Holiday Happenings

This past week has been a crazy but way fun week. My sister-in-law Natalie and her two boys flew in from Chicago this last week and has stayed with us for a few days. It has been fun having them in our home, and Chandler loved having Dillon and Wesley play with him. AND I totally benefit with them playing together because they wear him out, and then Chandler sleeps in until 9:30 or 10:00 the next morning! I have such cute nephews.

On Saturday evening, I went to the Mormon Tabernacle Christmas Concert with David Archuleta. I went with Natalie, her sister Brittany, and my brother Luke (and yes, they are dating!) It was such a fabulous concert and a great way to start the Christmas week! And I have to admit, David Archuleta was pretty amazing! I am grateful for this great evening I had with some of my family and I know that I was touched with the Christmas Spirit. I hope that you all have a Merry Christmas!

Wynn's wall

This has been Wynn's summer project, that is now finished!! We had lots of help from family and friends. Wynn couldn't have finished it without all the help!

Trunk-Or-Treat

We went to our ward Halloween Party on Saturday evening. It was so fun to take a little penguin with us! Chandler was acting so funny with it on and thought he was somethin' else! He loved it. We had a great dinner with soups and breads, and then went trunk or treating around the church.




Don't you just love his "cheeeeese" face? ....in all pictures...nice!

I think this was Chan's highlight of the evening. He found these under the serving table.

For the love..

....of OCTOBER!!

Oh, how I love the month of October. the crisp feeling in the air, hot chocolate in the mornings and evenings, the pumpkin patches on every corner, all the houses on the street decked out with pumpkins, hay-bells, and corn stalks! All the fun Halloween candy, and (my personal weakness), the fall M&M's!! These are just some reasons of why I love October! AND, not to mention, that this IS my birthday month too!! I will always love my mom for giving birth to me 3 days before Halloween! It has always been a fun birthday celebration with the spooky ghosts and goblins, and witches on their broomsticks knocking on doors! This month always goes by way too fast!
On Monday night, we soaked in a little bit of October by walking through Gardner Village. It was so fun! They kind of made it a WITCHES theme. On every corner, they had life-sized witches that looked so cool! The whole place was all lit up for Halloween, it was definitely a night to remember! They also had a little petting zoo for kids, which Chandler loved! (although, I'm not sure it was worth the 2 ear infections and breathing treatments that followed this night). .....SO FUN!

Final Picture Post

I think this is all. I was finally able to get them all on my blog! Thanks Chantel for our photo shoot!!!

Family Pictures part 2

Okay, I was able to upload more. Here are the rest of Chandler's pictures.

Family Pictures

We finally had some new family pictures taken by a good friend of ours. For some reason, I couldn't upload all of them onto my blog, so this is just a peek of some of them. There will be more to come. I think we were able to get a few good ones, even with Chandler not cooperating at all! But, I guess I was kind of expecting it too. I truly do love my two boys!
