Happy Halloween!

It was a week full of Halloween parties at preschool, playgroup music time, and our ward's Trunk or Treat Halloween party Saturday night.

Loving the loot

Isn't this car just creepy? (not a real person... but freaked most the kids out for sure)

I took the kids out to the back yard for a couple candid shots... too cute! Gavin was impossible to get to hold still... silly monkey :)

Lovin me this shark... it was so fitting with his new 7 teeth and all :)

I could just nibble on these guys all day.. oh wait, I do! :)

He's THREE...

Yep, you read that right... I'm a mother of a THREE year old.. Where did the time go? How did it go so fast? I love this boy more than anything in the world... he's quirky, hilarious, strong willed (got that from both of us unfortunately), handsome, and will talk your head off whether you like it or not. I feel so blessed to be his mom. (most days!lol!)

He wanted barbequed hotdogs for dinner and a hotdog birthday cake. (Can you tell what his new love of food is?)

He loved opening all his presents! (Thank you everyone)

But his favorite present wasn't from his parents... it was from Grandma Jolley... A cool guy skate board. He actually slept with it last night! lol!

Happy Birthday big boy!

Inside...

Inside this little bundle of sweeetness....

...you'll find 4 teeth!! His top 2 came through a couple days ago!

Crazy kid wants to grow up already :(

The randoms...

Random pics of this last 2 weeks in no certain order...

Drew took his first swing on a swing... and LOVED it!

Bike rides and basketball with Grandpa after he got home from work... what a treat!!

Grandpa cuddles on the couch!

Carving Pumpkins!

Roasting Marshmallows and hot dogs twice! (Gavin has been begging to do this all summer!!)

Shaved Drews hair again!

Uncle Phil scaring Gavin!

A TRUE smile of Gavins!! He was so proud he got that piece of candy out of the scary bowl!

Relaxing outside!

Going on neighborhood walks DAILY.

Man... I LOVE vacations!!

After church pics

We took a couple pics after church on Sunday... too funny! I don't know how anyone photographs families with kids! It was crazy!!! Here are my favorite...

I surprised Holly with ties for her little guys... not knowing her husband had almost the exact tie!! What luck!!

Aren't they terrible?! lol!

Madsens Ranch

This morning we visited our friends the Madsens Ranch! They were so kind to let the boys play with all the animals!

The Cowboy hat was a hit :)

Gavin loved chasing the sheep! Poor little guys!

They got to go in the chicken coop and find an egg.. it was still warm. Gavin was stoked!

Doesn't this adorable!! I loved Bruins cowboy get up!

It made me miss the country feel I grew up with.. I hope someday I can have my kids experience country life living.

Splash Park

Holly and I took the boys to the Splash Park today... and boy did they have fun! It was a perfect day.. not too hot, not too cold. They just enjoy being with each other so much I'm so sad we're leaving tomorrow! We've had a WONDERFUL time... I soooo wish we lived closer! Maybe someday... (dreaming)... anyway, here's the pics from today! (Sorry for the pic overload recently... I want the hubby to see his boys!)

We finished the day off with some Thrifty's ice cream! YUM!
