Fake Thanksgiving

We celebrated a super fun Thanksgiving yesterday. Ty is needed at the hospital every day of the Thanksgiving weekend so we just celebrated when we could all be together. Our extremely funny friends Kim and Seth joined us for the fake celebration. It was so great to see them again.

The Sprinkler Incident

We fertilized the lawn for the first time last week. On the bag of fertilizer it said to water immediately after applying the fertilizer. After Ty laid the fertilizer he stared to put the sprinkler on the hose only to find that our 3 musketeers filled the sprinkler with rocks. Needless to say that sprinkler was shot. Since the lawn was still not watered, I ran to the store and bought another sprinkler. Upon arriving home, I twisted on the sprinkler to the hose, cranked on the water and watched for 10 seconds while the sprinkler sprayed and then completely shut off. Oh no you don't, I told the sprinkler and cranked the water higher, but with no luck. By this point I am less than a tad annoyed so I marched over to the sprinkler, yanked it from the ground and noticed some pink slime coming from the sprinkler sprayer. Being a mom of three, I have no fear of nasty things; I started pulling on the pink ooze. Dang it, I couldn’t get the yucky stuff out. I untwisted the sprinkler and peered into the sprinkler to find a lizard tail hanging down into view. Something tells me that lizard won't go exploring in any other hoses especially since that lizard is still stuck in that sprinkler. Poor little guy. Now, how about getting my lawn watered. Time for sprinkler number three.

In the Beginning

I so should be sleeping right now, since my kids love to do the 6am wake up call, but I had a need to rummage through all our old photos. This was one of our first pictures together. I get teary just looking at it. We sure do have fun together. Love you babe!

Halloween

The Halloween festivities began Thursday with a pajama party at Telsey's school. She wouldn't wear her new Halloween PJs until the day of the party even though we bought them at the end of September.




And then the wild rumpus continued on Thursday night at our ward Halloween party. Trae chose to be a race car driver just because he wanted to be like his big cousin Cohen. Those boys are two peas in a pod when they're not angry with each other. :)






























































Next we carved pumpkins on Saturday. Ty was sooooo into it. I tuckered out after the first pumpkin but not Ty.
































All of this before Halloween night. :) John, Carley, the kids and our neighbors Diana, Paul, and their kids all met up to trick or treat our neighborhood. It was super fun. One of our neighbors set up a hotdog bbq for all the trick or treaters and their parents. Yummy! After our kids collected enough candy to rot out half their teeth we headed over to John and Carley's neighborhood and collected all the remaining candy needed to rot out the rest of their teeth. Halloween... what fun! I also do have to mention that we ended the night playing hand and foot with John and Carley where John and I slaughtered the competition... if you can call it competition. Whaa-Haaaaaaaa-haaaa!

Telsey's first day of Ballet

Telsey enjoyed her first day of ballet more than I ever thought she would. She ran to me and said look at my releve and sautee. Dang girl, she didn't miss a thing.

After 30 Years...

After 30 years, the baby finally found its Papa!!!!

It's a ..........

It's a BOY!!!!!
We are excited, well, all of us except Telsey who growled when we told her. Trae is especially happy that a little brother is on the way.

Tomorrow is the day. Ty is taking me into work after hours to do an ultrasound of our little peanut. I can't wait to find out if we are having a little Teannette or Taft.

Couples Night Out

Carley, John, Ty, and I all went out together last weekend. Tony Romas was awesome. We are so happy to have Carley, John, and their kiddos here in Orlando with us. :)

Look what we found in our backyard!!!

Just kidding! This picture was taken at the zoo a few weekends ago but you believed it for just a second. :)
