to keep it. Andrew and Emily also jumped around in the bounce house. We had dinner of hamburgers and hot dogs and then had a cake walk for cup cake desserts. Andrew was worn out by the end of the night. All in all, it was a great carnival and a fun time spent with family.

More Family Pictures

We had new family pictures taken after Nathan's mission return address. A family friend of Isaac's parents took the pictures and did such a great job. I am very excited about how they turned out!

S'mores anyone?

We love getting together with some work friends of mine to have dinner. We decided to have a hot dog roast and campfire night up Big Cottonwood Canyon. We had a great time! Andrew loved being out in nature. He was very intriqued by the fire and sat down about 4 feet from it to watch it...then the marshmallows were opened for s'mores. He had to put them in the fire too, but was way too impatient for them to be completely done. He grabbed one and shoved it in his mouth and by the end of the night had had four of them. I am quite surprised that he fell asleep on the way down the canyon with that much sugar in him!

Singing in the Rain

We had a great rain storm the other day which was such a novelty after a long dry summer. Andrew had a great time playing outside on the balcony in it.

Welcome Home Nathan!

Isaac's brother Nathan just returned home from his mission to California. We went to the airport to greet him and let Andrew meet his uncle for the first time. It is fun to have him home.

Funny Pictures

Andrew loves to play with mom's cool stuff!

A boy that loves water!

Andrew can spend hours playing in the water. He loves soaking himself with the hose and would rather water himself or the sidewalk than the grass. This was at Aunt Tawna's house when we were celebrating grandpa's 60th birthday.

Happy Birthday to Us!

After we went to the zoo, we came home and let Andrew take a nap before we went to Isaac's parents house for a party. We had dinner, cake and ice cream, and opened presents. It was fun to share our day with some of both of our families. Isaac's dad made us a giraffe cake and we floated the cake as is tradition in his family. The day went by so fast, but we couldn't have asked for a better birthday!
