YOU DID WHAT

During dinner Daxen told us what he just did. It was pretty funny and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Carbon Alumni Game

While I was down in Price I heard that they were having a Carbon Alumni game. It turned out to be alumni against alumni or as they called it YOUNGIES VS. OLDIES. But there will be another game later that the alumni plays against the actual Carbon Team. It was a lot of fun but holy SMOKES. I was dying and our YOUNG team didn't have any subs so we played 16 minutes...2 and 4 quarter while the carbon high team played one another the 1 and 3. Hopefully by the next game I will be in a little more shape! However our team won by 1 point thanks to my mom for keeping score and I scored 4 points!:)


My wonderful team. All of these girls were freshman when I was a senior.

Family Pictures/Daxen's first Trick-or-Treating

Its that time of year for family pictures! Amy was nice enough to take them for us!! THANK YOU! To say a least she was very patient with our NOT SO HAPPY little boy. It was like the nightmare that wouldn't end. We went from throwing leaves to pulling leaves off trees just to get him to smile. In the end we got pictures that we loved and others that his little nasty mean face was showing! Needless to say we love our little guy and ended up getting some great pictures!!

She totally caught me off guard. But we think it turned out to be a good picture!

This is my favorite:) I love my hubby!

In this photo, you can't see him anymore because I got rid of him! But Daxen was there. While we were taking our pictures he was in the background smiling at the camera...BIG CHEESY GRIN..lol:) I could have HUGGED that little man for that!

Throwing the leaves to get him to smile

Pulling the leaves off the tree to get him to smile!

Finally got put down to run around:)

We needed to have Daxen take a nap before pictures so Stevie went to put him to sleep. It was taking longer than usual so I went to check to find this.

After a long day of pictures we did end up going trick-or-treating. Daxen loved it. He held his bucket the entire time. We first went to the mall where he rode Dads shoulders the entire time. I forgot my camera in the car so no pictures in the mall:( However, when we went to Jason and Amy's house to trick-or-treat around their neighborhood Daxen would have nothing to do with Stevie or I. I think he was mad at us for making him sit still for pictures. He would either hold Uncle Jason or Chads hand. The best part was he grabbed Stevie's hand not knowing it was him and he looked up to see who it was. When he saw it was Stevie he threw his hand down and ran to Chad to hold his hand. It was so funny, but SAD that he was mad at us. By the end he did forgive and would let us hold his hand and carry him every now and then!

PUMPKIN DESSERT

Tonight is our ward Halloween party. This is the dessert that I have made! I think they are pretty cute and they were FUN to make! I got the idea from my Mom's ward who did chocolate ones! Hopefully they will be a BIG HIT at the party!! You can eat the entire thing which makes it even BETTER.

Orange part is made from Dipping Chocolate

Icing for the face

Then just put in Ice cream or whatever you want in the middle and ENJOY!

THE PARK, THE ZOO, AND A NEW PET

Last Friday I was able to go and babysit my nephews. It was a lot of fun and the boys always have fun playing with one another. I had pictures to take that night so I went to make sure exactly where to tell them to go so I took the boys up Provo Canyon where I found a play ground that they were able to play at. They had a blast, not to mention a long run across the park to a bathroom because Dawson had to go really BAD! While I was carrying Daxen running and Carter loosing his pants with every other step that he took! Poor thing. I ended up running with both Carter and Daxen in my arms. Making is successfully to the bathroom before any accidents occurred!

Saturday morning we got up and got ready to go to the Hogle Zoo. It was a lot of fun and Daxen loved being there. His favorite part was the carousel and he threw a little tantrum when we got him off, but soon got over it! They had stations throughout the park where the kids could get candy which Daxen loved because every time they would put one in he would take it right back out and give it to us to open!

Train Ride

He did not cooperate very well!

Daxen pushing the stroller with Dad.

He got tired so he rested his head on his blanket while he continued to push the stroller.

The adorable little baby elephant!

How Daxen looked at the elephant! He was not sure what to think!

Miss Teen Utah! Marissa is so sweet and was more than willing to take a picture with Daxen.

Waiting for the Carousel ride

He kept switching back and forth between the panda and tiger but quickly decided on the Panda when it started to move.

Daxen has a new pet Mouse! Stevie was dying to put this on here! He takes it with him wherever he goes.

Playing At The Park

Last week Stevie took Daxen and I to the park in Orem. It was a lot of fun and I WAS VERY EXCITED TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE:) Stevie surprised me and came home early from work so that we could go. He is the BEST!!

Swing with Daddy

Swinging by himself

The duck that stayed by us the entire time and Daxen loved it!

Pointing at the duck that wouldn't leave us.

Daxen trying his hardest to get away from Dad and go swim with the Duck that got scared away by some kids that were trying to catch him.

Daxen and Daddy.

WAHOO. He loved it because you did not go fast as all. He could take his time coming down the slide.

And Daxen wins the race!

Climb Climb Climb

Peek-A-Boo I see you!

Hang on Hang on!!

On top of the monkey bars

Swinging with Mom!

This huge contraption went in a circle which resulted in

This...and then

This...:) lol he was so tired in the end, it was a lot of fun though!

Daxen was in his little swing and while he was going forward and backward the circle motion about tipped him completely out of his swing. He was having a blast none the less.

Flippin and A Sleepin

Last night we had a Great FHE. I was busy all day working my little tail off to get Daxen's things all organized so we could change his room. That is right folks he is no longer a little boy in his crib. We have officially taken it down and now he sleeps in his big boy bed. For his first night he did pretty well. He probably would have done a lot better if it wasn't for the EXTREMELY LOUD THUNDER, and POUNDING RAIN. While I finished up the room Stevie cooked dinner, which was french toast, eggs, and sausage. Daxen was his little helper. He is so willing to help cook. I love this little man, but I cannot believe how fast he is growing up!

He was so proud of himself if you cannot tell by his face.

He was in his bed for maybe 5 minutes and he had already turned himself! Thank heavens for bed rails.
