Updates and Nesting... Week 2

Quick August Update

Gordon and I celebrated our 5th Anniversary this year!
It was a perfect weekend... We ate dinner at The Roof, walked Temple Square, toured the Conference Center, stayed at the Anniversary Inn and shopped till we dropped in Park City. I'm so grateful to be married to my best friend.

The month of August was $2 Tuesdays at Thanksgiving Point so we took Tydon to the Dinosaur Museum. I think Gordon enjoyed it just as much as Tydon...

Gordon has been busy helping his sister remodel their house.

It is all taped and textured now...
This was a tricky spot over the closet.
Changing Pad and a matching Wipe Case
Gord's sister-in-law had her baby... can't wait to meet her this weekend.
Laurel requested Pink and Brown and she's a country girl
Matching wipe case
So soft!
This one was for Gord's niece who is due next week!
This is her diaper bag...
It's always more fun to have a matching wipe case ;)
The elastic on the back comes in handy when the babes
don't need a changing pad anymore
Nesting Update
Last week was pretty successful.
I washed all the 0-3 month clothes...
Thanks for the tip Sha
Completed the burp cloths...
It always feels good to use up some scraps ;)
Nesting... Week 2
Gord is almost done with his part of the bassinet
now it's my turn to get busy!
This is our inspiration...
We wanted something that we could break down and store since you only use the bassinet for a month or two, but we weren't about to pay $400 for it!
Once that's done-
I'm hoping to make a few of these...

Father's Day and FINALLY warm weather!!

Yesterday was a fun relaxing day.

We started with this...

Went to church and then the boys came home and...

Love moments like these ;)

The day before we spent the day running errands and finally
picked out some flowers to plant (Mother's Day present).
Gord was so good to help me get them planted, even though it was suppose to be his day.
Thanks Gord being such an AMAZING dad and husband!
We love you...

The rain has FINALLY stopped for a minute!
Today we ventured to Wheeler Farm

The weather was perfect and the kids had a blast!

After we looked at the animals we had a picnic on the grass...

Tydon loved seeing his friends from West Jordan and can't wait to see them again.
This week is the Lehi Round-Up so we are excited to keep busy with lots of fun activities.
Gord will be flipping burgers Friday night at the concessions if anyone plans to attend the Rodeo :)

Back to Miscellaneous Monday...

I haven't posted any miscellaneous stuff lately...

We are still unpacking boxes - I should be working on some more right now, but I'm looking for a distraction instead ;)
I really need to get to it though so Gord thinks I did something today...
Thank goodness for wireless internet! I feel bad stealing someone's connection, but glad that I'm able to keep in touch with everyone until we decide to get our own.

Here are a few more fun ideas I might like to try eventually...

If I ever get my sewing machine out again, this would be nice.

Is it really the end of December?!

The last couple of weeks have been very busy and pretty emotional... As soon as Gordon accepted his offer and we knew we were moving to Utah it seems like December has come and gone without time to breathe!! We spent 4 days looking for a house and realized that living in Utah is NOT going to be cheap... We put a deposit down on a town house and after we got home it just didn't feel right so we continued to look and found the house we are in now which has been a blessing. (pictures to come in January) Moving meant that we needed to get our house ready to rent. We have renters in the basement so we decided to rent the top as well. So... we moved everything out of our house and into an enclosed trailer in our drive way for 2 weeks while we painted, carpeted, repaired and cleaned... I don't think I have been this stressed out in a LONG time!! We refinished our hardwood floors in the living room when we moved into the house 3 years ago, but decided carpet would be better for renters...

We planned to put carpet in our bedroom eventually, but of course NOW it happens :)

Our house was such an obstacle course!! Yes I still cooked in here for 2 weeks!! Yikes.

Thank you so much to Gord's family and our friends that helped us!!
We LOVE you and appreciate all you do.

FINISHED PRODUCT

Pneumonia Scare

During the whole mess Tydon had a pretty bad cough and wasn't breathing too good so I took him to Urgent Care where the PA told me that he needed to be admitted to the hospital for pneumonia!! YES I was freaking out. We ended up taking him to the ER for a second opinion and they ended up giving him an antibiotic and sent him home. It all happened the same day as the Wood Family Christmas party, but we made it!

Tydon also had his FIRST visit to the DENTIST!!

My aunt Alison is a hygienist and was so good with him.

He was a big boy and left with a smile.
Love this kid!!

We are happy to be home for the holidays so we can spend time with family and friends before we officially move Utah.
