Merry Christmas

Happy Halloween!

It's a...

...boy! As if there was ever any doubt (those Atwood male sperm are like ninjas).

And we love him!

 

His name is Brigham (Brig) Cizmas Atwood. He was born at 5:45 pm, July 16th. 8lbs. 4oz.

Delivery was nice and quick, and Brig is adorably cute.

 

PS: He does not like car seats.

We Bought a House

Call me crazy, but I'm sure going to miss this old place. We bought a home in West Jordan about 2 months ago, leaving behind of course, our Rose Park roots. Here is our house after everything was out. I maybe cried when we turned over the keys to our new renters.

This bookshelf is hands down my favorite thing we did to this house.

But all good things must come to an end I suppose. We started looking on a Friday, saw our new house Saturday morning, put an offer on it Saturday afternoon, and had it accepted by Monday. It was quick. Maybe quicker than we were expecting. Which makes me think it must've been meant to be. Either that or we are just really impulsive shoppers.

Here are a few pictures of the new crib.

I told Tyson to act natural

I love, love, love the new place. The location is amazing, close to EVERYTHING. It is 5 miles to work for Rem, as opposed to 20. So that's nice.

The basement is unfinished, so when we hit it big we'll try to finish that one.

All in all, we are very happy with how things turned out. The ward is great, and the neighbors have been so kind and welcoming.

Like I said though, we sure miss our Rose Park peeps. We had a wonderful experience starting our life together there and we made lots of wonderful friends and neighbors.

HAWAII

Did I ever mention we took a little trip to HAWAII a month ago? Well, we did.

View from our room. Not to shabby.

Island cuisine.

Rem, showing off his guns at Pearl Harbor.

Looking hot at the temple.

The last picture is at a beach on the other side of the island that we found. It was voted the #1 beach in America, and it did not disappoint. It was pretty much beautiful.

So thank you Onset for a fabulous trip, we had an absolute blast!

And of course Joe and Kati, and Kirk and Christy for taking our little boys for us. We did miss them...kind of...

NASA

Thanks to the Hallewell's, and their children's unwillingness to produce boys, we were lucky enough to get this adorable little ensemble in the mail from them! Tyson loved his little astronaut costume.

I hope he doesn't take it to heart, of course. After seeing Gravity, my already paralyzingly fear of space was multiplied by thousands, and I will never go there.

And we all know NASA is pounding on my door constantly begging me to go to space. Because I am so smart.

Lauren, have fun by yourself, weirdo.
