Halloween? Sorry, my holidays are just a tad bit mixed up...

Sorry I've got my holidays all out of sorts! Here we are at Hee Haw Farms. The corn pictures crack me up. That was Sophie's favorite activity by far.






Then Adam and I had a halloween party to attend. I was...Cruella Deville and Adam was my dalmation puppy. I got to lead him around by a dog leash...now that's my kind of costume. (I know, I know...I look terribly pregnant! Argh.)



And Kim had a fun party at her house for the family. Mom was Little Red Riding Hood and Dad was The Big Bag Wolf, and he stayed in character almost the entire night!



And finally we went trick or treating...

Thanksgiving 2011

So, we hosted our first Thanksgiving at our house. And I had to cook the turkey!! Oh sister. What a stresser that turned out to be.

But my mom has this fabulous recipe that she got from The Foodnetwork, and it turned out delicious! So delicious that I wish I would've taken a picture. But alas, I didn't. But here's a pic of some of the wonderful people who came to dinner. Here's the recipe from Alton Brown.


I think Uncle Mark said something extremely funny...but what did he say?

Some more news...

oh my goodness...it's almost like I forgot I had a blog...except. I really didn't. It's just that I've been feeling a little under the weather...and here's why.

IT'S A GIRL!!!


And we couldn't be more happy. She's due March 31st. Wish us luck with number 5. Spencer is thrilled...he loves being the only boy. Go figure? :)

Ahh Summer, Our Fickle Friend, How We Love You So....

We spent much of July at Grandma and Grandpa's house because the Tews were visiting from California! And of course we celebrated two wonderful days...America's and Grace's birthday. her cake was really fun to make, and although I have the delicious (and suprising) recipe, I can't find the actual website I got it from. But here is another version which is really close to the one I used. Check it out here.


And we had some quality pool time with Dad. I'm fairly certain that pool time with Dad is WAY more fun than with Mom. Sorry guys, as far as pool rough housing goes, I'm certainly inadequate.




And Grandma's homemade ice cream. Delish

Did I mention the NEW summer pastime? Badminton! We're grooming 2020's Olympic Team. I am in love with their game faces.
And of course what Grandma trip isn't complete without CHERRY HILL?
Love these cutie cousins, Maria, Lucy, and Abby.
The organ at the Church Conference Center.
The Salt Lake City Temple Spencer W in front of Spencer W!
The Church History Museum, which turned out to be a HUGE hit with the newly refurbished Children's Section.

Grandma with only part of her grandkids in front of the visitors center.The girls loved the Spanish Dancing dresses and video.

Another badminton shot just to intimidate.
And finally the kiddies at the Roy Rec Center Swimming pool, which turned out to be really fun! Go Roy, Utah. Who knew?


Whew! We had a great time...and that was just JULY!
