Santa is coming to Town

Our ward had their Annual Christmas Part on the 2nd. I used to love going to these when I was growing up, its so fun to visit with everyone, have some yummy food and start the holiday season. Now... well it's a little different with kids :) But, I wouldn't have it any other way. We are developing traditions and memories that I hope will be something they remember enjoying. As you can see Santa came and Lyndon was very excited he told Sants what he wanted and everything... A skateboard ( What 3 year old asks for that??? We will have to see). Bausten, well he was not so thrilled, I know I know he looks like he is being tortured but I had to have a picture. I don't think any serious damage was done :) We enjoyed the evening and ended with walking out to a snowy winter night... perfect. I hope you all are having a wonderful Christmas Season, it goes by too fast anymore and my goal for this year is to just enjoy every minute.

Happy Halloween

This year we had a lot of Halloween fun! Lyndon as you can see was a Firefighter, he loves his costume and still pulls it out to play in once in a while. He is always talking about being a Firefighter when he grows up. In fact, while my Aunt watched the boys one night a firetruck zoomed by her front yard with all the lights and sirens going. Lyndon ran to the window and yelled " I 'm a firefighter too!!!" so we will see if this passion sticks around :) Bausten was a puppy, and yes I'm his momma but I think he was the cutest puppy around !! He even left the hat on which shocked me but, I was so glad!
Mel and Ryan invited us to go witht them to their ward's Truck-or- Treat, all the of kid's had a great time and the girls were SO CUTE in their Costumes. Grandma Jill and Grandpa Dave came too and were able to see the kid's all decked out. It was a great night, even Bausten would have to agree he kept grabbing everyone's suckers and running as fast as his little legs could carry him, this kid LOVES the sweets!
We then went to My Dad and Step- mom's Trunk-or-Treat a couple day's later... Also, lot's of fun and LOTS more candy.
On Halloween I had already spent so definatle fun and Quality Halloween time with thte boys that Tyler asked to take them. So the boy's were able to go with Tyler and Jerica that evening. THey came home with King size candy Bars and full buckets, the boy's were thrilled!! We then had a party at my mom's house with the whole gang, even Daisy the puppy Bumble bee :) All in all, I think this Halloween was a definite success.
