Family Night Bowling

Last week my sister called and told us to come to FatCats for some family time bowling! My bro and his wife couldn't make it due to prior engagements, but that didn't stop us. I was craving some Pizza Factory Pizza and a chance to kick some butt at bowling! (It's rare when I can get Kurt out to bowl...partly because he doesn't care for it and I believe the other part is because I kick his TRASH!!!) Ethan had a blast bowling and had to give high fives and scream every time he knocked down a pin! I love doing things like this as he gets older and enjoys it so much more! So here are a few pictures from the night!

Update on the EYES

Wow I'm slacking on my blog. At the beginning of this month we had our check up once again with Dr. Larson for Ethan's eyes! It's good news!! His eyes look great! No crossing, no laziness, and he is using both eyes together! They tested him with 3D glasses and he was able to pick out the pictures that were 3D, indicating that he is using both eyes at the same time. (Our issues in months past have been that he would just use one eye at a time). So now that he has binocular vision instead of monocular vision we will wait 6 months to see the doc again!! It's been a long process but I think we are finally looking good. Hopefully he won't relapse and get lazy with either eye. I guess that is why we will probably have yearly check up throughout his childhood! Yay for wonderful doctors!!!

Happy Halloween!!

Say hello to Mr. Incredible and our little Witch!

I've never seen Ethan so excited for night time to come! He couldn't wait to trick or treat! We tried to make the day go by fast! We made some spider cookies...

and visited Grandma's to get pictures with all the cousins...

He drove us nuts half the day with his craziness but it paid off seeing him run out the door with Kurt ready to yell "Trick or Treat! It was pouring rain but it didn't bother him a bit! He was so excited!!

After he got home we got in Halloween jammies and sent him to work answering the door. I think he was just as excited to put candy in every one's bag as he was to get his own candy! I don't think I had to answer the door once, except while he was gone! Then the kiddos went to bed, and we enjoyed the rest of our night!

I think we have enough candy to last a life time! Ethan got the trick or treating down pat....distract all the nice people with your charm and take as much candy as possible while distracted! I guess the kids pretty smart! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

The Festives

We've had lots of fun Halloween Festives! For some reason I always love this time of year! I love the beginning of fall, the excitement of dressing up, the Halloween decorations, and of course the big bags of Tootie Fruities at the store. Here are a few thing we've done so far...

The witches at Gardner Village! Ethan and Maysen were not into finding the witches, they have more fun running like hooligans all over the place.

Then the Walter's hosted the annual neighborhood Halloween party! It was a blast which included a heated game of Pictionary. Boys vs. girls and I'd have to say girls won, even with some random drawings of a blueberry muffin! Tyler might beg to differ, but I still believe we won! I didn't get pictures of everyone but I will be stealing pictures from Jamie and Janai! I love getting together with everyone from the neighborhood, just love being with friends! We went as cowboys!! Thank you to my hubby for always appeasing me and dressing up!

Next was the ward party, which sadly I didn't get any pictures. Reese was dressed up a tad, but I figured real Halloween pictures will come tomorrow!

And yesterday was Ethan's pre-school party! They get to go out on to 12600 s. and wave to all the cars! It's hilarious! They think it's the coolest thing ever!! All the cars honk and the kids go crazy!! This first picture of Ethan cracks me up....I keep wondering who that kid is! Frankenstein and Mr. Incredible had a blast at pre-school!!

Family Pictures

While we were in St. George we were able to get updated family pictures! I think they turned out super cute!!

(Of course the binki appears yet again in pictures!! Why do they always decide to get mad right in the middle of pictures!?)

Thanks to my talented sister in law, Mindy, for taking all the pictures!

Big Girl

We are lovin' the Bumbo!!

Hopefully we can stop that bald spot that is starting to form from rubbing her head back and forth!! Such a big girl!!

Pickin' Pumpkins

Off to the pumpkin patch.....
