Things that go bump in the night....

Ah trying to take pictures of little kids so fun!Connor was Scooby Doo and Crew was a little monkey!Trick or Treating at the neighbors house so much fun!carving pumpkins, Connor is saying Cheese but not looking at me oh well.Connor was hugging his big pumpkin from Grandma and Grandpa's garden.Daddy cutting the tops off.Here are just some random pictures of the boys that I have been meaning to post so here they areThey were watching mickey mouse on the computer and Crew was resting his head and it was darling so I took a picture.This is from when Connor tried his costume on to make sure it fit. Crew fell asleep after "eating" an Oreo it was super cute.

What a great Halloween we had this year. Connor is finally at the age where trick or treating means something to him. We started the celebrations at our ward party where we had a Chili cook off and costume competition. I made my Grandma's chili and it turned out pretty good and it totally reminded me of the Ward Halloween parties I had as a child. Then we did some trunk or treating which was super fun to see Connor saying trick or treat and holding out his little pumpkin candy bucket thing and then politely saying thank you. It was adorable! That was all on Saturday then we went to my Mom's on Sunday to celebrate Lacey and Kevin's birthday and that was a blast and the "Cafe Rio" salad's were amazing. Then Monday night we carved our pumpkins and Connor loved that and was really excited about putting them on the porch and we got the boys in their costumes and went trick or treating around our block it was pretty fun and Connor was loving all the free candy. I think his favorite part was when people came to our house and he got to give them candy. He was standing by the door all night saying "their coming." All in all it was a great Halloween and we can't wait for next year when both boys with have a lot more fun!

Cabin in Autumn

We were lucky enough to head to my parent's cabin for the conference weekend and it is one of my favorite times of the year. There is nothing more nourishing to my soul than spending time in the mountains. It is especially spectacular in the fall when all the Aspen trees are bright yellow. Even though the boys "slept" terribly I still had a wonderful time and finally got to do some much needed scrapbooking. I love my parents and I am so grateful they are willing to share their cabin with a house full of crying babies. I forgot my camera so I don't have any pictures. We were also lucky enough to see the two Moose that live around there and a Doe and her Fawn twice nibbling the grass.

Trip to Star Idaho

We enjoyed fresh picked raspberries every morning.

"Only pick the purple ones!"

The boys enjoying a little swing.Who loves their Daddy?Connor first experience in a "big" pool it was a lot of fun even if his lips went blue after a few minutes.He was a little nervous but luckily his Daddy "braved" the cold water.Crew was ready to get in too, but I didn't bring him any swim clothes so he just dipped his toes in.They loves looking out the windows and unfortunately Connor was tall enough to reach the dead bolt so he kept escaping out the doors.Great picture Grandma! Why doesn't he hold still like this for me?Crew too cute and a slobbery mess but the next week his tooth cut through so that is why all the drool.Father and sons enjoying a little football in 3D.Mmm Watermelon.Connor was following Sienna around and they became fast friends.How cute is this picture?

Eating some ice cream....Or mostly getting it allover.Playing on a super fun playground that was luckily shaded so it wasn't too hot.And lots of fun running through the sprinklers and finally getting the nerve to pick up the hose and chasing people with it.

We were really lucky this summer to be able to take a fun vacation to visit our family in Star. It was great because we hadn't seen Kevin's brother and his family since before Connor was a year old so that was really nice to spend some time with them. We did a lot of things and took tons of pictures the boys had a great time and I know Connor is ready to go back and help Grandpa with any yard work, and picking things from the garden.
