Dylan Maree Hart

Just an FYI for any blog followers.....We had a seet little baby girl on November 22 at around 2:40 in the afternoon. I was scheduled for my C- Section on December 1 but she decided she just couldn't wait. Mom and baby are doing wonderful, but due to some computer problems pictures are still to come. Oh yeah, we named her Dylan Maree.

Favorite time of the year....

Seriously, I love this time of year. The weather is perfect and there are so many fun things to do, especially with the kids. We went with Ammons school on a field trip to a place called Black Island Farms and they had an absolute blast!!! We got to go on a hay ride and go to the pumpkin patch where all the kids got to pick out there own pumpkins. They had baby animals to look at and feed, huge slides to go down, and other rides and places to play. We carved pumpkins, and realized after I threw them out this morning, that I never did get pictures, but the kids had a blast and it has become quite a fun tradition in our family. Halloween was also lots of fun...Ammon had a Halloween party at his school and then we went over to Andrews parents for the traditional hot dogs and chili for dinner. Andrew took the kids trick or treating until it started raining, and I got to enjoy some time to myself at home while passing out candy to the few people who came knocking at our door. Ammon was Fireman Sam, (from PBS kids Sprout) and Abigail was Tinkerbell! Such fun memories.

Date Night!

Thursday night was a rare occasion where Andrew and I got to go on a date! This doesn't happen very often because of Andrews work schedule along with school. Not only was it a blast, but it was an unusual date that not very many can say they have done! For starters we went out to eat at a place called Pats BBQ in Salt Lake City. Sounds fairly normal I know, but it is a very unique place that Andrew just LOVES!!! In order to get there you have to drive passed a burnt down house and then into somewhat of a ghetto and the building looks like an old auto body garage on the outside!


They have picnic tables to sit on, inside and out. Nothing formal by any means. You eat off paper plates, using plastic utensils, and have paper towels as napkins.

This is where you go if you would like a drink of water with your meal. AWESOME!!!

Then after dinner, we attended an exhibit called Body Worlds.... let the pictures explain....






Yes those are real cadavers, and the exhibit existed of multiple and also actual body parts that you could see. I loved it and it was an experience, and date night, that I will never forget!!!

First Day of School!

Ammon has been so excited to start school again since I went and registered him back in July! He has the same teacher this year which is a REALLY good thing. He is attending the Terrace School of Music, and so along with their academic curriculum, they also incorporate music into most of their teaching as well. He will get to get acquainted with all sorts of musical instruments, get to use their computers, and learn new songs that go with what they are learning each couple of weeks! He is LOVING it and it gives me some time to just be with Abbey. I love this time of year.

Our Baby!

A little over a week ago, I got to go to my doctor and have my 3D ultrasound of the baby! I am getting so excited so I thought we could share with everyone.



The baby,(gender still unknown) actually has the same nose as Ammon.



At my appointment today the baby weighs approximately 1 1/2 pounds and my official due date is still the first part of December.

Memories

I thought this would be fun since everyone else is doing it.....

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

What we've been up to....

Well, I figure I am doing pretty good if I post once a month! I hope friends don't give up on checking in on what we've been up to. We have had such a good summer so far. It has been fun to spend literally ALL day outside and the kids never run out of things to do. We have been busy riding bikes and trucks, swimming, going to the park and Andrew and I have been busy with our yard and garden, which is doing very well!. For the 3rd of July, we went and had a BBQ with my family and then went and watched the Utah State fireworks. And then on the 4th we spent it with Andrew's family with a BBQ, swimming and our own fireworks. Things sure are a lot more fun with kids around! Enjoy a few pics of some of these things.
