Trick or Treat

Last night was our ward's Trunk-or-Treat. Being first timers, we weren't sure what to expect. We decorated our trunk, dressed Bella in her ballerina costume, and began our twenty minute drive to the church. I had bought a bag of candy containing 105 pieces; while driving we decided to get rid of the whoppers first because they are the grossest candy, leaving us with the Hershey bars, Reese's, and kitkats to eat all by ourselves. Little did we know that by nights end the ginormous bag of candy would be down to a meager 6 pieces! Our plans of gorging on candy for the next week were foiled!! I selfishly thought of taking Bella treating along the row of cars and eating the candy by myself, but I just didn't feel good about that. There will always be next year!

Bella found the treat basket we had and decided she wanted in on this yummy holiday.

Visitors!

All the family down on the River Walk

Wee! What a fun ride!!

If you haven't already guesses it, we had visitors. Josh and Denise flew in Tuesday, while the rest of Tyler's family (not including Mindy and Nate) came into town last Wednesday. I spent all Wednesday afternoon with Josh and Denise at the outlet malls in San Marcos. After a lot of shopping we met up with Tyler for dinner. Unfortunately Bella and I missed out on some awesome Mexican food. We went to YW instead. Thursday we went to the zoo with everyone except Ty and Cory (they were attending a dental convention seminar). After a lot of walking we met Tyler and Cory downtown on the River Walk. We had yummy food at the Rain Forest Cafe. The next morning we all went to Seaworld. It was so much fun! They have really made some changes since the last time I went, granted I was 9 years old. . . Anyway, they had some awesome rides and Isabella loved the dolphin feeding tank. That night we went to Texas' best BBQ - Rudy's. The following day everyone except Bella, Sheryl and I went to Six Flags. Instead we spent the entire day shopping. Yay! Sunday was spent at church and at the Cutler's home. It went by so fast; we still can't believe they are gone! We loved having Ty's family down to visit.

We can't believe we will be in Utah in 8 weeks! I'm practically bursting from the anticipation!!

Approaching 4 years!

As we approach our 4 year anniversary I thought it would be fun to take a look back at what has happened with Ty and Dannielle.
This was taken by our wedding photographer in Logan, UT. We still have his contact information if anyone is interested. He was amazing!

During year number one we co-founded a non profit organization and carried out a humanitarian trip to Cambodia. This is a picture of the well we had drilled for an orphanage just outside of Phnom Penh.

For our 1st Anniversary/Dannielle's Birthday we added Chesterfield to our family!

For anniversary #2 we made it to Hawaii!

Anniversary #3 was the half way mark for pregnancy #1.

In February we welcomed Bella into our Family and I've been tired ever since.

Bella and I have been good nap buddies from the beginning.

We are now getting ready for Halloween. If it's this fun before she's even 1, I can't wait to see how much fun it is when she's old enough to care!


Dannielle is pressuring me to tell you all how much fun it's been. If I have to be honest...It has been a lot of fun. I can't imagine finding someone greater than Dannielle. She tolerates me and even thinks I'm funny at times. She has been an incredible motivator as I've progressed through school and continue to prepare for the future. She is an amazing mother, and usually gets it right after I tell her what to do;) And of course life would not be nearly as much fun without all of our friends and family. We have been blessed with an amazing support system and love you all dearly. Thanks for taking a look back at these fantastic years we've shared together!


On a side note-I usually try to add a song to each post that "matches" up with the theme. I'm wondering if anyone even has the volume on while browsing blogs or if you are all like me and turn the sound off? I will probably continue to add music to my posts because I think it's fun, just wanted to see what other people thought?
