The middle of March...

March 15th-  One of the first (of many!) Springtime walks around our neighborhood.

March 16th- A close up of Miss Aisley. She loves teething rings.

March 18th- Late night antics with this pretty little lady. It's like she thinks she is cool when she is up late with mommy and daddy.

March 19th- The kids got a package from Grandma Melanie! Aisley loved playing with this squishy frog and Keaton has been in heaven with his "Pop the Pig" game! Thanks Grandma!!!

March 20th- The Old Navy balloon- a.k.a. "Keaton's best friend." (I'm not sure if that's sad or cute???!!!) We STILL (over a month later) have this balloon. Boy, some days I just wish it would pop, but I sure don't have the heart to do it myself! And, Harry Potter stamps... need I say more!

March 21st- Keaton's house for his bear. This boy loves to build things- just like his dad.

Aisley, my obsession, and feeling loved.

January 5th-

My view from here.

Isn't it just beautiful?

This view is one of my very most favorite things about living in Maryland so far.

ANOTHER trip to Utah (Part 2): Missing Provo...

Being in Provo to drop Macy off at the MTC made me a little homesick... I miss Provo... I miss BYU... Keaton and I, along with Hunter, Maddie, and Brooklyn made a quick visit to campus and it made me really wish I still lived in Orem, that Justin was still a BYU student, and that we could still be enjoying all the great things that the Provo/BYU atmosphere has to offer. Some people might think I'm silly to feel this way, but I lived in Provo/Orem for 8 years and after that much time in one place it really starts feeling like home. Besides, I truly loved my/our time at BYU and will always look back on those memories fondly.

Justin's racecar that he worked on his last 2 semesters at BYU is now being displayed at the Hinckley Alumi building and since we moved before it was put on display I really wanted to go and see it with Keaton and the kids. (I wish Justin would have been with us to see it too!) It is really a nice display and it was fun to see all the pictures and info about the race that Justin's team was a part of.

Happy Halloween!

Our Halloween was pretty low key. We had the missionaries and the Spicer's over for dinner. And, after the missionaries left the Spicer's joined us to take Keaton to do a little bit of Trick or Treating... But boy did we have one sad puppy on our hands! Ha, ha. Needless to say Keaton didn't really love his costume.

But, we knew he would like going out to get some candy and once he was distracted he ended up really enjoying himself. :)

Ben and Kari. :) We always have such a blast hanging out with them!

Keaton enjoying all his candy. :) I don't think he has ever eaten so much candy at one time in his life! We only went to about 6 houses, but he didn't care he got plenty of candy to make him happy.

Us and our cute puppy. :)

Happy Halloween everyone!

Disneyland Halloween party! *Day 4

Our little pirates! All dressed up and ready to go Trick or Treating in Disneyland!

Hmm... this pirate was in a bad mood!

The Haunted Mansion all decked out for Halloween and The Nightmare Before Christmas!

Our Wreck it Ralph Halloween trick or treats bags. :) By the end of the night we had soooo much candy!

We didn't really know what to expect for the Disneyland special Halloween party that we bought tickets for, but the whole night ended up being so much fun! It was totally worth the extra money to buy tickets for the party. The Trick or Treating was great, they gave out handfuls of candy each stop, there were tons of characters all over the place, the lines weren't too long for the rides, and the Halloween parade and fireworks were awesome! My new favorite time to be at Disneyland for sure! Halloween PLUS Disneyland- what could possibly be better than that!?!
