Pumpkins for FHE

We carved our pumpkins on Monday for FHE. This is Mitchell with his Darth Vader pumpkin. And this is Paige with her Harry Potter pumpkin. This is the firs year that Paige did everything from start to finish by herself. We had a lot of fun. Harrison fell asleep about half way through the process so there are no photos of him.

Halloween

We went to a friend's house tonight for a Halloween party. All the kids all dressed up. Here are a few photos. Harrison would NOT put on his costume. Paige was so excited to put on make

-up. And poor Mitchell's head is to big for the helmet. LOL

The attack of Grant

So Grant's new thing is to grab your face at attack you. He gets so excited and he tries to bite or suck on your face, hair, what ever he can get. I had Matt take a few photos cause it is so funny. You have to be careful though because Grant got his two bottom teeth and they HURT!

Pumpkin Patch

Harrison's little play group went to the pumpkin patch today. They got to feed the fish, pet the animals, plant strawberries, and pick out a new pumpkin. He had a lot of fun.

Playing together

Now that Harrison is getting older he has a lot of fun playing with Mitchell. Here are the three boys playing. Well Grant is just watching everything...lol) They had fun all night "fighting".

Paige's hair cut

Paige decided she wanted a hair cut a couple of nights ago. She wanted it short.

She is going to be Cleopatra for Halloween so I suggested we cut it like her hair. She got very excited about this so I cut it in a very blunt style for now. It turned out cute.

Paige and Harry Potter

Paige has worked very hard for the last 2 months reading the first Harry Potter book. She finished tonight! I am so proud of her. She has been very dedicated about reading it and has done a great job. Way to go PAIGE!!!

Grant is changing so fast!

Well yesterday was a big day for Grant. He got his first tooth finally poking through. After months of crazy drooling he finally got his first tooth!
Also, out of the blue yesterday he switched from cooing (talking using only vowel sounds), screaming and screeching to all of a sudden starting to babble. He loves to say nanana, lalalala and Matt's favorite dadadadada. It's almost as if he knows he is doing something great because he smiles like crazy now when he tries to talk. Between these things and sitting up he no longer looks like a little baby! He is growing up so fast and it is so fun to watch.

Matt's Job

Matt is applying for a job promotion in his company today. Pray for him that he gets it. It will mean that he will work out of the Modesto office which would be so much better for our family! Also I wanted to thank you Travis for helping Matt with his resume. I know he really appreciates it.

UPDATE: Matt found out today that there are 3 other guys from JM who have submitted their resumes for the job today. So it looks like he has major competition. EEEeekkk

Grant is sitting.

Grant has been sitting up on his own a little more each day. He still falls over from time to time but is getting there!

San Francisco

Matt had a missionary companion come to SF for a business conference. So we all went there to visit him and spend the afternoon in San Fransisco. We had a lot of fun. Paige loved eating the fresh crab and shrimp and Mitchell and Paige both loved seeing the sea lions. Harry loved getting a sword balloon and Matt had fun visiting Al.

Another tooth...part 2
