Congrats Dan!

Okay, so if anyone remembers [ThiS] post from last year... Well, he made it again! Wahoo! I am so glad that he has found something to motivate him to contiune to develop his talents in the arts. He really is so talented!

The same as last year, his oil painting (the one for Mark & Kimmi, from a couple of posts ago) will be on display at the Springville Art Museum from now until the end of December, for anyone that wants to go check it out.

halloween [20o8]

Halloween was so much fun this year! We went to my sister's house in Lehi for trick-or-treating and dinner. Easton was so much more into the trick-or-treating than last year and he totally understood the concept of it!

He was a cute lion (thanks sha!), he held his own treat bucket the whole time, and he was a trooper and went out just as long as all of his cousins!

Here he is helping to pass out the candy. But he really wasn't helping, he would just snatch pieces of candy and put it in his own bucket!
Here are my beautiful nieces. We have a Jonas Brother, Cowgirl, Pumpkin, Poison Ivy, and they are all rockin out on Hannah Montanah's studded microphone!

Dan dressed up as Jim from The Office.

Here is our yummy dinner, soup in bread bowls that look like pumpkins! Very Festive!


For my birthday I usually have pumpkin pie, or cheesecake. I think that Easton thought that it was his birthday again, so he blew the candle out for me!

One year older... and hopfully wiser, too!

[Pretty Toes]


This morning Easton saw me painting my toes. His response was that they were pretty toes, and he wanted pretty toes, too! I hesitated, and said that he could have pretty toes when we finished cleaning up our toys. So, he cleaned up his toys and wanted pretty toes! I hesitated again and said that he could have pretty toes after we changed his diaper, thinking that maybe he would forget about it. But, he didn't forget and I decided that it would be okay for my son to have pretty toes if that is what he really wanted! I picked out my most neutral color of toe polish (out of the 2 colors that I own) and painted his toes. I didn't do a very good job, and considered taking the polish off and trying again... then I remembered that he really is a boy!

Having Fun Still...


I am still having so much fun with my camera! Mix it with photoshop, and it's even better! Hopefully I can keep this up and get better at it!
Also, I have a feeling that this is the only beanie that this boy will wear during the winter season. I had tried to get him to wear several different ones before this one, and he wouldn't wear it for even a second. Then I got this one out. It's Dan's "awesome BYU football hat"!
At least it will keep his head warm this winter... even if it's way too big, and it doesn't match his winter coat.

Easton's Birthday!

Easton's Birthday was on the 16th. I was planning a very small party for him and a couple of his cousins to really just play together. Unfortunately he was really sick with croup, so I cancelled the party. But not all was lost, we still celebrated! It was more low key than I was planning, but I think that he still had fun! The BYU game was on [which Easton really loves anyway] and so we watched that, had cupcakes and opened presents! The highlight of the evening was definately the TOOLS that he got from Dan and I. This kid is STILL in 7th heaven!
I love his little tool belt!

Dan's parents and little brother came to watch the BYU game, and this picture is so classic. Dan's dad is watching football, his little brother texting, and his mom is cross-stitching.

He did a great job at blowing out the candle all on his own.

You can't tell, but his party colors were blue and white in honor of the BIG (too bad that they lost) game!

Easton's here just checking out all the goodies!

I have to add this side note: Right now he calls tape measures: Costco's
I think that it's pretty cute.
