Having a cupcake

For my birthday, Mike brought over Sweet Tooth Fairy Cupcakes.

Yummy!

The next day, I was one the phone with my mom, and Dalton took advantage of my distraction and helped himself to a chocolate cupcake:

Since he's too cute for words, and was very proud of himself, I had to take a million pictures.  Smart little guy!

Happy Thanksgiving

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

Ours was pretty low-key, but it was fun.

We made a huge Thanksgiving dinner,

celebrated Mike's birthday,

and then watched "Ice Age Christmas" on TV :)

Dalton helped himself to one of the truffles:

 

He obviously enjoyed it :)

I didn't get any good pictures this year...  :(

By the time dinner was ready, everyone was starving, so we said a prayer and ate.

I didn't even think of pictures until after.

I even dressed everyone up.

As soon as dinner was over, the boys stripped down and put on sweats.

Mike was the smart one.

He wore his "Thanksgiving pants."

Anyway, I hope everyone had a great day!!!

Baby Love Yogurt

Baby loved his yogurt.

He also loved smearing it on the walls, the thermostat, and on himself.

Cute.

Hide and Seek

At our house, we think hide & seek is the funniest game ever!

We never plan to play hide & seek.

The boys will all just suddenly disappear, and then we will hear a distant,

"Mom!  Dad!  FIND ME!"

Dalton usually gives away the hiding spot.

But that's ok, because it's always the same hiding spot.

And when they hear us getting close, they jump out and scare us.

It works every time :)

LOVE these guys!

Smile

 These pictures always make me smile!

Preschool Art

I love Saxon's preschool art, but since he brings home art everyday, we can't save all of it.

So, here are some pictures of his artwork:

Left: Spider head, black cat, skeleton holding a pumpkin, and Frankenstein.

Right: All about me face

This one I thought was hilarious...

Saxon colored his fireman's whole face red.

His teacher asked him why and he said "because he's hot..."

Like...it should have been obvious...LOL

Left: holding up some of his favorite artwork

Right: Making a witch out of shapes

Left: One of Saxon's very own drawings.  He said it's a house with a pool and a hot tub and an elevator and people jumping in.

Right: Saxon said, "We use our hands as trees and we put leaves on them and a really sun and foam clouds.  Just foam clouds.  I don't know about this..."

Fall Colors 2011

Every year in October, we drive down the canyon to see the fall colors.

This year we drove all the way to the top to walk around for a while.

It was beautiful!

I love this face!

It's so hard to get bubs to look at the camera, but when we do, it always turns out to be one of my favorite pictures.  Check out those blue eyes!

Dirty face!!!

This little guy thought that he would taste the dirt every so often...

On the way back down the mountain, Nate stopped with the boys to let them check out the waterfall...

Cabelas with Grammie

While my mom was in town, we went to Cabelas to pick up a few things, and we made it just in time to watch them feed the fish:

Taking Inventory

After trick-or-treating, we spent the rest of the night counting and sorting candy.

Bridger was excited!

Dalton...I don't know what to say about this face.

Brittany and I laughed until we cried looking at this picture...

What was going through his little head?

Bridger's "roadkill"...

And eating the roadkill...gross :)
