My Baby is becoming a BABY! =)

This is the happy news babycenter.com shared with me today. =)

Your baby, just over 1 1/2 inches long and about the size of a fig, is now almost fully formed. His/Her hands will soon open and close into fists, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under her gums, and some of her bones are beginning to harden.

He/She's already busy kicking and stretching, and her tiny movements are so effortless they look like water ballet. These movements will become more frequent as his/her body grows and becomes more developed and functional. You won't feel your baby's acrobatics for another month or two — nor will you notice the hiccupping that may be happening now that her diaphragm is forming.

This sure was fun to read! Last I heard my baby was still a little bean with one nub for an arm. (Pictured above:8 weeks). I am now 11 weeks along and doing great! =)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Its official. Its getting colder.

The only thing that keeps me going through winter is the string of fun holidays back to back. To start off of this years winter holiday festivities...first up, making bats for Halloween!


I've never been to a Halloween party before (besides ward parties) and this year we went to TWO. Our first party we were invited to by our friends Katelyn and Steve. Taron and I went as Nerd Herders from the TV show Chuck. Steve and Katelyn went as vampires. We had a fun night of goodies, Halloween scavenger hunt, and darts.


My team mates for the Halloween scavenger hunt.

WE WON! I haven't won anything in a really long time. Let a long a competition between lots of people. I am pretty stoked about my prizes!


Next up, Carving pumpkins!
Mine is left, Taron's is right

Cap's pumpkin


Our second party! This one I helped a couple of my co-workers throw.
This party we had Cap complete us by coming as a Buy More retail salesman.

Mummy pizzas we brought to the 2nd party. (With my cell phone in my pocket so we wouldn't miss Matt's exciting phone call.)

At this party we also enjoyed goodies and games! Scary charades, monster tag, m&m game, murder in the dark, and mafia.





And last but not least, on Sunday we had our traditional Halloweenie dinner! Mummies, severed hand punch, bones, and forked eyeballs.



Happy Halloween Everyone!

Tea Anyone?

Yesterday my friend Katelyn invited me to go to a tea party.(I had no idea what was coming!) I've been to a tea place once before with Taron's family but this was nothing like the one before! The other one I went to was more of a small restaurant which was set up all fun and fancy for tea. This place I went to yesterday wasn't a small restaurant but instead a lady's house who decided to host tea parties for a living. Just walking through her front gate brought you into a new world. Her yard was a beautiful green over grown garden with stone pathways and grape vines draped over arches. She lived in this old Victorian/vintage house filled with old nic-nacs, drapes, vintage wall paper and lace. She had a million of fun big hats and was happy to dress us up for tea! We were informed of proper etiquette and the proper way for a lady to lay one's gloves on the table and the different meaning for placing ones gloves a certain way. She served us with a few delicious courses of fancy tea foods like scones....her cooking was YYYUUUUUMMMY! Along with tea she served us this lavender lemonade which, hands down, was the best lemonade I have ever had! No other lemonade will ever compare. The lady, I think her name was Tawnya, went above and beyond in trying to create a special atmosphere to come and relax and rejuvenate. She was sweet and full of life and helped me remember how magical life can be. =)

Cruise Pics!

Lots of pictures from our Cruise uploaded onto my facebook! (It was easier/faster then blogging about it since there was so many.)

One Year Down, Forever To Go!

Last summer Taron planned the perfect proposal, a pic-nic on top of the ropes course tower. This year for our anniversary we decided to relive those memories and have dinner on top of the tower! Steak, potatoes, and corn! Yummmmm!








I've couldn't have wished for a happier year! Happy Anniversary Taron! I'm excited to have an eternity of anniversaries to come! =)

A day off from work? Yes please, Lets play!

This weekend was the first weekend where both Taron and I had a night and the next morning off! So my co-worker Shanna and I wasted no time planning a camping trip for the weekend to take full advantage of our precious time away from that boring office.

got to use our new tent for the very first time! We wanted to zip our sleeping bags together so we could snuggle the night away but Taron's sleeping bag was not compatible with mine so we had to be content with being separated for the night. It was weird being so close to Taron yet so far away with layers of sleeping bags between us. Don't worry, this didn't stop us! We still fell asleep holding hands out of the tops of our sleeping bags and reminiscing about the summer that we met and first fell in love. =)

It was also fun to play with Shanna! We tried several times to get a good scared face for the "Sasquatch" behind us before we finally got it right! lol!

Next Stop, The Dunes! Saturday after we slept in, ate breakfast, played a few games and packed up camp we headed home to freshen up and then took off for our next adventures!





The sand was extremely hot so we didn't stay super long and we didn't hesitate to head off to our next adventure to cool off, Egin lakes!
