Autumn Fun!

Frist of all, these pictures are out of order and I am too lazy to change it all around. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Autumn! This year was fun, despite me being large with child and not feeling well most of the time.

This year for Halloween Graham was a dragon. Yes, again. I know, he was a dragon last year... BUT I worked last year and so he only wore his costume for about an hour to our ward party. It still fit and he loved it and it was free so win win!

Here he is with his good friend Lila.

Graham was so adorable when we went trick or treating. He was SO excited! He kept telling everyone "I'm a dragon! Roooooar!"

He also loved making jack-o-lanterns and said hello and goodbye to them every time we came to or left our house.

One of my favorite traditions is making Halloween sugar cookies with my mom and sisters. This year I was on bedrest so I didn't help much, except with eating way too many of them once they were done.

Another thing we did this year was to go to a local pumpkin patch. It was so awesome. We've decided we're going to make it a tradition every year. You get to pick your own pumpkin, climb on tractors, take a real tractor ride, go through a mini corn maze, see baby goats, and shop for other fresh produce, all for the price of your pumpkins.

And as Autumn is coming to an end, we have the most exciting thing of all coming up. Baby girl will be here TOMORROW! I am being induced November 8th. We can't wait to meet her!

Ketchup.

I've somehow let the whole summer pass without updating this blog! We've been so so busy and having a lot of fun. Here are some pictures from our summer.

First of all, Graham turned 2! We had a fun day swimming and BBQing. Swimming is Graham's new favorite thing. He is fearless and loves jumping into the pool all different ways.

The cute cake my mom and I made

New birthday toys

Hintze cousins :)

We made a quick trip to Colorado to see my sister's new baby, whom by the way, I didnt' get a picture of! Bad Aunt! He's adorable though.

The fourth of July was great! We went to the Provo parade then swimming, BBQing, and fireworks with Zach's family. I just love the 4th. It's one of my very favorite holidays.

My grandpa also made a surprise visit from California. It was fun to be all together for a couple days. Here is everyone minus Jess.

I can't believe summer is almost over, but I'm also relieved it has gone so quickly. It's no secret I hate being pregnant! Can't wait for November! :)

M.I.A.

I know, I know, it's been too long since I have updated! But I have a good excuse. I'm sure all of you who read this already know but I am pregnant! I am due in November. We are really excited. The only down side is that I have been extremely sick again. I haven't felt up for much of anything. Thank goodness Zach has been so good to me and has been taking care of us every second he is home. I couldn't make it without him! I finally got around to blogging and wanted to catch up so be sure to scroll down and see the next 4 posts. :)

California Trip

Last week we went to California to stay with our good friends the Swans. They were staying at an AMAZING resort in a condo and had an extra room so we made a very quick trip to stay with them and play.

Graham loved the plane. While we were waiting for it to take off he kept saying "Readyyyy! Readyyyy!" He did really well. (The ipad loaded with cartoons helped.)

The weather was a little chilly and cloudy but luckily the day we hit the beach it was perfect. Right now Graham is obsessed with trucks and playing in the water. It was heaven for him to be able to dig in the dirt with trucks and splash in the water.

Our last 1/2 day there we went to Magic Mountain. Luckily Hejdi is pregnant also so we spent the day on the kiddie rides.

Here is Graham and Lily.

Graham has ridden little rides before and hated them. But something changed and he could not get enough of them! I was definitely feeling woozy after all those rides. Why is it that 90% of kiddie rides just go around and around in circles?

Zach was feeling a little woozy from the coasters too so he took a break and came to give me a break :)

Graham was wiped out! And it has taken him all week to recover and catch up on his sleep.

The trip home was.... terrible. We left right from Magic Mountain to go to the airport. On the way there Graham threw up massive massive amounts all over! Everything was covered and stinky. We pulled over in the ghetto and tried to clean up as well as we could. We all stunk like throw up, including the rental car and our car seat. We made it on the plane and a few min into the flight Graham had a blow out that got all over his clothes! Of course, right? It was late and we made it home just in time for me to start throwing up also!

Despite the rough trip home, we still had a great time. It was so nice to get away and see Graham experience all those fun things.

Trip to Colorado

Alright, I am terrible at taking pictures but I was especially bad this trip.

We went to colorado to visit my sister Marie and her family at the beginning of April. She is having another baby soon so my mom, Graham and I went to visit and help her out. Unfortunately I was sick the whole time and was much more of a burden than a help but it was still great to see them and spend time with them. Graham LOVES LOVES LOVES his cousins!

Graham's First Bike!

Helping daddy put the bike together.

Unfortunately it was raining so we couldn't try it outside, but he loves riding his bike inside or out.

First bike crash.

Easter

This year for Easter we were at the Hintze house for the famous candy hunt. You have never seen so much candy in one house before! Luckily for the kids, they got their own hunt before the adults came charging in for the candy.

Here's Graham getting geared up for the hunt, you can tell he's thrilled.

This is actually the next day, but the hunt turned out to be pretty successful for this little guy.

We also got to go see our brand new nephew on Easter. Holden Hintze. He is adorable and has the most awesome red hair I have ever seen on a baby.(I wish I had gotten a close up.)
