Sunday Blogging

Since I still haven't gotten into the habit of updating the good ol' blog, I'm starting a new routine of writing a new update every Sunday. Here it goes :) Today is Teagen's 4th birthday. I am in disbelief that time has seriously flown by so fast. He is such a big boy now and definitely has the attitude to back it up. We had a little party for him yesterday  and his friends Aly and Luke joined us. Teagie Loves, Loves, Loves the game Plants vs. Zombies so that was the theme. The three kids had fun doing a monster egg hunt, hitting the piñata, and eating zombie cake. Brooks did good sleeping through most of the party.

More Sayings From a 3 Year Old

1. While wrestling with Grandpa Ford, told his cousin Siena: "Stand back princess, I got this".

2. In the middle of Target..."Look, you have nipples!!!" Sooooo embarrassing.

3. The day after St. Patrick's Day: "Have all of the lepers gone home?" (FYI lepers is how he says leprechauns)

4. "I sure hope the baby guy brings me a baby boy!"

It's a Boy, It's a Boy!!

During the ultrasound, Teagen kept telling the technician that all he wanted was a boy, a baby brother. When she announced it was indeed a boy, he kept shouting "I got my boy!!!" We are so excited for our little one to arrive. I know I might be seriously out numbered now but at least they will all have fun together and teach me some good lessons on how to be more spirited and energetic like a true Ford boy. Only 17 more weeks to go!

Lots & Lots of Odd Goings On

Since I have not updated the blog in forever, I have a ton to catch up on! In the words of Ned McDodd from Horton Hears A Who, "There are a lot of odd goings on in whoville". These all happen to be good goings on. Soooooo...... Dustin and I are expecting baby #2 on July 17th. I am currently 16 weeks pregnant and we are so excited to be able to find out if it's a boy or girl soon. (I'm really hoping for a girl but will love, love, love either no matter what). 

The other big news is Dustin got a job with the NRCS as a soil conservationist and will start work the end of Feb. We will be moving to the Boise area which is exactly where we were hoping to end up. Right now Teagen and I are staying with grandma and grandpa Ford while Dustin finishes work and school in Fargo. Teagie is having a blast helping both of them and staying busy busy busy with various fun farm things. Yesterday he really enjoyed helping grandpa haul and load wood and work on the four wheeler. 

We are hoping we can find our home soon and that our move will go smoothly. So far so good and we are so thankful for the many wonderful blessings that have come our way. I am missing my Fargo friends and ward greatly and hoping that we will meet nice people at our new home. It might be a tough transition considering we were so spoiled by such good people in Fargo. 

Just can't wait for our new adventure! 

Funny Sayings of a 3 Year Old

1. While trying to get me to hurry so that we could go to the library: "Hurry up you old woman".

2. "Oooh, that's sooky!"- How he says spooky. He loved all of the cobwebs we put up for Halloween and kept running to each spot to say that line.

3. While watching How to Train Your Dragon, "Why does that dragon shoot water? Is it to make hot chocolate?"

4. After playing with his friend Margo- "I had fun with Margo today. But I miss my friend Harper. Ugh, why does she have to be cool and go to preschool?" :)

Where did the fall go to?

I am once again catching up. I was just talking to Dustin this morning about how crazy it is that he only has 4 more weeks of school left. It feels like it should still be September and just starting the new semester. I guess we really are getting old now that time is flying. 

Teagie's 3rd B-day. Can't believe my little guy is getting so big.
We had a fun time going to Playplace with friends and having cupcakes. 

The sleeping dragon for Halloween. He got so tired just getting excited to go trick or treating. 

Playing bingo at the church trunk or treat. Daddy was the
handsome knight while mommy was a princess.

49er Fever

Fall has brought the football season in full swing and we were lucky enough to be able to go to the 49er  -Vikings game for Dustin's b-day. Teagen was so excited to be able to go and was pumped up for weeks before. It was sad that the niners lost but we still had fun.

Crazy that he could fall asleep during the game. It was so loud!

Glad we got to go with friends Drew & McKenzie and Aaron & Jenny, even if A & J tried to get T to cheer for the wrong team :)
