MESSY TIMES

For some reason this is the face he always pulls!

Gotta have the Canadian bib!!

WHY I LOVE MY HUSBAND

I woke up today to start cleaning the house and organizing. My husband joined later and this is what he was wearing!! Oh how I love him!

THANKSGIVING DAY

Owen getting REAL food! My sister loves giving him some.

Grandma with the kids.

IT'S OFFICIAL

WE HAVE THE KEYS TO OUR HOME! We are planning the move sometime this week. It's very exciting and pictures to follow for sure!

JUST THE TWO OF US

I love Sundays!!

FUN TIMES

Cortney came to visit today as well. She just wanted to cuddle Owen...very cute! She will be a very sweet BIG sister! I named the last picture "A look I inherited from my daddy"!

Thanksgiving fun

Today I decided to make turkey cupcakes for our Young Women's activity. Claire and Ethan came to visit so they joined in on the fun as well. They had lots of fun decorating these cupcakes but much more fun eating them! I thought they turned out pretty cute...but then I took them to my neighbors to share and my neighbor said..."how cute..snowmen!" WHATEVER!

NEW BABY

Without further adieu.......New Baby Boston!!! She doesn't have a name. She was born yesterday at 10:17 a.m. She is adorable. Alison seems to be recovering well..and unlike Owen this baby eats like a champ! The twins are also very excited to have a new baby sister!!

FIRST STEPS

Owen decided that on Saturday morning he was going to start walking. He took his first steps to his daddy! Then back again to me. It was quite exciting!!!

HOUSE

This is the only picture of the house I could find right now..more to come..ones I take myself.

WE FOUND A HOUSE

I'm sorry I haven't posted anything new for a while but I have been busy! Many of you have heard that we found a house. Yes this is true! However, it's not finalized yet. It's in Salt Lake and it's a new home that was built after an old home was torn down. The best part is Blake and I both liked it!! Thought that might never happen. I will keep you updated. I love this picture. Don't you just ever wish you could hear what they are thinking!!!!

MY SKINNY MINI

So I took Owen to the doctor today for his nine month check-up. It was the first appointment that he didn't have to get any immunizations...BUT he got a flu shot...POOR GUY! He can't catch a break. He weighed:

17 pounds 4 ounces.....if any of you are curious that's 5th percentile
30.3 inches tall............that's 94th percentile


One extreme to the other!! My little guy is going to be one tall skinny boy!

HALLOWEEN FUN

Every year Blake's work has this huge Halloween party. I was really excited this year because I had Owen to take. Blake looks more like the Pope than a Woopie Cushion in our picture but that's okay. I'm not eating any candy right now but something came over me while I was there and I felt the need to hoard!! I got so much candy and it was all big candy bars! It must be the child in me.

HALLOWEEN PARTY

Considering it was a hundred degrees in the cafeteria, Owen held up pretty well. Owen was a Woopie Cushion (my sister said "your making your kid be a fart bag"...I didn't like it when she put it that way!!)

Jack...the smurf!


Ethan...a blue cat and Claire....what else but a princess!

The Larkins..2 batmans...a scary girl.. and a pretty girl!

And finally Courtney...appropriately a busy bee!

MY PUMPKIN PRIDE

This year I decided to really carve some pumpkins. It took me FOREVER but I really quite enjoyed it! I put this out on Halloween and about 20 people came to our door trick-or-treating! Thats it....20 people! Oh well I enjoyed looking at them!
