Happy Thanksgiving!

So today is Thanksgiving and I thought it was appropriate to tell everyone the things that I am thankful for.

1. First of all I am thankful for my Heavenly Father and our Savior Jesus Christ. Without them nothing on my list would be possible.
2. I am without a doubt so thankful for my family. My husband is my constant rock and reminds me that life should be fun and not so stressful. My son is my happy little independent soul that makes me smile daily. My mom, what can I say, is the greatest most patient and giving person I have ever meet. My dad is a supporter. My siblings are all special and unique in there own way and have taught me many lessons in life. I am indeed grateful for all of my in-laws and their talents and ability to always have a good time.
3. I am thankful to be be living in a free country and to be afforded all the rights that our fore fathers have set forth.
4. I am thankful for my education and the knowledge I have to be a good teacher. I am so glad that I can have a job that I love.

These are the things that impact me everyday and have helped me to be the person that I am. Please don't forget to tell your family and friends what you are thankful for.

A BABY!

As many of you may have heard, I am pregnant. I went to the Dr. yesterday and officially know that I am only having one, not three like Scott thought. (Thank goodness), he is usually not right, considering he thought Evan was going to be a girl. We saw our baby on the ultrasound and it was actually kicking its legs. So cute! You forget what it's like to be caring a baby, until the nausea kicks in :) Yes I have been really sick and just counting the days till it's over. I got sick really early this time and from everything I hear I think I am having a girl. I really wanted a boy for Evan to play with, because he is such a BOY. The Dr. said it could be a girl from the ultrasound, but no guarantees yet. I will be happy with either, a good healthy baby is much more important. My due date is June 19th, right after I finish school. Good planning on my part huh :). Well, I hope you are all doing fantastic, especially the other expecting mothers.

Julie's Wedding

So, I finally decided to look at and upload my sister's wedding pictures. There are a few worth sharing, especially the ones that capture my sister's personality. I don't love our family pictures because the wind was really blowing and my hair was all over the place. Oh well, it wasn't my day anyway. Hope you enjoy.

HALLOWEEN

Well, it was actually a real Halloween this year. It is fun to see the kids get older and enjoy the holidays. Evan was Mickey Mouse because I was Minnie Mouse and I wanted him to be matching. I borrowed my costume from my (crazy about Halloween) sister, however no one will get to see it because I forgot to take pictures when I wore it on Thursday and I was feeling sick on Friday, so there was no way I was going to put the costume on again.

Anyways these photos are from Halloween night. Our friends, the Wilkinson's, had a party and we took Evan and Julie June trick or treating. They enjoyed the candy the most. Evan was a little scared of all the dogs that came to every door we opened, so our friend Kendra carried Evan most of the way. It was so funny because when we asked Evan what they doggies say he just growled. I guess we know what he thinks of dogs! Not a fan like his mom.

I was reading Camille Bunkers Blog and saw the 4x4 tag, so like her I thought I would partcipate. You go to the 4th file in your pictures and choose the 4th picture to post. This is what I found. A picture of Scott holding Maile at Cole's wedding. She was so little. Time flys!

A Visit From G&G Bones

Last weekend my mom and dad decide to come for a quick visit to see us. They really didn't come to see US, they came to see Evan. My mom has been dying to see Evan walk. He has been walking for about 4 weeks now. He is doing pretty good, although his steps are still like stomps. Its a whole new world for him, and I know he loves it. He never wants to be held and always wants down to roam around. He is a busy boy and his curiosity is fine with me until it comes to church. We can't even stay at church past Sacrament because he freaks out when we go to class in the tiny rooms. I guess the lord or maybe the ward decided they could help us with our problem. They called me to be a nursery leader so that Evan could come with me even though he is only 15 months. It should be interesting, but I think (or hope) it will be fine. We have all had to dedicate our time to nursery, right :).
Anyways, we had a great time with my parents. On Friday night they took my Grandma Bones and Dave to dinner at Scott's Restaurant. It was my Grandma's birthday so Scott treated them very well and even made grandam a Birthday Cake. She had the time of her life. On Saturday my parents watched Evan so that Scott and I could actually go on a date. We went to lunch and the movie. It was nice to have a little free time since we never get to see each other. And I know Evan had a blast because he went to the park with G&G. On Sunday we took my parents up to Mt.Charleston. It was chilly, but beautiful with all the leaves changing colors. It's amazing how close we are to so many different landscapes. Well, I better go because this is already too long, but I had to recap the wonderful time we had with my sweet parents.
