Halloween pic overload

BEFORE AFTER- explanation. Lleyton hated his costume. I put him in it two minutes before Josh got home and this is what I found when I went back to get him. He had zipped himself out of his costume and it was laying on the bed.On our way to the "Trunk or Treat"

Lleyton was in such a good mood ... NOT.

Josh and Lleyton at the trunk or treat. We didn't trick or treat because we felt weird since our child isn't even old enough to ask for the candy, plus you know he won't be the one eating it, and heaven knows I don't need it. It was fun walking around and seeing the costumes and decorated trunks.

Wow, we finally got a smile.

That was our night. Short and simple. Lleyton was cranky and Josh and I both had killer headaches. Oh the memories. :) Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!

Mommy's little helper

Here is my angel boy. He loves to help me with the dishes. Once I have it opened he hands me everything that is on the bottom. He then pushes the bottom in climbs on top of the dishwasher and pulls the top out as far as he can. He hands me the dishes until we've emptied the dishwasher. I do have to have quick hands. He throws them on the ground if I don't take them ... but hey at least he's doing his part right. :)

Banana boy and pumpkins

Lleyton and his little pumpkin. He was so happy, he carried it everywhere.

Lleyton shoved a whole half a banana in his mouth before pumpkin carving.Lleyton with the "BIG" pumpkin.Our cute finished pumpkins! Josh did the little one and I did the big one. The big one is a bit goofy. I was a little bit worried it wasn't going to look too good but I think they turned out okay.

Fun at the farm at Thanksgiving Point

This is the first pic of our outting. If you look close you can see Lleyton's mouth wide open in awe of the sheep. He and I were both feeling under the weather but Josh had work off and we don't see him much so we decided to spend it doing something fun ... sick or not.

It doesn't look like they were too afraid of each other does it.
This is Lleyton riding the horse. I stood in line while Josh walked around with Lleyton. It took a while until it was finally our turn but worth it. Lleyton loved it! Josh said it was hard to keep him on there because he kept trying to bounce up and down on the horse.

This is the only pic of me and Lleyton and that's okay, because were both looking like the sicklings we were.It was a lot of fun. We were going to go to Cornbelly's but most of the fun things there Lleyton wouldn't have been able to do. We figured this was more suiting and cheaper. I totally recommend it.

Kids do the darndest things

All boy

Lleyton always gets mistaken for being a little girl which Josh doesn't like so much. I took these pictures though and especially in the one where he is smiling big he just looks so sweet and pretty. I must say I would rather him look like a pretty girl baby than an ugly baby.

Looks can be deceiving ... because he is all boy. He is always grunting when he plays with his toys and making noises of animals when we read. He is into everything, and I tell you he is all boy!

So many blessings

Lately, I have been thinking about how blessed I truly am. I have taken so much for granted. I have such a loving husband who works his tail off so I can stay home and raise Lleyton. He is such a great father and takes great care of both of us. He never complains and helps me so much with Lleyton even after a long hard day. I am so grateful we have been blessed in these trying times with health and the means to sustain our family. I so often take for granted the health and love I have been given. I am so thankful for the knowledge I have of right and wrong and the gospel in my life. I am so grateful for the great influences and examples I have been surrounded by. I have been given so much and truly am indebted to the Lord. I think we all forget sometimes how blessed we truly are. Hopefully we can all remember the blessings which we have been given and seek to see the blessings we receive everyday.
