Pumpkin Patch 2012

Isn't fall the greatest? I just love seeing all the leaves change & pulling out my scarfs and boots. This year (especially since I have a child in tow) we headed over to the Farmington pumpkin patch. I know Kingsley doesn't really have a clue what's going on, but it's still nice to take him out & about.

 Looking at these pictures confirms that I really need a haircut.. Especially since I have had three men including my own father in law ask if I have extensions!? Are they even that popular anymore? I don't know, but I would rather not have people think my hair is fake so maybe I need to cut off the dead ends and get a new look.

 Hawkes is at an age where this stuff is really fun for him :)

I just die over this picture of my baby brother Jaxon. He is getting so grown up & even looks like he is getting a little stash :)

 I love to get King all dressed up

 How funny are these characters?

 Some family photos before baby # 2 arrives

Grandma & Kingsley were matching :)

 The crew, can't wait to go again next year!

Adjusting

So I am feeling happy & settled here in Utah finally. It is so nice to be able to run errands by myself, see family, & just have so many resources at my fingertips. Jeremy on the other hand I think has had a harder time adjusting. One of the big things being the weather. I think he almost cried when it snowed here last week, he really is a baby when it comes to cold weather. I don't know if he will ever stop missing the warm MX weather.

Diesel just like his dad also hates the snow & cold. It's very hard to get him outside to go to the bathroom because he won't step near the snow. I thought these snow boots would come in handy, but turns out he doesn't enjoy them..

I think these BYU sweats are the only warm clothing Jeremy owns. We will probably need to get him a whole new wardrobe including a coat & such, but I am going to wait until next fall. I was so glad to throw away almost all of his old khaki floods that he has been wearing to work for the last 8 years! I know he doesn't enjoy wearing a suit everyday, but at least he doesn't look homeless anymore :)

So luckily the weather was warm enough this sunday to get outside & play tennis. I loved to go play tennis with Jeremy & Diesel in the summer which usually ended in a water fight, so hopefully after this baby comes we can get back into it, because it is such fun exercise.

Landon & Meg against Jer & Prezley

This would be Prezley's oops face. Pretty cute I think.

Jeremy enjoying himself :)

I played some but couldn't really get to the ball unless it was coming straight to me. So I just pouted with Diesel in the corner. No not really I had a lovely time.

I'm at 29 weeks today & can't believe how the time has flown by! Could I really have a baby in 12 weeks? Feels outrageous at this point. Especially since I don't have hardly any baby items! Hopefully after my baby showers & a few purchases I will feel a little better prepared. I also think I need to sign Jer & I up for a birthing class so we aren't totally clueless when the time comes. Also I'm still open to any advice anyone wants to throw my way :)

Floods = Mud.. Again!

Yesterday was just one of those days..

I was done with being in Mexico,

I was missing my family & friends,

I was sick of watching football games with my husband,

so when something I had been very excited to purchase went out of stock immediately,

I lost my mind!

Really I did. I was so devastated I found myself weeping in the tub.

Yep. Embarrassing but true.

Then to make matters worse it started raining..

Which made things seem even more depressing since I had planned to lay out at the pool that afternoon :(

But soon rain turned into more rain which turned into hail!

It went on like this for hours, which isn't good since San Felipe is not made for rain. It has only rained 3 times in the whole two years I have lived here! You can see HERE what happened the last time it rained hard.

When it finally slowed down we went to go take a look outside but saw that our garage was flooded & only minutes away from coming straight into our kitchen! Jeremy quickly backed his truck out & shut the door which saved our kitchen from being seriously flooded. Some water did get in, but I was prepared with towels. 

Once it was safe to go outside we walked around to see all the damage..

Not a pretty sight.

Hopefully that is the last rain storm of the year, because I can't take another day like this one! We were so glad the storm didn't hit in town (10 minutes from the Ranch) because the small homes have no protection and would have gotten destroyed..

That night Jeremy & I fought over who got to power wash the garage. Why we both thought it was so fun, I don't know.. maybe it was just one of those days where working makes you feel better.
