We have been having some nice summer rains that have cooled things off a bit- don't get me wrong, it is still over 100 degrees out in the afternoon. <br />
Tom had his first MMA fight also since I last wrote (Tom Fender vs Eric Jordan on YouTube.com). He won, and it was a super fun night. He also has since had his eyes fixed since he had to fight blind. Which is quite funny because I, on the other hand had to get glasses. He is still working for Harmony Hospice and has also started a business called Surelux Distributors, they retrofit commercial properties for LED lighting. No jobs yet- but hopefully they will get their first job soon. He also is in the Elder's Quorum presidency at church, needless to say, he is a busy man.<br />
I, on the other hand quit my job and was released from Young Women's. I am a stay at home mom now and teacher in Relief Society. I had a miscarriage last October, which was and still is sometimes a difficult experience, however we are expecting a baby boy (Cael Thomas) to join our family sometime in October! :). It has been a rough pregnancy this time, not so much getting sick, but just battling my crazy pregnancy hormones and the fatigue of the best job in the world, being a mom, of course, of two little ones at the same time as making a baby. But all in all, I feel extremely blessed.<br />
Tom and I celebrated our 6 year Anniversary in May, crazy how fast time flies once you are married. <br />
Adam will be 5 years old in November. He got into the Pre-K Typical Peer Program at Wright Elementary, which means he will officially be in school on Track 3, Monday-Thursday AM, starting August 25th. Which blows my mind, but I am excited for him and think he will thrive since he absolutely loved his trial class that he had to tale to get in. He is reading little words now like: he, and, & the. It is fun to see him blending words together. He also loves to play UNO- we play best out of 5 every day. :) His favorite food right now is chicken and corn. we have to force him to eat anything else.<br />
Ellie will be 3 years old in September. She also loves reading, but her favorite thing is going through the car wash and helping me vacuum it out. Which is awesome, because my car has never stayed so clean. We do the car every Wed or Thurs. :). Ellie is naturally loving and caring and nurturing, she is going to be a great big sister. Her favorite food is pizza, she can throw down two pieces like its nothing, and unlike Adam, she eats constantly. Her #1 phrase is, "I'm hungry!"<br />
Anyways that is a little of what has been going on with us, hopefully I can write more often. I'll try!<br />

Adam did a Basketball camp at the Fife's house with Coach Fife and Coach Truman. This was after we got his new socks and basketball. He was so excited he wanted to hold them and fell asleep like this. :)<br />

About two and a half months ago, our street flooded-- yes there was a river going down our street-- it was crazy! Here are my handsome boys checking it out. We found our trash can down the street and around the corner up against the gait with about 7 other trash cans that got swept away. <br />

It was everyone's first time getting to meet our Ellie Bean and everyone loved her and can't believe how big Adam is getting. We couldn't have chosen a better name for Ellie than Eleanor, which means "shining light". She really does bring light into our lives. She is always so happy and smiley. Even when she is teething or not feeling good, you can always get her to smile. Love that girl! And Adam was such a great boy. He had so much fun playing with his cousins. <br />
Meara said that him and Marek were "BFFs". So cute. They were so adorable to watch going everywhere together and playing. At Aunt Cindy's house we all played "Simon Says" and "Red Rover, Red Rover". <br />

Ellie has a blast with Brixton too. He is much bigger than she is but they played really well together. They are both pulling themselves up on things and walking along things. Next time we come out to visit, I'm sure they'll be running around together. Of course, the first thing ellie did was go give him kisses. She is such a lover.</div>

All the cousins that were there. (except Ellie-- she was napping)</div>
<br />
We also got to hang out with Van quite a bit. When we first got there, Mom and Dad took Adam and Ellie to Van's baseball game while I got some rest, since we drove through the night and I only got about 40 minutes of sleep. <br />
<br />
Adam slept a little on grannys lap and woke up in time to have his big cousin Van teach him how to run the bases. He loved it. <br />

We also got to go to the park with Van and to the Butterfly Pavillion, which Adam absolutley loved. You have to be 3 years old to hold "Rosie the Terantula", so Adam just stood close by while Van and I got to hold her. Adam and Van pressed their very own pennies too. Adam got to touch 3 different types of crabs and starfish also. He said it felt "weird". We all loved the "Rainforest" with all of the butterflies and turtles and fish. At first Adam w3as afraid of the butterflies, but Van told him it was okay and that they don't attack. Haha. Even Ellie was amazed at all the beautiful butterflies. They have signs up that say not to touch the butterflies because you can shorten their lifespan. But, sometimes the butterflies will land on you and that was really cool. Adam wanted me to get one to land on him so bad, and we tried. He is so funny. At one point, there was a butterfly on the ground that he was really close to and looking at and he told Nana, "I wanna step on that one", hahaha... she told him that he better not. I'm glad he asked first and didn't just do it. They also had a play area with some fun games. Adam climbed a rope web all the way up to the top and there was a bean bag toss game, where you toss the bag through the caterpillars mouths. We were going through the maze and Adam really wanted to try it. There was an older boy trying to do it and he was standing on the stool because the holes were pretty high, and the boy just couldn't seem to get it, next thing I knew Adam walked up to it and grabbed some bean bags and not even getting on the stool made his first 4 he threw through the hole. hahaha The kid and his dad both looked at him like "Whoa... how did that little kid do that". Needless to say, I was pretty proud of our little athelete!!<br />
<br />
The first week we were there Tom was in Vegas because he had to work. I missed him like crazy!!! During the week, my mom and dad and Seth helped clean out Granny and Papa's basement. Which let me tell you was a HUGE job. We should have gotten a before and after. I was on kid duty- while they all worked, I got to hang out with Adam, Ellie, and Van. We had a lot of fun together. I think Adam wore Van out. Everyone except for my dad (who worked tirelessly) took naps every day. <br />
We went to Billy and Kristy's house for dinner on Wednesday night when Luke and Kyle got back into town from Texas. Adam and Ellie had a blast. They had a watergun fight, wrestled, had a picnic dinner, released ladybugs into the plants, and Adam even got to drive a jeep, that was just his size. Billy was all worried about Kyle hurting Adam when they were wrestling because he is so much older and bigger, but I think he soon realized that Adam could hold his own. Kyle was like "that kid almost ripped my head off" Adam also put Luke in an arm bar. Tom would have been proud. :)<br />
<br />
Once Tom got to be there with us we spent the rest of the time at his sister's house. Adam loves hanging out with Grandma, Aunt Jessica and Uncle Aaron!! We went to the Children's museum (not sure who had more fun Aaron and Tom or Adam/ haha it was such a blast), Aaron taught Adam how to play the guitar a little, and we even got to go to Ikea for the first time ever. What an experience! I think if I was rich I would spend ridiculous amounts of money there!! It was so nicce to spend time together and to relax with family!!

Thanks to Aunt Jessica and Uncle Aaron, we got to go to Opportunity Village to see all the lights. It used to be a tradition I would go every year when it opened for my friend Nina's Birthday! It was always a blast. And now I think it will be a great tradition to continue. Adam absolutely LOVED it!! He was pointing at all of the lights and having the best time-- the train and rides were a bonus. </div>

It is always so much fun to have Jessica and Aaron in town. Adam loves them so much. We can't wait until they get married and have little cousins for Adam and Ellie (hint hint) haha. Adam is sitting on his Aunt Jessica's lap, shortly after this photo they got to ride the train together. My camera died so this is all the photos we got.<br />

But let me tell you, they had a great time. And Adam rode the "tea cup" ride that was actually dragons with daddy, and he even rode a horse on the carousel. Every time he came around, he would say "HI" and blow us a kiss. Just LOVE that boy.<br />

While we went to Opportunity Village to have fun Ellie stayed home with Nana and Aunt Lindsay. It was her first time away from mommy and let's just say she wasn't happy about it. They said she screamed the entire time. Nothing they did would console her. When I got home, I could see the fear in Lindsay's eyes. Haha Lindz said she has never heard a baby scream that way before. So funny!! Ellie might be just as stubborn as the rest of us because as soon as we got home, she calmed right down. She is a little high maintenance. :)<br />
<br />
We had a wonderful Christmas. Santa brought Adam a new red bike. He was so excited to get it!! And he rides it so well now, that i'm thinking Santa should have gotten him an actual bike with real tires instead of plastic!! <br />

And her name shall be... Eleanor Ann Fender. It was a beautiful experience to have Ellie's blessing in our home. The spirit was very strong and it was a the beautiful morning of November 25th, 2011. The family was in town and Seth got to stand in the circle. Our gorgeous baby girl is Blessed and we are so very blessed to have her in our life. Our little "Bean". Jessica got some on video, I need to remember to write it down for her when she gets older to read. I think she will love it.<span id="goog_300879867"></span><span id="goog_300879868"></span>Tom and Layne Fenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08587520677852257775noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894637574671938234.post-33185221216770622962012-04-25T01:18:00.001-07:002012-04-25T01:27:32.447-07:00lindsay's dirty 30<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The pinata was so much fun! Note to self-- pinatas are probably not age appropriate for a 2 year old birthday party-- there was no way he was breaking that thing and got jealous when it was anyone else's turn, however I still thought it was worth it!!<br />

Another note to self- Bounce houses are definitely worth it!!! I think the adults may have had just as much fun as the kids playing in the blow-up bus. Adam LOVE LOVE LOVED it!!!! So did all of his little friends. It didn't hurt that Tom got a super great deal on it, and got it for like half of what it usually costs.<br />

When the party was over we stayed at my parents' house and hung out for a little bit. As I was going back through to watch the video from his party I noticed we didn't get Adam singing Tom thought he was turning the camera on when he was turning it off and them recorded his leg, feet, and table for about 40 minutes after the cake and song. At first I was super upset, I went for a super long walk around my parents neighborhood to calm down. Then came back feeling stupid because it doesn't matter that we didn't get it on video. What matters is that everyone had a wonderful time and Adam had the time of his life. At least we got some good pics to capture the moment. And it's goodbye <strong>ONE</strong>derland and hello Terr.... <strong>Two</strong>s. Don't know whether I would call them terrific or terrible, but I'm quite hopeful they will be TERRIFIC!!Tom and Layne Fenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08587520677852257775noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894637574671938234.post-23908046659321682752012-04-25T00:32:00.003-07:002012-04-25T00:38:10.657-07:00just chillin<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

November 14th, 2011. We met Anna Tom's cousin for the first time on this day. She is living here in Vegas with Tom's mom. She has a passion for photography and created this collage out of some of the shots she got. I love the one up in the corner of Adam picking his nose, because of the story to it of course. Tom told Adam that he can only pick his nose if he wipes the boogers on Nana or Grandma. hahaha Are we creating bad habits?? :)Tom and Layne Fenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08587520677852257775noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894637574671938234.post-45433276366083316292012-04-25T00:25:00.001-07:002012-04-25T00:25:34.606-07:00families can be together "to Infinity and Beyond"<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We LOVE Halloween. Adam had such a wonderful time. He caght on to "trick or treat" rather quickly. I'm sure he was thinking that this is the best-- all I have to do is say "trick or treat" and people give me candy!! Sweet! He dressed up as Buzz Lightyear and Ellie was a sweet little Jack o' Lantern. She slept through most of Halloween. Adam got a ton of candy, which was awesome for us!!! :) I love having a toddler that can trick or treat and share his candy!!</div>

Ava Espiritu invited us over after the "trunk or treat" for spaghetti and dessert. I think Adam had about 20 meatballs-- maybe even more than that. We had a great time as a family and with Nana and Popi. We all stayed up way past our bedtime, but it was worth it. And Adam crashed within 2 seconds of being strapped in the car.Tom and Layne Fenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08587520677852257775noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894637574671938234.post-86633787882803745962012-04-24T23:58:00.001-07:002012-04-24T23:58:53.101-07:00after ellie's arrival<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

That yawn pretty much says it all. Ellie was born on September 14th, 2011. She weighed 7lbs exactly and was a beautiful, healthy baby. Her pediatrician said she is a model baby, because she is so tall and skinny. She latched on right away, which was a massive relief compared to what I went through trying to nurse Adam. These photos are from our first week home with our newest addition... Eleanor Ann Fender! <br />

Look at those proud grandparents!! Adam is such a great brother too. He ignored her the first couple days... I think he thought she was going to be leaving. Haha But once he realized that she was goig to be sticking around for a while his demeanor changed. He is soo sweet with her. One time when she was about 2 weeks old we were hanging out watching tv and ellie was in her bouncer, she started crying and Adam went and sat next to her and held her hand and she stopped immediately. She sure loves her big brother and he loves her!<br />

So I had to get at least one picture of Adam and his pet fish in here. The story is that Adam went to Parowan for the fair with Nana and Popi, and he won these two fish all by himself playing the throwing game I think. Anyways, he loved them and named them Nemo and Dori. Nemo and Dori were not doing so hot after the drive down to Vegas but Nemo ended up pulling through. We told Adam that Dori went to live with Heavenly Father. A couple months later the pordelain express was Nemo's fate too. Our first pets and I'm afraid we didn't start off on the best foot. It was soo sad. When Nemo died I'm not sure Adam noticed. And no...w e still haven't had that conversation with him. I'm not sure we will have any more pets for a while.<br />

I was soo overwhelmed at everyone's generosity and the beautiful clothes and diapers that we got for Ellie. She is going to be the best dressed girl ever. I guess I was planning on having her wear all of Adam's old clothes but with bows on her head-- but now-- she won't have to do that thanks to all of our wonderful friends and family. I got a little emotional because this actually seems more real now than ever, and sometimes I don't actually believe that we will have a new baby girl in a month. I will post some pics that Ashley took once she gets them to me. I still have no camera. :( if anyone knows someone who has one they don't want I'd be happy to take it off their hands or buy it for a fair price. We just cannot afford to get a new one quite yet. Maybe when Tom starts working a day job again. I guess I just have to have patience. (and figure out how to get my crappy phone pics on the computer)<br />

(Love this picture of Adam and Matix!)<br />
Also, my wonderful doctor is going to let me try to v-back... so on Wednesday we nailed down the plan, which is for me to go into natural labor and not be induced-- he is giving me until the 20th-- a little after my due date, which is the 14th. By then, if she is not coming on her own, I will have another c-section. However, after talking to a lot of my friends who have given birth naturally-- I'm somewhat terrified and don't know if I've made the right choice to give it a try. Hopefully everything will work out for the best either way. So excited and nervous!! Can't believe it's right around the corner.Tom and Layne Fenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08587520677852257775noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894637574671938234.post-265570986623148362011-04-19T13:11:00.000-07:002011-04-19T13:16:59.678-07:00an interesting week<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;">last tuesday morning started out with blood. i noticed as i was showering that the water looked red, but of course thought nothing of it. as i stepped out of the shower, more red dripping all over the floor. immediately my first thought was, i must've cut myself pretty bad shaving; second thought, i didn't shave this morning; third thought, period;fourth, i'm 17 weeks pregnant-- this is not supposed to happen. so i called for tom and of course him being the smooth operator that he is said we're going to the hospital (since my doctors office didn't open for another 3and a half hours). he immediately got out of bed threw some clothes on got adam's bag packed and got him up and ready to go. meanwhile, adam knew something was up... he was really good and did everything tom asked him the first time. when tom sat him on the couch while we were getting everything together, he just sat there looking at us with his hands folded. my precious little boy. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;">so we left the house went to sarah and chris', who, thank goodness chris and conner, were actually awake already and we dropped adam off with them and tom and chris gave me and the new baby a blessing, the spirit was soo strong and i'm so thankful for the priesthood.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;">a hop skip and almost 4 hours in the hospital later, they were able to say that the baby was ok and i needed to see my obgyn, dr swainston.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;">upon doing an ultrasound, dr swainston found that my placenta and cervix were far enough apart and neither were on top of my scarring from my previous c-section. so pretty much, everything looked good and he had no explanation for why i might be bleeding. he concluded that maybe i was pushing myself too hard or possibly it was stress related or something weird happened when the placenta was attaching and this was my body's way of fixing things. and he said most likely its a girl. then he prescribed at least a week of bed rest.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;">so here i am not even halfway through my pregnancy on bed rest. it's amazing how guilty you can feel when on bed rest. i feel guilty that other people are playing with adam and tom is doing everything, that other people are helping us and bringing us meals and that i can't do anything even though i pretty much feel fine. it is a strange experience. i bled 3 days in a row, but have been fine since friday. today i will go in to see what the verdict is.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;">in this week...</span></div><ul><li><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;">i've watched more television than i ever wanted to</span></div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;">i've read 3 books and restarted and am in alma of the book of mormon</span></div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;">i've gained some amazing personal revelation through my reading and prayers</span></div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;">adam got an allergic reaction to something and had hives and a fever for 2 and a half days (still not sure what caused it) it started at the doctors office so maybe he is allergic to the doctor, oh and yes he got 3 shots that day too, but the hives started before he received the shots.</span></div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;">adam ran away from home (funny story really), the front door was open, we always let adam play in the courtyard, he came inside and picked up tom's shoes and was hugging them. tom took them away from him and said that they were dirty and were for feet only, not our hands. of course, adam got mad and yelled and then sweetly said bye-bye and went outside to pout. about 5 minutes later i said are you ready to come home now? and he said no!(what are we going to do with this headstrong little boy of ours-- ha he has tom's stubbornness and my... well... stubbornness. )</span></div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;">tom did all the work around the house-- with a little help from friends and family</span></div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;">i laid around all day every day! (i know it sounds nice, but a girl could go crazy-- really when you have a week off of work and other people are taking care of your kid... there are a million and half different things you can think of that you should be doing- but doctor's orders-- you can do nothing)</span></div></li>
</ul><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;">last but not least, i need to say thank you to everyone who helped out and to heavenly father for answers to prayers and blessings and for the gospel and a ward family-- i really don't know how people live without it. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br />

Awesome, right?</div><div style="text-align: center;">well yeah... except the past 2 nights have been a different story. i don't know what has gotten into him or why he has no desire to sleep at night, but he wakes up and when we try to lay him back down, he says "no.. no" and he will cry if we leave him in there on his own, but when we bring him into bed with us he won't just relax and sleep unfortunately either. we make sure he has a bottle if he is hungry, has his binky and teddy, change his diaper- but that still isn't enough. he doesn't even want to lay down. he wants to sit up and talk and be loud and take turns cuddling all over daddy and mama and kicking us AND needless to say we can't get any sleep!! last night this lasted for almost 4 hours. we NEED to start getting our sleep.. i mean i'm already exhausted because my body is trying to make a baby-- but this lack of sleep thing is really wearing on tom and i both. any suggestions????</div>Tom and Layne Fenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08587520677852257775noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894637574671938234.post-46364015013429976792011-01-31T09:53:00.000-08:002011-01-31T09:57:30.980-08:00poo poo in the potty!<div style="text-align: center;">adam is soo smart. he is doing all sorts of new things. he loves to talk... he says:</div><div style="text-align: center;">tickle</div><div style="text-align: center;">mama </div><div style="text-align: center;">dada </div><div style="text-align: center;">dad</div><div style="text-align: center;">papa</div><div style="text-align: center;">seth</div><div style="text-align: center;">ian</div><div style="text-align: center;">peepee </div><div style="text-align: center;">poopoo</div><div style="text-align: center;">baba</div><div style="text-align: center;">baby</div><div style="text-align: center;">ball </div><div style="text-align: center;">car</div><div style="text-align: center;">cookie</div><div style="text-align: center;">here you go</div><div style="text-align: center;">there you go</div><div style="text-align: center;">go go go</div><div style="text-align: center;">doggy</div><div style="text-align: center;">adam</div><div style="text-align: center;">audrey</div><div style="text-align: center;">bye bye</div><div style="text-align: center;">hi</div><div style="text-align: center;">see ya</div><div style="text-align: center;">thank you</div><div style="text-align: center;">please</div><div style="text-align: center;">and those are just the words he says on his own</div><div style="text-align: center;">he will also say just about anything else you tell him to say...</div><div style="text-align: center;">plus..</div><div style="text-align: center;">he has gone poo in the toilet 2 times already and tells us when he goes... he'll even bring me the diaper to change him... love it!!!! this means that there is hope that adam will be out of diapers before the new baby comes!!! yipee!!!!<br />

you'll never guess what happened as ethan was driving it home.... no... guess again.... okay let me tell you-- he's driving along and out pops a little mouse from the air vent wondering why his little world is all of a sudden moving and why the air is blowing out-- yes a mouse-- so he crawls across the dash, looks out the window, crawls across again to check things out and notices ethan looking at him so dives back into the air vent. disgusting!! i'm just glad i wasn't driving it. (so now i have told tom we need to get ryan over to our house to make sure the little mouse didn't leave any friends behind) ethan and tom found it hilarious and i found it revoltingly hilarious because seriously who has a mouse living in their car?<br />
so, i go to leave for work this morning and i'm like dude, where's the truck?? yes! gone! it had disappeared, then i thought, hmm... maybe tom pulled it into the garage after ethan and megan left last night. NOT THERE!! so i run upstairs and i ask tom, "dude, where's your car?" and he's like "haha very funny". it was not funny one little bit. i left for work and tom got on the phone with the police to file a report, and they let him know that it was towed by our HOA. yes , we knew the rule about not parking on the street but was it legal for them to take our truck ehile we were sleeping, with no warning whatsoever and they didn't even leave a note behind. needless to say, we were livid. then, tom called and went down to the towing company (thank you paris) with our sick baby ,mind you, in the freezing cold, to get our truck, and they wouldn't give it to him because my name was on the registration. so i had to leave work to go all the way down there to sign the papers to release the car and pay the $200 to get our truck out. as tom was driving the truck out i noticed a bright green sticker on the window that i had never seen before. long story short, they put the warning sticker on our car at 9:45pm last night and towed our car at 3:00am this morning, while we were sleeping! and get this... on the sticker it said the time and date it was placed as well as instructions that if the vehicle was not moved by November <u><strong>25th</strong></u> then it would be towed. Hello people... <strong>it is only the</strong> <strong>24th</strong>!!!!!!!! the towing company wouldn't give us our money back, because they said it is not their responsibility to read the sticker. all i have to say is... we better get our money back and our HOA better never steal our truck from our front yard while we are sleeping EVER again. that is not legal, and i will do whatever it takes to get our money back. aren't HOAs supposed to be for the good of the homeowners? not to cause extra burdens for them, etc. can someone please tell me who ever thought of having an HOA in the first place? and what good comes from it? because all the HOA has done for us is give me headaches... we pay them every month for this??????<br />
however... it is thanksgiving... and i am thankful that it wasn't stolen. things could always be worse.Tom and Layne Fenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08587520677852257775noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894637574671938234.post-58476613920566124952010-11-05T22:28:00.000-07:002010-11-05T22:28:16.641-07:00the little things in lifeI'm so thankful for the little things in life today:<br />
<ol><li>My hot shower this morning and Adam sleeping in.</li>
<li>My wonderful husband even though he had a depressing day at work was still in a great mood when he got home.</li>
<li>Getting my wedding ring re-sized finally so I can really feel like a married woman.</li>
<li>Barney and Friends-- yep you heard me-- the only thing Adam will actually sit still for for more than a minute. Love it!</li>
<li>Mom-- I was feeling pretty crappy. Tom took me and Adam to my parents' house and when my mom got home (even though I know she had to be exhausted from staying up so late) she played with Adam and fed him and even had him pick me some roses while I just relaxed. Thanks mom!!</li>
<li> Matt and Mandy's wedding (Congrats to them) and for the AMAZING fudge and the self discipline I had to only have ONE bite.</li>
<li>Adam's adorable laugh and the way he makes me feel like the funniest mom in the world.</li>
<li>A best friend who, even though I suck at phones and haven't hung out with her in ages, still loves me for me. I'm thankful we got to spend a little time together Ash. And I'm thankful that no matter how much time passes we will always be best friends. I know it really hasn't been THAT long-- but it feels like it okay so lay off.</li>

Tom and I were Bam-Bam and pebbles and Adam was our little Dino. He was practicing his "Rarrr" all week. But once he got into his costume he wouldn't do it. He was all smiles and cuddles even saying "cheese" for the camra. (what a ham) He was amazed that people kept giving him candy and thought that it was the coolest thing ever!! I of course forgot to get him a cute little pumpkin so he carried an ice cream bucket instead. Wish I would've gotten a picture of that, he wouldn't let it go. I think he thought it was magic... as long as he was holding it people would keep putting more stuff in it. Imagine that. He LOVED it even though all of "his" candy really ended up being mommy and daddy's. Oh yes... I love Halloween.</div>Tom and Layne Fenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08587520677852257775noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894637574671938234.post-80697798446167619952010-11-04T23:16:00.000-07:002010-11-04T23:24:46.427-07:00thankful for my forever familyToday I need to write about how thankful I am for Tom and Adam, my forever family. I love them both so much. I can't express how truly grateful I am to have such a loving husband who is always striving to become the best he can be. The best husband, best father, better in the gospel, better at his job... you get the idea. I love him so much, and truly need to thank him for that. I hope that I can do the same... <br />
And-- there is nothing in the world like having a son who can't even really talk yet, but can express his love for us so much already. What a joy Adam is to me. Today during his afternoon nap. (I pulled a Tom) I picked him up out of his bed and brought him in with me and we took a nap together. I haven't done that since he was a tiny baby, because he usually gets wiggly and can't sleep. But not today! He slept so good all cuddled up next to me and I couldn't help but think... this is my little slice of heaven for the day. :)Tom and Layne Fenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08587520677852257775noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894637574671938234.post-61704299746881020852010-11-04T15:43:00.000-07:002010-11-04T15:43:34.489-07:00Adam is turning ONE!!!<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff"><tr><td><a href="http://smilebox.com/play/4d546b354f5455774f54413d0d0a&blogview=true&campaign=blog_playback_link" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="303" alt="Click to play this Smilebox invite" src="http://smilebox.com/snap/4d546b354f5455774f54413d0d0a.jpg" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/?partner=samsclub&campaign=blog_snapshot" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="46" alt="Create your own invite - Powered by Smilebox" src="http://www.smilebox.com/globalImages/blogInstructions/blogLogoSmileboxSmall.gif" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td align="center">Make a <a href="http://www.smilebox.com/invitations/" target="_blank">digital invite</a></td></tr></table>Tom and Layne Fenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08587520677852257775noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894637574671938234.post-28435419043376867172010-10-19T21:28:00.000-07:002010-10-19T21:28:55.743-07:00life is good<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjxTDR794trR5A5XFHEq2Z1GPy7amFllnsUBzIy3UHbqvb7b49ZS35o5vycMlXWFv2RD7PWYfz4VfLvHBMgzEg1TLIWqNTBy2KZe02hLPPYOtHNPMZiFYmi4scTQwVZpySEFFYdCZ08F0r/s1600/random+011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjxTDR794trR5A5XFHEq2Z1GPy7amFllnsUBzIy3UHbqvb7b49ZS35o5vycMlXWFv2RD7PWYfz4VfLvHBMgzEg1TLIWqNTBy2KZe02hLPPYOtHNPMZiFYmi4scTQwVZpySEFFYdCZ08F0r/s320/random+011.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Adam and Audrey sure do love eachother.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> It is amazing how fast Adam started to walk. Ever since General Conference, he will not crawl anywhere anymore. It is the funniest thing when he gets super tired but refuses to crawl. Tom and I get a kick out of watching him stumble around. He thinks he is such a big boy too.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwSlYW-jhbBGKVLQfX_nUvST6SvtfjrmDvjKdjE9m-XHuSgsrczuNkwVnQV-mbGEUfQnGvB_x-50Z2I8_nq5Q' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">He loves to do pull ups just like his daddy. Whenever he sees the pull up bar he wants up. it is hilarious how excited he gets. He seriously is getting so smart-- for example-- if you show him how to do something once- he will do it on the first try. Even when you aren't trying to teach him anything. Like about a month ago, when I was getting ready in the morning and I was opening the cabinet to get something, he came right over and hasn't stopped opening cabinets since. Which has forced me to see just how badly we need to finish baby proofing our house. So I got some cabinet locks and plug covers and hopefully we will be good to go soon. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Life is good!!</div><a name='more'></a>Tom and Layne Fenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08587520677852257775noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894637574671938234.post-69556575769107428522010-09-14T22:00:00.000-07:002010-09-16T21:03:52.443-07:00i have the most wonderful husband...So... <strong>Tom is now 26 years old</strong>-- and loving his new 10x10 wrestling mat which is on our dining room floor at the moment. He's already had Kyle, Paris, and Ryan over to roll with him on it, and I am glad he is getting good use out of it. <br />
He loves his new job and is doing really great at it. He was born to do marketing. He is so great at talking to people and most of all he believes in the company and what they are trying to do for people. <br />
He loves Adam so much. It is too cute to watch how they interact with eachother. They love eachother so much. Adam loves wrestling with daddy and playing and reading books.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWYcGYMw8bwYp0axUKQQ3caFUHbm1bRx291nG7U3yXOPFpzVpJpZX6S-_ryYneuo2cdERFqq5RG59zEA0JKeKKrw8xWkDWiqbrIPL7gtwesZdedJUe7UPGjZ5eW4l7n4WXaAms7EDu6iIa/s1600/more+of+adam+071.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" qx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWYcGYMw8bwYp0axUKQQ3caFUHbm1bRx291nG7U3yXOPFpzVpJpZX6S-_ryYneuo2cdERFqq5RG59zEA0JKeKKrw8xWkDWiqbrIPL7gtwesZdedJUe7UPGjZ5eW4l7n4WXaAms7EDu6iIa/s320/more+of+adam+071.JPG" /></a></div><br />
The only problem is that Tom loves Adam so much that he can't just let him cry every once in a while. Which is why we are still trying to get Adam sleeping through the night. But as long as daddy keeps running to the rescue it might never really happen. Although the past week he has slept through the night until last night-- when Tom decided he wanted to cuddle with him in the middle of the night... oh what am I going to do with him.<br />
But the most recent reason he is the most wonderful husband ever is because... Ethan and Megan were married last Saturday night and as we were leaving (because we wanted to get Adam to his bed) they were starting to dance their "first dance" which was to <strong>OUR</strong> song. (<span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Feels Like Home)</strong></span> To my great surprise, Tom asked me to dance right there in the parking lot and we had the most amazing parking lot slow dance/make out session. It truly made my week. We love eachother!! <br />
