The boys are back in town !

After a fun week in Texas they made there way back to Utah. Nathan and Ethan loved being in Texas with everyone. They were so happy they got to spend time with Carvers and Abrahams and Andersons (Carrie fam) of course. I love this picture of Ethan with Grandma & Grandpa Abraham! Ethan for some reason kept getting confused and called Grandpa, Grandma....so for him there were 2 Grandmas, ha ha I'm sure Grandpa loved that ;)














I was curious to see how Nathan would do all on his own with Ethan, I wasn't too worried but I am a mother. They make a great team though. Nathan did come back saying he understands why at the end of the day I am a little tired and ready for Daddy/son time: )











What an exciting week though, thanks to Grandma Abraham organizing everything they had so much fun. They went to 6 flags, which Nathan hasn't done for at least 5 years! He had a lot of fun riding rides with Christy.







Ethan of course loved the big park with all of the commotion going on. He really enjoyed the water spouts that he could walk under and get wet! Here's a couple of cute pics of 6 flags......riding the swing ride with Jackson, riding the train like his favorite "Thomas".




We are so thankful that Ethan has such a fun Grandma that went to so much trouble to have such an adventure filled week for him. He enjoyed swimming, parks, reading, painting and playing the piano. Here's some fun pics :















The boys were also able to hit a Rangers game with the family! GO TEXAS!



And of course we had to include some pictures of the Mustang. Ethan is pretending he's driving here......(and you know secretly Nathan is a little jealous).



Nathan had to re-live childhood memories of riding the old dirt bike. Ethan assumed this was brought out for him to try on ;)

















The boys were able to have FHE with the Carver's & Anderson family. Carrie and Caitlin organized an early birthday party for Ethan. Here's Ethan with Uncle Jeffrey and Aunt Caitlin preparing for the cake...














The Carver cousins just wanted to help E out a little blowing out the car candles : ) It seems Ethan thought he had this under control ha ha I don't know how he felt about that.














Caitling is so creative....she organized this really cute F.H.E. that all of the kids could join in on.....I think Ethan is just studying what he's working with. (that boy is always studying and trying to figure everything out, the meaning behind things.)















Here's a couple of other cute pics with Uncle J and Ethan and Addalynn (Chris's little girl). I've had a few people tell me that those two cousins could pass as brother and sister, what do you think? People always thought my brother Chris and I were twins when we were little (we're only 15 months apart) it's funny we always have people tell us that our kids look alike. I wonder what our little girl will look like.......I guess we have about 3 1/2 months to find out.....we'll see.

Silly Ethan

Ethan knows how to count- 1, 2, 3, but he loves the number 2, as you can see. Also he is so excited when I taped this.....he yells out, "yay, Daddy" I don't know why...ha ha. I guess he was happy and wanted to share with Daddy

The boys trip to Texas...

Ok, ok I finally got it out, our family blog. I've been procrastinating it for so long, but finally. I've been posting small things here and there for a couple of months but didn't tell anyone about the blog. I was waiting for Nathan to make his trip down to Texas. He and Ethan got to go visit the Abrahams & Carvers in Texas. I am a little jealous but mostly happy that we were able to send them home. He's been working so hard and doing school he never gets time for himself, so I'm happy to sacrifice some time with my boys to share with Texas fams. We decided that since they were going back to Texas then we might as well wait til then to make "our announcement"......

Any guesses???? We're having another baby! Yay! We're having a little girl!!!! We are both so excited! I found out back in March right after I saw my family at conference. It's funny b/c my little bro. Jeffrey and sis Caitlin kept asking me when they should prepare for another niece or nephew. Well it's funny b/c when I did see them I guess I was pregnant already and didn't know it, ha. So I found out and kept it quiet for a little bit b/c our anniversary was coming up and wanted to tell Nathan then. So on the morning of our anniversary I had to play a little game with Nathan......of course. He's always playing little games with me when he gives me presents or on anniversaries or birthdays so of course I have to get back at him. So that morning I make him go on this long scavenger hunt of popping balloons, (which Ethan loved helping him with) each having a little message in them giving him hints on his present. Finally he got to the last one and it told him to open his card. So he opened the card and it said I love you, congratulations you're going to be a new daddy again! Ha ha, it was so much fun for me and in the end I think he had fun too (we both know Ethan did).

We keep trying to tell Ethan there's a baby in mommies tummy and I think he understands somethings going on. If I ask him where's mommies baby he'll pat my tummy, he's so cute!
So there you go another Abraham baby!! My due date is December 20 and as a bonus without either family knowing ( when they decided ) both families are coming to Utah for Christmas!!!!! We get to welcome our little girl here with lots of family! We are so excited!!!
It's funny last year we went camping in Colorado with Jamie, Jared & Jackson, we talked about how fun it would be to have kids at the same time, mostly Jamie and I doing the talking......it ended up happening anyway! Congratulations to Grandma & Grandpa Abraham and Nana & Papa Carver on your new little Grandaughter!!! We love you!!!!!

Father/Son time

Nathan is always so busy with the bank and school. One weekend we decided to get away and go for a little drive. We went up to Huntsville. We would LOVE to live there. It's a beautiful little town away from all the busy life of Orem/Provo (college towns). It's a perfect set up for Nathan, he could have his little house for his family and then some land! That's all Nathan would ask for in a "dream home". He doesn't really care what the house looks like as much..... he just wants some land for his kids to go exploring. I think it's cute and fun....I support his wishes, as long as we don't have to deal with lots of "critters" (not going to happen I know).We would love to move there someday.....but it is really expensive so we'll just keep it a dream for now. Here's some fun pictures of Nathan & Ethan playing at the playground.



This is also the week when Nana was in town so there's a couple with her too. Ethan loved having his Nana here. She taught him the "Hello" song (primary). She also taught him some dancing numbers from her play of "My Fair Lady" (her and Caitlin's broadway debut). I was amazed at how Ethan picked up on them so quickly. She taught him a little dance and some hand motions that go with it.




He surprises me all the time on how quick he picks things up. I think he has a real ear for music, but that could just be a hopeful mom. I always catch him leading music with his hands if he can hear any and dancing around, since he was little. It might just be a phase and all toddlers do it, but I'll take what I can get!
