New Beds

Before Donovan left I was willing to try anything so that boys would sleep by themselves. Alex does okay until Daddy spoiled him. But I don't blame Daddy for that. Anyways we bought new bunk beds. The boys loved them. Only wanted to play on the top bunk and not sleep. Finally I got them to sleep in the bottom together. But now Donovan just sleeps with his Dad (Derrick) and Alex sleeps with his dad too. I am hoping sooner than later Alex will be in his bed. I have tried everything to get them to sleep in their own bed. And to just think soon it will potty training time. Help ME

Trick-or-treat

We started the day off early and went firewood cuting. It wasn't ment to be early but we were up so we might as well make the most of the day.
Trinity in here second Halloween costume. I just wanted her to wear this for fun.

We were slacking on pictures and this is the only one of Alex in his full costume. Yep Alex decided to be a ninja. Not batman. I think it was because Aidan was a ninja. Good thing we have lots of costumes. Alex wasn't so sure about this asking people for candy but once he got some he liked it a lot. Allan and him sat in the car and ate a ton of candy.

Trinity in her cute costume. Nobody knew what she was but I thought she was cute. Thanks Laura.

Pumpkin Carving

Grandma Sue and Grandpa Kit bringing the giantic pumpkins. Alex carrying the treats because the pumpkins are too big.

Alex decorating them.

Alex did a great job of showing us how to carve the pumpkins and for the most part me stayed true to what he wanted. One pumpkin was all circle and the other was squared with Allan's added touches.

Alex is shooting all the bad guys.

Enormous Pumpkins

Look at all the fun when Grandpa Kit digs for huge pumpkins and Grandma Sue brings new pillow cases.
The new way to carve pumpkins!

No one of these pictures turned out. Always one of us was looking away.

Bapitism

This weekend I got bapitized. It was a great day. Mom, Kit, Laura, and Matt came out. I was a little nervous but it was easier than I thought it would be. Thanks to such great missionairies and Tracy for guiding me and the right direction. Nothing could have made this week any better if we were sick. Hopefully no one else got sick.

Batman and Spider Man

We started dressing up early. Donovan was being spiderman so Alex wanted to dress up. Thanks to Grandma Sue for the capes.

Here is Trinity. No costume for her. I was going to go get the duck costume Alex had when he was this little but I never did. I think I am going to make here a candy corn this year. I just have to get it done. I know only one picture of poor Trinity.

The best part about all this dressing up is we have some good video. It is forever long so you'll have to come to our house if you want to watch it.

San Diego Trip

First stop fish seeing spot. This octopus was very active. Allan took an amazing picture.

Getting eaten by a shark!

Second stop the beach!!! Wow was the water cold. Alex didn't want anything to do with it and Donovan loved it.

Alex liked digging though.

Donovan being tackled by the waves.

San Diego Zoo. What a big zoo and we walked it all.

Two monkeys!

This Panda was pretty funny. After eating it turns around on the rock and poops. The takes a long nap.

Donovan biff it trying to get off.
