Happy Halloween

My Little Horsie!

Stetson was a horse for Halloween! He was so cute. We went to the school in Lapoint for a Halloween party. Stetson loved seeing all of the kids dressed up and was so excited. We had fun!

Making Cookies

Stetson loves to be in the kitchen! He loves to watch things bubble and stir things and mix things. It can be really fun unless I am in a hurry to get dinner done. He is My Little Cookie Monster! He was so good to sit on the counter and help me mix in things in the mixer. We had so much fun making pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. He played with the spoons and bowls. Then the best part was after they were done we ate them!!

Our 1st House

We are finally in a house! We had several ups and downs in the house buying process but we are so happy to be settled into our home. We are so excited to have our first home and we already have projects in mind. It is a very modest home that works for Doug and I right now. We both wanted to be in a small town, he needed a little land for a dog and a horse and I needed a bigger kitchen. We love the small town feel and being out of the city. We are so grateful for the wonderful friends and neighbors that have made us feel so welcome! We feel like they have taken us in as one of their own. We even have invites for Sunday dinner which is so nice. We are happy to be in our 1st home and in such a great home!

We have a wonderful ward. We are in the Choir and we teach the CTR 5 class which some days can be alot of work but they we are excited to be their teacher and are doing our best. Last Sunday I worked so hard on my Christmas lesson and walked out of the classroom wondering if they learned anything and then a little girl yelled "Mommy, mommy thats my teacher." She gave me a big hug and said Merry Christmas which made it all worth it. :)

Anyways, here is our home!

Stetson's 6 Month Pictures

Stetson is growing big and strong. He had his check up and is 28 inches and 21 1/2 pounds which puts him in the 90% for his age. He can sit up on his own and is so close to crawling it makes me nervous. But he still gets around pretty good on his own and is playing more indepenantly now that he can move on his own. He has two teeth and is working on more. But even with just two teeth he manages to eat alot of big boy food. He just started his clingy stage and thinks I need to hold him at all times. He will still go to other people he just cries when I leave the room which makes it hard to get things done. But I do enjoy every chance I get to snuggle him and read to him. Doug and I enjoy spending our time making him laugh. We are so grateful that we have him in our family and the joy he brings. His smile could light up anyones day. He is a very sweet spirited boy whom we love and adore dearly.

Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary!!
Doug and I have been happily married for 2 years now. I just wanted to thank my wonderful husband for all of his love and support. For always making my laugh, for getting up each morning to provide for our family and for making time for us to be together as a family. I am so thankful that he is a worthy priesthood holder to lead and guide our family. He is such a great father and I know that we will be together for all eternity. I love you Honey!

FUN PLAYDATES!!

Stetson and I spent a week having to much fun. We visited both Grandparents, Aunt Danica, Uncle Tyson and Jolene, Tamie and her baby Evan. It was so good to see everyone that we were able to. We love you and miss you all!!

Day 1 -

My bestest friend in the whole wide world had just received her mission call TO... RICHMOND, VIRGINIA speaking spanish. We are so proud and happy and excited for about her decision to go. We were able to spend time with her having a picnic at the temple. We were watching the missionaries come and go to get ideas for her and then we decided to go and do some shopping. She got some cute skirt and stetson got cute outfit and shoes.

Day 2 -

Stetson loved playing with his cousins, Isaac & Ethan. He thought he was such a big boy and they were so nice to share their toys while Jolene and I chatted away. When Tyson got home we loaded up, grabbed dinner and a movie and chilled. It was so nice to spend time with them. We love you tons!

Playing Outside

It was a nice day out last Saturday so we grabbed a blanket, toys and Stetson and I went and enjoyed the sunshine. He is such a happy smiling baby. He sits up by himself really good and now. He can get up on his hands and knees and will rock back and forth and he can scoot backwards but he hasnt figured out how to move forward yet which is a relief for me because I know once he can - I am in big trouble.

We love you Grandpa and Daddy!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

PARTY!! PARTY!!

We had a BBQ at my dad's house on Saturday which was delicious (but I forgot the camera). And then we hung out in the candle light since their power was out. Quite the adventure.

On Sunday we had a nice dinner with family at the Blacks home. Shaylee was so excited for the cake and asked me every 15 minutes if I was ready for my cake. She finally just brought it to me. Stetson thought that it was pretty cool and he got all excited. Jeremy and Jason watched football and we all just hung out and had a good day.

Kelsie took a much needed nap! She's a Busy Busy Woman!

We had a weekend full of fun, food and family! I really think that both families just used my birthday as a good excuse to get together and have good food. jk It was a great weekend - Thank you!

Familiar Faces

I was so excited when my Aunt Lucy called and said that she and my cousin Toni were in Vernal and wanted to meet up. It was so nice to see a familiar face and catch up. We got sandwiches and met up at the park for lunch.

It's crazy to think how time flies and we both have our own boys.

It was so good to see them and I was so sad to see them go. We definately didn't have enough time to get all the catch up in so well have to do it again.
