Our New Car!

I've been meaning to blog about this for awhile! Jared and I got a new car! We love, love it and we feel very blessed to be able to get a car that will be safe (especially in the snow) for the addition of our new baby. And we were able to sell Jared's old Nissan on Craigslist...believe me, we were just glad we didn't have to give it away! I look pretty big now...I guess that's normal for 39 weeks pregnant!

Rexburg

Look at our big boy!

Ok. Disregard my voice and look at what Tyson can do!

BYU vs Oklahoma! 14-13!!!!

A mixture of pics from game day and our tour of the stadium. Look at those excited faces after BYU won! LOL! The pic looking out to another stadium is where the Rangers play their baseball games.

The winning touchdown!

It was certainly the game to be at! So fun to have tickets and be able to see it in person!

Tyson and Jason on Saturday

Had to get some pics of the lil' guy. He gets cuter and cuter each day, I think.

 

 

Not sure when he started putting his arm up to his mouth but it reminds me of what papa does when he is tired while driving. Wonder if it is an inherited trait? :)

 

He had a tough time leaving because he wanted to watch papa mow the grass.

 

Only a Few More Weeks Left!

My friend Jill took some great pictures of me and Jared in the final stretch of my pregnancy before our little girl arrives!

BYU vs Oklahoma

Jared left me over the Labor day weekend to go to Texas for the BYU/Oklahoma Football game in the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium. Although I was 37 weeks pregnant and I missed him, I knew he was doing something he absolutely loves! As I'm sure you know, Jared loves sports, especially BYU Football...and he's a huge Cowboys fan...so he was dying to see the new billion dollar stadium and the huge big screen!


He said it was so much more than he even expected. He came home before the baby decided to arrive so that's good! And he got to see BYU pull off a spectacular win!
He went with his parents and met his good friend Marc there.

He said it was a great trip!

A day at the lake

It started to rain, but weather cleared up so we had a fun time at the lake! You can't tell by his expressions but Tyson had a great time. His lil' nose stayed wrinkled and crunched up alot but he loved riding the jet ski! I took him around on it too but decided I didn't want to be responsible if he decided to go in the water so I made him go back on to the boat. He wasn't too happy about that but it made me feel better.

Seems like summer has ended way too fast this year!

They're getting a new kitchen!

Here's some pics of Janessa and Kasey's kitchen! I went over to keep an eye on the workers while J and K were working. It was interesting to note that the old top came out in one piece. It wasn't even glued down. I think the old sink was all that held it onto the cabinets.

This is one of the highest priced piece of granite. It is very dense. Called Iron Red...and there is a reason for that name. The guys were telling me that it took their fabricators over 36 hours to cut it. They ruined 3 saw blades and could only saw about 1/4" and 16" at a time. Very slow to cut. It is a beautiful piece of granite. None of the little pebbles that you find in the cheaper pieces....only smooth and wavy lines.

Hopefully they can get that beautiful piece of carpet out of there next. LOL!
