5 Months Later

Awww, our sweet little baby.

Look how much he has changed!! We can hardly believe it! Still super cute and sweet though.

I've been busy

This a small cuboard my great grandpa made for my mom when she was little. I used when I was a little girl too. It means a lot to me, but it defnitely needed a new paint job. It was green and blue when we first started, but of course I don't have a picture of it like that. Anyway, before all the scraping and sanding, and scraping and sanding, and scraping and sanding (you get the picture)...

and after- Dallin wanted to be in a picture. And it only took us 3 years to do this!!

I got this at the local goodwill store. It was $8 and we painted it red. Now I LOVE it. Sorry no before pic though. Now we have some pictures on top of it and looks great, and so functional for the kids to hang their coats on!

Another after, she just wanted to be in a picture I think.


I've been wanting a rocking chair since we moved here to MO. We sold our old one back in CA, and I've been missing it. I got this one at a garage sale for $5.

After some sanding and smoe black spray paint. I also found a cute brown chair cushion at the local goodwill, it was $2! I had looked at the fabric store for padding to make a cushion and the padding alone was $12.

I asked Brylee to give me a pretty smile and this is what I got. hmmmm

Halloween

A few pictures from Halloween, took me long enough... I know.

This was at our ward trunk-or-treat. Brian wouldn't let me go without a costume, so I ended up being a fat referee, yikes. Brian was Nacho Libre, Dallin was Dash, Cody was Robin, Brylee was Pink Girl, and Tate was the Incredible Hulk. It was a fun night!

Our funny faces and the pumpkins we carved.

King of the mat

A take down challenge. Start with the smallest boy and add the next one bigger. Dallin lasted for a while! He is absolutely loving wrestling!

Quick Trip

We were lucky enough to have some visitors today! Uncle Todd and Aunt Crystal came, and they brought cousin Henry with them. A little later Aunt Brooke and baby Pearl came too. We had a fun visit with them, even though it was a quick one.

Cody got a hold of Uncle Todd's camera and took a LOT of pictures. This one of Henry isn't too bad.

Here Cody took a picture of himself...nice.

Finding lady bugs with Aunt Crystal.

More lady bugs and 'dirt houses,' as Brylee was saying. (AKA small handfuls of dirt)

Cody, doing what Daddy is always telling him NOT to do.

Uncle Todd got some good smiles out of Brylee.

Cody throwing the frisbee.

Boys being boys.

Crystal was nice enough to send Dallin off on the bus.

Aunt Crystal got some good action shots of Dallin riding his bike. He has gotten really good this last month.

Thanks for coming Todd, Crystal, Brooke, Henry, and Pearl! It was good to see you all!
