I am totally in love...

So... its true... I am a little bias when it comes to this face. Regardless I am totally in love with this boy!! What a sweet blessing it is to have such a wonderful son. His birthday is coming up and I cant believe it has been 2 years already since we met for the first time. Since we are expecting now... it brings the reality of how fast they grow up seem so true. Its so amazing how quickly everything changes and how incredible it is to be a Mother. Ok ... I'm done gushing but this pic is truly special to me I really think it brings out his true personality. What can I say I am a proud Mom lol.

Yes, in the picture below he and Ender are sharing his goldfish crackers lol, they are seriously joined at the hip - he and his buddy do everything together. Ender sleeps on the floor wherever it is Ori is napping at the time, and he follows him everywhere. Ender is a great nanny and takes a lot of abuse from Ori (but he loves every second I promise lol).

A Tearful (Sort of) Goodbye

Well, the time has finally come. We appear to have sold the montero. The guy is coming from Fillmore to pick it up tomorrow. He has given it a test drive, he has a loan, and he's ready to go. It's very bittersweet for me. Since I was a kid, I had wanted a big, black, powerful SUV in which I could take on the elements. I would take my friends snowboarding, go camping, or even pull some wave runners. I was way stoked when I bought it. This was the first car that I bought all by myself, with no help from my parents or anyone else. It worked well during my days at PCTV, and I have loved owning it. But as my life has changed, so have our needs as a family. I went snowboarding one time last year. I haven't been camping or wakeboarding in longer. I no longer work up the canyon, and gas prices....well, you know. And if I am being objective, I must say that the montero sport only gets about 17 mpg, and we've had to dump a TON of money into it to keep it running this year (183,000 miles!) So Brandi has finally convinced me to adapt, for our finances sake. I'll miss you, montero, except when I have to fill up. And when we have to fix you every week. And when....

spoiled? Nah...

So Orion's best buddy Isaac (lives next door) has some cool cousins who own a bouncy house. They decided to bring it buy and man what an exciting time, this big huge bouncy house for two small boys.
all the neighbors would drive by and slow down it was pretty funny to watch and the boys went crazy over it. Orion slept great that night haha!

We love St. George!

We finally got a little time to go down to St. George and visit my Gammy and Grandpa - we sure have fun when we go down there. The weather was beautiful and perfect for playing outside in the water (as you can see lol). Dustin and I LOVE to golf and I am really starting to like it more then I ever thought I would. However it is a little difficult now that I am so prego (throws off my center and swing ha). While we were there we got to go three times, and while we were gone this was Ori's entertainment. Because we live in a Condo he doesnt really have a place to play in the hose - but he sure loved it down there. Everyday he was outside most of the day playin in the water and with golf balls etc.

These pics were taken with my phone ( I always forget the camera) so they are a little fuzzy but still fun. He is watching TV with the dogs.

We sure love our time and visits there. Thanks Gammy and Grandpa for being so great! We always look forward to coming again and it is so nice to talk and spend time with you both! We love you.
