SherRon's 50th in Park City

I headed to Park City this weekend for a surprise 50th party for Aunt SherRon and was so glad I was able to go!  I am lucky to have the best in law/family ever and the overnight getaway was so much fun!

Me & Heather waiting to yell surprise:

SherRon had no clue!  It was so perfect!

So cute :)

The whole group of girls (+Dale & Dakota) at dinner:

Such a fun night at the lodge!

We stayed at The Escala Lodge and it was absolutely gorgeous!

Me, Stacy, & Whitni:

Spending the morning in snowy Park City, love it!

It was such a great getaway and such a fun time.  

Happy early birthday SherRon!!!!

Gma Bev's Halloween Party

I know it seems random to just now be blogging about my Mom's Halloween Party but I wanted to wait so I could post pics of my families reaction to the good news that I am pregnant!  Here are a few pics from the amazing party:

My handsome little skeleton:

The food was so fun!

The ambiance of the party was so awesome!

Seriously he I think I have the cutest skeleton ever!

We decided a fun way to tell everyone would be to get everyone together for a family pic and then Mike would say, 

1,2,3, WE'RE PREGNANT!

 
You have to watch for everyone's individual reaction, PRICELESS!

Aimee gets it:

Brandi gets it:

Mom gets it:

Dad, Justin, & Amanda get it:

And finally Ben gets it:

It was seriously the best way to tell them!  I LOVE IT!

{the little grape}

We are so excited to announce that Baby 2 will be joining us
June 5, 2011!!!

We couldn't be more excited for our little family and are excited that 'the little grape' is doing great!  It was so fun to get to see the tiny little one at our 10 week ultrasound and was amazed at how active this little one is already.  Will  points to my tummy and says 'baby in mommy's tummy' but we are pretty sure he has no clue what that really means :).  When we ask him if he wants a brother or a sister he replies with 'brother-sister' and then smiles, good thing there was only one baby in there at the ultrasound!  I am finally starting to feel pretty good again and was amazed at how much I forgot being pregnant that first little bit sucks :).  Its a good thing we forget right?! 

Utah State vs BYU

Mike and his friend Mark decided to take the kiddos the Utah State vs BYU basketball game tonight in Provo.  Will was pretty excited all day and kept running around the house yelling basketball all day long.  I think its so cute the guys braved it with the kids and I know they all had such a fun time!

Will, Noah, Mark, & Leah

Will insisted on wearing his Utah shirt and seriously wouldn't let me put anything else on him!  Mike said they got some pretty funny looks :)

Will vs the Stairs

Once again Will has proven to me that he is 100% all boy!  Tonight he insisted that we open the child gate to the downstairs and then he proceeded to take his blue tunnel and climb inside and then slide down the stairs on his tummy.  We were seriously laughing so hard!!!  For starters Will has NEVER seen any kids slide down the stairs let alone deciding to do it in a blue tunnel.  Oh man this kid makes us laugh!

LOVE that look of pure joy :)

Mike's 'Work' Trip (aka:Golf Weekend with the Boys!)

Mike was lucky enough to spend the last few days golfing and playing in St George and Vegas with his friends. We miss him tons when he is gone but LOVE that he gets to play and have fun every once in a while, especially since he works so hard all the time!

How bout them Jazz!!

I am so glad its Jazz season again!  We were lucky enough to get last minute tickets to the game tonight and had the best seats ever!!!!  We even had our own parking spot in front of ESA, it was pretty awesome.  The game was intense and after double over time the JAZZ WON!!!

Another Year Older

Mike turned the BIG 29 today and we kept things pretty boring this year and just relaxed at home after church.  Whitni came up and made Mike's favorite Mexican Mole and we spent the evening laughing and having fun together.  One thing I absolutely LOVE about my cute hubby is his sense of humor and ability to laugh at himself and not take life too seriously.  For example Mike found this pic of himself at Rogan's wedding and emailed it to us asking what he thought our caption would be for the picture.  His was:

"how to pass gas during a wedding ceremony"

Oh my heck SO FUNNY!  

I love you babe and wish you the happiest birthday ever!

My Handsome Little Skeleton

I am completely in love with my handsome little skeleton!  I had such a hard time trying to pick what he would be this year but I think Will's costume ended up being perfect for him.  Since the weather was really rainy and cold today we decided to head to Fashion Place Mall and let Will do some trick-or-treating before we handed out candy at home.  It ended up working out so perfect for Will this year! 

Mr Skeleton

Will LOVES the escalator :)

So cute!

Who needs candy when you play in a car?!

uncle rodan's wedding

Today was the big day for Sandra and Rogan!  Will was lucky enough to get to be the ring bearer for the big ceremony for 'uncle rodan' and he definitely couldn't have looked any cuter!  He refused to carry the pillow so Mike ended up carrying it but it was pretty cute :).

Congrats to the happy couple!

Okay is he not the most stylin ring bearer EVER?!

Whitni looked gorgeous!

Will, Mike, Dakota, Dale

Gammy Stacy, Will, and Whitni

Such a great night and we wish the newlyweds well!

I heart my Whitni!

I am so grateful to have Whitni as my little sister.  She always makes me laugh and I couldn't have gotten any luckier with just a great sister in law.  I LOVE HER!  This evening we had a mix up with Sandra's bachelorette party so me and Whit decided to party it up by ourselves :).  We grabbed some ice cream at Gateway and then saw a movie and laughed our butts off!

Love you Whitni!

-the ring of fire-

We planned a FHE to go up in the canyon and make smores and talk about conference as a family.  But tonight was freezing so we decided to grab a new fire pit and get cozy in Brent and Stacy's back yard.  It was relaxing and we all had a great night!

Love you guys!

{happy birthday stacy}

Whitni and I planned a fun night of pedicures and dinner for Stacy's "35" birthday :).  We had such a fun time and I honestly haven't laughed so hard in such a long time!  It was seriously so much fun!

Happy Birthday Stacy!
