Happy First Birthday Ivorie

It is hard to believe that 12 months ago today this little princess of ours stole our heart. I still cant believe it has been a whole year. This little lady is so smart and is learning so much everyday. Her favorite words are Dada, yah, Nana, hi ,and puppy. She is still tiny (17.14 pounds) but is growing up fast. Ivorie at 12 months

Ivorie at 9 months

Love mommy and daddy

Within in 30 seconds Ivorie grabbed all the ads on the table and read through them all. After reading all the ads she decided she wants a DOLL for Christmas:)

Along awaited visit!!

This Past weekend we Finally got to meet our new niece Cadence, and see our little nephew Ryder.

Ivorie had so much fun playing with all her cousin. She definitely can hold her own around the boys:) (maybe to much)

Halloween fun

Halloween was so fun this year. It was extra special having a little ladybug to celebrate it with. For Halloween we went to our good friends wedding reception, then had a Halloween party at our home. We all had fun dressing up and being goofy.

Brandon has been growing his beard out FOREVER...Finally Halloween is over and he now will shave it like he promised;)

The 2 cutest bugs ever!

Larry's twin brother Barry from Beaver showed up for the party.

We hope everyone had a fun and safe HHalloween!

7 years ago............

7 Years ago today. I married my best friend, knight in shinning armour, lover, and soul mate. The last 7 year together has been the best years of my life. We have had many fun and challenging experiences together. From vacations, moving, work, miscarriage, sicknesses, family, pets, loss of loved ones, and best of all gaining a new beautiful member into our family. Through it all we have always been there for each other and always will.

Brandon, thank you for being the love of my life, my soul mate, my hero , and my BEST FRIEND. I LOVE YOU with all my heart. Happy 7 year Anniversary

Always and Forever, NI

What we have been up to

I have been busy and have been slacking on my blog post. So here is a quick over view of what we have been up to the last couple of weeks,

I drew out on the Southern deer hunt this year, so we packed up and went to the cabin last weekend. We didn't see anything but had a BLAST just being the 3 of us. Guess Bambi lucked out:)

Me, Ivorie, and OMA (gra ndma in German) went to Gardner Village to enjoy the fun decorations.

Best of all, Nana had a birthday and was surprised by her FAVORITE person in the world. The Burger King King:)

HAHA Happy Birthday Vic. We love you!

I SPY........

I SPY WITH MY LITTLE EYE...........................................................................................

A LADYBUG IN THE SKY:)

Our little pumpkin

Every year Brandon and I find a local pumpkin patch to go and pick out our Halloween pumpkins. We love the tradition. This year was extra special with "Our little pumpkin"

After a lot of searching, Ivorie found the perfect pumpkin:)

Just her size!

A visit to warmer weather.

Last weekend Kiley, Ivorie, and I took our annual weekend vacation trip to St. George, to stay with our grandparents. The weather was AMAZING!!! We had a lot of fun visiting Tuachaun. and had GREAT success at our craft booth.

Ivorie loved playing with her Great grandparents. I think he favorite thing to do was scream in Grandpa's hearing aid( again so sorry about that gramps. I hope you can hear now that were home). Thank you foe letting us visit and stay with you!

WHEELER FARM!

Bailey and I took Sawyer and Ivorie to Wheeler Farm... It's a pretty fun place to walk around. They have so many fun things do and see, especially this time of year the weather was warm but perfect.

(Giddy up cowgirl)

The cousins love playing with each other. Check them two out!!!!! They are some strong kids pushing that old wagon wheel.
