October Festivities

October started out with a bang! I love that a new season starts with conference. I love General Conference! I'm so sad when it is over and it always seems to go by so fast. It was a good weekend just staying home and getting the house ready for Fall/Halloween! Here are some pictures:

 I was really excited to use some home-grown pumpkins this year! And I kind of learned back to basics when it came to decorating them; paint and tape!

 I was bored one day and cut out some "spooky" letters. I'm not that excited about them, I think it looked better in my head. I do love my bats. I cut out a bunch of bats and put them around the house. It gives a fun Halloween "feel" all around!

 I'm proud of this cause it came off the corn stalks from the garden. My clever mom pointed them out and I was able to salvage some!

 I also made a blue berry crumb cake on Sunday morning. I love trying recipes, and this one came from the Barfoot Contessa from the Food Network. It was yummmy!

 So the next event was going to Thatcher. It was a fun filled weekend! We went to the fair, got to see Emily's friend Katrina and her husband Stephen visiting from California. They are sooo fun! We can't wait to see them again soon! Here are some pictures from the fair:

 Jeter and Killian checking out the Gigantic Pigs!

 Joe and Killian are in the background, we watched Bri and Kameron on a ride. Jeter was a little weary about all the noise and crazy people, but we all had a very fun time! Especially eating the fair food! Yum funnel cake!

 On Sunday afternoon we were playing outside and had so much fun watching Killian push Jeter around on this monster truck! It was so cute and so entertaining! Killian could really get some speed and Jeter loved it!

 The boys played like this for quite a while! Little kids are funny, they can do the same thing for quite a while! It was so much fun!!

 Jeter: "Come on man, Faster!"

And we LOVE the fall weather!!!

Baseball and Jeter

We recently went to the Diamond Backs game with some family. It was a very exciting game because it got the D-Backs into the post season, and we Won! So it was way fun to be a part of that!! Fireworks and everything! And thanks to Emily Lunt and Jason Lunt for watching Jeter so we could enjoy the game!!

 We then drove to Cottonwood. Kam's family is moving in a couple of weekends and we went for Kameron to walk through his childhood home one last time. I decided Jeter just needs a pile of rocks for his birthday...rocks and dirt keep this kid entertained for a while.

 Also playing with dirt in the garden...

 So Jeter doesn't really like to smile for the camera any more so this is a good picture! He also has a funny habit of putting his feet up. In the crib, in the car seat, high chair, and the sink...

 ("Seriously Mom, Stop") Look

 Yes, The sink. I go to Mesa with Kameron occasionally when he does to class Monday and Wednesday so Jeter and I hang out at Julie Ellerman's home with her fun roommates! This is in Julie's sink.

 Jeter playing Nephites!

We've had a great weekend so far! Conference, decorating for Halloween (pictures in the next post) and Jeter is on a long nap kick! Like three hours!! We better rest up because the holiday season brings a lot of traveling!!

September Birthdays!

We went to Queen Creek to celebrate Janel and Ava's birthdays! We first went to Cooper's football game and than had a fun party afternoon at Janel's house. Complete with Greek food, games, and football! Oh and cake! It was a lot of fun!!

 Jeter is obsessed with pushing strollers, shopping carts, anything with wheels! He was so hot and I had to force him to drink some water and get out of the sun. He was not happy. But he seemed to enjoy all the people and being outside!

 Joe, Brianna, Janel and Mark enjoying 10 year old get screamed at by their football coaches. Someone said it helps toughen them up for when they get older...hmm.

 Kameron and I

The Birthday Girl and Killian. I didn't get any pictures of Ava, she turned Nine!

Labor Day 2011

We went up to Flagstaff for Labor Day weekend. Everyone was able to make it which was very fun and we finally got all the little boys together for the first time. Conner, Logan and Jeter:

 This picture makes me laugh! Jeter's face is priceless, he is always giving an aloof look these days whenever we attempt to take a picture these days.

 Logan is six months and a sweet little boy! It was so much fun to finally spend some time with him!

 The trip started out a little rough, I forgot Jeter's bag (I felt like a horrible mother!) so we went into town to get him some new clothes to make it through the weekend. He needed new clothes so I guess it worked out. And Natalie and Caryn helped me out with all the other little things that got left behind like wipes and pajamas!

 Tanner and Natalie. The weather was perfect, seriously could not have asked for better weather.

 Conner is such a funny little guy! He likes to crawl just about everywhere!!

 Russ likes to give the babies new experiences and helped Conner and Logan share the stroller. It defiantly didn't last long but it was pretty funny!

 Sam and Conner

 This picture is so cute! Russ took Jeter down to the water to play.

 On the boat. Kameron was wake boarding and Jeter would see him out in the water and start crying and when he would fall. Pretty much if Jeter could see Kameron out there he would start crying, I think he thought he was in danger or something? haha! He loves his Dad!!

It was a fun trip, but it was good to get home and get Jeter back on a sleep schedule and in his own crib.

Jeter and his red cups!
So here are some more pictures I borrowed from Caryn's Blog, Thanks Caryn!!!

 Conner and Jeter playing in the truck, the ground is just too rough for little babies! Below Jeter and I around the camp fire.

 The family picture:

 Last but not least the little boys!
