Snowflakes!

When we woke up this morning we dashed out on the porch to catch some snowflakes before they quit! Mason enjoyed catching them; Lincoln didnt seem to notice anything was going on. You can't see it in the pictures, but I thought the boys were cute in their footie jammies :)

Thanksgiving 2011

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a great, long weekend of eating, family, and fun! I LOVE Thanksgiving and the opportunity to just get together with family, be grateful, and eat!

"We would do well, also, to cultivate within ourselves a spirit of thanksgiving for the blessing of life itself and for the marvelous gifts and privileges we enjoy." Gordon B. Hinckley

LEAVES!

Our acre lot and its woodsy appeal brings with it... a BAJILLION leaves! I don't know if I ever knew the depth of love children can have for leaves until now. As in, when we took a load of them down the hill to get them out of the yard... Mason was truly heartbroken. Crying, lip pouting, and all. Luckily for him, three gigantic piles removed later, there are still a billion left. They may be the best toy we've had for the past few weeks!

Family Pictures 2011

Debbie Haggard, otherwise known as "Mom" Haggard, graciously offered to take our pictures this year! With our 1 and 3 year old we hit the field and driveway for some great pictures! Got to love TN and its never-ending photo-ops!

Thank you again Mom! We love them! Can't wait to get them printed and up on our walls. Here is a smattering....

Happy Halloween!

Meet our Martian and our Bumble Bee! Both costumes were thanks to our friend Hannah who happened to have them left over from Halloween-past. Score! Mason won our church's youth costume contest and has a cute little trophy to show for it :) Lincoln made bank with candy, I believe due to cuteness. They went to a Halloween party Fri night (see our Bishop being "Mummified"), trick or trunking Saturday night, and trick or treating around a neighborhood on Monday night. Whew, that's a lot of Halloweening!

Happy Birthday Mase!

Mason has somehow zoomed to the age of 3! And the word zoom fits this little boy perfectly. He zooms everywhere! He is a bundle of energy and keeps us on our toes with his antics and wit. I worry age 3 might do us in (who said terrible 2s? liar!), but he always manages to follow up with some 3 year old charm that makes me smile and just want to squish him from cuteness. He is a motor-mouth and NEVER meets a stranger. His birthday (week) was filled cake galore, making his own pizza, lots of presents, lots of visits from Grandparents, and Halloween parties thrown in the middle. It was seriously like a week of partying! Here are some pics of our cutey-patootey.

Harvest Time!

Here we go... lets baaaaaaack up and get caught-up!

We went to the most fabulous pumpkin patch that was a few minutes from us - everyone knows I love a bargain, and boy, this was a bargain AND a blast! Doesn't get much better than that. It cost our family of 4 $4 to get in and each boy got their own individual pie pumpkin, we all got a hay ride, a trip through their corn maze, a peek at their pigs, and all the playing time you wanted on their cool amusements. Adult size teeter totter? Yes please! We will definitely be going back next year!
