New Big Boy Bed!

Zenny is now a big boy!! We took the crib down and put up this toddler bed for him.

This his first look at it.

Nathan needed a picture of his bed too.

Here is the bed after we put the thomas sheet set on.

You probably wondering why I didn't have the boys share Nathan's full size bed. Well, That's because I wanted them to actually go to sleep and Zenny can hardly handle it by himself. Together just isn't going to work right now. Plus, he can get in and out of this bed by himself.

Zenny is loving his new found freedom which means mommy now has to read books to him while he falls asleep so that we know he stays in bed for nap and bedtime and not destroying something. We also keep the door shut so that he can't destroy the house or hurt himself should he wake up before his parents.

Halloween

On Halloween we went to Black Island Farms with a friend.



The Boys had fun going down the slides, seeing the animals and vegetables and picking pumpkins from the pumpkin patch.

Going to find the perfect pumpkin.

Nathan found his pumpkin!

Zenny found his Pumpkin!

The boys pumpkins before I carved them.

The boys' pumpkins after carving- Nathan picked the BAT CAT and Zenny got the GRAVEYARD GHOST.

Bedtime Story

This is a video of Michael doing his version of Five little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed. The Boys Love to have him read this to them. This is the Rock and Roll version. He also does an opera version.

Meet Reeses

We adopted a kitty last week. She is 7 months old and an orange/white tabby. Her name is Reeses, but I like to call her Reesey. She is a really friendly but mellow cat. We love having her around. Michael really wants to get a dog but likes cats too. Nathan all but begged me to let him "borrow him". I didn't really grow up with animals so I don't really care either way. Although, I'm not fond of the hair shedding so Reesey will get lots of grooming every week. Here are a few pics.

My Birthday!! Happy 5th Anniversary!!

My Birthday was August 23rd and our anniversary was August 26th. For my birthday, Michael took me to IFLY to go skydiving in the simulator. It was so much fun. I couldn't get the video to upload but here are some pictures of me flying.

For our anniversary, we went to the Hines Mansion in Provo and stayed in this room- Winter Dreams. It was so romantic. We stayed at the mansion 5 years ago on our honeymoon- in the library; picture of the library on the bottom.

This is the library. The tub is up stairs and the bathroom was behind the wall. It was painted to look like a bookcase and it was cool as it was like a secret passage.

Anyways, we had tons of fun. We went out to dinner to Carraba's and then went back to the mansion and watched a movie.

Vacation in Tucson

In July, we went down to Tucson to visit family and pick up our van. Here were some of the highlights:
