Cookie Night

Last night we had a cookie party.

Chelsea, I and our super cute kiddos :) made some sugar cookies and for the first time tried Royal Icing. They turned out yummy!!! The kids loved rolling out the dough and cutting out the pumpkins. We had so much fun!!!!!

Pumpkin Carving

On Saturday October 23 we had our annual Bingham Pumpkin Carving. We headed down to the Rasmussen Farm in Draper and picked out the perfect pumpkins to carve. It was a rainy day and super cold. I loved it because we were all bundled up in our snuggly warm clothes. We went back to my parents house and had my mom's homemade chili over fritos (Halloween tradition in my family) it was extra yummy. We then ate halloween donuts and then carved the pumpkins. Austin's turned out super spooky, Brody's is super cute and mine is definetly the best. ;) Just Kidding, but really isn't my kitty cute. haha Brody LOVED the gooey insides of the pumpkin and helped Austin and I get it all out of our pumpkins, and put some back in. He is quite the helper. We had such a fun time, like we always do. Halloween is my favorite time of year and I love doing family traditions to make this time of year extra fun.

Disneyland

We went to California with my family at the beginning of October. We took the kiddos to Disneyland and California Adventure Park for 4 days. We all LOVED it!!!

The whole place was decorated for Halloween and all the characters were in costume.

We are on the tram ride from the parking lot to the park.
It rained the first 2 days we were there but it was still really fun.

The decorations everywhere were so stinkin cute.

Tryin to break out of the jail in toon town.

A for Allred yea yea yea!!!

My very Favorite picture!!!

Brody loves Goofy, he got so excited everytime we saw him. Goofy leaned over to say hi and Brody grabbed his nose and kissed him. SOO CUTE!!!

Brody loved the carousel, good thing Poppy doesn't get sick,

Austin and I couldn't take him we both have motion sickness so bad.

We went down to the beach one day and they had this cute playset there.

Brody loved the swings.

Austin and Brody were so cute together playing in the sand.

They would do these cute street performances and really fun music, this one was high school musical and Brody danced away and kept clapping his hands. He loves music and gets so excited to see people dancing.

Monsters Inc was one of his favorite rides.

Everything at Disneyland is magical, Brody loved it all.

We can't wait to go back when he gets a little older and take him and Brooklynn.

FALL is here

My all time FAVORITE time of year is here!!!

Their is something magical about the fall to me, I love the crispness in the air and the colorful leafs. Austin took Brody and I for a drive up the Alpine loop on Saturday. It was beautiful!!!!

We looped all the way down to Sundance and took the tram up to the top of the mountain. Brody loved the fresh air and watching all the mountain bikers come down the trails. We got up to the top and hiked over to where Austin proposed to me.

Here Brody and I are sitting right where Austin proposed to me. It was fun going back and seeing it. Fun memories!!! It is crazy how fast time goes, 6 years later and we are with our little man and prego with a 2nd baby.

Under that Aspen Grove is where it happened! :)

We got a picture of us right under this sign after we got engaged. We had to get one with our little man too!!!

After we had a walk down memory lane, we headed back down the tram and had a picnic under the trees.

It really was the best day with my little family!! Love you both so very much!

Hogle Zoo

On Saturday September 4 we took our little man to the Zoo to check out all the animals. Austin and I hadn't been to the zoo since we were dating so it was fun to go back now that we have a child to share the excitement with. Brody loved all the monkeys and especially liked the giraffes, he has one in his room that he likes to wave and say hi to every morning, I think he recognized it was the same, he kept waving at them and looking at me smiling. Majority of the animals were sleeping or they could have been dead we weren't quite sure. Poor things are so bored in their 10x10 cages. They have built more and changed alot of the areas since we have been there. It looks really nice.

We had so much fun with Brody! He makes everything extra special.
