The Cheesecake Factory!!!

Jed, TomiLee, and Little Sawyer Man came to visit Colorado to go to a Bronco's game and we were able to meet up with them at my all time favorite restaurant, The Cheesecake Factory. We had a great time and loved being with them! We miss our family!

Rafe 1 and a half now!!

We had a little get together with my cousin, Alice, on Rafe's one and a half birthday. I love Halloween and cake so I made a Halloween cake. Go figure. Any excuse I can get to make cake, I'll take. The next day, I came home from a meeting to find Rafe had built his first fort with Dad. It was so neat and fun to watch them play in it. It was just Rafe's size......Ryan on the other hand...Not So Much!! But kids of all sizes are welcome in the fort.

Catching up

So it's been awhile since I've been able to post on my blog. During that time we have found a condo we love, that Ryan hasn't seen the inside of yet, put an offer down that was accepted and now are waiting to close. We are so excited! It is located in Parker, Colorado and is about 2 miles away from Ryan's school which is what we were wanting. Save money on gas, WAHOO! We can't wait to start working on fixing it up. We'll keep you posted.

Ahhh Fall,,,,,My favorite time of year and it's here!!.

Casper my Baby Powder Ghost!

Yesterday I had just finished changing Rafe's diaper and when I put powder on him I always say, "Poof Poof". I usually twist the Bottle closed right away but didn't do it this time and Rafe grabbed the powder and shook the bottle and said, "Poof Poof" and got powder all over himself. It was so funny!! He couldn't even open his right eye because it was completely covered with powder so I had to wipe some off before I took these pictures. Just wanted to share that funny things Rafe does on a daily basis.

Growing up so Fast!!!

So a week ago Rafe got a pretty miserable cold, that he is still fighting, and he has always had my old bed in his room next to his crib/pack 'n' play that he has slept in since he was born, which he is now way to big for. Well, I felt that I should sleep in his room with him because I knew he would be waking up a lot in the night. So we decided to just sleep in the big bed together. Since that time he has now graduated from his crib to sleeping in his big boy bed. He loves it and hasn't fallen out yet that we know of. We lowered it to the ground so that the mattres and boxspring wouldn't keep falling off the bed frame. He is growing up so fast. I can't believe it!!

Salt Lake City Fun

Before we left for Colorado, we spent the day in Salt Lake City. We went with Grama, Aunt Amanda, cousin Evin, Uncle Jed, Aunt TomiLee, and cousin Sawyer and took the Front Runner down to Temple Square where we had lunch at the Joseph Smith Garden Room. We then walked around Temple Square and went to the Gateway and played in the water and went to Build-a-Bear where Grama bought her three grandsons their own individual bear. It was a great day!!
