Happy Thanksgiving!

This Thanksgiving we got to go to the ranch!  We sure missed Raynie and Matt and the kiddos this year!  We had a great time pigging out and hanging out with all the cousins!  We all got there Wednesday night and had fun getting settled in and reminicing with everone before we all went to bed.  We woke up the next morning and got ready for the big feast which turned out amazing!  Friday morning we got up and headed to Flagstaff to watch Wreck It Ralph and did some shopping afterwards.  Saturday we took pictures and the guys had a shot gun shoot and every night we played games like Uno and Hand and Foot. 

Father Christmas even came by to check on the kiddos to remind them Christmas is coming soon and that they needed to be good.  Daley was asleep darn it so Daddy talked to Father Christmas for her.

 

Sorry the pictures are out of order but we set up our Christmas tree in the first week of November.  Christmas is never long enough so we extend it through November.

 

 

It was time to rake up the leaves and Daley had a good time playing in them and helping her Dad!

 

 

 

 

Back to Thanksgiving....the kiddos had a ball jumping on the beds.

 

 

Brooklyn took some awesome family pictures of us on Saturday.  Thank you so much Brook!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We were trying to take kind of a maternity photo here but Daley was a little short in height and in her attention span haha.

 

 

I think everyone was done taking pictures as you can see Denver and Daley were excited to see everyone else pull up for the shot gun shoot!  I feel silly being the only one looking at the camera haha...but I credit my undistracted photo taking skills to growing up taking family pictures with Madison.  Let's just say when the camera was snapping photos you had better be looking at it!

 

We Are Having A Boy!!

We are so excited we are having a boy!  It was a surprise at how early we found out.  We were going in for a routine ultrasound to check my due date and at the time I was only 14 weeks.  Denver and I told the ultrasound tech that if she saw something to let us know.  Well sure enough she saw that it was a little boy and she didn't have to look very long at all!  We were in and out of there in 5 minutes!

 

We decided to name our little guy Denver Case Finch.  We will be calling him Case.  Denver came up with the name when we found out that we were pregnant with Daley but we didn't know if she was a boy or a girl yet.  We were having a hard time figuring out a boy name but one day while we were driving down the road in Thatcher on our way to my parent's house, Denver saw an International Harvester tractor which the common name for those tractors now are called Case.  As we passed the tractor on 1st Street Denver yelled out "Case!"  I was like "Case? What is Case?"  Then he said, "If this baby is a boy we are naming him Case!"  I hadn't really heard of the name except from one of my previous jobs there was a customer with that name and I thought it was pretty cool.  The ladies I worked with and I talked about his name and how cool it was everyonce in a while.  So since we both loved the name...we decided right then in there that our next boy would be called Case.

 

This pregnancy has been really similar to the first pregnancy except I wasn't as sick this time around which was really nice.  I had acid indigestion everyday with Daley and with Case I only get it everyonce in a while which is really nice!  I get more headaches with this one especially if I don't drink enough water.  I had tons of energy the first trimester but now that I am in the second I am slowly loosing my energy darn it!  Because Daley was born at 34 weeks, I have to get a weekly shot of progesterone to keep from going into labor early hopefully!  We just can't wait to meet our little guy!  April isn't coming soon enough!!

 

 

 

Our Busy Month of October

October was such a fun and busy month!  First we got to hang out with Madi for a couple of weeks, then my Mom and Grandma B came up to visit for a couple of days!  We had fun cooking and hanging out at the park when they came!  We are so glad Grandma got to come too!!  Hopefully Grandpa can come up sometime too!

 

Nana and Papa and Tanner came to visit! I feel bad the only pictures I have of them are some that Daley took with my phone. They are pretty good considering but I need to get my camera out more!  But we had a good time just lounging around and watching movies!

 

 

Jennie and Kayde and the Kids got to come up the next weekend!  We got to go to the Four Corners and shop at all of the little shops!  Daley and Koley were best buds the whole trip. Koley was such a good shopping helper to Daley.  She would lift her up to see and touch all of the pretty Native  jewelry!  Haha thanks Koley for being such a good friend to Daley! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since Denver is in Young Men's, Daley and I got to come along for a fun hay ride!  It was during a cold front so everyone was bundled up in coats and blankets!  We had so much fun hanging out with everyone and drinking hot chocolate!

 

 

Denver got to go on a cattle drive on the ranch!  I didn't get a lot of pictures here either but we had a good time keeping warm and bundled up in the cabin with Nana waiting for the guys to finish.  Kayden got to go on her first cattle drive and she did awesome!  We are glad she got to hang out with us on Sunday while the guys hauled the bulls down.

 

 

 

 

 

The next weekend Denver had hunt and we went down to Thatcher on Halloween.  We were suppose to be characters from Monsters Inc.  Denver was suppose to be Sully, me Mike Wisowski, and Daley Boo but I didn't get Denver's beanie finished in time.  On the ride down I was frantically trying to get our beanies done and I got mine somewhat done but I couldn't get Denver's to look right because I didn't have a picture.  But I plan to finish them and maybe we will take another picture haha. 

 

 

 

 

Denver and the guys left the next day up to Alpine for the mule deer hunt to scout before it opened.  Denver got his deer on opening day!!  His Dad and brothers were on their way down to hunt with Denver and they saw one off the side of the road so Denver hopped in with them and found it and shot it!  Way to go Honey! 

 

 

 

 

Us girls hung out got some haircuts and went to Tucson for a day just for shopping!  I didn't get hardly any pictures again! 

 

Daley did so good getting her hair cut!  We were so impressed!  Our cousin Jill cut it and it turned out soooo cute!
