Boo at the Zoo

<
Yesterday we went to the annual Boo at the Zoo! We went with Dustin, Jamie, Taylor, April, Dylan, Isabelle, and Tyler's sister Lisa and her husband and 2 boys Ryker and Gage. We got there right when it opened at 9am. It was a lot of fun. The kids had a great time seeing everyone in costume. I am so glad we got there early because it got way too crowded. Bryson wanted to eat every piece of candy he got at each booth. Tate thought that Boo at the Zoo was Halloween, so as we are leaving he asks, "Now can we go home and get the Christmas decorations out?" This time of year he gets so excited about all the holidays. Just about everyday he will ask me which holiday is coming up first and which holiday follows. I should probably make him a chain that he can tear off for each day and count down til the next holiday. It is a lot of fun to see him so excited. Last night we also carved pumpkins. Tyler is a perfectionist when it comes to carving pumpkins. He did a great job. The boys liked painting their pumpkins.

Halloween Fever!

Our kids have Halloween fever!!! They cannot wait to dress up in their costumes for Halloween. Today we went to Gardner Village for their witch festival (it was way too hot and crowded), but the kids had fun dressing up in their costumes and seeing all the other kids in their costumes. As you can see, Bryson is a lion since that is the one sound he knows ROARRRRRR!!! And Tate is Spiderman because he is obsessed!!!

We Got Snow! - October 12, 2008

Wow! We got snow! I can't believe how much snow Bountiful got on Sunday morning! We woke up to just about a foot of snow! Tyler, Tate, and Bryson were very excited to get out and play! They built this 8 foot snowman! The snow was so heavy that I had to go out and help put the middle section and head on! It is going to be such a fun winter now that Bryson is old enough to understand and interact. I don't think he remembers snow so as soon as it started to stick on the ground, he went to touch it and examine it. He was so excited to play to go out and play in the snow. He loves to stomp in it and eat the snow. Tate loves to find icicles and pull them off and suck on them like a sucker (I think my kids should have a pretty tough immune system with all the gross stuff they put in their mouths).

Bryson Turns Two!!!

Bryson is so much fun! He absolutely loves sports! He likes to pretend he is a baseball player and so he goes into Tyler's closet and puts on his baseball cleats and then grabs his tiny mit and ball. He is now ready to PLAY BALL! Bryson turned 2 last Sunday, October 5. We spent the weekend down at the cabin with grandma T.T. and Papa, Lindsay and Tim. We had a great time. Bryson still isn't talking much, but he learned to put up two fingers when people ask how old he is. Bryson didn't understand how to blow out the candle after we sang "Happy Birthday", so Tate decided to blow the candle out for him(and Tate "helped"open Bryson's presents, too). We had to relight the candle so that Bryson could have his turn to blow out the candle. Tate decided that he turned 4 over the weekend, also. I guess since he opened the presents and blew out the candles, that makes him now 4 years old!! He is having a hard time waiting for his birthday.
Bryson got a fire engine, big wheel, and lots of balls. He got so excited about his new ball and bat.

Here is Tate "helping" Bryson open his presents!! We had a great time at the cabin, but it rained most of the weekend. We mostly just sat by the fire, ate, played games, ate, sat by the fire, and ate! The boys just love to go to the cabin.
