In Case You Didnt Know....

In case you didn't know we are expecting our 3rd little festus !!! October 5th ish.. which happens to be my moms birthday. funny huh! we are really excited and so are the kids. I am only 12 weeks along but I am getting big fast. I'm at that great point where no clothes fit me.. my regular ones or maternity yet..so its pretty fun. So 99% of the people i have asked say #3 will kill you... 1 person said her #3 was super super easy...! please give me some hope out there:) or advice for #3.

Beck-man

Beckham is 2! I cant believe it and he is finally happy... the entire last year and a half has been some what of a nightmare trying to figure out all of his allergies.. He was mad all of the time and obviously didnt feel well.. Now that we know he cannot have eggs, dairy, or soy....he has returned to us! :)So here's some happy pics of the new and improved Beckham!
They wouldn't smile until Adam threw a snow ball at them!
After snow-manning
My sis in law sent him some fun clothes and in it was a turtle Halloween costume... He will not take the hat off! hahah So he runs around the house in his "special" hat:)




Becks follows Ryan all around the house copying her and adoring her.... They are such a joy in my life:)

Our First Garden

Ok so this year was our first garden... we planted everything from seeds.. and didnt really know what we were doing..
Lesson 1 : one seed per hole!!!!! (poor carrots)
Lesson 2 : Tomatoe plants get WAY bigger than you might think.
Lesson 3 : Dont plant bitter lettuce ( plant the non-bitter kind)
Lesson 4: The bigger the NOT better with squash! pick them while they are young and small..( this pic is too small obviously)
WE are still having fun though.
The kids got a kick out of our funky carrots.

And this is the start of our Granny Smith apple tree! yay

Good bye Tree... I will not miss you

So look at our new house! Ok its not new but you can finally see it... Steve and Adam took this HUGE pine out sat morning.
Bruce also helped.
This thing was a beast
I told Adam he should keep it to boulder climb on it.


And this was the before.. now we just need to now trim and prune the pretty tree behind the ugly one:) Way to go Guys!

Alien Trail

Ok so last year I really contemplated selling my mountain bike because I typically ride my road bike these days.... So I brushed off the cobwebs last week and took a ride with Adam, my brother Steve and my Dad. We rode the famous Alien trail here in Aztec . It goes right by a famous alien landing site.. We did the 5 mile loop which doesnt sound too hard but it has like 1/4 mile of 2 feet sand, 2 miles of fun swoopy single track , a huge chunk of what looks/feels like slick rock (Moab) and for some danger ...sharp bushes if you fall.. they feel like daggers:) over all--- it was AWESOME! I highly recomend it.


Can I just say that getting back on my mountain bike it was like seeing an old friend.. I Loved it. I had forgotten how much I love mountain biking.

Over all.... fu-un...
