I have a cousin who plays football for Snow College and I thought it would be fun to go watch him play; so I found a babysitter and went with my grandma and aunt to see him. It was way fun! They do a chant called the Haka before the game so I have some pics of that. I thought it was pretty cool. Also my uncle Craig enters everyone’s name in the drawings for halftime giveaway stuff and this time he was finally the one to get his name pulled. It was pretty funny because he used to play for Snow and for his giveaway he had to kick. Well he got up there and the ball rolled about ten yards in front of him. It was HILARIOUS!!! As we were watching the game we decided that it would be fun to get all of my sister's and my mom to come watch the game too. So we set up a day that most of us could make it. It was so fun to be there with everyone and see my mom, aunt and grandma play football with the kids at halftime. I just love my family! The kids thought it was so cool to talk to the football guy (my cousin) after the game. Alyssa was being shy so she looks a little sad in the pictures.

My friends are catching up! People my age are finally old enough to get married! This is my friend Lexi's wedding. I just love this girl so I was beyond excited to hear that she finally found a guy as sweet as her. Her wedding was so cute and relaxed I loved it. I didn't get many pictures though. Congrats Lexi!!!Lexi and DevenCute cake Shay, Lexi and meMe and Shay

Catching up

I have not updated for a while so here is the scoop on what has gone on this summer. I am not writing much because there are too many things to post. This first one is when I was still pregnant and we got to go to my Dad's cabin. There are some cool pics in here. The kids got to make cookies with Grandma Brenda, Tom finally got up on the air chair, my dad who is awsome on the air chair, and some really funny ones of my dad dancing in the water while wearing his dry suit (super funny). Thanks Dad and Brenda for a wonderful time!

Here are a few pictures of just some fun at home. There are some cute ones of Alyssa playing with and holding Cody, swimming at my Dad's pool, Alyssa sleeping (this one is funny) and playing in the irrigation water. We have had a lot of fun this summer!

This is when my sister Nikki and her kids came to Utah from New Jersey to visit. My wonderful Grandma "J" took all of us to the dinosaur Park and the kids had a blast! Also there are pictures of us at my Mom's house for dinner and water fun in the backyard. The kids just love Grandma Margo!

These are the doves Tom and Mark shot this year. Good job boys!

Wisdom teeth. These are pics of me the day after I got my wisdom teeth out on Sept. 11. Yup I got pretty swollen. Oh and thanks Mom for all your help!

Anniversary

August 26th was our three year anniversary. I know its crazy right?! Tom worked all day and had work the next day so I assumed that we would just wait to celebrate. Well Tom is a sweet heart and when he got home that night he took me out to dinner at Maddox! Thanks to Grandma "J" for babysitting on such short notice. It was fun to just have a nice relaxed dinner without any kids. I also just want to say that it has been a crazy but wonderful three years. I don’t think I realized it at first, but I am a very lucky woman to have found such an amazing husband. Yeah he goes hunting and fishing a lot (and I mean A LOT!) but he deserves the break after all he does for us. He has always provided a wonderful and safe home for us, he listens to my crazy emotional fits and he is an amazing father to my now two beautiful children (two of the best things he has given me). He is constantly looking for ways to make our lives a little bit better. He works all day and then comes home to help me with the kids. Another thing I love about him is how determined and passionate he is. If he wants something, he finds a way to get or achieve it. I will never worry that he will not be willing to do whatever it takes to provide for the ones he loves. Our relationship takes work and is in no way perfect, but I would not want to work so hard with anyone other than Tom.

Cody!!!

This is our new baby boy. We named him Cody Thomas McFarland. He arrived at 7:20am on July 20. We were scheduled to enduce that night but he just couldn't wait. I woke up monday morning at 2 am with contractions and he came just five hours later. He was 8 lb. 2 oz. and 21 in. long.
