Happy Halloween...

This halloween was kinda strange this year, seeing how we are now in cedar and all my family is down in st. george, but it was kinda nice us to be with the boys, dress them up and hit a couple of houses and then call it a night. Usually halloween is a long day for us, we are usually making carmel popcorn balls most of the day at my moms house and then all the cousins get out and go trick or treating together but this is was quiet and low key for sure. It was kiptins first halloween and he really was not in to it at all, he didnt want to put on his costume or keep it on, but kaylin was really excited to be a pirate and go trick or treating and get lots of candy. A few days before Halloween we carved our pumpkins..kaylins was "toothless the dragon", mine was a "cat in a witches boot" and nicks was "fox" racing sign and cute little kippers was just a happy pumpkin face! Kaylin had fun with grandma haslem making a spooky house together! Kaylin was such a cute pirate and kiptin was a cute little skunk!






Happy first Halloween to our little kiptin boy!

10 months old already....

Seriously my baby is 10 months old already, time has really been flying by, in just two months he will be 1, that's crazy. I love him so much more everyday, he just fills me with so much joy, every time he smiles he seriously lights up the room, his smile is so big and with his two little teeth it just melts me every time!
Iam seriously slacking in the picture and updating department, this move is making me crazy. anyways here are some things about kiptin for the past month:

He has been standing all on his own and sometimes even dares to take a step or two before falling back down to the ground.

He walks all along the furniture to get where he want to go.

He is getting his 3rd tooth, top right one.

He talk and talks like we know just what he is talking about, so cute.

when he hears music he just starts bouncing and singing.

He is about 23 lbs

He is a busy body, always on the move, usually into things he shouldn't be of course!

He has been saying Mama and Dada for about a month now!

MAMA was his FIRST WORD!!! love him for that!

He loves kaylin and talks to him all the time as if they have their own little conversations going on. its really cute.

He waves HI and BYE

When he gets excited he holds up both hands and waves them up and down while yelling and laughing!

He loves...apples, all kinds of fruit, frozen yogurt pops, eggs, bread, and lots more...he is an eating machine!!

He is learning so fast and is growing way too fast.

A new adventure...

This is crazy. We may be out of our minds or at least nick is out of his mind for wanting to move us to cedar city at this time of year???? but part of me is so excited for a new family adventure to start!
We decided to make the move to cedar since nick will be heading up a company there and I don't see why I would ever want to make him drive 2+ hours every day back and forth, that's 2 hours of him not being with his family/boys/wife..I couldn't do that to him or the boys.
I LOVE living right here in the home we bought right before we got married, its the only place we have ever owned and lived (except when we lived in Hawaii of course) but this house is our first house, our life started here, our boys were born and came home to this house, we have so many great memories here. I LOVE my neighbors, I LOVE kaylins preschool and he LOVES it so much and is learning so much that i hate the thought of him having to leave it, I love the ward we have always been in, I love living by my family, but its time for something new.

We are buying a house in cedar in the only place i love there which is making this a Whole lot easier..the one this that is making it pretty easy to move is the new SPACE and ROOM TO BREATH i will have and we will not be so crammed in a little space anymore!

This will be a big change for me, and i don't do very well with big change...i really don't like the snow and even more I HATE TO DRIVE IN IT, but nick cant be more excited to have it snowing right in his backyard, and its nice to see him excited about it. I have to look at the bigger picture through this whole thing..my family is everything to me, i will do anything for us to be together more and make more memories together and this is just one of those times..and that makes me excited!

I was not ready to let go of our first place as I'm pretty attached to it even though i do want a bigger house, i just don't want it to not be mine anymore so after i begged nick and pestered him over and over we decided to rent it for a while just in case we head back this way, i can come back to this house!

Here is to a new Family Adventure!
