Finally posting!

Hey family and friends. I am finally putting up pictures from October. We had a lot of fun and have been very busy. It's been a bit exhausting for me too. Mostly because we are expecting baby #3 and I am pretty sick and VERY tired. Our due date is May 23 and we are very excited. We will hopefully find out what this baby is around Christmas time. Jeff has been busy with School and work and I have been busy working and trying to keep from loosing my lunch and sanity. haha. We have really appreciated both sets of parents. These passed 4 weeks have been full of Grandma's and Grandpas and lots of attention which the boys needed and I didn't have the energy to give them. Thanks both Mom's and Dad's.

Happy Halloween!

On Halloween night Grant decided he didn't want to be a fireman after all but an elephant. Which he was last year. Embarrassingly enough both boys were the same as they were last year. I should have just used last years picture. ha ha.

Here the boys are ready for the church Trunk or Treat party.

Two little frogies

We have some close friends who are also our neighbors. The boys ADORE their daughter, here is Scottie and Clara dressed alike in their halloween costumes. We hadn't planned this, but it turned out cute they were both frogs for halloween.

Birthday party

The first thing Scott said on his Birthday when we wished him Happy Birthday was "Elmo cake". Good thing Elmo is supposed to be a red monster, this fits the red monster description. haha.

Preparing for Halloween

After getting back from our trip to La Grande we hit the ground running. We decided to carve pumpkins as a family. Grant actually stuck his hand in and cleaned out his pumpkin for the first time this year. Scottie, was a little unsure about things.

Trip to La Grande

The boys sat back and kicked their feet up for a week while their Grandma and I worked for 3 days making and canning Grape juice. We still didn't finish all of the grapes, but it was a great learning experience. The boys had a great time visiting Grandma and Grandpa. They got to do a lot of things.

Instead of carving pumpkins Grandma and Grandpa thought it would be fun to make cupcakes and decorate them. The boys REALLY enjoyed it too. Here is Grant's creation.

I had just announced that it was bedtime and to pick out a story to read. Both boys said they didn't want ME to read a story but GRANDPA. Sheesh!

On our trip to Boise I got to see my BEST friend Heather, her brand new house and new baby girl Shae. It was a short, but great visit.

We drove over to Boise for the day so the boys could see their cousins. Here is Scottie and Jason playing Jason's Garden. All the kids hit it off right away. You'd never have guessed they hadn't seen eachother for over a year.

Scottie riding horses with Uncle Dan and Bonnie. They warmed up after feeding them apples we picked at G-ma and G-pa's house.

The boys have been afraid of horses before, but for some reason if Uncle Dan and Bonnie were with them, they were willing to ride. Here is Grant riding with Aunt Bonnie.

Scottie's face in the picture shows how much he adores his Grandpa. He really enjoyed being there and said the word Grandpa A MILLION times day. He had to know where Grandpa was at all times.

It was a windy cold day, but we decided to go to the park anyways. The boys had a ball and so did Grandma and Grandpa. Here is my Mom pushing Grant on the tire swing.
