It is Fall...

The wonderful crisp feeling of Fall is definitely in the air. I love Fall it is in my opinion the best season of the year. The weather is perfect for outdoor activities, the leaves turn amazing colors of orange, red and yellow. Ahhhh Fall, sure wish it lasted longer.

We haven't been up to a whole lot lately, just work and Steve's campaign. I hope that everyone has gotten out and voted early or plans to on November, 2nd. It is such an important thing to do, your vote CAN make a difference!

I was lazy this year and didn't plan Aubrey's Halloween costume until oh 10 a.m. today! Lame right? Well she was a ballerina and I must say a very very adorable one. Cayden was a ninja, Cash was superman and they were super cute too! Aubrey and I had a ton of fun at Trunk-or-Treat

C-C-Changes.....

So many new and exciting things have been happening around here. I guess I just didn't blog about Aubrey's second birthday. =( Bad Mommy, it was a great day though. Aubrey got her first haircut! Taylor did a fantastic job, I was worried Aubrey wasn't going to hold still but she sat there perfectly. Then Aubrey, and I went and got our toes painted, she loves doing all things girly. =) We had a BBQ on Saturday the 21st she made out like a bandit. New clothes, doll, crib for her dollies, trampoline (yay no more jumping on my couch!), and a ton of other stuff. Thanks so much to our family and friends that were able to come and celebrate our princess' birthday.Papa got Aubrey her first gun! I am so jealous! I want a pink gun, I'm excited to take her out to shoot it. But not nearly as excited as her Grandpa is!

We are almost all settled back into the house. It is amazing how much work this project has been! But it is almost to the point of worth it all, I say almost because our yard is still just weeds, and dirt the walls still need painted and the list goes on. =) But it is ours!Not one of her most finest of moments, she wasn't happy that I was taking pictures of her crying on the ground instead of picking her up after she fell.

I guess the biggest change of all is I am now working full time! I got a job at Wells Fargo, and I am loving it. The hardest part is being away from Aubrey so much. I think we are both having a hard time adjusting to that. But, I'm sure in time it will be easier. I sure do miss spending all day with her though!Driving Grandpa's truck, at least she is safety conscience and buckled up!

Steve's campaign is in full force now we are only a month away from election day! I am so excited for him and his family. I know that he is the best man for the job and will bring great things to the citizens of Grand County.I can not believe it is already OCTOBER! Where in the world has this past year gone? Time just keeps going by so quickly. I am excited for the leaves to change and the start of a new season. Hope everyone is enjoying the nice crisp Fall. I know we are.Grandpa tought Aubrey how to drink every last drop of ice cream from your bowl.

Carpenter I am....

NOT!

(how do you like those for reference lines?)
I told Mat that I would take care of the stairs and the fence, in our whole move your house and take a month to get back into it adventure we are having. Well it has been an experience. My mother has been kind enough to help me since she just built her stairs a few months ago. I'm confident that we will get them finished however I am learning that we are definitely NOT professionals. Good thing we are having fun doing it. =)
Aubrey and Cayden decided to go into the hole that Axle dug last night, and WOW that dog can dig a hole! It was as deep as Aubrey is tall. They had a ton of fun playing in it though.
My poor adorable nephew Cash is just full of bad luck these days. A few weeks ago he was playing at his Dad's house and fell down and broke his arm, and just two days ago he slipped when getting off his tricycle and broke his leg! That poor kid just can't win! My mom and I are wondering if he has weak bones or what because most kids don't break so easily, I think my sister is going to take him to a good doctor outside of Moab and get him all tested and checked out to make sure it isn't something crazy like bone density issues.

We are really hoping to get moved into our house this weekend but the way our luck has been going it won't happen until next week. But fingers crossed anyway. The electricians are suppose to come today or tomorrow and do our part of the electricity and hopefully we can get RMP out on Friday. But I guess we will just have to wait and see.

I hope everyone has a good Labor Day weekend have fun and be safe! I have to work all weekend boo hoo!

Hooray!!!!!

So we finally have the house on our property!! Oh it is so exciting I was really beginning to lose hope that it was ever really going to happen. But it did. =) We moved it a week and a half ago, and all we have left to do before we can move back in is: get the electricity and gas hooked up, get new carpet in the living room, and then just clean it all up and put everything back where it goes. So we are hoping that by Monday night we are sleeping in our own bed again. But more then having our bed back I am ubber excited to have my washer and dryer. I HATE the laundry mat!

Leaving my mom's property.

Arriving at our property! FINALLY!!

In other NEWS my baby is going to be 2 on Friday!! =( I can't believe how big she is getting and how fast time has flown by. She had her well visit on Monday. The Dr. said she is growing perfectly she is in the 50% for everything but her height. But I am super short so I always expected her to be short too. =) We are going to have a party at the city park on Saturday to celebrate so if your in the neighborhood come by and have a burger.Aubrey out feeding the horses with Gam Gam.

So we have bagged a vacation all together this year =( We all have to much going on to get away. But Aubrey and I decided to go down to Cedar City this past weekend and stay with Justin and Leilani. We had so much fun. I was a little nervous about driving all that way by myself with Aubrey but it actually went really well. Leilani and I stayed up untill 2 am Saturday sewing for the photo shoot of her new nursing covers. They are super cute and totally ingenious! Congrats on your new business adventure! Saturday could not have been a more perfect day. We got up early went and got our bountiful baskets, took pictures, went to the park, all before heading to St. George for some shopping, cupcakes and playing in the water. Aubrey had a blast in the water, I am hoping that Mat will recreate something similar in our yard. I can't wait for spring now that I have my own yard again. =) Aubrey with Ranger, the puppy that only lasted 3 nights @ the Zufelts home. Bahaha You live and you learn right Justin?

Check out Udderly Me, you will wish you had one of these while you were nursing.

Ahhh summer!

WOW July has been busy so far. We had a great 4th, just hung out with the family and watched the fireworks. I am lame and didn't get any pictures of the day or of Aubs looking all cute =(. I sold my '79 Ford sad to see it go but super excited for a new fence on the property. We haven't really done anything crazy exciting just trying to stay cool in this crazy hot weather.

We are getting really excited for our vacation next month. However, I am totally bummed that we won't be going to Mt. Rushmore. Instead we will be camping in Ouray, CO. I haven't been there that I remember and I hear it has a lot of great things and at least we are still getting away from Moab.

Aubrey is growing up so fast. She will be two next month! And she is definitely acting like a 2 year old. I hope that Mat and I make it threw the next few years with hair on our heads. =)

See what happens when unattended and the A & D ointment is in reach?

Yep an ENTIRE tub in her hair! It took DAYS to wash out.

Aubrey just LOVES babies! This is her holding Kodi Ann.

Trying to climb through the dog door @ Cody & Brit's.

Like most things, Aubrey got her birthday present from my parents early. It is an F-150! Super awesome and she LOVES it! Thanks Gam Gam and Pa Pa!


(Don't mind the unpolished toes and in serious need of a pedi feet, I had an appointment that is now canceled!)

Just last night I finally convinced Mat to go down to our property and deal with the weeds that are seriously OUT OF CONTROL! We are getting everything loaded up and Mat tells me to go put on 'real shoes'. What flip flops aren't 'real shoes'??? But like always I didn't listen. We weren't even out of the truck for five minutes when I was weed whacking and one of the blades came off and whacked me!!! Ouch it hurts, but I guess sometimes the hubby is right. But shhh don't tell him. =)

Celebrate!!

My parent's 25th anniversary party was great! A big THANK YOU f0r all that were able to make it and help us celebrate. I am so happy for my parents and proud that they have been such great examples to my sister and I. Not many people stay together for the the long haul. We love you guys!
