Pumpkins and Halloween

Halloween is so much fun with kids! Tegan had so much fun carving pumpkins and trick or treating! He knew exactly what to do...knock, hold out bag, and run off! lol He was hilarious! Can't wait until next year when he can talk more.

Christmas Update

Tegan amazes me everyday! That kid talks so much now! I worried to much about him not talking. He can say Momma, Daddy, Nana, Bumpa, Kylie, Chantz, No, Oh No! (his favorite phrase), What's that?, Where is it?, Ball, One-Two-Three, Seventeen (yes the most random thing haha), Please, More, Cracker, Snow, Kitty, Dog, Choo Choo, Ho Ho (Santa), Hat, Socks, Shoes, Go, Bye-Bye...and much more I just can't remember.
Yesterday I was watching him...he has an imaginary friend. HAHA He was sitting there motioning to have his "friend" to come sit with him. And was acting like he was playing with someone. It was really cute!
We have been super busy lately with life and the holidays. Including in one week I was in a car accident (yes again!) and David blew a tire on the other car. It has be over 2 weeks since the car accident and my car is still not fixed! Oh how I hate Police officers who do not file the accident, the high school student who will not call back with his report, and Insurance companies that take so long! My tail lights are out so hopefully I don't get pulled over and get a ticket...even if I do I will pass it on the insurance company. And due to these lovely events we of course do not have a car...so we are not able to go to Boise to spend time with David's family.
One day...hopefully soon I will get around to updating everyone on everything...with pics!
I am considering an easier way to read our now private blog...Please comment if actually are reading my blog...so I can see if it is worth it.
We love you all and hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

Well Blogger does not like me! I haven't been able to post pics for days. I really want to update but it just won't let me. But here is a few little snibets of today...
Tegan "helped" me shovel the parking lot. He got the broom and moved it all around. He was really cold when we were finished and started to cry. I am going to get him a snowsuit and better gloves (anyone know where I can get some good ones that he can actually move his hands in?).
Tegan has been a pill when I put him down for a nap. It takes about 30 minutes of me putting him back in his bed. After about 10 minutes I went in to check on him and could not find him. Where could a almost 2 year old be? .......Asleep under his bed! I sighed with relief and laughed!

Tegan I LOVE YOU!

Children's Museum

Tegan and I were able to go to the Gateway Children's Museum again with a couple of friends and there boys. Tegan had a blast like usual and could not stay in one place for long lol That is why the pics are blurry. He love the ball area and spent most of his time there while his friends were off exploring. Tegan and I, Jordan and Kru, Denae and Ander

Tegan trying to throw the veggies everywhere and then took off lol

This would have been cute if there wasnt a glare

playing in the ball area

The boys! Tegan, Kru, and Ander

Can't wait until we can go again...maybe this month since we have more coupons. Thanks Denae and Jordan for a fun time!

Hee Haws

We have made it a tradition to go to Hee Haw farms before Halloween. They have a corn maze, petting zoo, hayride, animal train, slides, corn pit and pumpkin patch. Tegan had a blast! He love walking through the corn maze and telling us where to go. We picked up some pumpkins a little expensive but it is all about the experience. We can't wait to go next year! Love this pic! Having fun on the hayride

Farewell Uncle Chantz

My brother Chantz left for his mission Sept 23rd. This was a very hard time for me and you can see me emotions in one of the pics. It makes me so sad to think that when he gets home Tegan will be 3 1/2 and we might have another bundle of joy (no not an announcement). I have no doubt though that he is where he needs to be! He will and is a fantastic missionary! And you can tell by the wonderful news that he gave us....He is doing his first baptizm December 1st! If you would like updates on Elder Whipple I have created a blog for him. I haven't done well keeping it updated (same on here too) but I hope to get this one up to date and do his. Go here to check it out! Elder Whipple with the missionaries in our area. Elder Clawson and Piquette (spelling is wrong) they are awesome missionaries! This is when he was set apart as an elder.

Tegan with his buddy

family (excluding David and Tegan, it was pat bedtime and he was done!)

We went to Tuacono's for lunch b4 he left. David had to get back to work so he had to grab a pic

Tegan Needs His Own Apron

Tegan is a funny kid! The first few pics Tegan was helping me make chocolate chip cookies for Uncle Chantz's mission farewell. While mixing in the flour he had his head down by the mixer and as I added the flour it went "poof" all over Tegan. It was hilarious and Tegan was laughing hysterically. You can kinda see the flour all over him. And when I went to grab something he was reaching his hands in and was chowing down on the cookie dough. He started with just a little with his little fingers and then we was going at full force with his hands full. He takes after me lol

Tegan wanted to be like me and wear my apron (I made it with the help of my mother-in-law). I am now going to make him his own for christmas.

4th Anniversary

The view from our hotel room

I can't believe we made it to 4 years of marriage. What a fun and interesting 4 years it has been lol We celebrated by going to our favorite restuarant, Texas Roadhouse. Thanks to a friend we were able to stay at the Radisson hotel in SLC. She got us a fantastic room at a great price. The next morn we had breakfast and went to a few church sites in the area. A sister missionary told us about the Art Exhibit that was going on at the Conference Center so we went to check it out. They art was amazing! I wanted to buy some of them. But I thought that taking a picture would have to do. We were stupid and didn't take any pics of us so this is what I decided to do on our way home.

An amazing quilt! I didn't even know this could be done

another quilt

quilt

Dang glare! This one was gorgeous. It is a painting of Christ as a newborn

You will have to click on the pic to see how funny it is.

This one was my all time favorite. This is painting of Eden in the Garden of Eden. The artist thought that Christ can do anything so he he didn't think that they were left to use leaves as clothing. I love to see Eden through his eyes. Fantastic!

Thanks babe for a fantastic 4 years! Thanks Mom and Dad (and Kylie) for watching Tegan for us!
