Cute Cousins

Melissa (Miles' wife) and their twin girls are down visiting from Utah so we went to play with them last night. They are such happy girls and even though Nathan ignored them most of the time we got a few cute pictures.

Grampie came to visit

Ryan's Dad and sister, A'lea came to stay with us this weekend to get some Nathan time. We had so much fun going to Oak Glen and then down to the Birch Aquarium in San Diego. It's so hard living far away from Ryan's family sometimes, we want so badly for our children to be close to their grandparents. I'm so glad Nathan got time to bond with his Grampie and we can't wait for everyone to come back down for Christmas.

At Oak Glen where we pressed cider and ate apple pie. Yummy!

My New Favorite Thing

Digital Scrapbooking. I've seen a lot of other people digitally scrap stuff and finally got brave enough to try myself. Thanks to my amazing husband for teaching me how to use the program and everything. I'm so excited about all the cute stuff I can make now.

Punchins

So I've been trying to get Nathan excited about Halloween. He loves pumpkins or as he says punchins (trust me it sounds super cute when he says it). My mom bought him this funky visor that he walks around wearing upside down and singing "spida hat, spida hat" and today we made little ghosts out of his feet. Other than that our family has just been enjoying time together, conference was wonderful to watch this past weekend and Ryan's parents came down for a funeral so we got to spend time with them too.

Why haven't we ever gone to the fair before

Friday night we went to the LA Fair with some friends and it was SO MUCH FUN! Even though I couldn't go one the rides with Ryan, Kyle and I had fun watching Ryan and Jenny go crazy. Nathan loved all the animals and the big fat corn dog he inhaled. I can't believe we didn't eat more food than we did, my mouth was watering the whole time. Everyone go to the fair.

Dirt, Dirt and more Dirt

trying to catch a fish

This weekend we went camping in Mammoth with our friends Spencer, Stacy, Randy and Chelsea. It was a very fun and relaxing trip despite the fact that our air mattress had a hole and went flat as did the second one we bought up there hence I had to sleep on the hard floor. Sleeping while pregnant is uncomfortable enough without adding in rocks poking you in the back. Still, we had fun fishing, sitting around the campfire and hiking. Hiking; something else that is hard enough without being pregnant but I was proud of myself for doing it. It wasn't a very hard hike and the waterfall we saw is beautiful. Nathan was definitely ready to come home today but looked pretty happy playing in the dirt the whole weekend. The proof is in the pictures.

It's a Boy!

I had an ultrasound on Saturday and we found out we are having another boy. I'm so excited for Nathan to have a little brother to play with. Now if we could only decide on a name. Any suggestions?
