Halloween

Ok, so I know I'm behind on my blogging, but in my defence I just got Breaking Dawn and everything is being neglected (blog, husband, house, kids....) :) So here is the Halloween blog...

We went trick-or-treating with Brian's sister Angie, her husband, Jared and their adorible little girl Dani.


Here they are trick-or-treating. Abby went last year and caught on quick, and this year was Dani's first and she also caught on quick. They didn't want to go home.


Carson was awake for the first few minute of the outing then...he zonked out!


When we got home we had to inspect the candy and I was very impressed with Abby's loot. I think I may dich some and replace it with a toothbrush...


We also went to our ward's trunk-or-treat. It was a good time. We started off with dinner a yummy nacho bar. Then we had a little parade of costumes and headed outside for the fun part.

Abby and Carson waiting to go. Abby (princess), Carson (frog).



Abby had a ball. After dinner she frosted a cookie and then proceded to lick all of the frosting off leaving the cookie all bare again. We contemplated taking it back for someone else to use...they'd never know the difference. :) I know EWW!


Carson had a good time too...check out that gummer!

Daddy Daugher Time

So these pictures are a few days old, but I couldn't help but post them! Brian is such a good daddy! Abby loved playing the guitar with him.



She's a natural.


And I thought there was nothing hotter than a guy who plays the guitar...well there is...a guy who plays the guitar WITH his daughter.

Island Park/Yellow Stone

This weekend we went with Brian's family up to Island Park, ID. We left on Friday morning and arrived there at about 4:30 tha night. Rod, Brian's dad, rented a beautiful cabin for us to stay in. On Saturday we went into Yellow Stone and visited Old Faithful, Firehole Falls, Norris and a few other places in between. On Sunday we headed into West Yellow Stone and spent the day eating, shopping and visiting the bear/wolf museum there. On Monday we woke up, cleaned, packed, and came home. It was a fun trip, but too short! We would have LOVED to stay a few more days!! But we really enjoyed ourselves! Thanks again Rod and Patrice!!

Here are some pictures from the trip:

Abby and her Cousin Dani in their tent:


Abby really is not trying to put her in a head lock; she is giving her a hug.


Us at Old Faithful.


Abby at Firehole Falls.


This guy was CRAZY!! He had hiked the ledge that he is sitting on (it's only about 1 1/2 feet wide!) to get a picture of the falls. I was very nervious watching him as he walked back up to the parking lot carrying all of his equipment.


Carson having a good 'ol time.

All of us in front of the cabin.

4 months old

So today Carson is 4 months old. I can't believe how fast it has gone by...seriously it feels like yesterday I was complaining about the back aches, the swollen ankles, the constant need to pee, and the never ending movement inside my belly. I just wanted to take a few minutes and gloat about our adorable little guy. He has been such a fun addition to our family; with his gummy grin that melts your heart and his constant babbling and cooing. It makes me sad to think that he is getting to big, but I love to see the milestones. I put him in his bassinet last night and realized that we need to transition him into his crib. He is just getting SO big. I'm not sure where he fits in the percentiles...we have an appointment on Thursday; I'll let you know after. As of now he 25 inches long and weighs 17 lbs.

Snow

So yesterday when we woke up Abby was TRILLED to see the snow. It was not easy for her to understand why she couldn't go play in it right then. I had to explain to her that we had to go to church, then eat lunch, and have "quiet time" THEN we could go play in the snow. She fairly compliant, but asked about it NONSTOP! When we finally got out there she was in HEAVEN. She loved making snowballs and throwing them at mommy and daddy. We also made a snow temple. I guess since it was Sunday that was appropriate. :)

Her making the snow temple.


Somehow I got to be the target...even though I was holding the camera.


She loved making bum prints in the snow too!! Each time she'd plop down on her bum she would giggle.
