HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILLY!

It was Billy's birthday this past Saturday and we had a fun filled day. First, Logan and I surprised Billy with cinammon rolls in bed. I had been practicing for 2 weeks with Logan on singing Happy Birthday, but I was a little worried that he wouldn't remember. As soon as Billy woke up, though, and I started singing Logan was right on cue and sang the whole song with me. It was so cute! Then, we got to go see the dolphins and the white lion habitat at the Mirage thanks to our great friend Shane. He works there so he gave us the VIP tour! After that, we went to Scotty & Crystal's house and had a super yummy BBQ. Scotty grilled some carne asada which was the BOMB!! Then we got to wrap up the night watching the UNLV football game and some UFC fights. It was a great day!

Logan and Hunter got to touch the dolphins tail!

My two favorite boys!

Scotty, Crystal & the cutest nephew ever, Hunter!

The dolphins were so close. It was awesome!

Me and my monkey!

We got to go in the observation room. The dolphins spotted Logan and kept coming back to look at him. It was probably the hair!

Our family!

The white lion pups were super cute!

I can never get enough of these two!

THINGS I'D DO!

I know I always talk about how busy Billy and I so I decided to make a list of all the things I would do if I had more time on my hands. So here are the things I'd do if I had more time:

- go to the park with Logan every chance I could
- read a GREAT book
- organize everything in my house
- paint my toenails a different color at least every other day
- learn how to take great photos
- perfect the art of decorating a cake
- finally start a scrapbook
- cook something different every night of the week
- take Harley on daily walks
- have more movie nights that include my couch, some popcorn and my cute husband

I guess I could keep going with this list forever. Now all I have to do is start making time for each of these!

WE ARE HAVING ANOTHER!

After trying for almost a year, Billy and I are FINALLY going to have another baby! We are super excited and are very grateful for this blessing. This past year has been a struggle with alot of frustrations since I didn't get pregnant as quickly as we hoped I would. Along with that, Billy and I got out of the habit of going to church every Sunday so we lost that comforting feeling that it would all work out. When we moved to our own house, though, we realized how much we missed being a part of a ward family and feeling Heavenly Father's spirit so when we moved in, we found our ward and made a promise to ourselves that we would work hard to become active again. Well as soon as we started going to church and doing the things that we were supposed to be doing we found out we were pregnant. All I have to say is WOW! I have always had a testimony that Heavenly Father will bless us if we are obedient, but this experience has strengthened it so much more. It is so relieving to feel like someone is watching out for us again and to know that no matter how high the highs are and how low the lows are we are going to be just fine as long as we keep our promises to him! :)

MY LITTLE BATMAN!

Logan LOVES Spiderman, but recently has been all about Batman which I think is adorable! He is my own little personal Dark Knight! :)

He even wears his Batman mask to bed, but only when he wears his Batman pj's. He won't wear it when he wears his Spiderman pj's because heaven forbid he mix and match his super heroes!

NEW CALLING!

So Billy and I have have been in our new ward now for about a month and we love it! Everyone is super nice and friendly. We are so excited because this past weekend at church we got our new calling! We are on the activities committee which is just in time for all the holiday fun! I have to say that this is right up my alley. As much as Billy and I loved being primary teachers, I think I will like this even better! We get to help coordinate the Halloween trunk-or-treat, the Thanksgiving shoot out, the ward Christmas party and all the other fun things that happen during the holidays. I can't wait to get started! :)

ANOTHER PARTY?!?!

Logan's actual birthday was yesterday so Billy and I had a little mini family party for him with just the three of us. We got him a cookie cake with some candles and he got to open the gifts that we had gotten him. He stayed up late playing candy land and drawing on his new easel. He had so much fun.

P.S. I want two parties for my birthday! :)

LOGAN'S 3RD BIRTHDAY!

I think since my sister and I never got to have actual birthday parties when we were growing up because we have holiday birthdays, I have some subconscious thought that Logan has to have a big bash every year. This year he chose Batman as his theme so we threw him a Batman pool party. It was at Crystal and Scotty's house so there was plenty of room to run around, and they even surprised him with a big bouncy house which was definitely the hit of the party. He got spoiled with too many presents including an awesome Spiderman bicycle from auntie and unckie, but also got tons of board games which Billy and I are super stoked to play with him. The stress of getting a party together for 25 adults and 9 kids was a little overwhelming, but to see how much fun Logan had made it all worth it!
