First Snow

The Saturday after Greyson's surgery (November 10) we took Gavin and Greyson outside to play in the first snow storm we had this year.  Gavin loved it and Greyson was just excited to get outside.  Gaivn stayed out and played for hours!  He even loved the hot chocolate afterward (which he usually doesn't)

30

Well, since I have been 30 for MONTHS now...I guess it is officially time to BLOG about it:)

My birthday was October 2nd, I did turn 30 and it was a GREAT day!

We started out sleeping in.  Feed the boys and bathed them (the night before was bath night and we were all in horrible moods so we all went to bed) Then sold some stuff and made our way to breakfast at Burger King. After some Cinnamon Rolls at Burger Kings we made our way to Scheels in Draper/Sandy area (One of our new favorite stores)  We were there for about 2 hours scoping it out and enjoying each others company.  Gavin and I rode the Farris Wheel and played some fun games as well as got some pictures in their Staged Photo Booths they have placed around the store.  After Scheels we went to Barnes and Noble to get some stuff for YW that night then off to lunch at the Cow (Chick-Fil-A).  We then did more shopping at the Mall, Old Navy (where I got me some colored jeans:) and Seagull Book & Tape.  We did some grocery shopping and finished the day off with Pizza for dinner and my favorite cake (German Chocolate) with 30 candles on top!  I had Young Women's that night so it was all in all a great day!
 

The cake...and Pizza

All done!

Halloween

As you already know, the boys were Minions for Halloween this year.  We had a lot of fun finding, making, buying and putting together these customes and the Boys loved them.  On Halloween I picked up the boys from the sitters, came home, made dinner.  The boys ate really fast and were itching to get out the door.  We put the costumes on as fast as we could and headed out the door.  We just went around our little block and both boys had a blast (except for a couple mini meltdowns from Greyson because we weren't letting him walk by himself)  We started the night at 6, made it back home a little after 7, took some pictures, bathed the boys and were in bed by 8!  Gavin is really excited to go Trick or Treating next year!  All in all a successfully night!

Bed Head

The day after Halloween Greyson woke up with the CRAZIEST bed head!  Cutest 18 month old EVER!

Cute Gav

Isn't this kid just so cute?  He is such a little ham when the camera comes out!  I don't even have to pose him anymore!

Halloween Fun-ness

This year when Aunt Cathy was here visiting, we decided to go to the Spirit Halloween Store to walk around and see what we could find to Scare Gavin (He doesn't scare that easily)  When we were in there they had these Stalks that you put your head and hands in like you are being punished.  Cathy and I decided it would be funny to get pictures, and Gavin saw it and wanted to try it too, in the little kiddie one they had there as well!  Aren't we funny? :)

Gavin's School Halloween

Gavin gets to wear his Halloween costume 4 times this year.  Once for Music Class, once for Trunk or Treat, once for Preschool and once again tonight for Trick or Treating.  Here are the Pictures of Music Class and Preschool.  Love this kid:)

Carving Pumpkins 2012

This year was kind of CRAPPY for pumpkin carving.  First, I was sick last weekend so we couldn't go to the pumpkin patch :(.  So Monday on my lunch break I went to Harmons and picked up 4 pumpkins.  Mike got home from work late so we didn't start until 7.  Gavin again didn't want to help {because he didn't want to get his hands dirty} and Greyson was all about getting in everyones business and helping in anyway he can. In the meantime, the boys start getting cranky.  So I bathe them and we put them to bed.  Mike and I cut, gut, stencil, and carve all four pumpkins {one is just a disco ball} right before Mike goes to throw up!  And two of the pumpkins were rotted out and disgusting!  At least we can say we did it and they are done.  The boys loved them the next day!

Trunk or Treat

Last night we had Trunk or Treat for YWs.  It was a crazy busy night with Mike sick and me left to figure out {in an hour} how to decorate the Durango and take the boys by myself.  Here is the boys {the best picture we could get} before the Trunk or Treat and the Car decorated.  It was a great night and Gavin and Greyson loved it.  They can't wait to go Trick or Treating tonight!

I Love to See the Temple

On October 20th, my cousin was married in the Bountiful Temple.  It is SUCH a beautiful place.  We got some pictures of us and the boys around the Temple grounds with my iPhone that I loved and thought I would share and save in my 2012 blog book!
