Sweet things!

My hubby and I have now been married for 2 years! Today is our 2nd anniversary and I am very excited about it. This past year has been amazing and crazy! We had a baby :), and we moved into out beautiful home. Those are 2 big changes that usually a normal person would spread out for a few years, but not us. We say, why wait? No really it has been a big year for us. I can't say that it has been easy because it for sure hasn't, but I can say that it has been worth every disagreement, hard time, and of course good times. I can say that I love my husband more now than ever. I can't believe how lucky I am to have him forever. I have a man who is my best friend, who is so very patient even when i don't deserve it. It amazes me how much he puts up with and I can't even say how grateful I am that he does. He amazes me everyday with his hard work and dedication. He is the best dad to our sweet son. I couldn't have found a better match for me! I feel so blessed! This past year has been wonderful, and I'm excited for all the years to come! I love you Jeffrey!

Jayden's Favorite things...

Jayden has a few things that he absolutely loves. The first of course his mom and dad. The second would be balls for sure. There are seriously balls all over my house from this kid. He loves them! He carries one around with him all day pretty much. Sometimes he will put it down to push his toy cars everywhere, but mostly he just loves the big round things. He also loves to be in the front seat of the car. He loves holding on to the steering wheel and playing with all the nobs on the dash. He doesn't like being in his car seat any more because he wants to be up in front with mom driving. That makes driving place so fun, let me tell ya. Jayden has brought so much joy and laughter into our family, it's amazing. We seriously go to bed every night amazed at how awesome he is! I can't believe that he will be 1 years old next week! Where does the time go! We love our little man! Love him!

So handsome...

Cheese!

Ninja Jayden

I know Halloween was a few weeks ago but I am still going to post these pictures because they are so cute. Ever since Jayden was born Jeff for some reason has called him ninja, so of course he had to be a ninja for Halloween. When I first put him in his costume I thought he looked like a lady bug, but with the head band it looks more manly. I made the costume and it took me a lot longer than it should have but it worked! For Halloween Jeff's mom, Sue, had a Halloween party for all the grand kids. She made this awesome spook alley that went with a cool story. It was a lot of fun. Thanks Mama Sue! On Halloween night we went to a trunk or treat and then went home to hand out candy. It was a fun night. Me and my ninja
Dad and Jayden Eating a cupcake. We introduced him to sweets a little early. Now he knows what candy is just by looking at the wrapper. What have we done!

Yummy!

This is a tunnel thing that Jeff got Jayden and he loves it.

Halloween Party!

So, this past weekend Jeff and I threw a Halloween Party for some friends and family. It was a great success and so much fun. 32 people showed up in a sinister fashion. I was very impressed by the work that a lot of people put into their costumes, like the manly women who won the costume contest, and Dracula who played the part very well, and then there was a gorilla man that got to hot in his full body costume that he had to go change, the 2 M&M couple in spandex, the angel and the devil, many witches, a white Mexican chick, and lots of others. We started out by eating a great dinner thanks to everyone who helped by bring a spooktacular salad or a wicked dessert. We had movie trivia where we had clues set up all over our house that were part of a scary Halloween movie or just a move where there is a villain in it. Everyone had to go around finding the clue and figuring out what movie it went with. It was a lot of fun to see how people would interpret different things. The winners of this game were Jared and Tara in 1st place, and Mindy and Jeremy in 2nd place. Then we had few guessing jars full of creepy things that everyone had to guess how many things were in the jars. That was pretty fun. But the highlight of the night were the music videos. Jeff and I put together 5 bags full of random things, 5 different crazy songs, and split all our guest into 5 groups. Each group had 10 minutes to prepare some kind of dance or lip sink to the song and perform it for everyone. The performances were HILARIOUS! It was so much fun to see everyone come out of their comfort zone and show us some moves. It was a great time that's for sure! We're so glad that all lots of people were able to get babysitters and come, and we missed everyone who didn't come. We'll have to catch you next year. Thanks to everyone who brought food, and thanks for dressing up. Everyone looked awesome!!!

The whole gang
Jason was a white trash guy and shaved his head just for the occasion. It was great

Me and some of the girls. Can you guess which one I am?

Pretty scary I know....

It's WALKING Time!

Jayden has finally come to a huge milestone in his life! He is walking like a big boy! WA HOO! We are very excited, but I have to tell you it's very weird as well. He is still so small that it kind of looks funny, but still cute. He took his first steps about a month and a half ago, and has been working hard everyday to be where he is now. I love watching him. He will stand up on his own, take ten or more steps and fall on his bum, and then he'll get back up and try again. This happens all day long, except for when he wants to go fast and then he'll go back to crawling. I can't believe that my little boy who's now 10 and 1/2 months old is walking, and next month he'll turn 1! Crazy, crazy. I swear it was just yesterday that he came to this world. Time goes way to fast! I love being able to be at home with my little man. I'm so grateful for my sweet husband who goes to work everyday so I can be at home. I know that he would rather be home playing with Jayden and me, so thank you Jeffrey!

Summer Adventures!

This summer Jeff and I have been planning a day for my Aunt, my Uncle, and my Uncle friends from England, to come and see the red rocks of southern Utah. They came at the beginning of September and it was a blast. We took them to Zion National Park, drove through the canyon and the tunnel, and hiked up observation point to get a great overlook of the whole canyon. We had a yummy lunch and then went on a sweet Rhino tour through the sand dunes. Our neighbors were kind enough to come and guide us and it was a riot. My Uncle and his friend we so funny. They were making us all cry from laughter. They put on these goggles and looked hilarious. We went to the Fred Flinstone houses in the Sand Dunes, got stuck a couple times, and saw an awesome view that over looked Sandhollow. It was a great ride. We had a lot of fun. My Uncle, my Aunt, and there friend Ernie
