Thanksgiving

We found out from one of Brady’s co workers that at the Zoo on Thanksgiving they feed the animals some fun food. Since Brady had the morning off and our first dinner was at 1 we went up to check it out.

They fed the tigers a pumpkin with meat inside of it. By the time we got there they weren’t to interested. We headed to the gorillas they were getting pumpkin pie it was fun to watch them play around with it and try and figure out what it was.

The elephants were also a fun one to watch they got large pumpkins and were smashing them. Then the largest elephant took a whole pumpkin and ate it in one big bite. Then we got front row to see the bears eat their pumpkins. I think Titan really enjoyed that since we read Brown Bear, Brown Bear often he knows what bears are so fun to see them up close.

We then ran down to Payson for dinner with my family, which my mom did a beautiful display on her table of dishes and serving plates. The food was good and fun to get together with some of my siblings.

Then off to Breaking Dawn part 2 with my family. I agree with everyone else that it was the best of the five. But my back did start to hurt during the movie, wish Brady had been able to come to rub my back. Guess my movie days are over till after the baby.

Then to finish the busy day off I had dinner with the Summers side of the family.Titan loved his pumpkin pie, but he played with the second piece.  It was pretty relaxed dinner with  great food. It was a long day but worth all the fun.

Halloween

This is the first year we were really able to enjoy Halloween. Titan dressed up as an elephant. Super cute easy costume. We had a fun night at home making home made pizza and carving our pumpkin. Then we went trick or treating and made sure to make it out to Titan’s nursery leaders houses so he would recognize some people. He kept saying after leaving “nice” which is what he says when he is being nice and sharing with other people so cute.

Here is me holding my pumpkin sized belly

Ready to go trick or treating

Titan’s 2nd Birthday Party

I had a big debate on if it was even worth doing a party for a two year old and decided in the long run that what would it hurt. I’d have pictures to remember it by.

Here is the super cute invitation that I found online and Brady improved and duplicated for me.

Here is the banner I made and the drinks labels Brady made.

Here is the decked our party room and cupcakes

The party favorites that say Fillmore's organic oil.

He got a bunch of great gifts and toys from all of the cousins and friends that came. Thanks everyone who was able to make it such a fun night.

We Moved…a few months ago

Brady's parents bought a house with a nice basement apartment a few years ago. The opportunity came available for us to rent the apartment from them and rent out our house. We decided to jump on it!

 

The day we moved I found out that we were pregnant with our second baby! That’s always exciting. I must say I do love living below my in-laws. They have been so helpful with Titan whenever I have a last minuet thing that I need a sitter for. I also love that when we visit Grandma and Papa how easy it is to pack up and go home, or run home when I forget something. I do think it’s really helping Titan’s relationship with his Grandparents and his uncle Carter who might be his favorite.

Disneyland run away!

For Brady’s birthday this year I was feeling a little guilty having not done anything fun. So while I was at work the day before his birthday I decided to plan a spur of the moment trip to his favorite place. Disneyland. I called him and said pack your bags we are going on a trip, don’t ask where or how much I’m going to spend. To my surprise he said ok.

I drove home we booked our hotel, bought our tickets and started the 10 hour drive. I thought about flying but it came out to be twice as much and only get us there a few hours earlier with long layovers.

Titan was a champ on the drive we made it to Anaheim at 11pm.

Then Spend the day in Disneyland!!

Cars land was so cute looked just like the main street in the movie.

We had a hard time getting picture because Titan loves to play with Brady's phone so every time we pulled it out he wanted to play with so we got lots of crying picture and reaching pictures. We will have to bring the real camera from now on.

We then drove home that night. It worked well since Brady works freights he didn’t have much of a problem staying up all night and since I wake up at 4am for work I didn’t have a problem taking over for him once we hit Utah. It was a blast one of those memories I hope I will always remember.

Driving home from a fun trip.

Potty Training

Yep you read right we are potty training Titan. Or as my mom says potty training the mom.

Titan has been very interested in the potty as of late wanting to flush and I would put him on before his bath and he would go. We decided to get him started on it and its been going well.

We went with the incentive program, he loves Cars so that was the main motivator.

The first day I thought it was an awful idea but ever since he has been pretty good. With a small amount of luck we will have him done by the time the baby gets here in January.

Easter Fun

Well let the post about Easter begin.

Titan loved Easter he got the idea of

• Picking up the egg
• Putting it in the basket
• Running to the next egg

He does love to clean up the toys at home so I’m sure it has something to do with that.

Here he is with his basket and new Easter outfit from Grandma Summers. We didn’t match the basket and cloths on purpose.

We also got to do Easter at Grandma Perkins house. Uncle Sam bought chick and that made it fun.

If we are lucky we will do Easter egg hunt at Grandma Summers tomorrow.

I think he is to young to understand the true meaning of Easter, maybe next year.
