It's a.......

BOY!

We are having another boy and just TRILLED!! We found out Yesterday at our ultrasound it was really fun to see him moving around and everything. The Ultrasound technician was having a hard time figuring out the sex because he was wiggling around so much, we were there for about an hour and she couldn't get him to cooperate till about the end. She said that everything looks good he is a very Healthy baby, that's all we cared about so we are happy! We can't wait to get him here and play with him we are going to have so much fun with 2 little boys around the house! Another plus is we wont need to really buy anything new because we have so many boy things which will be great since we are moving 3 months after he is born. Here are few picture of the little guy!

The best 3 years of my life

Three years ago yesterday, Brandon and I were married. That was by far the BEST decision I have ever made in my life! I love him so much more now then I did then. When we were getting married I remember people telling us that we didn't know what love was and that we will know as the years pass and see how much our love grows with each passing year. Well, I'm sure I knew I was in love with Brandon but I never realized how much more I could love him now 3 years later. He is my "Mr. Perfect", "Mr. Incredible", and "Mr. E" all roll into one. My sister once told me, "you are more yourself when you are with Brandon than you are when you are with anyone else." It's true, I find myself having more confidence when I'm around him. He brings out the best in me, and I am always so happy when I'm around him. I still get really giddy when I know he is going to come home. I could seriously go on and on about how much I love Brandon, and why... But I think I will stop there, and share the events that took place for our anniversary!
I was so lucky that I got to spend most of the day with Brandon yesterday. Tuesdays are his days when he only has one class, and he gives plasma so he was home by noon. He planned everything out so perfectly, and it was all amazing. First off, Monday night Brandon asked me if I could make up some pizza dough and put it in the fridge because he wanted to wake up and make me scones for a breakfast in bed. So around 6:30am he came into my room with store bought doughnuts on a tray. He had woken up an hour earlier than that so I really wondered why he asked me to make the pizza dough if he wasn't going to make scones. Then he left the room and brought in a pizza that made me tear up. (A little back story, Brandon's and my first date was making a pizza together... this was almost 4 years ago... and here is the picture)



And here is the photo of the pizza that he woke me up with yesterday!!



It was amazing it looked so great. He is the sweetest. Then we exchanged our gifts. Brandon got me the most AMAZING picture of Christ with a little boy, I LOVE IT!! It's one of my favorite pictures and he got it framed for me. Needless to say I started crying. He's really good at sentimental gifts.



I then gave him a new wallet that had a bunch of our new family pictures in it, some pistachios and a game called "Loot".



Brandon then went on his way to school. When he got home we ate our pizza and spent time together as a family. Around 3:00 we dropped Krew off to a babysitter (thanks Mandi and Tyrell You guys are awesome) and Brandon and I went to the temple to do sealings, this had been sort of a tradition it's nice to go back and hear the same words that were spoken to us on the day we were married, and help those who can't do it themselves. I feel so blessed to know that I will be with Brandon for eternity. After the temple we went to Idaho Falls and ate at "Texas Roadhouse". This has also been a tradition and we go every year on our anniversary, so fun and so good. Brandon said the most ROMANTIC thing he has ever said to me yesterday while we were there "You look especially beautiful in this light, mainly because of the smell of meat in the background!" Isn't that so romantic? He is so sweet!
We then went to Walmart and bought the new Disney/Pixar movie "Up" since it came out yesterday it was on sale. We headed for home after that trying to pass some time, before our movie started at 9:00. So we just hung out and watched a little bit of "House". Then went to see "Surrogates" with Bruce Willis. It was a pretty good movie, I must admit, I really actually enjoyed it. As we were coming home we called the babysitters to tell them we were on our way and they said "he can just stay the night tonight if you want he's already asleep and he's doing quite well, so if you don't want to wake him up he's more than welcome to stay the night." So we let him have his first sleepover. It was really hard for me. I missed my baby boy so much. But it was nice not to have to worry about him waking up and then not wanting to go back to sleep. We had such a great day. Thanks babe for making me so happy and for being such a wonderful husband. I love you sooooooo much. I can't wait to spend many many more anniversaries with you!

Halloween in the Stone

For Halloween this year we actually had two separate costume for each of us. This was because we already had an idea of going to our ward halloween party as characters from disney's "Sword in the Stone." And then we were invited to a superhero murder mystery Halloween Party! So the first ones are of us at the ward party. I think that Diedre did a pretty darn good job with the costumes even though she only spent a week making them.



As you can see Brandon went as Merlin (however a lot of people thought that I looked more like Dumbledore)



Then Diedre went as Mad Mad Mad Mad Madam Mim (People that that since Brandon was Dumbledore that she could have been Tonks)



And Krew went as King Arthur "Wart" (People assumed that he was any Griffindor)
We didn't realize until we got to the party that our costumes doubled as Harry Potter costumes. So I guess we already have ours done for next year!!!

Then for the day before Halloween we were asked to be part of a Murder Mystery Dinner. It was done by some of our best friends in our ward here in Rexburg, Mandy and Tyrel Brown. They did a fabulous job with the party and I can't imagine how long the spent on it. Went we got to the party the whole room was plastered with butcher paper crumpled and spread out along the walls with flashlights decorated as torches, and orange streamers going down the sliding glass door as lava. It was suppose to look like the residence of a super hero justice confederation and it was INCREDIBLE!!!!! So here are a few pictures of our costumes... and some that we stole from the Brown's blog of the rest of the heroes.




As you can see Brandon went as "The Jester" with the super ability of making people laugh... he simply had to go and tell corny jokes a lot and wear spandex pants.



Diedre went as a super hero named "Rabbitron" with the ability of speed. So she talked, ate, and moved really fast. She also had a magic carrot that could heal people unless it was a poison. (unfortunately for "Nerdon" (who played the part of "the murdered") he was poisoned so he couldn't be saved.)



This is the whole crew, in total there were 16 of us and it was an absolute blast!!!
