So we have a tradition

Tyson's parents and Hannah came to visit for about a week and a half and left Monday :( But we did have a lot of fun while they were here. Here is only one thing we did while they were here, so I have a lot more pictures to post.

Last year we went with the youth in our ward to a corn maze called Layman Family Farms. It was SO much fun we decided to go again this year and I really want to go again, not just next year, but again. Even if it is an hour drive away, it is totally worth it. It wasn't easy with a fussy newborn though...let me just tell you. The corn maze is a ton of fun. It is really fun with the kids. Caleb thought it was incredibly fun to hide in the sides where there were pockets in the corn. It was pretty cute.

Josh was our little leader. He was happy and tried to tell us which way we should go the whole time. He is so grown up and so much like his Daddy. :)

We went on a hayride and it stopped at a pumpkin patch so people could get a pumpkin of their own. Josh was so adorably proud of the pumpkin he picked out. Super cute.

Caleb tried to find the perfect pumpkin...to sit on. Tyson said that he walked around and tested out several pumpkins. No really, he wasn't just tired, he really would size them up and test them and differnt spots on the pumpkin. Kids are so funny.

The hayride.

The massive jumping pillow.

Tyson's sister, Hannah, shooting corn from the corn cannon.

Daddy and Josh on the outground tunnel slide.

Spider web. Caleb hated it. :)

Josh in a tire, haha.

Horse swings made completely from a tire. Super nifty.

My personal favorite, the cow train. Cassie in Gertie...

Josh and Hannah in JellyBean...

and Caleb and Handsome in Maggie.

Not the sand box, but the corn kernal box.In every other picture he is just a blob under a blanket, but Matthew was there. My cute little "hippopatomus" as Josh calls him.

So that's all for now. You should totally check this place out if you ever get the chance. SO fun!

Dove Conference in Baltimore

The last week of July Tyson went to a conference in Lexington, KY and the boys and I were alone for a few days until I left for Baltimore for a Dove Chocolate Discoveries conference. We had so many awesome people watch the boys for us and I was SO glad I got to go. I had the time of my life! This is the few from my room, so high and so pretty. I woke up one morning to the sun rising and just layed there and watched it. Right next to our hotel they had these cute little dragon paddle boats. The boys would have loved it.

I learned a lot, got really motivated, but I made some awesome friends too. This is me and Liz the night of the banquet. She is awesome!

Everyone was freaking out because I was dancing so much. I can't help it, I LOVE to dance! They all thought I was going to go into labor or something. Hehe

The whole dreamnchocolate team. Me and Bertina (right of me) are both pregnant and due the same day, crazy huh?

Learning

Eating... (the far left is Bekah, she is my upline and AWESOME!)

This is Allyson, and she was the one that took most of these pictures. If not for her, I would have the one from my hotel room and that is about it. I am so bad about taking pictures.

General Session. It was more like a pep rally the whole time, with tons of music and prizes. It was SO much fun! Plus we got to try all the new products. Toffee, sugar-free chocolate covered caramels, white chocolate pear cider, cinnamon rolls, pretty much the best stuff ever!Walking around after dinner the first night we were there.

Betty Palm, DCD president.

Chef Mark, he comes up with a lot of the new products and ways to use them. Not to mention he is hilarious.

Me, Billi Jo and Betty, two other ladies on my team. They are so funny, especially Billi Jo, man she has attitude. :)

Then this is when they were telling us where we are going for our incentive trip this coming year. The joked about ice fishing trips, out west, scuba diving, stuff like that (it explains their outfits), but then they told us it is DOMINICAN REPUBLIC at this super awesome resort. I am so excited! So that is what I am working towards now, getting there and taking my fabulous Tyson with me (and probably the baby too as he will still be so small). So we will see...but I am so excited and I love chocolate!

Grandma, Grandpa and Papo come for a Visit

Okay, since I am on a role with this blogging catch up, here are pictures from the visit from my Mama and Dad and Papo! They came for Kenni and Chris's graduation. Hooray for the Vials!
Here are some cute pictures from the graduation, all the kids were really good. Josh played with Chris's mom's i-phone and Zuri and Caleb slept almost the whole time.

Bubble blowing with Oma/Grandma/pink Grandma (all of Josh's names for her)

Kenni looked cute...but the boys were kind of weird.

I was trying to get a picture with Mom and Dad and the boys, but Dad was getting distracted. Hehe, it is cute. The boys loved having them here! (as did I of course)

Papo and two of his great-grandkids. :)

Coldstone! Josh got green ice cream, only because he LOVES green. It was so much fun being with Papo.

We went to the zoo while we were here. I put this picture in because you can kind of see my belly. Kenni is only due like 5 days after me and she is tiny in comparison! :)

Just in case you thought I was normal.

The bird cages.

The boys loved being trapped in between the doors. Hah

Daddy and Caleb

The playground at the zoo is probably just as cool as everything else there.

The twins. Caleb and Zuri had the same colored shirt on. They are the same size, just chocolate and vanilla colored hair.

The goats and zebu.

The cougar

Josh and me watching the cougar.

As you can tell, most of our pictures were from the zoo.

For your enjoyment...especially the second one.
