Halloween fun!

So blogging hasn't been at the top of my list of things to do so I apologize for the overload of pictures. We had a fun Halloween!

Delta Gamma Halloween party. A bunch of girls from my sorority planned a Halloween party. It was so much fun. I loved seeing these girls.

Our Annual Cannon Halloween party. This is Tim, my brother, with Sam.

Lil (my sis) and her boyfriend, Randy

Bobby (my bro) was dressed up as Micheal Phelps. It was awesome. He is with Kelli (wife) and her dad.

A little treat for all the ladies.

My cousin Thomas, aunt Cathy, cousin Sarah, and uncle Tom.

Wow. I am so jealous of all of my brother's bodies. Especially now that I am huge and pregnant.

Whitney (my sis) is the future wife of my brother, Alex (Jake is dressed up as him). Alex is going on a mission to Baton Rouge and Whitney is suppose to be the girl he meets there and ends up marrying. Whitney is pregnant but on her stomach it says "not Alex's". It was so funny.

Brian and I are dressed up as the girl and boy from Juno. Danny is a monkey and Sam is a shark.

I just had to put in this cute picture of the boys hiding in the pantry.

This is Sam and Fischer at our mom and me Halloween party. Cute boys.

The boys got so excited when it started snowing. They played in the snow all day. Sam loved getting all bundled up.

The boys picked out pumpkins at Brian's Grandpa Don's house. He grew them and was so proud.

Danny and I carving pumpkins.

Brian and Sam with all the pumpkins. We love going to Brian's parents house every year to carve pumpkins.

Danny had a parade at his preschool for Halloween.

Sam wanted to sit down with all of the kids in Danny's class. It was cute.

Danny and his cute teacher. That is Sam's arm in the picture. I love this picture.

Danny and his cousin, Sophie. She came to the parade and loved it.

My friends, Kristin and Sariah came over for a Halloween dinner.

Trick or Treating!

Sam was so excited about the Spongebob candy he got.

Danny wanted to ride his bike trick or treating. Every time someone would open the door, he would yell, "Happy Halloween!" He loved answering the door for trick or treaters. He would say thank you to them for coming. Halloween with kids is so much fun!

October

One of the things I love about fall is that there are always so many fun things to do. So here is what we have been up to.

St. George
We decided to make another trip to St. George. It was in the high 80's. What a nice warm break! It was so relaxing and fun.

We did a lot of eating. Of course we had to go eat at Nelson's Frozen Custard. I was so excited to find out that they had pumpkin ice cream! Yummmmm. It was delicious. I love this picture.

There isn't much that I love more than Danny's smile. I also love Cafe Rio which is what is all over his mouth. Danny was so happy to have Cafe Rio and then ice cream.

Sam was happy to be able to stand on the bench. A bunch of old ladies were asking what that was on his arm. It is a tattoo from Danny's birthday. It doesn't want to come off.

We went to Vegas the day of the Utah game. We didn't go to the game but we got to see Brian's sister, Kellie and her husband Ty. Danny had his arm around Ty and Brian so I decided to get a picture.

The boys watching t.v. in their towels.

Since their isn't a ton to do in St. George, we went searching for different arcades. The boys LOVED IT. We went to a couple different places with arcades. Let me just say that this makes me so excited to have a girl. We can go get pedicures while the boys golf and play video games. That is pretty much all we did, we golfed, played at the arcades, played at the park and swam a lot.

We love food! In case you are wondering, I was there but I am just not in any of the pictures.

My birthday

Last week, we went to Tiburon with Brian for my birthday. It was delicious as always. I also went to Cheesecake Factory for lunch. It is always great to have good food on your birthday. I had a great birthday.

My friends and I went to dinner for my friend, Sariah's birthday. Happy Birthday, Sariah!

The only candle she had was the number 5. That was bad planning on our part. She was so happy anyway.

Little twinners. The boys were watching t.v. on my bed and not only were they dressed the same but Sam was posed the same as Danny too.

Danny was so excited to share his seat with his friend Parker. How funny.

Gardner Village

We went to Gardner Village when it was still warm and saw the witches. Danny was nervous about the witch next to us. His favorite was the witch on the toilet.

Sam, Sophie, and Danny.

Ok I hope you are patient because I saved the best for last. Sam is loving these goggles he found and loves to wear them. You have to watch this video to see how funny he looks.

Happy Birthday Danny!

Yesterday Danny turned 4! He had such a great birthday this year. We love you Danny!

Yay for Diego! Danny was so excited to get this game.

Sam loves Danny's new scooter. Our cute neighbor loves to push Sam around on it. It is so funny.

In case Danny hasn't stopped you on the street to tell you, he got a new bike! HE LOVES IT! He found it before my parents gave it to him so he got to ride it a little early.

My cute grandparents came to visit Danny and the second Sam saw my Granddad, he just started hysterically laughing because my Granddad is always so goofy.

If you notice, my Granddad is letting Sam hit him on the head with a baseball bat.

Yay! A Utah baseball hat! Actually that big smile is because my Granddad is so funny.

I had the same smile on my face while eating his birthday cake. I love Schmidts Bakery.

Brian's grandpa was so cute with Sam. He just fed him his birthday cake.

My sister, Whitney and her daughter Sophie.

Every year, we have my family and Brian's family come over for the boys birthdays. We love parties!

For Danny's birthday party, I made cupcakes. He wanted pink and purple. I thought that was funny.

This year we did everything that Danny wanted for his birthday party. He had a lot of fun. He just wanted to dance to "Battlefield" by Jordin Sparks most of the time. It was really funny.


The boys danced at first but then they got sick of it.

But Danny's cute friend, Chloe never stopped dancing.

As long as Danny's party is on a Saturday, it looks like he will always be going to a Utah game on that day. Here is Danny and Grandma Janell.

Even though my hip was killing me and I could barely walk, I took Danny to the game because I really wanted to go. It was so much fun!

Danny spent most of the time taking random pictures of everyone and everything. Here is one of about 10 of Grandma Janell.

And Grandpa Paul.

Family Pictures

Ok for some reason this top part is underlined and I don't know why. Oh well. The other day my sister, Elizabeth and her boyfriend, Randy came out to our house and we went to the lake (just in our neighborhood... I like to brag about how cool our neighborhood is) and took pictures.

If it looks like I am smiling a little too hard in these pictures, it is because I am laughing so hard. Randy kept pretending like he was about to fall in the lake and it was so funny. He needs to be there for all of our photo shoots.

This was so funny. We told Danny that if he smiled big for the pictures he could play in the lake. He just ran around with his shorts pulled up so high. He loves the water.

Park City with the girls

A year ago, a bunch of girls from my neighborhood planned a weekend to Park City. We have decided to make it an annual trip in September. It was so fun and this year it was a totally different group of girls so I got to know some new girls.

Dinner at Baja Cantina. Yummm! I love this restaraunt.

Jane, me, Kendra, and Jenn at dinner.

The next night we went to the Eating Establishment. I was not a huge fan of this place. I was just happy to be having dinner with the girls though.

HOT TUB!! I was sad that I couldn't get all the way in but at least I could put my legs in.


We made sure to go to a movie. We saw All About Steve which was TERRIBLE! I knew it was going to be but I figured since everyone wanted to see it, I would just follow the group. A bunch of us left in the middle and ended up watching the last 1 1/2 hours of Julie and Julia which was so much better. I love movies.


We got free rides on the gondolas it was so fun.

Beautiful view.

Weeeeee! Haha. I don't know why I am so weird sometimes. Everyone was just posing so serious for these individual pictures and I didn't.

Haha. This is Michelle pole dancing. Kind of blurry.

Another cheesy picture of me. These guys thought I was going to do some seductive pose like Michelle but I didn't. It was kind of akward.

Danny's first day of Preschool

Danny started preschool a few weeks ago and he just loves it. He loves to learn new things and gets so excited to go. This was a picture I took at his preschool. What a cutie pie.

Girls Trip to St. George

So several months ago, my friends and I wanted to plan a girls trip. We decided to go to St George because we had a free place to stay and we could just drive down. My friends kept asking me when I was going to plan the trip but since Brian travels so much, it was hard to find a time to plan the trip that would work for everyone. So 2 weeks ago we finally went and it was a blast! I love these girls to death.

So on the way down, this creepy guy came up to us (when we were at the gas station) and told us that our tire pressure was low and he would fix it. Well it was actually low but we didn't want him to fix it so we went somewhere else to get it done. These pictures were Sariah checking the tire pressure. I guess this doesn't surprise me because she has pretty much had to do everything on her own. This one guy asked us if we were going off to college. I looked down at my pregnant belly and thought wow I would hope not.

Woo hoo! Off to Vegas! Carolyn, Sariah, and Kristin sat in the back.

While us pregnant girls sat in the front.

Shopping at the outlets. It was sooo hot!

My favorite part of Vegas was going to pottery barn kids. I called Brian before and asked him if I could buy some bedding for the baby girl and he said yes. I walked into the store and just started squealing because I was so excited. I was just grabbing things all over the place and putting them together. I kept picturing how her room would look and it was at that point where I thought, I am going to be in big trouble having a girl. So I spent way too much time in there and half the girls left to go to different stores.

Cheesecake Factory. You can never go wrong here.


Haha. We decided to ride our bikes to the pool and after 2 seconds of going I realized that my tire was flat. I was also holding a book, my towel, and my water bottle so I was having a hard time riding anyway. As you can see I dropped my stuff and just left it there while this nice man pumped up my tire. What is with us and tire problems?

Laying out at the pool + no kids = HEAVEN. Although I don't think Heaven will be 107 degrees. We didn't last long.

Pedicures!

We went and saw the Time Traveler's Wife. I was reading like crazy trying to finish the book in time. Obviously the book was much better but I was dissapointed in the movie. I wasn't sure how on earth they were going to fit it all into a movie. By the end my eyes were all red from crying so hard.

Games! You can't go to St George without playing card games. I love Sariah's face. This is seriously how she was the entire time. I loved it. She has so much energy. I wish I would've gotten pictures of her in her crazy yoga poses. She is amazing.

Hahaha. We are so funny!!!

Oh man. These pictures should be blown up and framed. We are so cool.

Peek a boo! Do you like that everyone has a cute smile and I have an evil leprechaun face.

I just love all of these girls and I can't wait till we get to do it again. I have such amazing friends and I have learned so much from them. Theses girls have been through so much. Thank you for the memories!!

To end, I would like to share this video of Sariah riding her bike down the street. We told her she looked like Julie Andrews so she decided to sing like her.

TABPR 2009

Ok Brian really doesn't want to blog so I am making him tell me what to write about his guys trip while he watches sports. Every year Brian and his friends go to St George and pretty much eat and play video games for 4 days. Brian has known most of these guys since since middle school. They are all still best friends. The main reason they go down is to host their annual golf tournament.

This is a picture of the guys in their golf shirts that they had made for the tournament. They even have their names on them. The shirts have a golfer on them with the letters TABPR. I can't tell you what those letters stand for because it is a secret organization, dear (that is what Brian said). I am laughing right now. The red team is Josh Sato, Cole Quam, Danny Kofoed, and Bobby Cannon. The blue team is Brian, Nate Locke, Matt Tucker, and Jared Neeley.

This is our trophy tournament cup. It is sacred and has all of the winners names on it for each year. (Brian)

Jared and Nate

Matt and Brian

The guys at the Players Club. It is the victory dinner. Losers buy dinner for the winners. Look at how cute all of these guys are! I love them. (Annelise)

We are winners. This is the only time we will want the blue team to win.

I rule.

We are having a.....

GIRL!!!!!!
Wow. I don't even know where to begin. So I am pregnant. I am so excited! I am due around January 13 (thanks Kendra for figuring that out for me). I have been asked if it was planned. Yes it was planned. Right after I found out I was pregnant, we had a lot of stressful things happen and I felt like my life was turned upside down and I started becoming really stressed about being pregnant. I remember laying on the table at the doctor's office for an hour (he was a little behind, story of my life) and I kept trying to convince myself that this was a good thing. Of course I knew it was a good thing but I just kept thinking of all of the bad things in my life at the time and that made it hard. I kept telling myself that so many people that are close to me want to get pregnant so badly but they can't. Anyway thanks to Brian who was so optimistic and patient, I felt better and things started becoming a lot easier for us.

After I had Sam I told myself that the next baby would be a boy. I convinced myself that this was true. I have been dying to have a girl and I just thought that I wouldn't be lucky enough to get one. So I got pregnant and I felt much more sick than I usually do. I wondered if maybe that meant it was a girl but I tried not to think that way. The longer I waited, the more I thought it was a girl. Brian was convinced that it was a girl from the beginning. At the beginning of my pregnancy, I kind of had a break down and just cried to Brian. I don't even remember what I told him but I think it wasn't very nice. The next day he went out of town for work and sent this to me:
I was so happy. There was a note on it that said something like, "I hope you get a girl." I think I hid the note because I thought Oh I don't want our boy to find out about this note. So I went in for my 16 week appointment and the doctor said that he thought it was a girl but he wasn't positive. So I went in for my 20 week appointment and after the ultrasound tech stared at the head for what seemed like an hour, he found the rest of the body and said, "I think it is a girl." We sat there for a second and I said, "You don't sound positive about that." He laughed and didn't say anything. After about 10 minutes, he looked again and said that it was definitely a girl. I was so excited! I think I already knew though. Then my doctor came in and confirmed that it was a girl. I still can't believe it. Then I turned to Brian and said, "I already bought girl clothes." He seemed very worried and lectured me on saving money and not to go crazy buying girl clothes. I told him I couldn't wait to buy a big poofy dress for her. He just laughed. There were so many thoughts running through my head like I can't wait to do her hair, I can't wait to take her on shopping trips, I can't wait to take her to get pedicures, I can't wait to take her to chick flicks, I can't wait to give her makeovers, and I can't can't can't wait to put her in dance. I can't wait to put her in her little costume, get her makeup done up, and watch her in her dance recital. I did the exact same thing growing up and I am so excited for my daughter to do that. Oh and I also can't wait for Brian to take her on a date night. I can't wait to see him with a little girl. I think i might put him in charge of doing her hair and see how he does. He told me he would just put a bow in her hair. Good answer, sweetie.

I remember going over to see our friends, Spencer and Beth's little baby girl. I was holding her and the boys just couldn't get enough of her. They kept stroking her black curly hair and Sam kept saying, "Baby!". They just wanted to stare at her and touch her. That made me want a little girl so bad.

So now I can say that I am so happy to be pregnant. I can't wait. This is such a blessing to us. I also have to say that I am so happy to already have to boys who can watch over her and protect her (and maybe she can marry one of their friends like I did with my brother's best friend). Danny and Sam are just the most wonderful boys. They love me whether I am happy or I am yelling at them all day and so grumpy. They are just sweethearts. I love them. I am so lucky.

Also 2 things:
1: Sorry this is soooo long. So many thoughts.
2: Sorry there is no picture. I am so sad, the printer wasn't working!!! I always scrapbook my ultra sound pictures. Then he gave me a dvd of the ultrasound and it won't come up on my computer so I am not happy about that.
