Basket Case

So... Stockton was playing nicely with some toys. But all of a sudden I heard a helpless little whimper, I look over and this is what I find....

Somehow he had flipped the laundry basket (with a bunch of socks)over his head! He was so frustrated because he was trapped! But, I couldn't help but laugh and take a few pictures of the incident. (Notice the LONG tongue sticking out.)

I love how he's still trying to get the remote even though he's got laundry basket over his head.

Halloween Baby

I love Halloween! I love having an excuse to dress silly and making people laugh. But, now it's even funner with a little one to dress up, too!

Stockton and I showed up at my office to show off our costumes. I was a deer and Stockton was a hunter. Pretty classic.

Then we made our way over to Daddy's office and showed off his real costume. Winnie the Pooh! I'm sorry but I've never seen a cuter Pooh Bear.

Notice the candy in Stockton's hand. People would put the bowl of candy in front of him so he could pick out one, but he was smarter than that, he would try to take the whole bowl! But, he had at least one peice of candy in his hands at all times to chomp on the wrapper!

We hardly had any Trick-or-Treaters, but we did leave for a while to go visit our friends Eli and Max. Max was Optimus Prime.

We ended the night with our annual Halloween tradition: watching a scary movie. Now last year we watched one that freaked me out so bad that I was jumpy for a week. So I didn't want to get too scared this year. So we watched a really cheesy, low-budget Canadian version of Sleepy Hollow. It was so dumb, but somehow I still managed to get scared during the night.

Baby's First Snowfall

Brady's Birthday

We celebrated Brady's birthday last week. He wanted to eat at a sport's grill so we could watch the BYU game. They sat us right in front of about 10 big screens with different games on each one! It was so much fun.

Stockton all decked out for the sports grill. (Note the "head band" is actually and arm band)

I told Brady I wanted to check out the shed that he and his dad have been building. Little did he know, his birthday gift was hidden in there... the gift was a bunch of yard tools. We walked in the shed and his reaction was so funny! He said, "Oh, crap! There's birthday gifts in here!" He thought he wasn't suppose to see them. I just laughed and said, "Surprise!"

It was funny to blow out the candles on his cake because now there are so many that the ref started on fire and the basketball hoop melted!

Another night we went bowling with some friends and family. I love the T-shirt Brady got from his brother!

I love you Brady and hope you had a very Happy Birthday!

Career Options

Even at the tender age of 5.5 months, Stockton is already exploring career options. He's trying out new things just to see what occupation fits him best.

So what will he be when he grows up?

A computer programmer?


An architect?


A motor cross rider?

A football player? He's got the stance down.

A plumber?

A hunter?

Or will he just forget it all and be a professional couch potato?

He's still undecided as far as career goes...

But, one thing's for sure, he will be....

A missionary!

Sittin' pretty... good

Look who can sit up!?! I can't believe it! I had to get some things done today, but Stockton did not want me to set him down. Finally I set him down between my feet to kinda support him, but he didn't need my support! So I sat him on some blankies and he sat up and he did so well. He's about 5 and half months old, and I don't know if this is normal for his age, but I was impressed. There were a few times that he fell over, but I have to admit, it was so cute. Because he would be completely stiff and just tip over and I would yell, "Timber!" and he would giggle. I love this little boy!

Here's one of the shots where he tipped over and I tried to grab him and the camera went off.

Go Cougs

We're teachin' him young to cheer for the true team. Stockton sat and watched the entire BYU football game and loved it. Go Cougs!
