Love this time of Year!

I love the Fall, the crispness of the air, the turning of the leaves. I love the red trees here in Flagstaff, they are so cool! I love decorating for Halloween and getting costumes for the kids. Preston is going to be Superman, and Ethan, I am not sure yet. I bought him a pumpkin bunting costume but he is too long for it now! So... we will see! He is growing so fast! He can stand now and he can say, "dada." He loves to play with his brother and follow him around. He is so smiley and laughs a lot. Both my boys make me so happy! They are pretty good most of the time!

P.S. I wanted to upload some pictures but am having some trouble. Maybe next time!

Where does the time go?

It seems like yesterday that we brought him home from the hospital and now Ethan is crawling! Lucky for me he has just started and is not too fast yet! I can manage him right now, but in a couple months he will be all over the place! Yikes! Time flies by too fast! I can't believe it!

Much Needed Vacation

Before school started, Joel and I decided we NEEDED to get away and take a family vacation. So we decided to go and spend some time at Joel's Grandma's Cabin in Williams. While we were there we saw some javelina and deer. We didn't see the mountain lion that some have seen. Thank goodness! It was a really nice and relaxing atmosphere, a bit windy, but really quiet and nice. It was just what we needed. We really enjoyed ourselves and hope to do it every summer.

Six Months Old Already!

I cannot believe that Ethan is six months old already! He is pure joy and smiles all of the time. He does the cutest thing now where he gets up on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth. I love it! I can't believe it is the precursor to crawling because it happened too fast! He sits up too for about two minutes and then he topples over. He loves to be able to sit up and see everything. He loves to jump and bounce. He is starting to eat baby cereal and sweet potatoes. He loves them so far and he gets so excited to eat! He is a pretty easy going little guy for the most part and he is ticklish and loves to laugh with his brother. It is so fun to see them playing and laughing together!
