Update On Chaos!!!!

Well it has definitely been a while since my last blog. Things have been so crazy lately! We just returned from Boise yesterday. My older brother Jess got married to his love Lyndsey on September 26th. It was a small wedding with family and friends. It took place in my parents back yard and turned out beautiful! We are also moving in October to Rupert. Paul got a promotion and we are buying our first home. We are supposed to close on the house on the 12th. Lets hope everything goes to plan!! Also on October 13th I am being induced and we will soon meet our little girl. It has been complete chaos. I am working on packing and cleaning our apt right now and when we close on the house we are repainting it and putting in new flooring. AHHH!! So that is the update right now. Many other things have happened in the previous months, but those are another blog-coming soon.

PICTURES ALSO COMING SOON!

4D pics of baby girl!

We had our 4D ultrasound yesterday at 32 weeks and thought I'd post some pics of her.

Willey Family Camping Trip

We started a new tradition this year, the Willey family camping trip! YEAH. We will start doing it once a year and we will all take turns planning it. This year I planned it and in mid July we went to Anderson Ranch Reservoir. It was tons of fun and it is the first camping trip we have taken as a whole family in many many years (since I was a child). It was a great experience!! I will go into more detail later, but for now enjoy the many photos!!

First Hair Cut!!

That's right, Maddox got his first hair cut. It was so hard for me to cut off those beautiful curls and ringlets. Don't worry I saved them. I loved his hair, but I was so tired of him being called a girl. Anywhere we went, even though he was totally dressed like a boy, they would tell me what a beautiful girl I had! And on the fourth of July this old lady said, "oh she is so cute." In which Paul replied, "she is a he." She then said something like, "Guess he needs a hair cut." That was it for me. We gave him the haircut and it turned out really good. I had the hardest time getting him to hold still outside on the patio, so Paul and I finally took him upstairs to the tub so Paul could hold him better. It took a while to finish, but that's okay. I still miss his curls.

Cedar Chest

This is my anniversary, mothers day, and birthday gift. I received this beautiful cedar chest from my husband. I love it!! It means so much to me and will be in our family for many years after we are gone. It is one of the best gifts I have ever received! (On the top it say our names and the date we got married. It also has the quote "Come grow old with me... the best is yet to be". On one side of the chest is the Idaho Falls temple- where we took our endowments and on the other side is the Salt Lake temple-where we were married. On the front is a wedding picture of Paul and I.)

4th of July

For the 4th of July Paul's sis DC and her family came up from Utah. Paul had to work that day so it wasn't quite as fun! That morning I took Maddox to the parade and Paul's family met us there. Afterwards we went to the park where they had a band playing and free face painting for the kids, free water, free popsicles, and free hot dogs. It was lots of fun and Maddox got a 4th of July washable tattoo since he wouldn't sit still long enough to get his face painted. Maddox loved the band and went right in front where they were playing and started dancing. It was so cute!! Later that evening when Paul was off from work we went with my sis and her fiance to buy fireworks and dinner at the Green T. As soon as we were done with that we made our way up to Highland to watch the fairground fireworks. We then went to Paul's parent's home and lit of the little kid fireworks. It was a nice evening.
The next day Paul, Maddox, and I went swimming with Paul and his family at Ross Park. It was tons of fun and Maddox loved it. It turned out to be a great weekend.
(The pics I got of the 4th are on my phone because I forgot the camera, but I haven't downloaded them so you only get to see pics of the swim day)
