Anniversary and New Babies

Well, I guess I'm not very good at keeping this updated.

October 5th was mine and Dallon's first anniversary. I can't believe it's already been a whole year! I'm excited for our future together and amazed at how fast time goes by! We went to park city for the weekend where we visited the olympic park, did some swimming, browsed main street, and found the most amazing candy isle (ever). We had a lot of fun and were able to stay up late eating candy and watching tv, haha. My mom also bought us a groupon to Cornbellys to go through the maze and the haunted houses. We wandered around the maze for a while then took a shortcut to get us out that ended up cutting us into a whole different maze! Oops! The haunted house was SO FUN though and it was such a fun night! Also, we haven't tried our cake top yet! I think we are both dreading eating year old cake...

Work pretty much takes up most of our time...

Dallon is working IT at the University Guest House now. They transitioned him into the position over the summer but now he is the full time IT guy. It is a really great opportunity for him and he seems to enjoy it most days.  They are even setting him up to take some Certification classes that can lead to a pay raise and hopefully/eventually a better job!

We finished transitions at the day care a couple weeks ago. The center moves the children by classes instead of age so every september/october everyone moves up and the baby room gets a fresh batch of babies. As of the first week of october we have had 7 babies. The oldest is 5 mo. and the youngest 8 weeks and next week we will get the 8th baby who will be 6 wks! Two are premie twins who are on heart monitors which was nerve wracking at first but we haven't had an incident yet so I'm not too worried about them. And people are always asking: there are two adults, Me and the Lead Teacher, the ratio is 1:4.
All I can say about that is WOW! Props to all you guys who are having babies right now because I came home the first week crying to Dallon about how much I dislike babies. Really, it just takes some time to get used to having so many little humans screaming bloody murder in your ears while you try to figure out why they are so upset. I have already been puked on and peed on and I come home smelling like spit up everyday (but I still haven't been pooped on!!!). They really are super super cute though and I feel like I'm learning so much from them! I'm just glad I get to come home to Dallon, our TV, sleep and free time.
