{Home Sweet Home}...and the pumpkin patch!!

WE BOUGHT LAND: TAKE 3!!

We officially 100% own land!! We signed and paid for it last Tuesday!! Everything happens for a reason right??? Well, after the 2nd time not going through due to some 17 ft belonging to someone from the 1800's we ended up looking elsewhere....actually just a couple miles up the road and came across this piece of land!!! We fell in love with it!! It's 2 acres and is very secluded and peaceful!! Austin loves the area because there are deer tracks all over our yard!! It's still located in Labelle (a very very small area) which we love so we couldn't be happier. We hope to get started on it and have the hole dug by Friday(once we get our permits) which leaves us approx. 8 weeks to complete it! So it should be quite the experience! I can hardly wait!! We are planning on staying here for awhile!!!! I promise!!!!! :)

And yesterday we took the kiddos to a Pumpkin Patch. The kids had a lot of fun!!

And on our way home we saw this truck used to transport Hay....I got a kick out of it!!

{Feelin' A Little Fishy and 7 MONTHS!!}

Feeling a Little Fishy?? Austin went up

to Henry's Lake and Ashton Reservoir fishing

on the boat on Saturday and caught 4 fish alone!!

Him and the guys had great Luck and fun!!

I guess we'll be eating fish for the next week or so!!

And my really great friend Noelle showed me how to

make this beautiful nursing cover this morning!! I Love it!!

And I love learning how to use my sewing machine

so I can make these fun projects!!

And Today marks 28 weeks or 7 Months!!!

It has gone by so fast this time around! Let's

just hope he decides to stay in as long

as possible until we get moved into our new house!!

We should be signing papers today or tomorrow on

a new piece of land(fingers crossed!!)!

{It's OFFICIAL!!!........}

*I am officially a MOM! I am the proud new owner of a mommy-van!!!(Austin's still in shock:)) We really wanted a GMC Acadia but I couldn't bring myself to spend that much money. I ended up finding this off of the BYU-I bulletin board for a stinkin' good deal! It's a Dodge Grand Caravan and is totally loaded with leather, heated seats, power everything including doors and trunk, sunroof, 6 dvd and cd player, stow and go seating, only 51k mi, all kinds of controls, and more!! We love it!!

Brayden's new carseat we got for FREE from our police station!!

*WE NO LONGER OWN LAND! (Boo Hoo! It's been a nightmare, and on top of that only 12

weeks to go until we meet our little baby and we're still renting!)

{We Bought Land: Take 2 & A Week Of Many First's}

It's TRUE!! We bought land again!! Here's the short version of a Loooong stressful story: So as many of you know we sold our last house back in April/May of this year. We then bought 3 acres out in the Milo area(so we thought). We bought it from a guy whom we thought we trusted and put a well on it.That's when an old Farmer called and said, "Thanks for the well on my farm". Come to find out the guy we thought owned the land really didn't, but he wanted to buy it from the old farmer and needed more $. So needless to say, between our lawyer, the middle guy's lawyer, and the old farmer's lawyer...it was pretty bad. On top of that the guy we paid for the land SPENT our money and didn't have it. Well, in the midst of all of this the old farmer passes away(drowns) and we have no land or money. The outcome is that the guy who took our money is working it off through Austin and we're still renting(not a fave)..............

But just this week we bought more land..........................HERE!!!

It's just an acre and a half but peaceful and it feels right!!

We hope to be in it and finished before Christmas and the baby comes!!

And this week we had some fun and it was FULL of a week

{Enjoying what's left of summer and 24+ weeks!!}

Because it's starting to get A LOT cooler, we decided

to make one last trip up to Island Park for the summer time

part of the year to go 4 wheeling and boating with the kids.

We had a blast!!

Brayden wasn't too sure about taking his picture...he

was more focused on why his chocalate snack melted in his hands. :)

A new and improved way to eat a sucker!!

A little knee-boarding action

Grandpa let Kaydree take control of the boat...we loved doing donuts!!

And yet another project of mine for $4!!!

And you're all going to have to bear with me here. I'm having

a little too much fun documenting "the baby bump" of our little boy.
