October 2011

Where did October go? 

I find it hard to believe that we are already in November and our temps are still high 90's. 

The older the boys get the faster our days and nights go by. Brock is 2 months old now, and we are still learning so much about this little guy. We have learned that he has a milk-protein allergy. His body is not able to break down cow's milk. So that has left me not eating any dairy products. Surprisingly it's not as hard as I thought it would be. The hardest part is not being able to eat sweets.

Brock's one month and two month pictures.

We kicked off the month of October with Misty's wedding. The boys had the honor of being in her wedding. It was a chore trying to get the boys to wear their "fancy" clothes. Grandma and Grandpa promised them cool shirts, and monster trucks. Thank goodness when it came down to the day they were so happy to put on their "fancy" clothes. It was so cute to hear the boys talk about the wedding and Misty being married. 

 Generations 

 Our growing family! 

 My Love

Daddy and mini me

Bryce was loving being all dressed up in his fancy clothes. 

 Handsome Boys

 Yes, I had to do it...I dressed all three of them in the same matching pj's. It was what Bryan would call a slickdeal...3.98 clearance rack at Target. Brock's wasn't too happy about getting his picture made right before bed, but the cuteness of all three of them was worth a photo.

Brother's

 Bryce's school schedule changed to Monday Wednesday Friday from 9-3. With this change in Bryce's school schedule it has given Ike and I more time to go and do stuff. We have been making many trips to the park (photo shoot above), gymnastics, and lunch playdates. This change has been a wonderful change for all of us, Isaac and Brock are not in the car all morning long, which makes for better moods and better naps, Bryce enjoys eating lunch and taking naps with his friends at school. 

 This is our world right here in this photo. The bigger brother's are so good to little Brock. They are always asking to hold him, and trying to sooth him when he is crying and upset. I'm so glad the Lord blessed us with these three boys! 

Halloween...

 This was our first Halloween festivity was at MacDonald Ranch in Scottsdale. Bryce and Isaac got to experience their first horse ride. Both boys loved it and talked about the horse all day.

 

Carving our first pumpkin for 2011

Last year we made a record of carving 8 pumpkins...well lets just say our life is a little busier this year. We only carved 2 pumpkins this year. The boys pumpkin was a Thomas the Train, and Brock's pumpkin was a pumpkin he could sit in. 

 Halloween night

This was our first year of trick or treating, the excitement of the boys make our hearts melt. We went to about 5 houses and trick or treat'd and then headed home and handed out candy of our own. Bryce was so funny, we were explaining to him that only houses with the lights on wanted trick or treaters. He was standing at our front door yelling out the door saying "Our lights are on, we want trick or treaters". Every person that came up to the door for candy Bryce was step back and try to figure out what they dressed up as. The scary ones he was sure to tell them..."you look scary". The mind of a 3 year old is the best!

Funnies for the month of October

Isaac loves to wear deodorant, flossing his teeth, and wearing everyone else shoes but his own.

Bryce filled a sport bottle up with rubber bark from the play center in the back yard, and told me that it was food for the bees. A little bit later he came back inside and asked me for the bee to come and eat his bee food. Later in the night he said "well mommy I guess they aren't going to come until I go to bed". So stinking cute! 

Love these boys!!!
