Temple square

We took Graham to Temple square to see the lights.
He slept most of the time but we couldn't let him sleep through the whole thing so we got him out the last few minutes.
He loved it!
There were light snow flurries in the air.
It was magical.

I love this picture of my two favorite boys!

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving in Provo with Zach's family this year. The food was amazing! We hung out at the house, had an awesome meal, and drove out to watch Micah do some jumps on his bike. We watched Four Christmases (which, I have to say, is one of the worst movies I have seen in a long time! Seriously, don't waste your time). The next day we drove out to Tooele and enjoyed a second day of gorging ourselves on leftovers and playing games with my family. It was a great holiday. We have SO much to be thankful for this year. Not only being blessed with our beautiful baby boy but we've also been blessed with wonderful families, friends, jobs, and countless other things. I feel spoiled by how much Heavenly Father blesses us!

Zach carved the turkey- I doubted his skills but he was a pro!

Bouncin' Baby

Graham loves his new bouncer! WARNING: Video contains extremely annoying sounds that Zach makes to get Graham excited. Graham is usually smiling and squealing while he is in his chair but it never fails that every time he sees the camera he is Mr. serious.

AWESOME Weekend!

We spent last weekend at an amazing cabin. It belongs to my sis-in-law's parents. It is truly awesome. It is huge so there is plenty of room for everyone to spread out and have their own bedrooms and own bathroom and it even has two full kitchens. It was our second time going there but this time was even better because Zach's whole family (except Micah) was able to come. We did lots of four-wheeling, fishing, making cute little crafts, watching movies, playing with babies, and of course eating lots of yummy food. We had so much fun! Thanks Lucas and Danielle for inviting us all!

Raiden and Graham are only 4 days apart. Last time they were together Graham was so shrimpy compared to Raiden. We thought with all Graham's growing and getting to almost 16 pounds that he would have caught up with Raiden, but not quite! Raiden is still 4 pounds heavier! Such cute BIG boys!

Happy Halloween!!!

I had to work on Halloween so we didn't dress Graham up. (I know, I feel bad but luckily he doesn't realize we skipped out on a holiday) But we did get him this cute onsie to be a little festive.

My pumpkin. My ideas always look so much better in my mind :) You can't see from this angle, but if you look through to the back there is a big H carved on the back. (You know, our initials:)

CUTIE! ...Random pics

Graham has outgrown his baby tub. He is such a big boy! (15.9 lbs at 14 weeks!!!) Here he is for the first time in the big boy tub.

P.S. Graham has started laughing!! It is so fun! We work hard to find things that will make him laugh. One day tickling will make him laugh but a few hours later he will have no response. The episodes are few and far between but I love love love it!

Fall Funtivities

Fall... the best of all.

Fall is my favorite season. Although, this year I have really been upset with the change of seasons because I feel like I was totally cheated out of a summer. I spent the first half of summer being huge and pregnant and the last half with a brand new baby. We didn't get to do many fun summer time activities. However, this last week my love of Fall has returned. We went for a drive up the canyon to see the amazing colors and also went to a corn maze, which is one of my favorite things. This year the corn maze was short and sweet. I usually like to go into corn mazes and just wander and get lost. Zach, on the other hand, likes to look at the maps and listen to what other people are saying and figure the way out. Well, this year Zach led us so we were out in about 10 minutes! I guess it was okay since it was pretty chilly and we had Graham with us and also our friends who had small kids.

Next week we will be carving our pumpkins and making sugar cookies and taking more walks to see the changing leaves before they're gone. I really do love this time of year!!

This is Graham at the corn maze. We bought this new baby carrier and I loved it! It was so easy to carry him, no tired arms or tired back.
