Slides

Before it started to rain, we headed to the park earlier this week.

Dylan has decided that slides are much more fun to walk down.

His shirt is actually a PJ top that Amy sent him for his birthday.

Then Dylan likes to climb back up the slide.

Side note: You can kind of see the leaves in the background, but Blake is super excited that the leaves are changing colors. Poor CA kid never got to really experience this before.

Park

After Home Depot, the kids wanted to go to the park.








Blake is getting pretty good at the swings. Can't you tell?

He also likes to do pull ups like Dad.

Dylan and his "looks".
 

Yep...tough pull ups.

Home Depot..Again

We went to Home Depot again to do a project...surprise! The kids love doing these projects. Aaron is in Turkey so I was a little occupied while we were making the projects (especially while they were painting them) so I couldn't get any pictures.

Here are the finished boats.

Of course Woody needed to join the crew.

Houston

While my mom was in town, she watched the kids for the weekend so Aaron and I could get away for the weekend and go to the BYU vs. University of Houston game in Houston. Our hotel was right by the stadium.

It was a crazy game. I don't think Aaron's voice lasted more then 10 minutes.

I got this picture for my parents because Yeck was in their first mission. His parents apparently drove down for the game as well. Too bad he didn't have a good game.

You get to see a lot more things at the game then you do when you are watching it on tv, obviously, but I noticed that Taysom Hill would go get check out by the trainers all the time. Tough being the QB sometimes.

I think this was at half time.

The refs were terrible (to be nice) and I thought that perhaps the fact that they were drinking powerade had something to do with how they were playing. Maybe KVN had too much powerade and so that's why he was MIA?!

We sat in box seats with Aaron's brother, Adam, and Adam's wife's entire family...okay, most of the family. In the box next to us was Cecil Samuelson and Tom Holmoe. Aaron got a better picture of the 2 of them, but it is on his phone so he will have to post it sometime. Those guys both really got into the game, but Tom especially did. Good to see they support the team.

It was fun to see Adam and Becki's family. Totally crazy, but one of Becki's brothers married a girl from my freshmen dorm...she was at the game. Small world.

We had fun...mostly because...

We won!!!! Take that refs!

Dylan's Birthday Party

Since Grandma was here, we decided to have a little birthday party for Dylan...a couple weeks early.

He got Buzz Lightyear.

Thomas the train.


And a helicopter.

Making sure it works.

Both kids loved the presents.

Dylan is a little obsessed with Buzz.

We got an oreo ice cream cake.

Yep, still obsessed with Buzz.

Dylan and Grandma!

Heard Museum Again

We liked the museum so much, we decided to go again later that week when Grandma came to town as part of Dylan's birthday party.

Crazy boys!

Once again, ended up at the houses. It is a great place for them to run off some energy.

And you know, clean the dirt?

One of the houses has a balcony.

Heard Museum

We heard from some friends that there was a fun "museum" (I wouldn't call it a museum, more like an outdoor sanctuary or something) just a few miles from the house. We decided to check it out since they had a dinosaur exhibit going on.

Blake's favorite is the T-rex...and from Dylan's face you can tell that the T-Rex is not his favorite.

They also have some houses that you can play in. This is the kids' favorite part.

Taking a break from running around.

Boo'd

The very beginning of October we were boo'd. Someone left us a ton of goodies in a cute Halloween bag, with a fun poem to go with it saying that we need to boo 2 people in the neighborhood and to put the enclosed ghost on our window so everyone else knows we have been boo'd already.

It made their day! We late made some cookies and took them to 2 houses. Blake loved dropping them off at the houses and being like a ninja.
