My Sweet Baby is 2!!!!

Well, My darling little Goober is 2 today... I get pretty chocked up on his birthday. I can not believe that it is even possible how time has flown. How much he has changed in two years. How much he has grown in two years. How he continues to bless our lives EVERYDAY by just the simple things in life. I can not imagine not having Declan in our lives. He definitely will make anyone smile on a bad day. He humbles me. He brings me back from earthly troubles, and makes me realize what we are really here on earth for. FAMILY. The GOSPEL. To grow. To learn. To never give up... which he has shown in his first month of life. He did not give up. Heavenly Father gave him strength to not give up, and to be here with us. He is so loving and caring. Sometimes I just stare at him and think, "Did I really help make this precious little guy?" It truly is the best thing on EARTH to be a parent, to be a MOM...

Here are some pictures of his birthday party yesterday with the family and friends... and some that I took today

*A lot so bare with me*

HALLOWEEN 2009...

Declan went as YODA :) He was a cute one at that if I do say so myself... I got his costume on the K-Mart Website for only $15 dollars. It was a perfect costume. Warm and comfy. Declan seemed to enjoy it; which is always good. His "light sabre" was given by my dad. My dad is a Sheriff and this is actually a "Traffic" guide to use at night time. It really made the costume PERFECT. THANKS DAD!!

Getting ready to head out the door :) TRICK-OR-TREAT!!

"Become a Jedi you will..." My little Master YODA!!!

Declan saw all the kids walking around outside and wondered why he was stuck in a car. So dad walked him around to a few house... HE HAD FUN!! WHAT A GOOD DAD!!!Knocking on Grandma and Papa M's Door...

See's Grandma coming to the door... :)

From Behind!!! hahahha... HILARIOUS!!

Checking out his candy stash... most of his candy came from Kym and Kalab "Bob"... kept taking candy out of the bowl and putting it in his basket... hahaha...

Got a Halloween card from Grandma, Grandpa and Becky... it's the HAMSTER DANCE SONG... He loves it!

Here are also some pictures of the Pumpkin' carving and my home Decor :) Enjoy...hope you had a HAPPY HALLOWEEN. We had FUN!!

...Better Late Than NEVER...

So...

I just need to catch up on a few things that I should have posted. I will first start off with Kris. It was his Birthday on October 7th... he turned 28!! Very old and getting ornery-er everyday :) Just kidding, kidding, kidding... or am I??

(out on the FGorge Lake with my famliy)

I love my Kris SOOOOOOO MUCH!!! He is unbelievable, to say the least. Kris does so much for Declan and myself. He provides for us, and works so hard for us, and that I am truly grateful for! He is my best friend and a wonderful Father that Declan admires so much. WE LOVE YOU!!!!

Next I wanted to just announce that another couple in our family is pregnant. I mentioned awhile back in another post how Brooke and Chase *due Feb 2nd*, Sam and Laura *due Feb 10th*, and Jon and Rachel *due March 22nd*... now Kalab and Kym are!! This is Kris's twin Brother and his wife. I am very excited. Kym and Kalab came over (in August) and announced to us that they are due March 26th... so fun!! So that makes TWO BABIES in February, and TWO BABIES in MARCH. I am very happy for them. They will be amazing parents and will soon find out what it is! CONGRATS KALAB AND KYM!!!

Well, nothing really new is going on other than that. I love this time of the year though. Love the colors, decoration, smells... just everything about fall is great! Declan is going to be YODA for Halloween. He is really cute in the outfit and I will post them as soon as Halloween is done. Also his birthday is two days after Halloween and he will be 2!! So it'll be busy and I'll have some more things to post about soon... Until then...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
