Thanksgiving!!

This Thanksgiving we got to spend it in Auburn!  We had lots of fun with Kyle's family, playing in the Turkey Bowl, cave exploring, shopping, and EATING!!  I LOVE Thanksgiving dinner soooooo much!

Kyle's dads family moved into a really nice house a couple of week ago so we got to spend the night there our first night in town.  The house is so nice, our only problem was Luke.  That kid cannot sleep in the same room as anyone!  He knows we're in there.. so he was asleep for a good four hours when Kyle came into the room after some cave exploring, and Luke woke up and was awake for three hours.. not such a fun night!  

Kyle, his sisters, and some cousins went a found some new caves they've never been to!

The next day was Thanksgiving!  We first went to the Turkey bowl, I didn't get to play this year, and Kyle and everybody had a blast!  Kyle's team didn't win, but we think that they rigged it!

After the game we went to Kyle's grandparents house for some lunch and hanging out.  This was the first time everyone got to meet Soren too!

For dinner we went back to Sara and Ricks and had a delicious meal!!  It's my favorite!!!! I waited very patiently all day for this!

Soren Brett is here!

Soren Brett Sipherd came into this world on October 31... the very day that I did not want him born on. I've gotten used to it now but man I wasn't very happy about it at the time.  Kyle thinks it's awesome and he got everyone who came into the room to tell me the same thing.  So it'll be fun.  The cool thing about it is that Soren's birthday is the same as his great grandma Sipherd, and Luke's birthday is on his great grandma Ginny's birthday.  Luke's birthday is June 13.. I was so mad he was born on the 13th... I was four days overdue and was not a happy camper.  I have gotten over it now.  But having their birthdays on their great grandma's birthdays is pretty cool! Our next baby I am not saying a word.

Anywho Soren was 9 lb 1 oz, and 20.25 inches long, and 5 days overdue..  I was induced that morning at 9:00 and he was born at 7:00 that night.. it was a long day but the nice thing is that I didn't fill hardly any contractions :)  I got my epidural just a couple hours after I was induced so I didn't feel any pain.  I kinda feel like I cheated, but man it was wonderful!  A completely different experience than Luke that's for sure!!  My epidural was awesome.. I could feel pressure but not pain.  It was nice when the time came to push because I could feel when I needed to.  It was an amazing experience to hold him in my arms! He is such a sweet little man, and we just love him soo much!!!

Proud daddy!

Luke was more than excited to meet his little brother!  Luke was so soft and kept giving Soren hugs and kisses.. adorable!

Soren didn't love having Luke's hair in his face.. :)

So happy!!

Utah trip and a little more

I thought I should catch up on the last couple of weeks before my life gets crazier with a brand new baby here soon!  We'll see how I adjust to having a 16 month old and a brand new baby.. I'm already predicting that Luke will not stop trying to touch his brother and that I will not be able to leave either of them alone!  I am over 37 weeks now, and more than ready to not be pregnant anymore.  The end of this pregnancy has been a lot harder on my body than Lukes was! 

Ok time for some catch up... In September Luke, my mom, and I drove back to Utah for one of my dear companions wedding!  My trainer Andrea has found the most wonderful man, and I could not be happier for them!  She deserves all the happiness in the world!  Her wedding was amazing!  I even got to see our wonderful mission mom Sister Swinton in the temple!  It was great catching up with her!  They were sealed in the Logan temple, and their ceremony was so amazing!  I love weddings!

At the luncheon after the wedding

The reception.. unluckily we could only stay for like 10 minutes because a rain storm was a comin! 

It looked so good, and we had a horse ride to the reception because it was pretty far away from the parking lot.  

It was in Logan so we got to stay with Tonya and Bill for a couple of days!  That was wonderful!  

Eating at some bakery I can't think of the name, but they are everywhere! 

The morning of the wedding there was a parade.. made it a pain to get to the temple! But Luke sure loved hanging out with uncle Bill at the parade.

Luke attacking Logan... Loggie was not happy about it

Rare cuddle time.. which is why this picture made it on here

Logan crossing his one eye.. a new trick he learned

So I can't say enough or get enough of my lovely friend, and former mission companion Annie!  She is so talented!  This is the painting she did for my mom and dad of their house in Fallon.. it's sooo amazing! 

She came and met up with us at Temple Square.. another thing I cannot get enough of!

Tonya and Logan

Me and my boy.. boys I should say

Love the Salt Lake Temple

He was soaking after this!

Lounging 

We got to go to Brigham City to see the temple and eat at Maddox... Mmmmm it was soooooo good!

Saying goodbye :(

While I was in Utah Kyle got to go to North Carolina to an ACN convention.  He got to stop by and stay with his trainer from his mission and his family.  This is their adorable baby Ian!

He got to tour the world headquarters.. Lucky

And this is our little family finally reunited! We missed daddy soooo much! 

So after Utah we've been to Fallon and Auburn a couple of times to see everyone before this baby is born!  

Went to pizza to celebrate Kyle's cousin Wyatt's birthday.

These babies made a MESS!!

Kolvin, Ember, and Pooks

After pizza Kyle hung out with his cousins.. this is them a drain under the city.. It was a funny night for these boys for sure!
