Back to ID, the new business and more travel...

My parents went to Vegas for the weekend

so I took the boys and we went and stayed the weekend with

Brody...

This was all Tydon could think about while we were there :)

Gordon recently started his own business...

Wood Works Contracting

(We are in the process of designing his logo)

He is working on getting his general contractors license,

so he is going to be doing remodels, finish work and handyman stuff.

He is sooo good at what he does and he is really enjoying it.

He is remodeling a home in SLC right now. 

Here are a few of the most recent pics...

Kitchen with new cabinets

 In the middle of taping before the paint...

 Bathroom...

 Hall closet...

 Laundry/Mud Room to outside back patio

 Front of the house waiting to be painted...

It is coming along... Should be up for sale in a few weeks!!

I'm so proud of Gordon and all of the hard work that is going into this home.

When Gord was getting started on his house I flew to Palm Springs 

for a personal development training... what an AMAZING experience!

The conference took place at the Grand Champions Hyatt

in Desert Hills, CA

The rooms are gorgeous...

 Each one has a step down sitting area with it's own balcony...

 The grounds are beautiful...

Very kid friendly

 It was great meeting some new people and 

getting reacquainted with old friends :)

 Sandy from TX

 Our trainer and one of my mentors Marc Acetta

 It was definitely a Journey...

 Another mentor, Mike Azcue

 This group from TX knows how to have

fun!! Can't wait to see them in Vegas :)

 This was the view from my condo...

13th Green at Oasis Country Club.

(Wishing Gord would have been with me so we could have golfed)

 My rental car!!

(okay... I wish... Beautiful Bentley sitting at the hotel)

 What an amazing trip...

I learned a lot about myself and can honestly say

I'll never be the same after an experience like this training provided!

I look forward to taking friends and family with me next year.

Updating May...

And some of April :)

Easter was fun this year...

The boys loved coloring eggs and got pretty excited when

they woke up to find that the Easter bunny had come and hid their eggs and left them some gifts.

 They are best buddies :)

 All dressed up for church...

 Then to the egg hunt with Gord's sister's fam...

 They grow up too fast!

We celebrated Gord's 31st birthday! 

{Happy birthday to John and Cambrey too}

Last week Tydon was helping put a folding chair away and he 

got his finger stuck in it. OUCH!! 

Mother's Day was perfect...

I got to sleep in!!

The boys made me pancakes that said "We luv U"

and a gift certificate for some pampering.

I'm so grateful to be a mom :)

  Newest excitement around here besides warm weather...

NO TRAINING WHEELS!!

Ready Set...

 Go!

 So proud :)

It only took him a couple hours!

What a stud :)

Gord is such a good dad. 

He LOVES his boys and we LOVE having him home!

Ouch!!

Tydon was pushing a pillow around on the floor...

The pillow stopped but he kept going...

The floor won :(

October to November...

I'll be the first to admit that I've been horrible at updating lately...

I still can't believe November is more than half way over.

Thanksgiving is next week... really?!

So here is a quick recap of our Oct and the beginning of Nov

Little "H" turned 1 yr -

We love this little guy to pieces and are so grateful for his sweet spirit.

 

 

He was battling ear infections all of Oct so he still hasn't had his own Bday cake...
Poor kid!

Tydon LOVED Itty Bitty Football again this year.
He is such a stud!


 
I met up with a friend at a new pizza place in town NYPD Pizza
It was sooo yummy!
Tydon loved making his own pizza :)

We finished the month off with a fun weekend ALL about Tydon!

It started Friday when he woke up to see that Grandpa and Brody had come to visit :)

{They were on their way to Green River for the weekend}

Then later that night we went to a Halloween Party

My aunt and her kids showed up later that night to celebrate the weekend with us.

Saturday morning Tydon chose his favorite breakfast... Pumpkin Pancakes with buttermilk syrup and Powdered Sugar :)

Then we made a quick visit to see G&G Eaton in Riverton.

On to Yogurtland... can't tell you how excited I am that this is in town :)

The weather was decent for Halloween this year

 

 Then we made our way to Gardner Village to find the Witches

Next stop was Wheeler Farm...

I had to laugh because Gordon got more excited to take a picture of this thing than he did his own kids while we were there...

Yes... live pack rats... look for them next time you are there!

Just as we were leaving it started to rain... perfect time to hit up CHUCK E CHEESE

He's been talking about going there for months!

He LOVED it... but said Lagoon was more fun :)

Then we headed home for presents...

Cake and Ice Cream...

And we were so happy the cousins were here to take Tydon

Trick or Treating

Fun way to end the month!!

November has been pretty busy so far...

I just took the boys to ID for a week and it was lots of fun.

The boys always look forward to visiting Great at the mall.

One night I got to meet up with several of my HS friends :)

It was a blast catching up!

I left the boys with my sis-in-law for the weekend and went to Phoenix for the weekend...

forgot my camera {so sad} but the 84 degree weather was fabulous... poolside... Yogurtland... yummy food... catching up with friends and some more travel planning... such a fun weekend!

Gordon was super excited to have us home :) We missed him lots!

This weekend we get to have our cousins over for a couple nights while their mom and dad go to a wedding in Nauvoo. Tydon and Henson are lovin it!

We are looking forward to hitting the road again next week to visit our family in ID!

Guess it's time to start thinking about Christmas.... crazy!!
