#1!

Well, our #3 had his #1....and I forgot to blog about it!  Probably because it was pretty uneventful.  Braxton's football season has pretty much taken over our lives leaving little room for anything else.  So, we didn't even celebrate on his actual birthday, we did it about 5 days later.  We had a small cake and he got a couple of toys.  Nothing too exciting.  He was very unsure of the cake at first, as he is with all food, but once he tasted it, he couldn't get enough. 

 Not quite sure what's going on, why we are singing to him and why this flame is coming towards him.  (Yes that was a tea light candle, we were very unprepared)

 This is stinkin good!!

More please...

Didn't you hear me? MORE!!

 This was his main gift. 

 Not quite sure what to do with it, but he loves the sound effects it makes.

 Braxton takes him for a spin and it's pretty fun.....

Whoa...too fast! 

We are very blessed to have this funny kid in our family.  He truly is such a joy to have around.

Trick or Treat

October just flew by this year!  I had good intentions of doing fun things with the kids, but there just was never any time.  We didn't even carve pumpkins until the night before Halloween.  My parents came out and we made it up to Burt's Pumpkin farm, our annual tradition.  Then the trunk or treat/chili cook off with our ward.

 Choosing a costume for Hailey is always such an ordeal.  My idea of what she should be and her idea are never even in the same category as each other, so we end up compromising.  She always wants to be something flashy, usually immodest and I want her to be something cute.  So we settle on flashy and modest.  This year she had seen a "miss America" costume in a catalogue and was fixated on getting that costume.  I tried to convince her to get a cute witch costume that I had seen and she refused...finally out of frustration she says, "Mom, you just want me to be UGLY!"  It was hard not to laugh.  We ended up agreeing on this Spider countess costume.  I put flashy makeup on her and she was modest, win win.

 Logan's second Halloween.  I realize he's only one and he could careless, but he looked cute non the less.  He kept the hat on for about 2 seconds.

 Braxton picks his costumes based on the accessories that come with it.  This one had a cool machete so he was sold!

 Logan practicing for trick or treating.

 Hailey's ghost

 We went to the Crosby's again for dinner and trick or treating.

CANDY!!!  Once Logan figured out what people were putting in his pumpkin he was loving it!  He ate so much candy.
