Graham is an artist

Graham is becoming quite the artist with taking photos on our phones! He did an entire photo shoot with his Hulk and Spider Man toy. It cracked us up! I also DO NOT know how we lucked out to get Wells. He is SUCH a sweet little baby, sleeps like an angel, has transitioned to our new home like a breeze, and just loves laughing and chatting with us. We’re the luckiest parents alive.

We also said official goodbyes to our landlords and we were SO sad. We will miss them more than I can say! They were so incredible and have become such great friends. We were so lucky to know them and get to share space with them, watching our kids become friends. Hopefully we will still get to see each other lots!

Moving Day and Empty House Tour

We MOVED. I can’t believe it! Our new house is beautiful and we are obsessed with it. We are SO sad to leave our apartment. We have loved it more than anything. Our landlords were amazing, and we will miss them as our friends. Graham loves Brooklyn and Hudson and his little neighbor friends more than anything. We will miss all of it so much.

Moving day was wild, Grandma Ann watched the boys and we had SO much help. I’m SO SO glad we hired movers. Both of our parents and Liv and Beth were SO helpful all day long and we owe them everything for helping us get our house all settled and ready.

That night we had a mIsHaP and drilled a hole in our powder room water line! It was not great and we got the water shut off fast, but we were freaking out. Luckily my dad came to the rescue and helped us replace the pipe and Randy has put drywall and mud over the hole! So BAPTISM BY FIRE we are officially homeowners with a hole in our house haha and figuring it out!

Our builder Woodside Homes, our realtor Natalie, our lender, everyone was just incredible.

Our house is a dream come true and everything we could have asked for.

4 Months of Wells

4 months have FLOWN by with sweet Wells!
He sleeps all night and is the best baby. But sometimes he will wake up early and just CHATTER so loudly!
He will watch Graham everywhere he goes and they are the cutest pals.
He rolls from his tummy to his back and can almost roll the other way, but he gets too distracted and won’t go all the way 😂
He chews on EVERYTHING all the time. He is trying to gnaw my hand as I type this.
He laughs and smiles often, but has a little RBF which makes us chuckle.
We love Wellsie!

Halloween

We have been CRAZY getting ready for moving and moving, and trying to celebrate Halloween! We did a fun little sugar cookie day to celebrate which was great! The boys are at the cutest stages and I am loving this life with them.

On Halloween, or the celebration of Halloween, we moved! More on that later, but it was a crazy day! That evening we pulled on our costumes and Graham had the BEST time trick or treating! Wells wasn’t sure how he felt about his first halloween. He’s more of an indoor kid and isn’t sure how he feels about being outside a lot haha. But overall it was the BEST day for Rey, Kylo Ren, A Stormtrooper, and Baby Yoda!

Scary Hill

We had a fantastic day at Scary Hill! Bumper Boats, the maze, the hayride through the skeleton scene, and more. Fall weather has been GREAT so far so we’ve had lots of fun excursions. With getting ready to move we haven’t been out and about as much as I would like, but it’s still been a great fall!

I also got to run a 5k for my work which was a blast!

Fall Fun

October is SPRINTING by with back and forth between awful and great weather. Last weekend we attempted to go to Pack Family Farm and it was SO WINDY and terrible and cold it was a nightmare! But this weekend we went back to Black Island Farm with friends and it was perfect! Almost too warm! So that’s October for us!
Our house is ALMOST DONE and we move in two weeks! Which is unreal, I do not know where the time went! But we are so ready to have our beautiful home and love it forever. We can’t wait to get the show on the road and move in!

Graham is nervous about school and other people sometimes so that has been a new adventure trying to help him. He just cries “I will MISS YOU SO MUCH” anytime he needs to go to school or with Grandma. Wells is SUCH an angel babe but is starting to get much more opinionated about things which is making us chuckle!

Randy and I have great things going for us at work with promotions on the horizon which is very exciting! We’re ready for the holiday season and everything that will come with it.

First Fieldtrip!

I got to go with Graham on his very first fieldtrip! It was to Black Island Farms, the local pumpkin patch, and it was too fun! We got to go in the wagon and pick a pumpkin and then play on the giant slides, in the corn, and on the barrel ride. Graham had a BLAST.

It’s been a beautiful fall, so busy and moving 100 mph but also full of delicious soup and yummy treats and General Conference and music! We’re getting ready to move and wishing the time would slow down. Wells is SO close to rolling, laughs CONSTANTLY, and sleeps all night long. It’s a dream!

October Is Here

I can’t believe it is already OCTOBER. The leaves were showing off BIG TIME and we had a blast driving up the canyon and taking a family walk. Life is so crazy and busy with both Randy and I having nuts work, but spending time together as a family is the best. I want to remember forever how much Graham loves playing with his friends, watching Tik Tok late at night with Randy, the way Graham looks when we pick him up from preschool, the deep belly laughs Wells will give us when Graham teases him. All of it is just too good. Wells got to meet the Thorne’s which was so fun as we watched Duncan give his mission farewell talk. It’s crazy how fast people grow up and change–it’s crazy! PLUS it is MOVING MONTH. We move at the end of this month which is WILD. I can’t believe our house is almost done and it is looking incredible!

Lagoon Day

We had a great time taking the boys to Lagoon for the first time! Graham LOVED every ride, except for the Space Scrambler. He was so tough and ran to ride on every single thing. He was squealing and giggling on the Tidal Wave, the Dino Drop, Puff the Magic Dragon, Bombora, and really everything he rode. He just loved it all! Wells was SO good, chilled in the stroller or slept the whole time. He was a champ. It was so fun to take Graham on roller coasters getting ready for Disneyland next year! It was so fun. Liv and mom went back and rode on some other rides in the evening, but it was PACKED. Overall, it was the best day!

House Update

We can’t believe it but our house is getting so close! The kitchen is in, the flooring just got put in, and we have a closing date! We are starting to get things ready to move at the end of October and it’s just insane.

We love that fall weather is coming! The best thing about Utah is getting all the seasons and I’m so excited for what fall is going to bring! Graham is LOVING preschool, mom and dad are both killing it at work, Wells is such a sweet and chill baby who loves laughing. It’s a great time!
