So our little guy is now two years old! We threw Reed a birthday party and invited family over for cake and ice cream. Reed loved all of his presents and enjoyed every bite of cake. Of course his cousins had to join in and help Reed eat his cake. It was a perfect night and we want to thank everyone who came and made it special for Reed.
So we decided we needed a vacation after all of the holiday rush. I don't know if you could call this a vacation. It was more like a quick get-a-way. Reed stayed with grandma and grandpa while Brett and I, along with Nate and Chelsey, drove to Mesquite for the weekend. Our main purpose was for the boys to go golfing and while us girls go shopping and visit the spa. Well, the golf game didn't go as well for the boys, but our day at the spa was heaven! Being seven months pregnant I was a little hesitant about the full body massage but with some pillow accommodations it was perfect. The only time we took pictures this weekend was when Chelsey and I were at the spa so I unfortunately have no pictures of the guys, sorry.
I am apoligizing right now for my lack of blogging efforts. I'll try to be better with our updates. Since the last time I posted a lot has happened. We had a great Christmas and I think Reed really enjoyed all of his presents. In fact, I think we might have gone a little overboard. Luckily his birthday is in January so we saved any unopened presents until then.
I still don't know if I've figured this blogging thing out yet. Thanks to Shauna, I have a cute background to look at.
Things are going well for us. I am 23 weeks pregnant and we found out a month or two ago that we are having another boy. I will definately be out numbered: Boys - 3 & Girls - 1. I'm just hoping I will have a little girl someday down the road. Brett is thrilled with the idea of another son. He's had so much fun with Reed and can't wait for another little hunting buddy. I'm just hoping my sons won't be used as bait for any of these upcoming hunts Brett has planned for them.
I am still teaching 4th grade in Brigham and I have loved it. This pregnancy couldn't have come at a better time. I'll be able to teach up until the last two months of school and then I'll be done for this school year. Who knows what the future holds for next year.
Reed is definately keeping himself busy. He has loved everything about Christmas: the lights, the presents, decorating the tree, candy canes, the snow, Christmas music, and all the traditions. We have yet to visit Santa this year and I'm curious how it will work out. Last year he was scared to death of him. Hopefully Reed can warm up to Santa this year. We are also very excited for the celebration of Reed's 2nd birthday coming up in January.
Similar to Reed, Brett too has managed to keep himself busy this winter. I thought the hunting seasons were all coming to an end until Brett informed me he was going to become a trapper this year. He's been hoping to trap a couple of bobcats or coyotes but so far all Brett's caught has been his fair share of skunks.This "blogging" stuff is definitely very new to me. I might have to recruit the help from my dear friend Kami Jo. Once I figure this all out I'll write about more important things. Until then...
