Fall Recap 2011

We had a great fall season. A few highlights:

Halloween: Tate was the cutest little football player. He loves sports and was so excited to be a football player for Halloween. He actually really got into the holiday this year. I was sure if he would understand or not but he did.
Tate's favorite Halloween phrases: 'Spoookkyy' 'Happy Halloween'
Every time he would see a ghost or something Spooky he would say that and it was the cutest thing ever! He loved getting pumpkins at the pumpkin patch and of course loved all the Candy!!
Beckham wore cute Halloween Jammies, he was just too small for a costume this year. My mom came up and stayed with Beckham at the house so Josh and I could take Tate out. It was a lot of fun!

November:
Time Out For Women conference. My awesome Mother In Law bought us tickets to this conference in SLC and got us a room and the Courtyard Marriott. It was just us girls and it was so much fun! The conference was great and I learned quite a bit and wrote down a LOT of things I want to work on so I can be a better Wife, Mom and person in general. My favorite part was from Hilary Weeks and she talked about Negative thoughts vs Positive thoughts and by focusing on the negative you can become depressed and it will take over how you are feeling. But by focusing on the positive that will take over and you can become a happier person.
Thanksgiving: This year we visited both families but only ate once :) I drove the boys and my Brother out to Magna to hang out with my Mom, Grandma, Aunt and cousins in the morning. After visiting and playing we headed back to Clinton to have dinner with Josh's family. It was a lot of fun, all of Josh's siblings were there. Since it was such nice weather we got to ride the horses after we ate a delicious meal. Tate and Tucker played together like they were best friends it was really cute. After riding the horses we broke out the ads! I went black friday shopping just for the heck of it but got some deals at the mall, nothing major I just like going.
The day after Thanksgiving Josh and Tate went with the Southwicks to go pick out our Christmas tree and cut it down in Idaho. They left at 6am and didn't get home until 10pm, they had a very long day! I worked a little and then was able to go home and clean the house and spend time with Beckham, It was so nice.
The 26th was my 29th birthday. It was a great day! My mom came up and we took the boys to the salon with us so Josh could sleep. He was up all night doing finals. We had fun at the salon, and then headed home got some pizza and decorated for Christmas. Josh's parents said they would watch the boys for a few hours and so Josh and I went and did some shopping and got shakes. It was the best birthday spent with the Guys I love.

Days Farm Pumpkin Patch

Tate's daycare is seriously the best daycare ever! I LOVE that he can go somewhere where I know he is being cared for as much as he would be while at home. Josh's cousins run the KIDZ LEARNING GARDEN Daycare in Roy. They are awesome! Tate get's to be with some of his other cousins and have fun all day. I am so very grateful to them, it makes it so much easier being a working Mom when I know Tate is being taken care of. Thanks Stacey and Jamie (and Christy) for taking such good care of Tate. We Love you guys!!

Every Year the Learning Garden takes a field trip to Day's Farm to get pumpkins. I was so excited because I have never been to a pumpkin patch before. It was so much fun and such a nice warm fall day. Charity, Felicity and CJ were staying with Grandma and Grandpa Johnstun the day of the pumpkin patch so they were able to come with us. It was so much fun!

Eva and Libby also joined us on our pumpkin patch adventure.

We both got some pretty big pumpkins, but Eva's was HUGE! Go big or go home right!

There were so many pumpkins, I couldn't believe it. It looked so pretty.

Libby and Tate posing for the camera!

Don't they look so cute! I can't believe how big they are getting.

Here is Tate hanging out with the scarecrow, the straw didn't bother him at all. And yes he has no shoes on. I have a million pair but they all are too big.

me and my sweet baby boy. I love you!!

We got to ride the tractor out to where the pumpkins were. The kids really had a great time. Thanks again Kidz Learning Garden for this fun field trip.

Welcome FALL!

Last week I was pretty sick and ended up getting Laringitis (spelling?). It sucked! I was in bed for 2 days and by the second day (Wed) I had cabin fever pretty bad. So I begged Josh to take me for a ride up the canyon to look at all the pretty leaves changing color!
We started our date at Bajio, oh how I love that place! I go in spurts and just want either bajio or cafe rio! One weekend I wanted it 2 nights in a row. Anyways, back to our date. We ate a yummy dinner then headed up trappers loop and went to snow basin to see all the fall leaves. It was a cool crisp night just perfect for leaf gazing. :)
I had never been up there so it was a nice getaway for me. My husband was so nice to take me up there after a long day of work and he still had a lot of homework. Thanks babe!
We did take some pics I will post them later.

So today I decided I didn't feel like working and really wanted to do yard work...how wierd is that. So I took a vacation day and spent the day out in my yard clearing out some of my planters so I could plant some bulbs! I love Tulips so I headed over to Lowe's here in good old Clinton city and well let's just say it took me forever to decide what I wanted to get. But I did get my big bag of bulbs and came home and started digging! It felt so nice to get outside in the fresh air and enjoy nature! It seriously is like therapy! I am so grateful for this beautiful world God has given us to enjoy!
However I did find lots of creeping crawling things while I was enjoying the earth....I saw so many worms!! I was actually impressed with myself that I didn't totally freak out when I saw them. One was sooo long, I wish I would have gotten my camera but I didn't. However I did find the BIGGEST, UGLIEST SPIDER ever!!! I took a picture and will post it tomorrow. It is gettting late and Josh keeps telling me its time for bed.
