Welcome 2011!

Happy New Year everyone!!  

No baby yet, but we are hoping things start moving soon!

We will keep you updated and hope you all have a safe and happy new year!

Tanya's Wedding!

On November 13 my friend Tanya got married! I was so excited to be a part of her special day! She looked so beautiful too! Hunter was the ring bearer and he was adorable in his tux.  

Here he is chasing the flower girl (Presley) all over the place.  They had so much fun together.

The highlight for Hunter was the dancing for sure! He reminded me so much of Mikey at our wedding.  He would not stop dancing for anything! 

I guess he did stop for a cupcake :)

Mike was such a trooper through this whole thing. He was on babysitting duty while I was in the wedding and then he video taped a lot of it too!

Catch up...

Wow. Where does time go? I can't believe that it is November and that Thanksgiving is next week. When did that happen? Anyway, here are some pictures of the goings-on in our family!

August:

Here are the boys enjoying the monsoons:

Mikey started second grade:

September:

 Introducing Alex Joshua Hunter

Big AL was born September 8 and was Nick and Jessika's 4th BOY!! He is absolutely adorable! 

Julia and I went to the Women's Expo in September and it was awesome! They had everything you could imagine! We even got to see Kirstie Allie up close and personal.  I have to say, she doesn't look nearly as big as the tv makes her out to be! I guess the camera really does add 10 lbs.  Keep that in mind when you look at pictures of me...   :)

Here is Julia trying out the Amika.  Amazing! It was such a fun day!

Here is Hunter at Hailey's birthday party.  He loved the splash pad! :) We also celebrated Kristi and Jacob's Birthdays in September! I can't find a single picture from it though! Happy Birthday to them both!!!  

 October:

My friend Tanya got married November 13th and I threw her shower October 2nd.  It was so fun to be able to decorate with girly themes and colors! 

We went to the farm again this year with my whole family to celebrate Caden, Jeff and Clayton's birthdays.  It was fun, as always!  Hunter was NOT cooperating for pictures, which is a total bummer but bound to happen with a two-year-old...

My mom got everyone adorable outfits to coordinate with fall.  I love her sponsorship! :)

All of the kids took a break with some snow cones and they looked so cute lined up!  

Carving Pumpkins:

Hunter was not a huge fan of the pumpkin guts. I remember when Mikey was about 3 he freaked out about the guts too.  I can totally understand though.  They are kinda freaky...

Trunk or Treat

We went to my parents trunk or treat this year and it was so fun to get to see Nana and Wardy as well as Maia and Kristi!

The boys had a blast!

Cutest scarecrow I've ever seen!

Mikey's silly face

Trick Or Treat!

 Dash from the Incredibles

Hunter was so much fun this year! He actually understood the idea of going up to the door and getting candy! He struggled a little with saying "trick or treat!" so instead, he would walk up to the door and say "I pease have some" with his hand out. I didn't realize until like door #5 that he was holding every single piece of candy for dear life in his little hands. I kept having to remind him to put it in the bucket. 

I made my shirt using freezer paper stenciling.  I have heard all about that method but this is my first attempt!  It works so well! I finally understand what all the hype is about! :)

Mike's sis and brother-in-law, Paul, played a little role reversal this Halloween. Julia, Jeff, Pauline and Tim were there too but I don't have any pictures of them! I'm sorry!

Dillon's had a Halloween party too so here I am with my friend Jessica.

November:

On November 6th my sister-in-law and mother-in-law threw me a gorgeous baby shower!! It was so fun and I was so glad to see everyone!  Thank you to everyone who came and for all of your generous gifts!

 Melissa, Pauline and Me!

Some old school friends. Brittany, Me, Tanya, Krysten, Hollie, Nicki and Eileen.

The adorable favors!

Thank you everyone!!!

Gone Fishing:

We went fishing with the boys the other day and it was so fun! They had such a blast and it was a gorgeous day.  We got KFC because that was a tradition with Mike's Grandpa.  

Click on the collage to see the pictures more closely. I should have done this the whole time! :) Sorry, I'm a rookie!!

Anyway, I will have pictures from the wedding last weekend coming soon! Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!!!
