Tyler's Blessing

We blessed Tyler last Sunday and it was a fun day for our family. We started out the morning a little rough as Jackson seemed to understand something was going on and decided not to cooperate. It took both Jeremy and I twenty minutes just to get clothes on him. I honestly don't know if he has ever acted so naughty. It's interesting that kids can sense when somethings going on. The rest of the day went very well. Tyler couldn't have been more of a dream that day. He must have known mommy was a little stressed and decided to be extra good. We are so lucky to have Tyler and he has brought such a peace to our family. I am grateful to have Jeremy who holds the priesthood to be able to bless Tyler and the rest of our family. I'm sure lucky to have these 3 boys in my life. This was the only family picture we could get. Jackson wouldn't stop watching the movie for anything. He was sure a stinker this day, but luckily our sweet boy returned after a nap and some attention from mom and dad.
I can't tell you how much I am in love with this little guy. I didn't know if my heart could love another little boy as much as Jackson, but its amazing how your heart grows.
Two of the cutest little smiles I've ever seen....but I'm a little partial! :)

Halloween Day and Night

Halloween day we went to Gardner village with my sister Angie to see the witches. It was fun hanging out with my sis and enjoying the nice weather.

Jackson was scared to get too close to the witches, so mom had to sit with him to get a picture.







Halloween night we went trick-or-treating and made a few stops to see Grandma Burgon, the Crow cousins, Becky & Blake, and Grandma and Papa.

Jackson with his cousins...
Trick-or-treating at Aunt Tammys. Giving grandma Weichers a kiss for some candy. We utilized what we already had for costumes this year, Jackson was a basketball guy and Tyler was a baseball guy for Halloween. Kind of boring costumes but they were comfy and resourceful...and look how comfy Ty is on grandma!

Halloween Parties

Halloween is such a fun holiday and our family had such a great time. We went to a few Halloween parties (Allens, Hansens, and the ward trunk or treat). Here are some pictures from our holiday festivities...We went to the Allen's Adult Halloween party (except for Tyler and Cade) :). It was so much fun. We went as Hershey's Bars... I was plain milk chocolate and he was milk chocolate with nuts! We were lucky enough to have President Obama and the First Lady at the party! :) Thanks Branden and Kristi for such a fun night.

Good job Jeremy on the pumpkin....ours is the spider on the right side!
Our basketball guy posing for a pic at the ward party. Jackson hated the headband, so we had to bribe him to keep it on for a few pictures - otherwise it didn't look like he was really dressed up.
Tyler didn't have much of a costume this year. We decided to save a little money and just put him in his "I love my mummy" shirt for his costume. Don't you love the floral couch background....gotta love the church's decor.This was the only family picture we could get... Jackson was having too much fun running around.
