something to get excited about

Can't wait.

cousins went pickin

We did some apple pickin yesterday at a neighbors house. Pretty fun stuff if you can't tell. It was actually the only happy part about yesterday. Banks is teething and has been running a fever for about 24 hours now because of it. Let's just say last night was the longest night I've ever had with him. And let's just say I totally remember thinking "what's the big deal about teething?" each time I heard a parent complain about it.

Now I know.

something to make you laugh

Need a good laugh?

a family portrait

My sister Sam and her hubby Chas filmed this for us.

I cry every time I watch it.

This is my lame attempt to update my blog. Banks is keeping me busy these days especially since he is a walk man. I always have to keep my eye on him or else he's climbing up the oven or trying to eat my makeup. Sorry for those of you who follow me and instagram...this aint nothin you haven't seen already.

Sweet baby Hero came to play and we matched.

 Already bustin out...round 2 is a whole other ball game.

 Banks and Michael playing who gets the guitar pick.

Crazy hair for Banks

Banks got a haircut and has staring contests with the neighbors dog.

My sweet neighbors adopted me for the day and let me bottle their home grown peaches and tomatoes...

a dream come true.

 Got domestic and made an apple pie.

Michael bought me this beauty.

 A 2012 Subaru Outback for me and the babes. 

He sure knows the way to my heart... a Subaru:)

all things florida

Last week was spent in Florida. Every few years we head out there for Michael's family reunion. Endless beach, pool, and windsurfing, plus good food and company. Banks was obsessed with the beach and tried to drown himself about a dozen times. 

We'll be back sunny Florida...thanks for a good time!

remember when this happened?

I call this one, torpedo.

We're expecting another little Oogie in March!

 Hopefully I won't get that big with this one cause the Doc promised me he'd induce me 1 week before my due date since Banks was so big and rattled my cages to say the least. 

We are thrilled and the morning sickness has already set in... so that's when ya know we ain't messin around.

more walks

first steps!!!

wild man in the bath

This went on for about 15 minutes...no joke.

before...

When we bought our house, we were lucky enough to be spared major fix ups. Minor keep ups here and there but nothing big. However, our deck is in some serious need of a face lift as you can see. I'm not sure why someone chose to stain it a burnt orange. So, we've decided to paint it and then stripe the floor boards. I can't wait for the finished product. We just got started on the painting last night and realized quickly how big a project it truly is. Stay tuned for pics of the final product which will blow your mind... I hope.

My super talented cousin Lauren produced this animated film for her BYU Animation Final.

 It is pretty much the best thing, and will put a smile on your face.
