Pumpkin Carving

This year for family night we carved pumpkins! We went to Nana and Papa's house, along with Cameron, Lisa and Merrick, to carve pumpkins, and decorate pumpkin shaped sugar cookies. We forgot to take pics at Nana and Papa's, so we took a picture of our final products when we got home. We had a lot of fun!

Dylan's New Hobby

Dylan has decided his new favorite thing to do (besides riding his bike down the street) is pulling his boat through all the mud puddles down our street. Which is perfect for where we live, since it rains so much!

Gavin all tuckered out!

Cousins

Dylan and Gavin love to go play with their cousins. It's nice to be so close to them. Now that school has started, it's hard for my kids to understand why we can not go down to play as often. All Kylee's kids are in school now. So we usually only get to visit on Wednesdays, which are half days, or weekends. Fun times!

Utah Trip

Gavin and I got to visit Jullian this last summer. We had a lot of fun with her family. Part of our trip was driving almost 5 hrs. to Idaho with them to my niece Alisha's wedding. So we had experienced quite the trip by the time we headed home. Hopefully we will get to go back and visit soon!

Gavin

Gavin has been so fun to have in our family. He loves to give kisses and hugs. He is a people person. He likes to make people laugh. He is very friendly to everyone.
He loves to play with cars, trucks, trains, and he especially loves to read books with these things in them.
He has a thing for Harry Potter. He LOVES to watch the "Potter" movies. For some reason he likes the movies most kids wouldn't like until they are much older. Like Harry Potter, and Transformers. I have no idea why?.?.
We have gotten out our Halloween costumes. We have some that Dylan has used in past years. Gavin loves to dress up in them. He is excited to be a tiger for Halloween.
Gav has become quite the talker. He is always talking about something. If we are in the car, it's him pointing out EVERY single bus, boat, motorcycle, or truck we pass. It makes for an interesting ride.

Dylan

Dylan is such a wonderful helper. He is growing up so fast that I can hardly believe he is 5 years old now. He (most of the time :) likes to play with Gavin and show him new things. He is very excited about our new baby coming. He is looking forword to being the "really big brother" and sleeping on the upper bunk bed.Dylan likes going to pre-school. He has school on Wednesdays and Fridays from 9-11:30 am. He is doing very well with his letters and numbers. He can count really high now too. He is always very excited to show me what project he made at school. It was really cute, on my birthday last month, he said he would make me something special at school. When I came to pick him up, he had made a necklece out of fruit loops, and he had colored a picture. He came running up to me and said "Mom, I made you this necklace for your birthday"! Just a second later he goes, "Mom...actually, I want to give you the picture instead, is that ok?" It was so cute! He did share his fruit loop necklace with me though.
