Grandma and Grandpa's 50th

This last weekend we celebrated my grandparents 50th anniversary. It was really neat! The party was happenin' for old people I guess! Lots of people came to celebrate and eat cake. My grandparents danced and did the jitterbug! It was fun to watch them! I can't believe they made 50 years. That is a LONG time! I hope I make 50 years!

Our Next Baby BOY!!

That's right! Today we found out that Teeter #2 is another BOY!! No we are not disappointed that it isn't a girl. We are so excited to have 2 boys who can play together and be buddies! I can't wait to see if he comes out looking like Koen did or completely different.

Fair 2008

We took Koen to the Eastern Idaho State Fair yesterday and had so much fun! We went with Tyrell's sister Stacey and her finance Jacob. We ate lots of food of course and did lots of kid stuff for Koen. He got to ride on some rides, go to the petting zoo, and do art. He was too scared to ride alone on the rides so we went with him. Tyrell once and I went the second time. I didn't think that the little kid ride would cause any problems with the pregnancy so I am not worried about that. Koen also got to ride on the tractor train thing and he thought that was the best. He rode in the elephant car. He also did some art at the free kid zone activity center. He didn't like the animals as much I had expected. He definitely didn't want to touch or get too close!

Goin to the Temple

This weekend we have the opportunity to go to the temple with my little brother, Daren, while he gets his endowments! As exciting as this is it makes me sad. I hope I can make it through without crying because I know that this step is bringing him closer to leaving and not being her when my sweet new baby is born! Don't get me wrong I am so glad he has decided to go on a mission and serve the Lord and that he will hopefully touch someone else's life, but I have never sent a brother away for 2 years! I think it makes it harder that 3 months after he leaves there will be a new member of the family. It is also strange to think he is old enough to go! We are growing up so fast and it's scary!!! There is no more kids at home for my mom to have to look after.

On another note, we get to have our ultrasound on September 2 and hopefully the baby will cooperate so we can find out if we are having a boy or a girl. I will post about it.

Daren's Mission Call

My little brother received his mission call yesterday. I still think he is way too little to be getting called on a mission, but he really isn't! He is officially going to the California San Fernando Spanish speaking mission. He is going into the MTC on my mom's birthday, Oct. 29, 2008. That seems like so soon! I am excited for him and at the same time sad. He will not be here for the birth of the newest member of our little family! The baby will be almost 2 when he returns. I will have to send lots of pictures. I don't know if I can go when the take him to the MTC or when he officially leaves because I will be so emotional. I have never had a brother leave for 2 years before so this will be a new experience for me! The funny part of the whole thing is that he actually got the wrong mission call. He got a mission call for another Elder Snyder who lives in Utah so for a minute he thought he was going to the Washington Spokane mission and then he noticed the top had someone elses name on it. When he opened his book though it had the right name and the right mission call. He later got a hold of the other boy and he had also received Daren's call. It was kind of funny and I think Daren was worried for a minute that he wasn't going to know for another couple of weeks where he was going exactly.

Camping

This last week we went camping with some of Tyrell's family and Koen had a blast! He had been saying he wanted to go camping ever since we started talking about it. He didn't even know what it was, but he wanted to go! He and his twin cousin's played for hours in the creek that was nearby for the first two days. Then I wouldn't let him anymore cause he drank the water and it made him sick. He loved being outdoors for four days though. One of the big things we did while we were there was marshmallow roasting. This is because my mother in law said she wouldn't go unless we had lots of marshmallows. We ended up bringing a ton home we brought so many. The kids liked trying to roast their own, more like burn their own. They were fun to watch. We tried to get Koen to eat a smore, but he said he didn't like it without even trying it. Oh well he still had fun with the marshmallows.

Koen and the Sharpie

The other day I was cooking dinner and Koen was really quiet so I came to find out what he was up to. He had gotten a sharpie out of Tyrell's scripture bag and had drawn all over his leg and foot. I was not very happy, but at least he didn't get it on the carpet! He was very good about posing his drawings for me to take a picture though.
