He's official!

So I uploaded all of my pictures backwards and REALLY don't want to go back and edit. So here ya go...

MONDAY NIGHT PUMPKIN CARVING

Ricky brought home pumpkins! For our FHE I had the lesson and he planned the activity of carving pumpkins and of course watching the Packers game. He has requested that we celebrate ALL October so that when Halloween does come we are not just getting excited for the Holiday but that we are ready to move on to Thanksgiving:)

I had just mopped the floors this day too. I decided exploring the pumpkin guts was more important that keeping my floors clean...until I woke up the next morning to my pumpkinified kitchen the next morning:)

Munchin' on some guts and seeds. Yum!

Little man LOVES this oven mitt. Everyday I find it somewhere new in the house.

Sunday Afternoon

I know it's blury, but I hope you all appreciate the hard work of those cute little front teeth.

Samuel loves this stick. If he doesn't have an oven mitt, it's the stick.

I'm free! So happy to be home from church:) With Ricky and I both teaching the third hour, he gets a little tired of being on his best behavior. Nursery in 3 months is sounding pretty good to him.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT THE PARK

Walking out of the Boise Center after Ricky's swearing in ceremony. Grandma in his left hand and his boy in his right. Samuel LOVES his daddy. When he's at work he'll go around to all of his pictures, pointing and saying. "Daddy, Daddy." It's quite endearing. As soon as he's home from work the two of them are outside with the dogs.

After years of hard work Ricky was sworn in on the 30th of September as the newest Idaho attorney. So proud of him!

One Month Shy of A Year...sure love this little boy!

Pots and pans...who needs toys! While I'm in the kitchen, or not, he'll pull out everything from the cupboards, bang it around and see what sounds he can make. Today he decided to make one of my pans a boat. Ahoy Matey!!

Love these beautiful flowers in our front yard. I had trimmed

it down, assuming it was a rose bush. A few weeks ago these

pretty little white flowers started popping out.

Our cherry tree is in full bloom, ready to harvest. Ricky's

trying to keep the blackbirds and "fat robins" from eating

them all before we can pick them. He asked if he could get

me a pellet gun for my birthday:)

Can't get enough of these little curls. And yes, he is trying

to get into the toilet. Who cares about being sanitary when

there's a good photo op??

Happy little man!

Our first cherry harvest!

Can I fit it ALL in my mouth!

HOWDY!!

Much Needed Updates...

Flying Tigers, Jets and Tricksters: Saturday at the Airfield

Last Saturday we took the afternoon and went to an airshow. It was a perfect day! I would have taken pictures of the planes, but this is the last picture I got in before my camera died. At least it's a cute little bum.

Stealing his daddy's hat!

Ricky chopping down branches of our fruit trees. We have

tons of cherries. They're still green. Hopefully we can get

to them before the birds do when they ripen. The apples

are starting to come on and we have one more fruit tree

that we're not sure what its' fruits will be.

Ricky graduated!! Ricky and Professor Lee. It was so

stinkin' cold that day. I wrapped Samuel up in my dad's

jacket and while Ricky was holding him and taking

pictures he totally konked out.

The group of guys Ricky spent most his days studing with.
Ricky, Doug Farr, Andrew Law, Garner Meads, Reed Willis, Landon

Samuels's reunion with Freckles

Bath Time

Last night, during Samuel's bath, every time I would peek over the bath tub wall he would start giggling. I thought it was definately adorable enough to share.

Jacob and Rachel's Sealing

Annual Race

Ricky was the official pusher of the stroller and I ran.

Sleeping Samuel and Cosmo

Just before the race

Fourth year running the Rex Lee Run! The first year Ricky and I were engaged, second year married, third year six months pregnant and this year, we had our little man bundled up and running with us:) I was pretty proud of my time. With it being so stinkin' cold outside I've been running on an indoor treadmill, today was the test to see how I would do outside again, with hills. My goal was to finish under 30 minutes. Happy and proud to report under 28 minutes. When the official results get in I'll definately be posting.

Mamma and Sista's Visit To Utah Pics

Thanks for my fun new toy Gigi!

Life would not be complete without a few llamas.

Our happy little boy!

Taking a stroll around Temple Square

We're waiting in the lobby to be seated at the Mayan restaurant. The divers were fabulous!

Sure love these ladies!
