I need to load some photos onto this blog! Here is stuff we have been up to in October.
Here is Weston dressed exactly like his daddy.
He has always liked to dress just like Scott (sometimes it gets hard to do, so a little frustrating...). But they look so handsome together. And in RED for the Utes! (I don't know why that is underlined, and I can't get it off. Sometimes this blogger thing does wierd stuff...) Weston has really been into football lately. He and his friends play it every recess and he comes home talking about teams I know nothing about. He loves to watch the Ute games with his dad, and he is trying to not say mean things about BYU... We are working on Scott not teaching the kids that... Hard stuff. :) Weston is also taking piano lessons from a neighbor and doing super great. I am so impressed with how quickly he picks up on it all. He doesn't really complain too much about practicing either (though, he is still young and still has time...). The bribing helps. He earned three donuts--with sprinkles-- for practicing every day in October. If he practices every day through November he gets to go to the Jon Schmidt concert! What fun!
We visited a local pumpkin patch and tried to get some fun photos of the kids. Cheeser.
Brennan is still "cooking" all the time. He is getting really difficult to find birthday and christmas present ideas. I can't just buy him pots and pans! But he is so funny about it all. He also likes to play with cars and blocks with his brothers. He thinks he is big. I think he is small. Come a few months I will think he is HUGE (a new baby always makes the old baby not a baby any more)!
This is Aidan visiting the pumpkin patch with his preschool (they are not pictured...) on the COLDEST day of the year so far. It was freeeeeezing! But they all had a good time.
Aidan loves preschool and is reading and writing all over the place. He got to visit the fire station, too this month and loved it. He is getting bigger and funnier. He loves to laugh at himself and the funny things he says. He is still taking tumbling and is getting stronger. I don't think he necessarily loves going, but every time he comes home happy. And it really does help him. So he is going to have to keep on trucking! He can't wait for Christmas (and for some reason Easter and Valentine's day--I think it is the candy he is excited for).
Here is Brennan LOVING the snow that we had a few weeks ago.
The boys are so confused as why it is gone already and warm (we even went to the park!)--I think they think winter is over.
And here begin our Halloween festivities:
The boys wrapped Aidan up in toilet paper and called him the mummy of King Tut --though for some reason they kept saying King Kentucky--did they get that from some show I don't know about? They love dressing up in their costumes as often as possible, too.
We set out Halloween decor, including our little skeleton who sits on our porch each October. Weston is showing off the "spiders" we made from some spiky things Scott found beside the river (I remember making them as kids with my mom).
We have also painted wooden pumpkins, made ghosts of all kinds, carved pumpkins and drawn or created every imaginable monster/Halloween ghoul or character. I think it has been a fun month of crafts.
We baked and cooked all evening on Wednesday and all day Thursday. Scott made the turkey and gravy (way to go hon!), Heidi made mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie. I made jumbleberry pie and the rolls. It was a great feast and we had LOTS of leftovers.
