Weekend Halloween Festivities!

No Comments »

It is so good to be home and enjoy this amazing fall weather. Like i said fall. From what i am hearing it is supposed to snow tomorrow and we definitely are not fans of that business so me and McCoy will be making our way back to California and dad will send money. JOKE. I only semi wish, i'm not prepared for the snow. 

Since the snow will soon be upon us we took extra efforts this weekend to enjoy the nice weather outside with the family. We did some fun Halloween activities and got to see old friends and of course hang out with our awesome family. 

Here are some of the pictures we got to capture all of the fun!

Grandma and Grandpa Sned joined in on the fun for McCoy's first pumpkin patch experience. Because of course he'll remember it ;)


First family fun Halloween picture love it!


We took him to a kid Halloween party that Grandma's friend throws every year. We dressed Mr. up as a pirate, a.k.a put him in a pirate onsie. Ya we aren't full blown into costumes for a 3 month old so shoot us. 


It was such a fun way to spend the weekend with family and start new traditions. We cannot wait until next year and he really starts to enjoy the holiday!


We hope everyone else enjoyed this warm weekend like we did!

Time for an updated again already! I feel like i haven't blogged in forever, maybe because i haven't i really need to keep up on this more!

Age: 3 Months
Stats: 13.0 lbs. (25th percentile), 22 1/2 inches (5th percentile)
Clothes: He is in 0-3 months, 3 months and some 3-6 months. He has massive feet though so his socks are 6 month socks!

That face! My child is pure beauty. Of course i'm biased

Items we are loving: 
  • His jumper! Thanks to our awesome friends the Darling's for letting us borrow theirs. McCoy loves it and mama loves it too. I can put him in it and get some laundry done!
  • Pottery barn swaddle blankets; they are the only blanket that i can wrap him in for a nap time that he wont bust out of so that i dont have to hold him through every nap
  • Our boppy pillow; tummy time essential for the little man who hates tummy time. 
  • Hats, lots and lost of hats in this cold weather

It is seriously so much fun to watch McCoy grow. His little personality keeps shining through more and more each day. He is seriously such a blessing. I love watching him smile and those giggles. Oh me oh my those giggles melt my heart. They can turn any bad day right around.

He has officially found his hands and feet and he is memorized i mean really memorized at their capabilities. He is a pro roller and wants to crawl so bad that he army crawls forward. Super cute. Cant wait for him to start actually crawling!

We're Here!!!

We made it back to Utah!
Oh boy was that the longest trip of my life.

We started packing the truck around 5PM Thursday (9/26) night and didn't finish well into Friday morning and then headed out! With a baby and a tired mama and papa it make for a trip that didn't land us back to SLC until 2 am Saturday (9/28) morning. It was a journey that is for sure!

We are so so happy to be back. But i have to say i really miss California already. Two reasons the weather, man i forgot how cold it is in Utah and I am not a fan right about now and neither is McCoy he needs a whole new wardrobe. Second I miss my nice clean organic grocery store right across the street. The Walmart and smiths here just aren't up to par. Makes me feel snooty haha Other than that everything is great and it is so nice being so close to family and friends.

Best part about being back is this reunion.
