♥ LOVE ♥

This little boy melts my heart. Last night I was telling him goodnight and tucking him in, and I said, "I love you"... and he said right back, " Ub you mama". That was worth more than anything in the world!

Crazy Month!

The month of Oct. has been so CRAZY! I guess that being said, I am glad because one more month of my pregnancy down! We had so much fun this month celebrating Crue's birthday and doing all the other fun things you do in Oct. (We also went to Boo at the Zoo with Brad, Laurel and the Bug, but I forgot my camera... so check out Laurel's blog for pics).

Here are some pictures of the pumpkin patch.. This year the pumpkins were crappy but Crue had a lot of fun and always wanted to be wherever his dad was!

Now for the pumpkins after we bought them... Yes the pumpkins are hand painted --- not decals. Brian and I have been painting pumpkins for the past 6 years and we love it. He is the artist, so I just help block everything in and he makes them look all fancy with lots of details. Here are a few that we did this year. Nothing scary anymore --- they are all for Crue! He also sculpted one (a new attempt) that I think turned out really good.

Then came Halloween... Crue was the cutest cowboy EVER. Brian even dressed up with him. I made him some chaps and we borrowed some boots (thanks Hailey), and got him a hat and the rest was easy... He LOVES hats so this was a great costume for him, and he loved galloping around, especially for the candy! He wouldn't wear his guns that we got him---stubborn kid, but he wore everything else! What a fun Halloween... I loved that he could understand more this year. Especially going trick-or-treating with his older cousins. He had no problem keeping up. It

was really cute.

Okay -- this one is for everyone that has been asking me for pics of my belly... This was on Halloween at 31 weeks... 8 weeks to go since my doc will take me a week early! Time should fly by now with Thanksgiving and Christmas just around the corner. I will be a mom of TWO sooner than I am ready for. But we are so excited for this little girl to come into our family. We can't wait!

Crue is 2!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CRUE!

I can't believe my baby is 2! We celebrated early and had a little party with family on Sun.... It was cute and Crue had so much fun! I love this boy so much my heart hurts sometimes. Here are some pictures of the cake and cupcakes, and some of him with his presents.

Motorcycles are Crue's favorite! Go figure. He opened this one first and couldn't put it down for the rest of the night. Thanks for all the gifts everyone. It's been like Christmas at our house. He loves them all!

Happy Birthday Bud! We love you so much!

IT'S A.....

baby GIRL!!!!

I had my official ultrasound today and we found out for sure that we are having a little girl. My doctor did an ultrasound at 16 weeks and was pretty sure that was what we were having, but he was wrong with Crue, so I was hesitant to take his word for sure until we had the ultrasound tech check it out... I know that Brian was secretly hoping that the doc was wrong again and the tech would tell us we were having another boy, but no such luck this time. It's a girl and I couldn't be happier! It's so nice to know that we will have one of each because now the pressure is off. We feel truly blessed that we are able to have kids and can't wait to meet the little one. Here are some pictures from the ultrasound. I know you can't really tell what they are, but here are some of her first pics!

Where to Start??

I have been a horrible blogger this summer so I decided it's time to get up to speed and post what we have been up to. It's been a crazy summer that has come and gone too fast! We found out in May that we are expecting our 2nd baby!! Most of you know that I am pregnant, but for those of you who don't, we are having another baby.... my due date is Jan 6th, but my wonderful doctor assured me that he would take me before the end of the year, so we are hoping for a late Dec. baby!
We have gone to Fish Lake twice and Bear Lake twice this summer, both places we love for two very different reasons. I am a fishergirl at heart, and Fish Lake has a big piece of my soul. My family has spent many many summer's their even since my dad was a little boy. And Bear Lake is Brian's family tradition and they have been going their as long as they can remember. So, we have the best of both worlds (for me at least--- Brian is learning to like fishing) and we get to fish and ski/wakeboard on two of the most beautiful lakes in Utah. Other than that we have been up to the other usual summer things. Hanging out at my mom's pool, Lagoon and Family Reunion's. Crue definitely makes things more fun and interesting. I love the age he is at and all the fun things he is doing and exploring. I love being a mom especially to such a cute little guy! I hope to keep you all updated better now that life seems to be slowing down for a little while :)

Bear Lake 2009

We had such a blast at Bear Lake this year. The kids had so much fun getting dirty everyday and playing outside till the sun went down! I love that Crue and Sienna are so close... They kept us all entertained!

Crue and Sienna LOVE their 4wheeler's, but riding together is much better! They are best friends... too bad they can't get married!

It was Raspberry Days while we were up at Bear Lake, so Laurel and I took the kids to the parade... Kinda dinky, but cute. They had fun even though Crue's face doesn't show it :)

Boating and more boating.... we definitely did our share of it, and even the babies got in a few naps!

Fish Lake 2009

Fish Lake was so much fun this year with Crue. He loves everything, so everywhere we go is a big adventure. He loves the outdoors, so this was the perfect place for him. We had a blast with Grandma and Grandpa and all the cousins... He even touched some fish and helped daddy and Grandpa reel them in! We can't wait for next year.

Fishing on Grandpa's boat. The look on my dad's face tells it all... he loves Fish Lake!

We spent the afternoon down at Twin Creeks and took lots of cute pictures and had fun exploring. My boy loves the outdoors.

We love Fish Lake!

*WARNING*

Tons of post's below. I have been a huge blog slacker... Enjoy :)

The Park

We went to Barnes park with Brad, Laurel and Sienna for a picnic last Fri night... The kids have so much fun together and are really more like brother and sister than cousins. They love eachother so much and the pictures show it. I love that they have eachother... Poor Laurel, Crue keeps teaching Sienna bad things though. My boy is a terror! Oh yeah, I almost forgot... at the end of the night Laurel and I got POOPED on by the biggest bird ever! Mostly me, but check Laurel's blog for proof. She took a picture of my back that was completley covered! YUCK

Will you marry me??

Sienna is such a good sharer!

Feeding the ducks.

Thanks for the fun night guys!

The ZOO...

Laurel and I took Crue and Sienna to the Hogle Zoo. And it was so much fun. The kids are at the perfect age, they loved the animals and making all the sounds. Such cute kids :)

Penguins are so STINKY!

Mr. Lemon... cutest thing ever. Would have taken him home if I could have.

Getting ready for the train

Choo-choo!

Brian's Birthday = Motocross!

Brian turned 29 this year on April 5th, and all he wanted was to go to Supercross... I think it really made his whole year, especially since I would go with him. He loves to ride more than anything and seeing all his favorite riders was the highlight of his year. Although it was FREEZING cold we had a blast! Thanks to Brad and Laurel, and Jeff and Tiff for going with us. Can't wait for next year.

Easter 2009

We had a great Easter... Lots of fun and lots of Candy! Crue LOVES candy. Like mother, like son. He is definitely a Harris that way.

Easter Egg Hunt with my mom's street and his cousins

Crue and Jake.. best buds!

Easter Morning.. He was so confused.. I had actually laid candy out for him and in was OKAY to eat it? He just didn't get it! After he knew it was okay, there was NO stopping him..

Two hands.. he couldn't get it in fast enough :)

Easter dinner with the Holje's and another egg hunt with Sienna.
