Our Fun Crazy Halloween

Well this year we did not know what to do for our costumes. We had to do something very inexpensive to make this work.  We also did not know what to do to decorate our trunk for the trunk-or-treat.  We wanted to keep some kind of theme so we did.  We won the best trunk award last year and everyone was expecting us to out due what we did last year.  That was a little difficult to do.  So really we just ended up with this… This might be a little crazy but we had a blast and everybody loved it. 

It was to light out side to really see that everything was lit as if it were Christmas Morning.  We even handed out candy canes!  No prizes were won this year only because they didn’t hand them out.  But I am sure we would have won!!!! 

Family Visits!!!

So a little while ago, meaning sometime in October, Kaelynn and her family came out to Utah from Alaska. So mom and dad decided to come out also. It was fun to see Kaelynn and her fam., and also to see the parents. We had fun going to the zoo and really just hanging out. Here are some pictures from our adventures.
Yes, Brody is the same size as Isabelle! He is a giant...

This big elephant made funny noises all I wanted to do was run away.

I want out of the stroller so I can walk with cousin Isabelle.

My 2 AMAZING men!!!

I started this post a little while ago, and never got it finished, so here it goes.





Well these last few weeks have been crazy! I have really learned to allow people to help me. Which is really hard for me to do. But I made it through it with the best help from my amazing guys!!! Well a few weeks ago (August 18th) I ended up in the emergency room with severe pains in my side. Well I found out that I was in a need of an appendectomy. This was a huge surprise for me being 14 weeks pregnant. It was a scare with everyone telling me that this could be bad for the baby. But I knew it would all work out. I just needed all of those at the hospital to believe that all was going to be OK. Everything just worked out, I knew I was being blessed. But I pretty much ended up being on bed rest for the next 3-4weeks. This was not easy with a one year old and a husband that was working 40hours/week. Mike took over everything and was good coming home fixing dinner, taking care of Brody and doing all the house hold things. He is the BEST husband ever!!!!





Brody really understood and took everything with stride that I couldn't do the usual things that we loved to do. We had to teach him to do a lot of things all on his own. We put him in a toddler bed so he could climb in and out all on his own. We made a make-shift table and chair to eat at when Mike was not at home. He showed this very gentle side of who he is. He would come up to me and just put his head in my lap and just hug me.





I just love my 2 AMAZING men!!! They are the Best ever.

UPDATE

Sorry it has been so long since we have updated anything. Elena is doing her large internship now. I am still in school and working full-time. Brody is growing like a weed. We find out the sex of the baby next Thursday. Life is busy, busy, busy! We will post more later. We love you all!!

Catching up!!!

There is a lot to catch up on! So Here it goes... Hope you enjoy!!!

School

Schools out for summer!!!  Well kind of.  We have two weeks in between our summer semester and fall semester.  Well, it is two weeks of freedom.  Just what we need.  Ok really we need lots more time, but we don’t get it.  Two weeks will have to do. 

My internship was approved and I will be working with the Salt Lake County Parks and Recreation, Adaptive Recreation department.  This is where I did my small internship at and I just loved it.  So I wanted to finish up there.  I will be finished in December with my bachelors of science in Parks, Recreation and Tourism with the emphasis in Therapeutic Recreation.  I am so glad I will be done!!!

Mike has figured out that going to UVU is really helping him out.  He is able to take many of BYU independent study classes that transfer to UVU.  This helps him to not have to drive down to Orem as often as he thought he would have to.   He is really liking his teachers at UVU also.  And really liking the fact that they are more family friendly.  He has more options for evening and Saturday classes that help him out.  He will be finished in May of 2010, and we are so excited.
