Happy Birthday to me!

For the last 10 years, I have been trying to talk Tyson into taking me to see the Nutcracker. Every year I tell him "You know what would be a great birthday present? To go to the Nutcracker!" Finally, Tyson caved. For my birthday Tyson took me to the Spaghetti Factory for dinner and then to the Nutcracker at Capitol Theatre. It was so much fun! Best date ever. I loved it! Tyson wasn't sure about the whole ballet thing, but I kept telling him he'd like the Nutcracker. He did! He enjoyed it as well. YAY! I think I'll ask for this for my birthday every year!

Me and my Sweetheart!

Baby It's Cold Outside!

Blaine asks to go to the park just about everyday. I hate being cold so we don't go very often. Today, however, he wore me down. We went to the park after nap time. I still froze, but I loved watching my boys playing. Ü

So silly!

Run Away With Me!

This last Saturday I ran my first half marathon. 13.1 miles! The race was in St. George. It was seriously freezing, but so beautiful. Tyson, my FIL Ty and SIL Brittany also ran the race. We had a great time. I ran the race in 2 hours, 26 minutes and 30 seconds. Better than I'd planned on. I'm very happy with my time. Ü

So gorgeous!!

Spooky Zoo

Today we went trick or treating at the zoo. It was freezing cold, but the boys had fun and it was fun spending time with them. Our friends Katie and Brandon and their cute boys Camden and Beckham came with us. It's always fun when we get to see them!

Pumpkins!

I've never been a huge fan of carving pumpkins. I don't like the mess and it's so time consuming. This was our first year carving pumpkins with our boys. It was so much fun!! The boys loved pulling the guts out. I knew Blaine would love it, but I thought Eli would be grossed out. He loved it though and wouldn't let anyone help him. My sister, Danielle, came to play with us while her hubby was doing parent teacher conferences. So glad she came.

All ready to make Jack O Lanterns!

Blaine's 1st Field Trip

Today was Blaine's first field trip with his preschool. They went to the Ogden Nature Center. It was nice being able to have some one on one time with my guy. He enjoyed seeing the birds and snakes and tarantula. YUCK.

Blaine with all his friends.

 They made some wings to wear.

 So excited!! Love this boy!!
