24 weeks down... so much more fun to go

So we have been slackers again and should probably post more often than once every 4 weeks. But we have had a lot of fun the last 4 weeks and have been busy doing a lot of the same and some other fun stuff. I am 24 weeks along and am still growing big, but staying busy with the family.

I love this candid picture of Tim and Shlyer reading together! She loves to read!
GO RAMS! Shyler was all set to cheer on her favorite college ram team and she even let me try to do her hair, of course I had to let her play with the bathroom cups. Maybe they haven't been winning because she hasn't been wearing her cheerleading outfit to cheer them on... we'll try next week.

One night after a good day, Tim decided Shyler deserved a real treat before bed so Shyler got oreos! They are her favorite and when she sees a package of them she gets super excited! She is a big fan of licking off the icing!
You can't have oreos without milk! Yum!

Our biggest adventure was taking a trip to Utah! We packed up and took my mom out with us to visit some friends and to get away. We didn't end up going to a session of conference, but we did get to go to the Salt Lake Temple.

It was so nice to be together in the temple and to feel the spirit. It was also great to visit our friends the Jacobsen's. I got a fun girls night with candy and The Hannah Montana movie and trying to learn a dance while Tim went to the BYU vs. Utah State football game. He didn't really care who won, but he had fun with that very, very different college football game experience.


So if you are ever in the American Fork area with kids they have this great place called Kangaroo Zoo. It was so cool it was a giant room full of different bounce castles! Shyler was a little apprehensive at first but then ended up having a great time!

After a fun time with the Jacobsen's we also got to visit Tim's mission companion, Mitch and his wife, Shannon. They were so nice to let us come visit and watch conference with them. Too bad for them they had to watch it with a very energetic toddler. We hope they were able to get a message out of it. On Sat. night when the boys went to the priesthood session us girls went shopping! Don't go to a mall in Salt Lake on the same night as the priesthood session. Craziness!! It was fun and we got some great stuff. Shannon who is expecting their little guy in Nov got some new clothes and I found little our little guy a couple of things.

The drive home was ok. I had to drop Tim off in Rock Springs, WY for a work trip and then drive the rest of the way. Luckily I had my mom with me so help keep Shyler entertained. We busted out the DVD player and that was very helpful. The fact that I was driving wasn't bad, it was the fact that I was driving in rain, sleet, snow, fog... you name it, it fell on us.

Our latest adventure, which might be one of our craziest is that we ran the CSU homecoming race this past weekend. It was 16 degrees with a couple inches of snow on the grass and snowing while we ran!!!!!! We are crazy but we actually had a lot of fun! Thankfully my mom watched Shyler so she didn't have to be subjected to that, but Tim's sister Jeannette, Tim and I all ran the 5k!!! I won't say that we had good times, but we ran the whole time and I like to remember the weather conditions and the fact that I am 5 1/2 months pregnant... can you tell I'm pretty proud of it? Since it was so cold we didn't bring our camera to document it, but we got our shirts and you could find our time and name if you really wanted to know on the website. That is my 4th year in a row running the race and I love our tradition of running this race. I also love our breakfast tradition of Silver Grille's cinnamon roll french toast afterwards... YUMMY!!!!
