Happy Birthday Little Brother

I am a little behind posting our events. Little brother had a birthday the day after thanksgiving. And that is the day we go get christmas trees. So we were in the mountains. It took us a while to find the perfect tree.

I made cupcakes for his b-day cake this year because I thought cupcakes would be easier to pack than a big cake. Turns Out I was right. We had a blast getting trees and Little brother had a great b-day.

3D ultra sound

I had this ultrasound a couple of weeks ago. I thought now would be a perfect time to blog about it. There is her little profile isn't it so cute?There is kind of a front view. This makes her nose look a little squished.
Here is another side profile.
This is her little feet crossed over. How perfect.
Another leg and foot. I asked if the lady would check to see if it was still a girl because I am still in denial about it. She says it's a girl still. But I am not going to be 100% convinced until she comes out still a girl.

Trunk -r- Treat

We went to our wards trunk or treat. it was really fun every year they have a little parade and we walk around and all the parents get to take pictures and see all the costumes. They both fell asleep on the way home.

Carving Pumpkins

We had a great time carving our pumpkins.
It took a little while for the kids to just dig in with their hands. But finally they decided it was okay and got all sorts of messy.

Whats happenen wednesday

Big brother asked us when we were going camping again. We had to tell him that we probably wouldn't go camping again until next year. He would leave it alone he kept asking and asking. So finally mommy and daddy compromised and we set up the tent in the yard and slept in the tent las night. This is the boys this morning.


Our new kitty rufus slept all night with us. YOu can just see his little paw getting little brother.
IT was actually a night from H E double tooth picks for mom and dad. but I think the boys really enjoyed it. (and the kitty)

wordless Wednesday

Labor Day Weekend

Every year we go to the Fort Bridger Rendezvous. We get ready all year. (well okay so maybe just 2 weeks before) by sewing clothes and moccasins.
This is our cute little family. This was monday morning.

Big brother and little brother saying cheese to the camera, with their new guns and swords.
We were sad to come home to the "Real World" as DH put it. IT was an awesome get away.

Babies First pictures

Today we went to the doctor. I was able to take both boys and Daddy. So they were able to see the baby and hear the heart beat. I am not sure what they thought. When I was laying down for the Ultra sound little brother was pretty wide eyed he didn't know what was going on. Big brother was watching really close. He was so excited to see the baby.

And the picture we were all waiting for. IT"S A GIRL!!!!!!! Can you believe it, I think I am still in shock. I am not sure it is true. But they assured me that this baby is a girl. The ultra sound lady even looked twice to make sure. I even asked the Doctor if it was going to change, he said no it will not change. So now we get to start buying pink which is really weird, But exciting.

fun in the summer sun!

It was finally warm enough to run through the sprinklers they had a ton of fun!

bunk beds

So these are our bunk beds. If you look closely you can see a little head sleeping. Little brother is having a nap.




We went out side and there was a bird on the close line. My MIL who was visiting for a minute said it was a baby bird. Then I looked around and saw the mama bird chirping real loud and flying and her feathers were all lifted up on her head.

Fox cry

Have you ever heard a fox cry? Well 3 or 4 months ago DH and I heard this noise outside our bedroom window at about 2 or 3 in the morning. I don't know about you but I have never heard this until then. It was really kinda creepy. We had no idea what it was. So the next day I got on youtube and found a fox cry and this is what we heard. So last night the fox returned. We both woke up and we knew exactly what it was. DH said, "why couldn't it come and wake us up at 6:00 when it was time to wake up." LOL

moose in rock creek

Last friday DH went to the city to get our new bunk beds (post coming soon) So I decided to take my mother and the boys to the mountains for a ride. I love the mountains they are just so peaceful. I was so excited to see this little guy. I have never seen a moose in real life. I am so glad it was one of those rare occasions when I have my camera.

This is the rock creek river. I am not sure if that is what it is called but that is what I am calling it.


At the yellowpine camp ground there is a little trail that takes you past little streams and it leads to some stairs. You can see them in the back ground in this picture. The stairs go up for a little bit and them it comes to a trail and the trail takes you to the upper still water dam. Well we walked up to the top of the stairs and we were standing there letting the boys play. Then max starts to growl and takes off running. Mom says "time to go" I agreed but the boys being boys wanted to see what he was growling at. Then I see a deer run off. Which is really relieving, I thought that maybe it was a bear or something that we didn't want to see.
