Pretty Please with a cherry on top!

This post is for our wonderful Mother. Coop & I are begging you to let us use the excersaucer early! Here's our thinking, since he won't get to use it for the 2 weeks while we are in Wenatchee, he should get the chance to use this great present from his favorite grandma for the 2 weeks before Christmas. Take a look at this video of him in a borrowed excersaucer and just see how much he loves it!



Now how can you say no to that! Please, please, please Grandma! (for Mama's sake too!)

We are the champions!

As it was too cold (35 degrees) to take a picture outside after the Division 1 Championship Ultimate Game, we decided to take a picture of our new shirts in our nice warm house! It was a close game (11-8), but we pulled it off. Mindy, Josh & fam came and supported/watched Coop, who was there all warm & bundled cheering us on in his cute snow suit, but because we forgot our camera, we didn't get a picture. You'll just have to imagine!

Deck the Halls!

Cooper and I had fun "decking our halls" yesterday. It's so nice to finally be able to decorate now that Thanksgiving is over. We are looking forward to the First Christmas with our cute little guy!

He sure is our cute little bundle of JOY!

Just some cute pics

Just couldn't help but show these off. And take a look at that belly! He's putting on the holiday weight, I think he's aiming for Santa-look-alike!

I love digital cameras!

You may think this is a weird title for this collage of pictures, so let me explain. Normally, with a non-digital camera, I would only take 1-3 pictures so as not to use up the film, and hope that one of them would turn out. With digital, I can take billions of pictures and easily erase the bad ones. And then you have times (i.e. the pictures above) where you take billions of pictures and you don't have any to erase because your kid is so cute! So therefore, I love digital cameras ;-)

Broc's Birthday

The Utah gang (Bret, Mindy, Broc, Cassi + spouses and kids) got together to celebrate Broc's turning 27. This cake, although simple-looking, took 4 hours to create. Have you ever tried to free-hand a soccer ball? It's nearly imposssible to get all the angles and sides perfect. Eventually I just had to get out my soccer ball and trace around the pentagons and hexagons and then transfer that to the cake. All a labor of love though!

And after all that work, I still really like cake decorating! Amazing!

Goodness, that's alot of candles! ;-)

We can Dance!

Cutest Laugh Ever

Happy 2nd Birthday, Emma!

Emma turned two with friends and family to celebrate. We had a fun birthday party at "Old McDonalds" with Dora hats and party favors. We had lots of fun! I think Emma's favorite part was singing "Happy Birthday to You" and blowing out the candle. We love you, Emma!

Happy Halloween!

Dora, Superman, and Kitty Cat had a very fun Halloween! We had to bribe Ashlyn to wear the wig (she couldn't go trick-or-treating without it on.:)) Josh had fun dressing up as a toy army man (from "Toy Story"). We stayed up late the night before Halloween spray painting everything green. My favorite part is probably the cellophane-wrapped boots (the paint didn't dry, so we wrapped them up).:) Happy Halloween!

Halloween

Isn't he just so cute?

While trick-or-treating at Omniture, the boys just had so much fun they couldn't keep their eyes open any longer (ps And don't their mom's look pretty good too!)

If only!

Pumpkin Time

We had a fun time carving pumpkins for FHE on Monday night.

Coop wanted to carve the pumpkin by biting it.

But he didn't really like the taste!
