A glimpse of our first year together

Happiness- the word for our year!

Couldn't be happier to be married for One Year already! I love you!

Halloween!

Halloween was spent at the Booth's home with great food and conversation. We did "Reverse Halloween" for the kids' friends/teachers in the neighborhood. You make goodies and deliver them -giving instead of receiving!

Andrew and I rolled out the sugar cookies and made tons of pumpkins and ghosts for decorating! Andrew has natural cookie cutting skills!

Tyson and I had fun making on our cookies (we each ate one!-delicious!)

Caleb, our nephew was our entertainment for the night. He loved this head massage tool and would make the funniest faces if you did it to him. We caught some on video!

Pumpkins and Fall

Everything pumpkin! It started with pumpkin chocolate chip bread. Then that led to Pumpkin waffles, and there is my all time favorite pumpkin roll that is due to enter my belly any day now. I love it! Last night as I was leaving work the air was still and there was a slight chill. Yup, that says it all right there. Fall. And how I missed you! I love opening the door in the morning and feeling the very cool air!

Now the fact that fall apparently lasts only 2 weeks in grovery stores and that now all I see when I go there is Christmas is still a little strange. But it's has me thinking of all the wonderful baking, cooking and decorating that makes this season so much fun.

Last night, Tys and I enjoyed our first cups of Stephen's Mint Truffle Hot Chocolate. Yes- I bought my cans early this year. We all know what happens when you finish off your first can in mid December (memory from 2009). Sold out! Everywhere! So I am trying to be like the boy scouts. Always be prepared, with an extra can of hot chocolate that is.

In other news, Tyson finished mid-terms! Yay! But now has the worst cold ever (this is his body's attempt at trying to recover from all the stress and lack of sleep during the past two weeks.) And this guy never gets sick. Sad day. But he is heavily medicated on DayQuil/Nyquil and those amazing throat lozenges that taste like candy (sugar free of course!) Better days to come!

The doctor's good report!

I always look forward to my monthly ( bi-monthly soon!) OBGYN appointments. I get a good check up of our baby's health and my health. And what more could you ask for then healthy news all around!?!

Our lil' guy is growing at a great rate with healthy ultrasound reports and a great heart beat!

He's moving and kicking all the time and I am feeling him more and more (and he's kicking harder and harder!)

My doctor told me I am doing excellent in the weight category. Gaining an appropriate amount and not too quickly. She was really impressed with that and my very very low blood pressure. Today it was 100/60. Great!

It makes me feel so good that my efforts to try to stay fit and healthy for our baby and me are working! I told Tyson in the beginning that I really wanted to watch my health during this pregnancy and I hope that everything will turn out to be great in the end!

22 weeks and doing very well!

Our almost One Year celebration

Can you believe that in 3 weeks we will celebrate our official One Year anniversary!
So we decided to celebrate a little early in this beautiful place...

Laguna Beach ...it's where we took a slice from the top tier from our Wedding Cake to eat!


and loved every bite! (Bavarian Cream and Strawberries with Buttercream frosting!)
We had the best wedding cake! And our baker remade the top tier of our wedding cake FREE for us to celebrate our 1st year anniversary. We asked to pick it up a few weeks early because we won't be in California on the official date. We loved celebrating a couple of weeks early!

Like a Kid in a Candy Store

We took a little walk down the boardwalk in Laguna Beach on Saturday night for fun! I introduced Tyson to the Candy Baron which sells salt water taffy in a billion different flavors and so many other candies were featured there as well! They all just burst out of the wood barrels! We picked up a few pieces of taffy and headed on our way. We had to get away fast because everything looked so good~
