The Best Season and The Best News.... :)

Happy Fall Ya'll!

We kicked off the fall season right with a lovely drive up the canyon with my twin sister, Ashley, her husband, Jonathan, and my adorable nephew, Leo. It was so much fun and the leaves were stunning! Leo loved being outdoors, but I think he still loves Tyler more. :) He's obsessed with his Uncle Tyler and Uncle Christian. I guess I need to start slipping him some more treats... :)

Last month Tyler's family had some changes - his brother, Matthew, got married so we went up for their wedding and that same weekend, his other brother, Joshua, had his mission farewell. They came down after that and we got to take Joshua to the MTC. I'm so excited for him and know he will do great out in Ohio!

Elder Bake - just missing Brandon, Juli, Matthew, and Kaylee :(

And last but definitely not least, the best part of this blog post - Tyler and I are expecting a baby come March 2017! It seems like everyone and their dog is expecting right now, but we are happy to join the club! :)

Hopefully you can tell from the pumpkin color what gender it is - my dad couldn't figure it out as he said it came through as white on his phone. haha so if you're having that problem, it's a boy. I'm terrified but excited! And Tyler can hardly wait! We feel so blessed and are looking forward to the holiday seasons ahead.

Summer Memories

I can't believe it's been 4 months since I've last written here! Time just goes by so darn fast. Before you know it, Christmas will be here (I may or may not have already started listening to Christmas music...).

Tyler and I had such a great summer that was full of fun and memories. We bought a new (used) crossover and we could hardly wait to take it with us on all our adventures! These included:
1. Camping!
2. Hiking
3. Baseball game
4. Family Reunions

Tyler's twin brother, Brandon, and his wife, Juli came to visit us before they moved to Texas. We had such a fun time with them and enjoyed hiking to the hot springs up Spanish Fork Canyon.The wild flowers had just begun to bloom and it was perfect weather.

We also went on a sibling camping trip this year which was a blast! We had so much fun staying up late playing games and eating junk food :) Heather and Christian were there too but they always seem to avoid the camera...! I wish we would have remembered to take a group picture. Heather and Christian have now moved to Kansas and Trevor has moved to DC so we won't be able to hang out as siblings anymore. It makes me so sad to see our family spreading out! :(

Our new used car! First camping trip!

Cutest nephew EVER

This boy loves his mommy!

Tyler and I went to his first baseball game with Heather and Christian! We had a blast watching the Salt Lake Bees :)

Tyler and I also went up to my Aunt's property at Sour Dough Ranch. I have gone there ever since I was little and have so many fond memories of this place. I love spending time up there with my Aunt, Uncle, and Grandma. We went four wheeling, roasted smore's, and even got to see some moose! The wild flowers were in full bloom and it was GORGEOUS. Tyler did a "man" craft with my uncle and carved/made himself a leather wallet! It turned out so cool. We also went with my Aunt and Uncle to their town's Fourth of July parade.

The rest of the summer was filled with Tyler taking the GRE again and completing another round of PT applications. Tyler's already heard back from one school and received an interview so we're hopeful that his application is much stronger this year!

And now my favorite season is already here! Wahoo! On to cooler weather, colorful leaves, and the smell of pumpkin spice everywhere. :)
