Seth's 2nd Birthday Party

I am finally getting around to posting about Seth's 2nd Birthday Party. We had a fun little birthday party for Seth on his birthday. Seth LOVES Elmo's so I decided to have the theme be Elmo and he loved it. He had lots of family and friends over to help us celebrate, and he got VERY spoiled with lots of presents. Thanks for everybody that came and helped him celebrate his 2nd birthday.

Church

I am grateful for all the blessings I have received for being a member of the church and being raised in the church.

Our House and vehicles

I am grateful for our house that we can go home to everyday and be together as a family! Also for our vehicles that we drive around to get to places we need to be. I can't imagine not having either one of these things, they are so important to me and I am grateful I have them both!

Families

I am grateful for both my family and Brandon's family. We both have amazing families that we love so much and are grateful to have them in our lives.

Happy 2nd Birthday Seth.....

Our little guy is 2 today! I can't believe he is 2 already, the time has gone by so fast and it makes me sad to think he is not our little baby anymore!! Seth has brought so much joy into our lives I wouldn't change it for the world. It has been so amazing to watch him over the last 2 years to see him grow and learn so much. When I think of Seth these are thing I think about and it describes him pretty good!

Jobs

I am grateful for our jobs that we have and are able to go to everyday!!

November

I Love the month of November, it makes me stop and think of all the things I am grateful for and blessed with. I have decide everyday from now till Thanksgiving I am going to post something I am grateful for. I am grateful for my family and being able to be a mom & a wife! I love Brandon and Seth so much they get me through life's challenges and make me look forward to the future. They mean the world to me! Being a mom is the best thing in the world, I love it when Seth will looks at me and say "I love you mom" or "thanks mom", "please mom" I could go on with what Seth will say to me or do for me that just melts my heart! Brandon is a great husband he is so giving and thoughtful. He is always trying to do things to improve on being a better dad and a husband, he is such a hard worker and willing to do anything to make sure he can provide for the family! He is a great dad, Seth loves to play and be with his dad! He is a Great husband and Dad

Happy Halloween

Seth was a little cow this year! He had so much fun this year he was really getting into it and enjoying being dressed up (It doesn't look to pleasant in this picture but he had just woke up)!

Seth and Grandma Dance at her school. We took Seth and Kash out to my moms school and they where able to be in the spooke parade with the rest of the kids!

The little cow delivering his Halloween treats he made

He was one tuckered out little cow by the end of the night. I didn't think he would be able to sleep with as much as candy as he had in his system!

Carving Pumpkins

Last Tuesday we decided it was time to carve pumpkins with the kids. Krystal made chili and we eat and carved pumpkins all night. It was such a fun night we decided that we are going to make that into a tradition to get together every year to make dinner and carve pumpkins! It was fun to see everybody show off there artistic skills, I think the adults had a better time doing them than Seth and Kash did! It was a FUN night, thanks Bryan and Krystal for carving pumpkins with us!!

Brandon and Bryans pumpkins. Krystals turned out really good too but the picture I took wasn't very good, and my pumpkin wasn't even worth taking a picture of!!

So Amy informed me that I needed to update my blog, so I decided that would be my main goal tonight! I started thinking of what we have been up to and decided we have been busy but I just don't have any pictures to show for it (I am horrible at taking pictures). Some of the things he have been up to are: --We got a new car. Which is not a suprise to anyone! Anybody that knows Brandon, knows he likes to sell and buy things so we are always getting different vehicles. --Seth and I went to Boise with my mom and meet Amy their and we stayed with Stephanie, Garrick and the kids and had a great time spending time with them! --Brandon has been hunting with his brother Zach and some of his friends and it sounds like they had a great time even though they froze to death! --I even canned corned this year with my mom and Krystal. It was the first time I have ever done canning. It was fun and thanks to my mom and dad for having a good size garden this year we where able to do can alot of corn! --I have been busy doing crafts and sewing with my mom and sister (which is all I have pictures of!) So that pretty much is all we have been doing for the last month! Here are some of the pictures of the crafts and sewing projects I have been working on and actually got done! This is my recipe holder for when I actually do cook! This is another blanket I have made for Seth! Can a little boy ever have to many blankets?!

And my Halloween door hanger. It was super easy and fun and I am always up to doing crafts that are easy!

Seth's 21 month pictures

Seth's pictures where taken a couple weeks ago and I just got them back. They where Taken by Leah Stallings, she did an awsome job on them. I have been so bad at getting his pictures taken, I started off good when he was born we got newborn ones, then at 3 months we got them done, then after that it was over, we had them done again at 10 months and then these at 21 months! Hopefully I will get better with it on my next children!

Vegas

Our last summer vacation ended going to Las Vegas to see Amy and Skyler. We had a great time visiting them and seeing where they live which is a very cute apartment and in a perfect location.

We did alot of walking, shopping, laughing, playing the penny slots, which I did walk away winning $460.00 so it was a successful part of the trip, eating (at some delicious restaurants), relaxing on our drive home, and sitting to watch people, which is VERY entertaining in Vegas! We think the fair is fun to people watch but it is nothing like Vegas! We had so much fun and where all sad to have to come home!

Don't mind the guy in the background! We don't know who he is!

Second Times the Charm

Second time is the charm when it comes to Seth getting his hair cut. The first time he hated getting his hair cut and cried the entire time. So needless to say when I took him in to get his haircut the second time I was a little nervous but he did awsome, he just sat on my lap and watched her do it and even let her use the electric clippers. So hopefully now he will enjoy getting his hair cut! He was so proud of his haircut he walked around all day touching his hair saying "haircut"! I love right after his haircut cause he looks like a little man!

July Overview

Boating, Fireworks, Bear Lake, Golfng pretty much sums up what we have been doing in July. It has been a very busy but a fun month! We started off the month with having BBQ's watching the fireworks in Idaho Falls and then going boating. We then went to Bear Lake with Brandon's family for a week and enjoyed every minute of it. We had lots of swimming, golfing, boating, and relaxing! It was a GREAT week! So overall July was a great month and looking forward to August being just as fun! 4th of July
