All ready for church...and Grandpa Reed!

Before I head for bed tonight I thought I would post these few pics! The first two are pics of Stets wearing his new church outfit (the poor kid is past due for a hair cut touch up!) and the last one is of my dad and Stetson. My dad came over on Saturday morning to go pheasant hunting with Skylar. Me and Stetson rolled out of bed around 9AM just as the boys came through the door... Skylar whipped up a yummy breakfast of biscuits and gravy (of course I had my usual of chicken noodle soup because I don't like biscuits and I can't stand gravy!!) and dad stayed to eat and chat for a while. Thanks for stopping by Grandpa Reed!

Halloween in Vegas (Now that's SCARY!)

We decided to head down to Las Vegas for a quick trip over Halloween weekend and we had such a good time!!! The day we got there we headed to see Gordie Brown at the Golden Nugget and he was AMAZING!! If you are ever in Vegas I highly recommend seeing him! We must have left Stetson in good hands because he was fast asleep when we got home...nice work Lizzy and Tylie!! We headed to Chuck E. Cheese one of the afternoons which is Cole's FAVORITE hang-out in Vegas. Stetson thought he was pretty cool when I put some tokens in his cup and just watched as he would climb into the little rides all by himself...he would sit down, buckle up the seat belts and smile as he dropped money into the machines all by himself. He is growing up sooo fast!

Tylie and Stetson vegged out and had a mini Land Before Time movie marathon! Tylie and Teigen were both SO good with Stets while we were there. Teigen liked having Stets go fetch stuff for him constantly and Ty acted like a big sis and took care of him.

As for Halloween...

Dr. Griffin was in the house! Gwen Stefani stopped by too which was fantastic! Here's Dr. Griffin showing off all of his loot. He was HILARIOUS trick or treating! He is not much of a candy fan at all and at EVERY house he said, "I don't like that"...I tried telling him to STOP saying that and just take the candy, but EVERY person there was so nice they would just hold out the entire bucket of candy and let him pick something. So that is why his bag is FULL of yummy rich chocolate! Oh and if you are wondering what the hell is growing on Skylar's face...it is hunting season AGAIN and every year that THING comes back...

Stets had a ton of fun with Hudson on Halloween night. We finally put PJs on him because he had taken off his costume and was running around in his underwear and Hudson kept asking me why he was naked all the time!! The other pics in this collage are of the pumpkin Annilee gave him to paint. There was not one spot of orange on that thing when he was finished! We accidentally left it in Vegas and luckily he has forgotten all about it so ANNILEE when you mail us the boots we left there--please do NOT send the pumpkin!!

Twice when Stets was a baby I hopped on an airplane alone with him and flew to Vegas to stay with Annilee and Cole and Skylar works in Vegas a few times a year but this was the first time we had gone together and we really enjoyed every minute. Thanks so much for everything guys!!!

Pumpkin Walk 2009

We hit the pumpkin walk this year with Megan and Landon. I was debating on whether Stets was old enough to enjoy it or not and had decided to can the idea when Megan asked if I wanted to go...and I was glad we did because it was lots of fun! The weather was great and the boys had as much fun as they always do when they get together. These two play together so so so good which is hard to find when you have a 3 yr old!!!

As you can see we had WAY TOO MUCH fun with the cardboard cutouts!!
Thanks for inviting us--we had a great time and hope to see you two again soon!

Blogging extravaganza!

Life has passed by me lately and it has been over a month since I last blogged as my number one blog follower AKA my dad has told me a few times lately so I thought I would post a little bit of this and a little bit of that to show you what we have been up to at our house! (Click on the collages to enlarge)

We were able to go to Pine Valley the second weekend in October for our annual family get together. We weren't able to make it last year so this year was extra fun for us. We hit the St. George shopping mall, Fiesta Fun center, Tai Pan (the main attraction for those who weren't there to slaughter Bambi). We also found a new home for our dog Koda who now lives with Mason in Pine Valley!

Stetson really did bath while we were on vacation though he did manage to get this dirty EVERY DAY playing outside. We headed back to the American West Heritage Center and this time there was no blood and gore involved! Personally I thought this place was overrated but as long as the boys got to ride the train it was worth our TWO trips and $12! The slide wasn't as scary as it looked at first and the boys liked climbing up and down in many times. Stets got to feed this chicken too which was pretty cool if you ask him. We always LOVE getting together with Megan and Landon!!

We rooted for the Cardinals...but not hard enough apparently....oh well....there is always next year but those of you who know about the superstition at our house know the Cards will win in TWO years and not any earlier =)

Halloween pics are to come--SOON--but there you have some updates!
