Got hairspray?

Since I am SOO behind on my blog and I don't know where to even being, I guess I'll start with this picture that brought a smile to my face today. My good friend Jen did a "hot mama photo shoot" way back in September of a few of us girls. It turned out to be so fun-I was a little apprehensive being 36 weeks but being with friends, some deer and lots of hairspray.. man was I glad I went!!

Halloween

This year Easton for Halloween Easton was Harry Potter, Maycee a punk rocker, Cannon a studly Captain America and Brinklee was a darling Witch(not pictured). Between the ward trunk-or-treat, the elementary family dance and trick-or-treating our neighborhood with the Weirs the kids scored way too much candy. My kids are already planning their costumes for next year!!!

GramZ

We so enjoyed having my mom come. She is wonder woman and really I couldn't have done it without her. With each baby she has come to the rescue to help our family adjust to the newness of a new baby and I am forever indebted to her.


All the kids are in LOVE ( that's a huge understatement!) with Tyton. They want to hold him every chance they get. Knowing Tyton is my last baby I am trying to capture every moment and love on this little guy as much as I can. He has the sweetest nature. He just goes with the flow and doesn't mind being passed back and forth from sibling to sibling.

Some highlights of the two weeks with mom:
*Having the Thordersons (our adorable cousins) come meet baby Tyton
*My dad flying in for a surprise visit. I was taking a nap and in walked my dad! I was so happy I just bawled. It was so good to see him!
* Garden of the Gods
*Going to the Zoo to ride the skyride(our fav!)
*Halloween dance at the elementary school...hilarious!
*Baking Halloween cookies
*Playing Jinx and Sorry (100+times)

He's here!

Tyton David arrived 15 days early weighing in at a whopping 6 lbs. 2 oz and 18 1/4 inches long! He's a little peanut and pretty much just fell out of me with two pushes. We are in LOVE and are so glad he's come to our family. Life with 5 kids is BUSY so when I can get more than 5 mins to write more I will.

35 weeks

T minus 5 weeks. Crossing my fingers and toes he comes in 2 weeks like Brinks did. We are so excited to meet this little guy.

Grandma visit

Grandma TaTa came for a visit and boy did we pack it in. Of course we took her to our favorite place...the zoo! If you know Nate, you know he has an obsession with zoos. He would go everyday, not kidding. Our zoo has an awesome sky ride so half the time we just go to ride up and down the mountain and wave to the animals from up high but seriously he LOVES the zoo!
We went to the park several times, she had some dental work done, celebrated here 64th b-day, took her to beautiful Garden of the Gods, did some Denver shopping and smothered her with lots of hugs and kisses!! We love visitors and can't wait for more!

Nationals

Well-lets just say I am glad we are officially done with AZ dance. When we moved right in the middle of the season we were asked if Maycee could stay on and finish up the season meaning she would have to fly back 2 times in April and attend Nationals in July in Palm Springs. We decided to do it and finish up the season with her darling team. I'm glad we did it but am relieved that we have now officially closed the door to AZ dance. She is now on a team here and making new cute friends here.

Nationals went really well. It's always a party roadtriping with T-momma. We shared a condo for a few days- the girls of course had a blast being together. Lots of dancing and lots of swimming since it was HOT, HOT, HOT!! I have decided I don't miss the heat. Ask me in January when the snow still on the ground and I'm freezing. I know I'll want to head to the sun and warmth! But pregnancy +heat=don't mix very well with this lady!

All of Maycee's dances took platinum and first place. Their adorable hip-hop was asked to stay to compete in the "dance-off" Tuesday morning. They took 2nd-so proud of them! Way to go PDC
