The Coolest Month...

Just a few reasons why October may be my favorite month



1.We get to celebrate the birth of this little guy! Ry turned 5 this year and I love that he already says things like "mom that happened a long time ago when I was 4" or "I will listen now that I am 5" (too bad that hasn't come true) or "I won't be scared anymore since I am 5!"



2.The leaves were SO beautiful this year-it seemed like fall lasted forever! I couldn't get enough of my Utah mountains.



3.Halloween! Pete's mom had a costume party this year and even Pete dressed up! I honestly think it was the first time since we have been married that I have seen him in a costume. Ryan was so excited that pete dressed up as war machine from Iron man-too bad the costume was a little too short and Pete was extremely uncomfortable-it was pretty funny;)

The Beginning of a new Decade

I said good-bye to my 20's and hello to the big 3-0 yesterday! This birthday made me think about everything that has happened over the past 10 years: college, marriage, graduation, becoming a nurse, working, becoming a mother, world traveling and lots of adventures, meeting new people and keeping wonderful old friends, school, school and more school for Pete...my twenties brought SO many life changing experiences...

And while the actual day wasn't the best (d/t things unrelated to my new age;)), and while I still can't believe i am 30 (!) I have to say I am kind of excited to see what adventures life has in store for me over the next 10 years!

summertime

Sorry I have a pile of back-logged posts. Here are a few of our favorite moments from this past summer...as you can see I discovered the Instagram app on my iPhone;)










p.s Ryan didn't break his leg-he had to have his leg wrapped up just like Pete's was after his knee surgery;)
