New Blog!

Hello everyone!

Yes, as you can see, I have been terrible about updating the blog. Working full time, being a mom full time, and being pregnant left little time for blogging. For my New Year's resolution, I decided I really wanted to start updating the blog. I thought that if I started a new blog, it would get me excited and I would start blogging again. Here it is, the end of March, and I still hadn't started! :) However, with the birth of our new son, I want to start again so I went ahead and started our new blog. Since we moved to Utah last year, we are now Harmors in Utah. :)

Please come read the updates about our family! I decided to go private as well so let me know if you would like to view. I am going to be updating this blog to include the rest of 2010, but will also be making this private in the next few weeks.

Our new blog is:

Halloween 2010

We had a great Halloween this year! We were a little late on the celebration of things, which apparently when it comes to picking out pumpkins, is a bad thing, but we still had a great time celebrating with Graham.

We went to a local pumpkin patch on Halloween Day to pick out a family pumpkin. We had gotten one a few weeks earlier for a party, which we carved, and then it died a couple days later, so I wanted to get another one. But, all the good ones were gone! Graham was still excited to look at all the reject pumpkins.

Graham got a kick out of sticking his face through this pictures. Such a cute boy!








The pumpkin patch had a little petting zoo. Graham has fallen in love with animals and he was anxious to pet them all!






Graham and I taking a ride on the hay ride. He loved it!








The hay ride dropped us off at the pumpkin patch and it was actually pretty creepy. It was filled with these dead sunflowers. They were all over the place! This is definitely not somewhere I would like to be at night!












Graham got to sit on a tractor. He wasn't quite excited about this as we thought he would be! He loves tractors normally!




Graham got to go Trick-or-Treater this year and it was the first year that he actually understood what was going on. It took us a long time to convince him to put on his costume, but after much bribing we got it on him. I knew the second he was outside, he would be fine. And he was! He was so cute running from house to house. Here he is at his first door.








Travis helping Graham pick out the candy he wants (don't you love those people who leave a big basket of candy outside their door!)

Showing off his candy in his cute monkey costume!

A big grin on his face! He loved carrying around his bucket of candy!

After it was over, he is showing me all the candy that he got.

A cute Monkey smile!

This is an adorable video of Graham trick or treating! A must see! :)

First Snow!

Utah in October gave us our first snow of the year! It was so exciting to see Graham's reaction to the snow. When we came to Utah for Christmas last year, he HATED the snow!! He would throw a complete fit anytime we would put him down. So, I was not expecting him to be as excited as he was!

It snowed much more a couple days later and Graham stomped right through it! I couldn't get him out of the snow! It was so much fun!

Lake Powell in October!

My parents always have a week in October for the House Boat at Lake Powell, but we have never been. This year, Nate was going to do the Lake Powell Triathalon and it was Amy's birthday so my parents were going to be up there as well, so we decided we would drive down as well. It was so fun! Especially to see Graham with his cousins, Payton and Owen. They all had a blast together!

Graham, Payton, and Owen are feeding the ducks. Graham was more interested in eating the bread, but he got the hang of it after a while.

Payton was such a good helper! She always held Graham's hand and made sure he didn't fall into the lake!

Cute cousins!

It started raining while we watched Nate in the Triathalon, so we all piled into the car and the kids watched Toy Story. It was cute to see them all together.

After the rain, we actually got some sun so we piled in Amy and Nate's boat and went on a nice boat ride. Graham fell right asleep!

Owen and Graham playing together! They played cars all weekend, it was so fun!

All the cousins together. I was bummed that Graham was closing his eyes, but I couldn't get another shot. It's still cute! Graham loves his cousins!

One Fall Day

A couple weeks ago, Travis' family visited for our new nephew's baby blessing. We spent some time with his parents and took them around the Alpine Loop. The changes in the leaves were amazing and it was such a beautiful drive!

Grandma and Grandpa Harmor!

Travis' parents spent some time with Graham's cousin Lucy, so we took some time to explore Provo, just like the good ol' times. We took Graham to the Provo temple grounds and he wanted to spend every second playing in the fountains.

Graham with the temple in the background. He likes to point out all the temples we see when we are driving and always points out the Angel Moroni (He says it so cute!).

Graham and Mommy posing in front of the temple (yep, his hair is all wet!).

Travis encourages Graham to "tackle mommy" whenever he gets a chance.

After touring around Provo, we took a pit stop to the local Dairy Queen. I know, Dairy Queen, but do you know how hard it is to find an actually Dairy Queen and not one in the mall? Graham loved Daddy's ice cream cone.

It was a great fall day!!

Graham is 2!

In August, Graham had his 2nd birthday! Of course, we had a mini cooper theme!

Here is his Mini Cake! I wish I could take the credit, but my mom decorated. Didn't she do a great job?!

All the yummy food!

Graham giving Grandma kisses. It was so great having Grandma and Grandpa here to help celebrate!

My cute boy waiting for the party to start.

Hanging out with Grandma and Chase.

Opening presents...this was his favorite gift, a new "Dub Mini" as he calls it. (Travis started calling it that because it has 20s, it stuck) Unfortunately, he opened this first....he didn't want to open any more presents, he just wanted to play with his mini. I finally had to hide it!

Looking at one of his birthday cards, it had Mickey on it, he loved it!

Opening up a new dump truck! Anything with wheels is a favorite!

Since Graham is still too young to have a "friends" birthday, I always try to do a fun game for the adults. This year, we had a Mario Cart Wii tournament. I think everyone had a great time! (Yep, even Grandma and Grandpa played!)

Graham was a little unsure about the singing, but he did manage to blow out his candle!

Happy Birthday to my darling boy!

Rest of Summer

Ok, I am determined to play catch up!

We had a great rest of the summer here in Utah! Here are a few random pictures from our adventures! :)

We took a trip to the Salt Lake County Fair where Graham got to meet some cute animals. Here is Travis showing Graham a cow.

Graham got to pet a sheep...

A snake....

and a chicken.... So fun!

We have lived here a couple months and hadn't taken a trip to Temple Square. Of course, this is a must! Here is Travis and Graham sitting at the doors of the Salt Lake Temple.

Graham being cute. :)

And lastly, Graham has been in heaven in our neighborhood with all the construction equipment. He could sit for hours and hours looking at all the "excavators" and "mini dozers". It has been so fun. I decided to get him up close and personal with this excavator. Yep, that's one happy boy!

Standing inside the digger. Yep, this is his most favorite thing ever! It's going to be sad when they finish all the houses. He is going to miss all his trucks!
