Birthday WEEK!

Yes we celebrated another birthday at our house...this time it was ME!! Yay! I would have to say that it was a good one! We ended up going home the weekend before my birthday and we had a few celebrations there that involved cheesecake, Skore cake, and good company!! I'm so grateful for such a great family that loves me.

On my special day my sweet niece made me a cute picture!!! Thanks Avers!

I have never been the one that likes to make my own cake so I hinted to Brent that there was this cute cupcake place in Provo and he should go there for my birthday cake!! Seriously, he spoiled me rotten...came home at 5:30 pm with 2 doz roses, dinner from Cafe Rio and 4 cupcakes!

Whoa I was on cloud 9!! Brent is finally starting to slow down a bit at work...thank goodness!! So it was good to have him home early to spend my special day with me! Oh yeah and Dane took me out shopping...sweet boy huh?

Here are the cupcakes vanilla, coconut, cookies and cream, and key lime pie! I have to say though my favorite by far was the coconut!! Yum yum...

Here is to 26! Its gonna be a good one I can feel it!! :) Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

Happy Halloween

Over the river and through the woods...

A few weeks ago Brent had to travel to Idaho for work. So we figure we might as well tag along with him...well it was suppose to be a 3-4 day stay and it ended up being a 10 day stay. Brent had to go back and forth from Idaho to Utah in between those 10 days so we thought we would take advantage of it and stay in Idaho. We had such a fun time. Got got to spend lots of time our families. We went and watched Ava play in her last soccer game, hit up Kings, lunch dates, visited family. One day my mom had to go and work on the temple grounds and it was only going to take her an house. Well no one showed up to help her...so we went and tried to help her, more so explore! Dane had such a great time.

Danes new thing is he loves to sit in the driver seat and pretend to drive! Brent's dad and brother were in harvest so he took Dane out with him and rode around in the tractor for 2+ hours. Brent said he would not stop smiling. Sounds like we are going to have to send Dane to Idaho for the summers to work on the farms!!

Me and my mom love schnauzers...well she gave Dane a stuffed schnauzer and he has to go EVERYWHERE with us now! Someday we need to get him a real one.

I haven't been out golfing since I've had Dane so we figure we would take advantage of the nice weather and go out. Man it felt so good!! I had some awesome tee shots. Dane loved cart hopping between Gram and Papa Steve and us.

We also got to hang out with my dad and Lupe and have a fun evening together. It was nice to be home for a bit. With harvest in full swing it made me kinda home sick so it was nice to get to be home and enjoy smelling the fresh dirt in the air!! Thanks for letting us come and stay so long Gram!!

Danes adventures

We know that one day Dane will just take off walking. It seems that he is getting braver and braver with the things he does every day! He is just so dang cute, we can't get enough of him!

The little stinker likes to ONLY push himself back on his car...I've tried to teach him to move his feet forward and no...so his new thing is he pushes himself back until he hits something and can't go any farther and gets off and moves his car so he can keep going!!

(Sorry the quality of the video is kinda bad...but still cute!)

Zoo

Last weekend we thought we would take Dane to the zoo! The weather was perfect and we all had such a good time. Dane's favorite would have to be the monkeys...go figure! He would point at them and then kick his legs like crazy. We also saw en elephant, rhino, giraffe and crocodile! The tigers were all sleeping and Brent was bummed because the part that has the penguins and polar bears was under construction and will be finished next summer. Guess we will be going back. Like how we are wearing our Boise State gear? Go BRONCOS!!!
