Thanksgiving!!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year in Alpine, UT with lots of family. It was fun to spend time with people we don't see often and catch up. Brexton especially loved all the attention from everyone. Riding on Dallin's shoulders was of course the greatest.
Playing "ball" with Tara.
Some of the ladies!
Like all of us, Brexton loved the Rolls!
Getting served up!
Plenty of food with lots of family- Perfect!
I am grateful for another Thanksgiving spent with family and reflecting on our blessings. The Gospel, family, friendships, home, work, and school are at the top of a very large list of all we are grateful for. Thanks again to the Toolson's for hosting all of us and for another great Thanksgiving!

Halloween!

Brexton loved knocking on the 6 doors we went to for trick or treating.
But then he always just wanted to head right into the house!

It was pouring rain unfortunately, so we only stayed out a little bit but it was fun to trick or treat for the first time. He then loved handing out candy to everyone who came to our door. I couldn't believe how many people came to our neighborhood. I thought I was warned and ready with lots of candy for all the people but, after a huge Sam's Club bag of candy we were only left with three pieces! It was so fun to get so many trick or treaters!

Trunk or Treat

We had a ward Trunk or Treat. Brexton didn't understand the idea of walking up to a trunk to trick or treat but he had a great time running all over the parking lot! Carter and Rachel came up to join us for the Halloween Weekend it was so fun to spend time with them.
He looked awesome from the back!


American West Heritage Center

Brexton and I went with some friends to the American West Heritage Center. It is so toddler friendly. It has a hay maze, train, animals, and even a "blackout" maze for the little children. We are waiting in line to ride the train in this picture.
This is Megan's (my next door neighbor) son Robby who is 7 months.
Us riding the train!
More of the train ride, it just goes around the Heritage Center.
Lots of animals to see! These were his favorite the goats!

The big pirate ship made out of hay bales.


Thanks Megan and Robby for going with us it was so much fun to spend some of the day there!

Homcomming Parade/Game!!

We went to the homecoming game/parade this year for Utah State. These pictures are backwards unfortunately, but here are a few of the game. The game started out so fun but then it started to pour, so we had to leave at half time which was around when Utah State was starting to get crushed anyway so we left at a good time! This first picture is after it started to rain.

He loved watching the game!
At the parade in the morning.
Only at Utah State! Who knows what it was supposed to be!
He of course loved the candy and all the loud noises from the police cars and fire engines!

Go Aggies!!!!
I love this picture with the Temple in the background. My favorite parts about Logan, the Temple and Utah State!!

Jessica and the Boys visit!

Jessica and the boys came to visit and we all met at Thanksgiving Point. It is such a fun place south of Salt Lake city with lots of animals and fun activities. He LOVED his first pony ride!
Playing in the "farm district" on the tractor.
Brexton, Connor, and Easton.
Racing!


What Brexton has been up to!

One of Brexton's favorite things to do, "rough housing" with daddy!
Playing with cars is also so fun!

We had a mini disaster with the desitin! It is so incredibly hard to get out of carpet. I still am trying to clean up the residue!! But it was sure fun for him!

Boise and Crescent Bar

We traveled up to Boise for my Grandparents 50th wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures in Boise but here are some from Crescent Bar.

Brexton loved the sandy beaches. He just played with the sand all day long!





Until we dragged him out on the tube!

We all fell off the tube, thank goodness for life jackets!! He was pretty cold and scared after that!

He did love riding in the front with Grandpa!
The Duffy's came to visit at Crescent Bar. It had been two years since we have seen them last- it was so nice to see them.



We had a great time in Crescent Bar! Thanks mom and dad for a wonderful trip!
