Fall Festivities

This October has been all about outings. We have gone to a pumpkin patches with friends, The Boo Zoo, and another zoo called Wildlife Zoo. All so fun and Wesley had a blast at all of them. Of course I didn't take the best or that many pictures but here is what we have been up to these past couple weeks.

Vertuccio Farm. A bunch of us got a Groupon passes and went. I was so excited to go because its fall and fall is so fun. Well, in AZ going to these outdoor pumpkin farms isn't the most fun. It was still like 100 degrees. we were dying of heat but all the boys had so much fun. I love hanging with all these girls. Look at all our boys playing together. They all are pregnant with another boy too. I know I missed the memo on that one but Wes will just have even more boys to play with. :)

Next up the Phoenix Boo Zoo. I went with Rachel and Parker. Wes loves Parker.

Some of our friends from Utah came down and we met up with them at the Wildlife Zoo. Their little girl Naomi and Wes aree going to get married one day. :) This Zoo is a little bit of a trek to get too, but so worth it. The animals were so close. The aquarium was pretty sweet too. Of course we didn't get a group pic, and the pictures we have are mostly of Wes, you will still get the idea of how awesome this zoo is.

Happy 30th Birthday Garrett

The most amazing husband in all the world just turned the big 3 0. Well, on October 4th he did. So it was time to celebrate. I threw him all of his "favorite things" party. All our family came. Some of his favorite things included: Chevy's salsa, grilled Carne Asada tacos, banana cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory, and my famous guacamole. :) I think its famouse because its bomb.com

The next weekend Garrett and I took off for a surprise getaway to San Francisco. It was so fun. San Francisco is the most amazing city that is full of things to do all hours of the day. We just walked everywhere, ate out every meal, tried to sleep in, and went to movies every night. Garrett celebrated his new age in style. Our hotel was gorgeous and right in Union Square. One highlight was we went to a diners, drive-ins and dives place we found. Garrett loves this show so we found a restaurant called Rocco's. It was amazing!!!! Such a hole in the wall but the best Italian food. It was so good it tasted almost light. Weird huh? Best vacation ever. My sweet Mom watched Wesley for us while we played all weekend. Thanks MOM!!!

 

 

Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day was full of amazing events. The first one was, the celebration Berlyn's Baptism. What a huge step she took, and She was beautiful in her white dress! Then on Sunday we got to celebrate the newest addition's Soren and Molli's baby blessings. Than gave each of them such incredible blessings. We were so happy we were able to share these events with family. We love you all.

REMEMBER

For the husband who told his wife “I love you” one last time before his plane went down in a field. For the wife who stopped in the stairs to call her husband to say “I will love you forever”. For the mothers and fathers who kissed their kids goodbye the morning they died. For the policemen who rushed in with the firemen to help get others out, only to die themselves. For the soldiers who fought back and lost their lives. Today, tomorrow, ten years from now; we will remember ♥ 9-11-01.

The Move

Here is a true update on what we are doing. We have decided to pack up our things and move down to AZ. We have lived in Utah for almost 4 years. Utah will always be so special to us. It was where Wesley was born, and we had a wonderful first year of his life there. We have met some amazing friends that we will cherish their friendship years to come. Basically, Utah was good to us. Well, I hated the winters, I really never got use to that. Anyways, Garrett and I have been wanting some kind of a change. We just didn't know what really. Garrett has been working from home and its been great but we had this freedom to do something else. We decided to move back to AZ to be closer to family and for me to finish up with school. I feel so lucky and blessed that I have been able to pursue school full time now, with Garrett's help at home with Wesley, and all my fabulous family around. It just worked out perfect. So, after much prayer and thought we packed up and headed down south to AZ.
Since we have been here we have basically melted away. I have never felt more tired in my life. We all sleep so much. Even Wes. We have basically lived in pools, splash pads, and indoor anything. We have hung out with friends, and family. We even got to see Jenna and Dennis. They came in from NY last weekend.
About 3 weeks ago I started school. It feels so crazy to be back in a classroom, but I am loving every minute of it. I have decided to finish up at ASU in their Dietetic program. I am so excited. I have never been more busy in my life by being a student, and a mom but have never been happier. We are so grateful for these fun changes and what the future will hold.

The Rest of July

This part of the month is kinda a blur. I also had Jenna's family staying with us the rest of the month. We had so much fun, but I kept procrastinate packing up my house. I was so sad to live Utah in the summer. Utah is one of the most beautiful places to live and we had to move right when the weather was PERFECT. Here is a recap of what we all did.

Week 2 Of July

Garrett's Family goes to Newport Beach every summer. We love this trip so much. Wesley was so much fun at this age at the beach. He loved it.

Changes

Well the Fuller Family has gone through a couple changes in our lives. We don't live in UT anymore, we have moved to AZ. I know AZ right? I always said I would never move back, well we did. We showed up August 1st, the hottest time of the year. My first update I will be going backwards. Our last month in Utah was amazing. We had visitors for the entire month. It was kinda CRAZY but so fun and I couldn't have moved without all my family around.

Lets begin with the 1st  week of the July.

We had Brad & Jaime's Family come visit. We had a blast...

Happy Fathers Day

We celebrated fathers day Garrett style. We went shopping to get him some much needed summer clothes and then of course had to surprise him with his favorite breakfast and little something from Wes. We love you Babe! Thank you for being such a great dad, husband and best friend!

To win Garrett over, homemade cinnamon rolls (I totally use Rhodes Dough, taste the same) eggs and ham, and a DP.

Preview of Wesley's 1 yr pictures. . .

more to come once I get the CD.

PART 2: LA ZOO

We spent one days with Scott, McCall, Jack & Clara. It was so fun. We were so lucky that Scott was on a break so we could have the whole family together. I have been wanting to go to the zoo so bad with Wes but in Utah it has been a little cold. So I think I was more excited then the kids to go.

to start this exciting day we met for lunch. We had this yummy greasy, delicious food called OiNKSTERS, the slow fast food. Sucha cute name huh.

Our 2 Week Road Trip: Part 1

We were heading down to California to go help Carrie, Garrett's sis who just had twins, with her babies. I did a couple nights of the feedings. I have a new found respect for moms who have twins. So anyways, As we were heading down to Cali we decide to take a minor detour and head to AZ. It was a quick detour but so nice to see the family. More on AZ later. Then we headed on to California. We had a blast just kickin it in Valencia. We haven't been back there in forever so it was really nice just to hang. We ate at all our favorite restaurants, enjoyed the fabulous weather, and just really hung out.

St. George Getaway

This past weekend we wanted to escape this horrible weather and go visit some of our best friends, Juan and Shealee. They moved down to St. George almost a year ago and we have seen them throughout the year but never have just spent a weekend with them. Well it was time. The boys had a blast golfing a couple a days, and the ladies had fun shopping, hanging and eating out. The weather was so perfect too. Thanks guys for having us. Of course I didn' take pictures really but I did some take some with my phone, so enjoy.

It was snowing on our way down. Umm, isn't it the middle of May???

Wes was so scared of this puppy. Every time he saw him his big lip was out and he would cry hysterically. It was so sad but kinda cute.

Wesley's 1 year old Update

Wesley has turned 1. Wow I can't believe I have a 1 yr old. Everyone always says this but time has flown by. Its so weird to think a year ago I had him. Here is an update on Wesley:

1. He can say:   Duke, Momma, Dada, No, with finger pointed out, stop, & uh oh
2. He has taken up to 8 steps. I try to video it but miss him every time
3. He can stand all by himself
4. He can climb up and down stairs. Down has been a little tricky but he's got it now
5. He eats everything, not picky at all
6. He LOVES being in his crib more then anything. He just bounces off the bumpers and thinks he is so funny
7. Favorite show is the backyardagains
8. Despises getting his diaper changed. He will cry and scream, so hard every time. It takes 2 people to change him. he just started this a couple of weeks ago.
9. Has 2 blankets that he has to go to sleep with. Neither are the cute minky ones I bought for him but just simple cotton ones passed down to him from Davis.
10. Loves to entertain. He knows how to put on a show when people are around.
11. He is fast to adapt. He already is back to himself after taking his bottle away. It took him about 4 days.
12. He is always so busy. Even in his car seat, he is moving the canopy back and forth the entire drive.
13. Only takes naps in his crib. I think he is just to curious and doesn't want to miss anything
14. Can give kisses

We love this little guy more than anything. This year has been one of our best. The joy and the love this little guys brings to our family is so great. Everyday gets more and more fun because I see more and moreof his personality coming out. I love you Wesley.

Love,
MOM
