Bridger's First Birthday

Bridger just turned one! Our baby is growing up.

He has a favorite blanket that he's borrowed from Josiah. It's full of yellow ducks on blue background. So we chose a duck cake for his first birthday.

I know he loved looking at his birthday presents.

And that duck sure did taste good too!

You are spunky fun little boy. We love you Bridger. Happy Birthday.

Halloween 2013

Details....

Bridger's first Halloween. So like all the boy's we dressed him as a pumpkin. This is one of the few shots of him at one of our Halloween Celebrations this year.

While he may be mad once in awhile,

there are moments when he has a phone in hand

that he is perfectly happy.
Here is Ammon sporting his awesome Captain America Costume. This guy is his hero.

We picked up his shield and mask for about 75 cents and we re-purposed Stuart's Superman costume. It was perfect.

Stuart once told me he wanted to Superman for every Halloween for the rest of his life. Well, this year it changed...

You can tell he's got a thing or two up his sleeve.

Josiah's costume is so creative.

"Jungle Josiah" to the rescue!

This masked crusader will save you every time!

And of course we musn't forget Dorothy.

Red Shoes

What is that you ask?

Why its a Panda. This Dorothy has ditched Toto for a Panda. Or at least on half the days. Notice she's got the apron designed by Goldie and made out of a pair of pants, but oh so pretty. She's lovely, my Dorothy.

And finally. I made myself a costume. It's a pirate thingamajig. I'm still working on making stuff for me. So it's a work in progress. We had a fun Halloween. How about you?

Halloween Hooligans

Two years ago we went to this spot and took pictures on October 18th. We wanted to do the same thing this year. When we looked up the fact that we were heading out to do it on the 18th we thought it was eerie as it was the same day of the month as before. We had fun even if you cannot tell that by the way they are all over the place. They are simply awesome!











Happy Halloween!

On the Exercise Route

Whenever Grandma and Grandpa come to visit they go on long walks. This last visit was no exception. As Grandma was walking she found this really cool place that does a Fall Celebration. She invited us to go to it with her.

First we found the "perfect" pumpkin.

Then we took a hayride around their property.

But our favorite part walking in their woods. Despite the mosquitoes it was a fun little forest we delighted in. What a great discovery Grandma!

Visiting Raleigh

Since Grandma was in town, we took advantage of the babysitting and went to the temple. Afterwards, Stuart complained that he didn't get to go, so we took them.


We walked around the outside

Everyone wanted Bridger to touch the temple.

We made a quick trip to the Lego store. The boys loved that...not so sure about Grandma. Thanks for putting up with us grandma.

Shopping in Jonesborough

Grandma Allen came to visit us and we went shopping in Jonesborough. It was lots of fun to be in that spot. Especially on the storytelling weekend.

Bridger and I had fun even if we didn't shop as much as Grandma.

Exploring the decor always brings a smile to our faces.

Let's do it again sometime Mom!

Pictures at School

I really liked comparing the pictures from Goldie's first day at Princeton Primary and her last day. So we decided to take pictures at their school this year. It just didn't happen on the first day. We took some at both Josiah and Goldie's school.











Goldie wanted to include the date of her school on a picture. It is 101 years old and has ghosts...or so the stories go. I gotta write some of them down!
