My 2 year old boy!

Will turned the big 2 years old on the 11th. On the 9th we had both sets of William's grandparents over. He got plenty of books and noisy toys (the best kind, right?).

I attempted to make a Mickey Mouse cake. At least Will recognized it when he saw it!

He sure loved being the center of attention. As you can see, he really liked the books he got. He HAD to hold it in his hand as we sang to him!

And it's not a birthday unless he gets to be a messy boy eating his cake! He had a great time!
On his actual birthday, we went swimming and made mickey mouse pancakes for dinner (what else?). We love our little 2 year old and are knocking on wood because it doesn't feel like he's hit his "terrible two" stage yet!

Natalie's Personal Triathlon

Since my 6 week check-up after having Gabby, I've been training for the Orem Fitness Center Triathlon. As with most people, our finances are a little tight so I decided to set up my own triathlon around Lehi Legacy Center. It's a 3 mile run, 13 mile bike, and 350 meter swim. I felt good about it and managed to avoid being bit by a dog and getting run over ;D My time was 1 hour 35 min.


I'm still smiling when done. Whew!

Just the Two of Us

I thought I would do a post on the good pals Will and Gabby are! We couldn't ask for a better big brother to Gabby than Will is! He'll lay down beside her and show her something or just talk gibberish. You gotta love the bathtime together too!

Gabby is finally big enough to go in the stroller/trailer. They had a ball when Benj and I went jogging. Will was so good to hold her hand sometimes!

Will is showing Gabby the good toys to play with. As you can see, he's holding her hand again! So cute!

Halloween was a blast! We visited both of the kids' grandparents and ate way to much sugar but that's what Halloween is all about right? Here's Will with his pal Tyler and then Gabby with her gal, Kacie!

The whole clan! Benj was a cowboy and I was a cowgirl, Will was a fisherman and Gabby was our little ladybug!
