Cancelled

I'm so sad. Tanner and I had a little vacation all planned out for awhile now

We were headed to Utah Oct. 8-12Th for my cousin Wayne's wedding.

He had work all figured out to where he could take the time off and everything. We had it planned his sister Elise was going to watch Joseph while we went to freightmares!

Have you ever been? If not it is a MUST!!! we went a couple years ago (since I was preggo last year) and it ended up snowing. But that didn't stop us! no one was there. We went on wicked 5 times in a row! that's not including ever other ride we did, and haunted houses! We sure got our money worth! We actually had it planned to go with my cousin who just got home from his mission. Nathan even was going to have a date for it! Him and I have always been close and I wasn't there to see him leave for his mission or come home :-( the last time I saw him was at our wedding and I was looking forward to spending time with him, we became close through the years.

this is us a few years back, Nathan is the one that won't look at the camera, his brother Jason is the one in that hat who is currently out to sea serving our country! we're pretty close too. Any who I had to text him today and cancel on him :-(

My cousin Wayne is getting married I haven't seen him since my wedding either, I was never really close to him, but when we ever got together as kids we sure had fun together, ha he taught me how to jump fences. He is getting married in the Manti temple.

I have only heard amazing things about this temple, how beautiful it is and was SO excited to see it and watch another sealing. I've only been to one and it was amazing!

Tanner took a lot of time off of work last week for school and sick and then our dog Abby who got parvo and we ended up putting her down :-( his couch went over the time with him so he was sure to get what he needed including this trip off. Well some how along the line things got mixed up and when Tanner went to look today found out that he doesn't have anymore time and his coach gave him wrong numbers or something like that. So our fun filled trip is cancelled. I was so excited our first real family outing and we had fun things planned. Who knows when we'll get the chance to get out again. I was so looking forward to my family meeting Joseph and everything. I'm crushed but I will get over it. Stupid work. Woe is life. Thanks for listening to me whine.

Okay so this proves to me I NEED to lose weight, I didn't realize I had such a fat face until I saw these pictures. I do love them though, When I lose all my weight we'll just have to get more :-) My friend from high school took these. She did an AMAZING JOB!!! hope you enjoy them.

Before and After

Before... (look at his hair) -picture taken by Samantha Parent and After... (this is really his second haircut)
If you can see I cut it all off. But all of his hair is the same length now. Joseph now has 5 Teeth!!!

the top two aren't the front their sides So he looks like a vampire haha.

10 months

Can you believe it? my little guy is 10 months already!!! I can't believe how fast time has gone by!

haha he LOVES the swings!

Go Bronco's!!! It's because he dressed up that they won of course! I have no idea what is in his mouth, my mom was watching him for some of the day.

can you see the 3 teeth? they are there. He is also getting 2 on the top also just about to cut through! So 5 teeth in 1 week isn't bad at all!

I love my little boy so much! he is SO much fun!

Teething...

Oh boy, the joy of motherhood.

I seriously LOVE being a mom, I really wouldn't have it any other way, however there are times I wish I could just go somewhere and hide for a few hours.

Joseph is teething now, he's got 3 cute little teeth on the bottom.

No more him sucking on my chin anymore to give me kisses.

Their sharp little buggers, I don't blame him for fussing all the time and wanting to cuddle but man some times I feel like I could go crazy.

He was doing SO well in his crib sleeping all night, but now he wakes up screaming and no matter what I do I can't calm him down. well that was until I bought more Hylands teething tablets and those things are AMAZING!!!

Seriously all you mom's out there with teething babies should try them out. Best thing is their all natural!!! Joseph LOVES them he'll bring me the bottle of them so I can give him more. I tried them, they really just taste like powder sugar to me, it didn't do anything to me, but it has to do something because every time I give them to Joseph he seriously will calm down and the fussiness stops for a couple of hours. When ever Joseph will let me take a picture of his teeth I'll post them.
