Lately...

Here are just a few pictures from my phone as of late! 

We had a little family outing to Chipotle (gluten-free paradise!) and the new Scheels store up in Sandy. Future golf buddies right here!

Scotty loves to wear hats. He asks to put them on every time he sees one.

We had the first real snow a few weeks ago! We bundled this little guy up and took him sledding.
It was so funny to see his reaction to the snow. He loved it!

That same snowy day Nate and I went to the BYU football game with Emily and Richard.
I used a total of 8 of those "little hottie" hand warmers. It was freezing but so fun!

A Sunday tickle war ;)

We made a grateful leave banner for Thanksgiving!

This is how Scott eats a cupcake. Well done Scotty!

It's definitely chilly enough for winter pajamas! Scott kept saying "hi!" to the polar bear feet on these jammies.
He even pulled them out of the dirty clothes hamper the next day to give them more hugs. So funny to me...

Sometimes Scott and I go play at the Provo Beach Resort when it's too cold for the park. 

He doesn't even notice if he is actually playing the games for real or not...

Here is shot of our playgroup from last week. 2 of our friends are moving and we are so sad!
I got Scott to sit on the couch this time by putting him in the bumbo. 10 little boys and 1 girl. So crazy and fun every week!

Emily and I went to the Breaking Dawn premier at midnight! We've seen all the other ones at midnight and knew we must carry the tradition (surrounded by 13-year-olds) to the end. I liked this movie best of them all! 

Halloween Pictures!

Here are some pictures from Halloween this year! Scott was a lion because that's his favorite animal. He was thrilled to wear a lion costume!

The weekend before Halloween we went to our church Halloween party...

Lion on the loose!

Well this is awkward...

The week of Halloween we had a little Halloween play group party. 

We brought food and toys to our community clubhouse and had a "parade" around the block.

Taking a picture of 9 little boys at the same time is pretty hard. 

Especially when your kid is the one who won't stay on the couch. This is the best shot I got ;)

On the actual day of Halloween Nate came home a little early and we carved pumpkins! We also had a fall feast of butternut squash soup, salad and pumpkin bread.

 Taking the pumpkin carving very seriously...

He was so amazed when we put the candles inside!

 Time for costumes! Can you find which lion is Scott?

 Practicing roaring!!

We went trick-or-treating with Scott's friends Bradely and Benson. Aka my friends Merrick and Leanne.

 Oh don't mind if I do... 

At the first couple houses he wouldn't give me his candy to put in the bag. Like "why would I ever hand this over Mom?"
He tried to eat every piece immediately. He eventually got the hang of it after a few houses.

Scotty loved trick-or-treating! So much so that the next night he kept going to the door saying "side?" "trick treat?"
I'm sure he wonders why we don't do that every night.
