Halloween
Still catching up...
Halloween 2009
We went to a Pumpkin Patch with the MBA Spouse Group. The boys loved it and especially that they each got to pick out their own little pumpkin.
Both boys got a buzz cut the weekend before so with their blonde hair it looks like they don't have any! :)
We had a Halloween Party with my family and our little fam went with a super-hero theme. We had Spiderman, Batman, and Catwoman... Dad was MIA in New York doing one of his many networking trips :)
Jackson had already taken his costume off so I don't have many picture of him in it from this night. I think a cousin made fun of him saying he didn't like Batman, so Jackson came upstairs and wanted to take it off :( Which was so interesting because at home, he wouldn't take it off! Sad to see the first time your kid gets teased...I wish I could protect him from that ever happening, but I guess that means he is just growing up and that is life, sadly enough.

Moving to Provo
Still catching up...
August 2009 - Our move to Provo
Jeremy started the BYU MBA program this fall (2009) and so we moved to good ol' P-town. Yes I became a Provo resident once again. We were really excited for this new change. Jeremy has been wanting to go back to school for a few years now, and so we finally did it. It has been a rough transition in some ways for Jeremy to humble himself to wear blue......but he finally recognized its the best school in the state and changed his ways (it's nice to have the power when blogging to write whatever I want). No really, he still doesn't wear blue much (unless it has BYU MBA on it), but the nice thing is that he has realized what a good school BYU is and that there are a lot of normal people here :)
So we moved to Provo in August before school started, even though we still hadn't sold our house in Herriman. It was hard to be paying mortgage and rent payments, but we had "faith" that we would sell our house. We were starting to worry and figured if we didn't get an offer soon, we would have to try rent it out. We decided to fast and pray and the next day we received an offer. It's amazing what a little bit of effort shows to Heavenly Father. We were lucky to close on our house by September 24th, and no longer owned a home, and were now just renters. It definitely was a sad time for me. I didn't think I would be sad, because I liked my house, but I didn't necessarily love my house. I just knew I didn't want to stay in it long term. When we were walking through for the last time I was so sad. We started our marriage in this house, had both of our boys in this house, and had so many memories here.....and now it was someone else's. It is such a weird feeling to own something and then the next day you no longer have it.
I actually get sad just looking at this picture. But I'm not sad to not have to do yard work anymore! :)

Ty's 1st Birthday!
Catching up...
August 27th, 2009
Our baby boy turned 1! I can't believe how time flies and our little Tyler turned 1 already. We had a fun party for him and he of course loved the attention, presents, and cake! :)
One of his favorite toys from his birthday. Now he has a car like Jackson got for his first birthday, and there is no more fighting...
For Ty's birthday it was a stressful time with moving to Provo, trying to sell our house, and so I didn't make a cake for Ty-Ty. I hope he forgives me, and I promise to make him a cute cake for number 2.
He still loved the cake the same....homemade or not, frosting is still frosting!
We love you Ty-Ty and are grateful for all you bring to our family!!!!

Our miraculous blessing!
July 30th, 2009
I never thought I would say that I've been in two rollover accidents but now unfortunately I can (my first was when I was a freshman in college). Our family was driving to Cali for my brothers wedding and we had lots to do before we left and both Jeremy and I hadn't gotten much sleep the last week or so. We got up at 4:30 Thursday July 30th and left at 6:30 am, we were trying to make the broadway play "Wicked" by that night in San Diego. We had only been driving 2 1/2 hours and then Jeremy fell asleep around Beaver. I had just talked to him ten minutes earlier and we were going to try make it to cedar city and then I was going to drive. Jeremy fell asleep and veered towards the center median. I woke up from the noisy groove things and yelled Jeremy which woke him up. He over-corrected and we spun through both lanes of traffic missing all the cars and then rolled when we got to the dirt on the other side. Gratefully we were all ok. Both boys were sleeping and were just a little scared but are totally fine. Luckily we turned Tyler forward for this trip since he was 11+ months. When we rolled, the back windshield blew out so dirt and glass poured in our car. If Tyler had still been backwards he would have gotten a face full of dirt and glass. We were extremely blessed and watched over in so many ways. I didn't know my older brother Greg was an exit behind in beaver eating breakfast. My mom called him and he met us at the hospital. I was strapped down to a board as my neck was already hurting. So Jeremy was left to deal with both boys by himself. Luckily my sister-in-law helped out giving Jackson a shower and entertaining him and Ty. Jeremy said he probably would have lost it if they hadn't been there. After we were done at the hospital they gave us a ride to cedar city to rent a car. We the drove back to beaver to get our stuff and clean out our car. It was definitely overwhelming to see our car and see what we survived. The rest of the trip I constantly thought about what I could have lost and feel so grateful that my whole family was protected.
Anyways, I thought I would just give a little personal reminder to NEVER drive drowsy and for me I will not sleep as a passenger ever again either. Our Camry held up well as far as safety but was totaled. So if anything good will came of this we got to get a new car. We wanted to sell our camry so we could get a bigger car, and now we didn't have to deal with selling it and got more for it being totaled than we could have trying to sell it in this market.
