Twilight Night!

Well I finally saw Twilight! Even though it just came out I'm one of the last of all my friends to see it! I just finished the first book on Monday, and now I'm on to the second! I loved the book, of course, and I really liked the movie! Some of the characters weren't what I imagined, like I loved Edward except I thought he should have been much more muscular you know, but all in all I was happy with it! I went with my friends, from left to right starting with the top row, Jojo, Me, Sara, Emily, Brianna, and Julia! Then we went for icecream at Cold Stone, YUMMY!!

Fox Photoshoot

The other day I was fortunate enough to have my good friend Lily take some beautiful pictures of my little baby Fox! He is almost 4 months old and I can't believe how fast he is growing up! He is such a sweet baby, and he did so well at the photo session. We had so many turn out so cute, these are just a few of my favorites! I was also able to be in some of the pictures, I just love being a mommy! I feel so blessed to have 3 wonderful, beautiful, healthy children! Thank you Lily, for capturing these beautiful moments!

Beach Day!

So last Saturday we finally made it to the beach! It's the first time that we've been since we came home from summer vacation, also making it Fox's first time at the beach! I can't believe it! But with a new baby it's not always so easy to get out! We went to our favorite beach, Cerro Gordo, and it was beautiful! The weather was perfect, the water was warm, and the sand was soft! Haley always insists that we make her a sand mermaid whenever we visit the beach! Isn't she beautiful!
Fox was really good the whole time, he seemed to enjoy being outside, but not being in the water! He flinched and started to cry when I dipped his foot in the ocean!
I love this picture of Sean and Weston, it's like Sean and his little mini him! They were watching the sand cover their feet!
Although Fox did enjoy the beach, he slept for about half the time we were there, which I was very happy about!

Ladies Night!

Thursday night I got to go out with some of my friends!! It was so much fun, we all left our kids home with their daddies, even our babies, and really enjoyed ourselves! Since there were no good movies to see, we opted for a late dinner at Chili's! I can't remember the last time I luaghed that hard! The food was yummy, the conversation was hilarious and the company was awesome! Thanks for great night out girls!My friends from left, Lily, Me, Katie, and Amy!

It's always good to get away and relax and laugh with girlfriends! It gives me an excuse to dress up, which I love to do, since on a day to day basis I'm just running around in grubbies, and it gives me a chance to realize how much I love and miss my kids when I don't see them for a few hours! And it reminds me how awesome my husband is to support me and watch the kids whenever I need him to!!

Halloween, Trick-or-Treat!

So here we are on Halloween trick-or-treating in my friend Jojo's neighborhood! Weston was dressed up as a cowboy/Indiana Jones (notice the "whip" in his hand) and Haley was a fairy!! I even made an effort and dressed up as a black cat, we had a great time walking the streets of the neighborhood, it almost felt like home except for how warm it was!!The next night we went to our ward trunk-or-treat party! Haley wanted to be a ballerina and Weston still a cowboy/Indiana Jones with a new hat! There were lots of games and a spooky alley before the actual trunk-or-treat and the kids had a blast! Of course for my kids it's all about the experience of Halloween because once it's all over they seem to be over everything, even the candy! It usually sits at our house for a month then I throw it away! Crazy kids!


Our family at the ward party, this is the only picture I got of Fox in his skeleton costume! How could I have been such a slacker!

School Parties

Haley and Weston had their school parties last week, and they were so cute! Haley had a more grown-up party this year that the class had planned themselves. They decided to bring food and bob for apples! Haley wanted to bring mashed potatoes, while everyone else was bringing cookies, punch, chips, etc. I thought that was pretty funny, but I convinced her to let me bring chips and dip instead, yeah, less work for me!Haley dove right in to try and get an apple! I was quite impressed, even though she was unsuccessful! Thanks to Amy for catching this moment on camera for me!

Weston was dressed up like a scarecrow and sang a little scarecrow song and a fall song! He was so cute doing all the actions! And he even knew all the words to the songs and sang them nice and loud! I was so proud at how well he listened to his teacher and did what he was asked to do!
His class also made spiders that they could eat, but of course Weston passed, he doesn't like to eat things that require him to get sticky or messy!! What a silly kid!!

First Smile Caught on Camera!

Well I have been meaning to put this on here for some time now but I haven't had any time to do it! Fox started smiling about a month ago but I could never get a picture of it. But he loves getting his diaper changed and he loves laying on his changing table, he smiles so much there, go figure! So one day when I was about to change his diaper, he started smiling and cooing at me and I finally got it! But it's still not the biggest smile that he does! I need to take the picture when I'm not the one trying to make him smile!!
