Birthday and visitors!!

This last week was one fun filled week. Monday evening my parents flew into town!! My dad comes out for work quite a bit and his trip this week happen to fall over my birthday and my mom came along to spend the week with us. This couldn't have been a better time! This week in school Scotty had two really big important tests, so he literally had to study from early morning to as late as possible. They stayed until Thursay afternoon and it was so fun!! We had a blast!!Here is a picture at dinner one night at Bugaboo Steakhouse, so yummy!! My aunt and Uncle happened to be out at the same time for my uncles work, so we all got together for dinner.

Just anther picture at dinner with my two boys!

Here is Barrick with his Gpa walking around everywhere! We think we have another Hyrum on our hands, Barrick couldn't get enough of playing with Gpa. Gpa was for playing and Gma for cuddling, he loved giving her kisses and cuddling up in her hair.

Just a picture with Gma and Gpa the day they left. He was pretty excited to see them this morning, he had been fussy all morning but once they walked in the door he started screaming and crawled as fast as his little legs could get over to them.

Here is a picture of us eating breakfast at the Amish Market, this is the BEST store ever!! My parents were able to get some good stuff here.

We also went to the pumpkin patch but my mom has all of the pictures, so that post will come later. Thank you so much mom and dad for coming out this was one memorable birthday.

Temple trip!

This last weekend Barrick and I were able to go with the primary in our ward to the DC temple. One nice thing about where we live, is that we are only twenty minutes away. It was a very fun activity and all of the kids loved it! Barrick loved having all new friends, there was not a minute that went by where he wasn't being entertained.

Here is Barrick with about half of my primary class. He had so much fun!

Just a cute one of Barrick outside of the visitors center.

Barrick and I outside of the temple doors!

This is all of the kids who came, I was surprised this many were able to come! Here they are singing I love to see the temple.

In this last picture Barrick wanted so badly to climb up with all the other kids. He kept crawling up and singing/screaming with them during their song. I was so glad we were able to go because this was my last week in primary. I loved teaching all of these kids they were such a joy to be around. It is so fun to see them learn and grow. I learned so much more from these kids then they did from me. I will miss them! So I was glad to have one last activity with them.

Croydon Creek Nature Center!

The Nature Center was a hit, the kids loved it! They were able to touch animals furs, look at turtles, frogs, bees, snakes everything! Barrick loved it I didn't think he would care very much but he had a blast! So I decided to list his top favorite things

1-Barrick got to touch almost everything there, he loved the fur and wouldn't let it go!
2- Barrick got lots of loves from Savannah.

3-Barrick gave lots of loves to Easton! All though Easton didn't like it very much sorry Easton!

4-I would like to say he liked his loves from his mom but I was holding him for about three seconds and he was not having it. Fortunately we got this picture where he somewhat looked happy. He just wanted to go go go!

5-He had a fun walking buddy, he just loves Lucy! I love how he would not let go of Diana's pinky I just thought is was so cute!

But as you can see by the video this would have to be his absolute favorite, he sat here for about fifteen minutes screaming at the crickets. The funny thing is they were in there for the toad as lunch, but Barrick couldn't get enough of them. Also I love at the end of the video where Savannah comes in ready for a picture! I just love kids they are too fun! Thanks for the fun day!

I would die for that!

I got this off of a blog a sweet girl is doing for women who are trying to get pregnant. This is totally every emotion I went through in trying to get our little guy here! I love this song you should all check it out! It makes me feel so blessed to have such a miracle in my life!
Got to love those pretty eyes!

Here it is!

Here is the ring Scotty gave to me for our anniversary! He got it about three sizes too big so I just got it back on Friday and I LOVE it.

Scotty is so thoughtful he has been looking for months, he wanted to get just the right one and I think he definitely chose the right one. I have to say I think he has pretty good taste! Thanks babe I love you!

Barricks teething toy!

Well for what seems like forever Barrick has been teething. Which hasn't been too bad, I have heard horror stories from people and for the most part Barrick has been pretty good. He stays pretty happy but of course puts everything in his mouth. This picture pretty much is what he looks like all day long. I have been surprised because he hasn't really needed any certain chew toy that I could notice, until this last week I noticed this....Yes that is his crib and yes those are teeth marks all over the inside of his crib! I was laughing so hard, I guess he had a chew toy all along and I just never knew. Silly boy!

5 years!!

This last Saturday was our five year anniversary!! It was such a fun day we ended up going out on Friday and went to dinner and a movie which was so fun! We don't get to go to movies very often so of course that is what both of us wanted to do most. We went and saw Eagle Eye it was a very fun movie and I definitely recommend it. Then Saturday we were able to spend some time together watching movies and we went shopping it was so fun! Then Scotty watched Barrick so I could go to Womens Conference. This school year for Scotty has been much more time consuming so to be able to spend some time together this weekend was a huge treat! I was also spoiled Scotty gave me another diamond wedding band for my ring it is beautiful but getting sized so when I get it back I will post pictures, but it is gorgeous! Scottys gift was tickets to a Washington Red Skins game which we are both so excited for. We are going to the Red Skins Stealers game in November and we can't wait! I love you babe and thank you so much for being the best husband and father! You are my best friend and I am so blessed that I get to share my life with you. I LOVE YOU!

Here are some pictures on our wedding day!
Here we are five years later on our anniversary.

Of course I couldn't make a post without some info on our little guy. Barrick had his nine month appt. yesterday and it was sad because he remembered what goes on at the doctors office. Once we walked in he was so nervous and when they weighed him he started crying which is not like him. But silly Barrick no shots at nine months. So he was fine after a little while. He is in the 10% in weight and 50% in height. Isn't he a cutie!

And here is a quick movie, sorry its not the best but it's the only one I have handy at the moment. We will try to record more!
