St. George Day 2

On day two all of the guys headed out for some golfing while we watched the kids. The weather was perfect and they had a lot of fun. That night Nanci & Jed decided to set up a double elimination ping pong tournament and it was HILARIOUS! We let Carson stay up to watch his dad and grandpa face off in the championship.

I was trying to entertain myself (since surprisingly I was out in two games:) so i took some pics of Nanci and her famous "flare" face - gorgeous isn't it?

The real Nanci

Brad in "action"

The championship came down to Brad & my Dad. Brad won the first game but had to beat him twice since it was double elimination. My dad won the second game and claimed the title. Good game guys!

Relaxing after the game


We had a great time on the trip. Thanks dad for making it possible! It was so fun to just hang out as a family and the kids had a blast!

Our Baby is 4 Months Old!

I really cannot believe how fast time flies! Little Jace is 4 months old. I must say that 4 months to whenever they become mobile is my FAVORITE stage. Most of you know that I am not a huge newborn person. Don't get me wrong I love babies but they are so much more fun at this age. Lets see... Jace is SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!! (Carson was a year before this happened) I can't believe how much happier I am! I really didn't think it was that bad but now I can totally feel a difference in my mood. Jace is smiling and grunting and gnawing on his fists. He is so even tempered - he really only cries when he is hungry or tired. Carson loves to make him smile and give him hugs and kisses. I am so grateful for our healthy, happy baby! And I totally think he is a mini Brad:)

Happy Halloween!

My little Frog & Tiger

We had some neighbors over for some soup after trick or treating.

Governor's Gala 2009

Brad's work sponsored a table this year at Governor Herbert's Gala. Ya, he called Wednesday afternoon and said oh by the way you need a formal dress and someone to babysit the kids on Friday. Thanks to Mandy for helping me find the dress and to Uncle Dain for watching the kids. (I really have to give him credit, he watched both kids for 5 hours!) It was so fun to have a night on the town with my hubby! We ate food that I didn't have to cook and got get in and out of the car without getting car seats and fighting someone to put their shoes on:)

This is Brad's tux from High School, somethings are just not fair.

Jace's First Haircut

BEFORE... So the hair on Jace's birthmark fell out at about a month and this thick dark hair grew back in its place. Once it reached his ear we decided to cut it. Much sooner than we normally would:(

DURING... The sound of the clippers were not music to Jace's ears! He screamed the entire time!

AFTER... What a handsome little fellow:)

Family Swim Night

Brad's family came in town last weekend for Jace's blessing. We went swimming at the hotel, it was a blast! We didn't think Jace would be big on the whole water thing but he loved it!

I am so bummed because we didn't take ONE picture at the blessing! There was so much going on that it just didn't happen. I want to thank everyone for coming it was a beautiful day! Our kids are so blessed to have so many great people that love them. Thanks Brad for being such a wonderful Dad!

Pumpkin Painting & Other Activities...

Can you guess Who's Who?

Brad trying to make his jaw look more defined:)

Quite the resemblance don't ya think

Somehow our pumpkin painting night turned into a pull-up face off!
