Halloween 2010

Here are some pictures from our Trunk or Treat. The kids had such a good time and go so much candy. Daddy and mommy of course "checked" it to make sure it was all safe. (I used to hate it when my parents did that!)

For some reason in this picture I am really excited?!?

Josh and our little trick or treaters..

The parking lot was completely full, Jackson started to get tired of walking to all the cars.

One word...ADORABLE!!!

Duke was a monster. At least three time while we were trick or treating people told Josh that he had a beautiful little girl. He would reply more than a little irritated, "It is a boy!"


By the end of the evening Jackson was dragging his bucket because it was too heavy for him to carry.

Our little Jedi.

First Day of School

Here are some pictures of Jackson's first day of school. He was sooooo excited! He has already learned so much! I can't belive how fast he is growing up. We are so proud of our little jedi!





One of the many toys they have at preschool.




He loves to play in the house. The other day I picked him up and he was making daddy cake for his birthday in the house. What a cutie!
Love the blue eyes!

Last weekend we went camping on the beach with a bunch of friends. We had an amazing time! Jackson loved the water and he loved having so many friends to play with. Josh was great at boggie boarding. I caught one good wave and then I was out of the water. It was a pretty chilly weekend. We are so blessed to have such a great group of friends! Here are some photos of the weekend...more to come!
Day One: A little chilly, but Jackson doesn't care he just wants to go in the water.
Jackson feeling how cold the water is!
His teeth were chattering but he didn't care. He loved chasing the waves with mommy and daddy.

Duke stayed on the beach. He was afraid of the waves and would cry when we brought him close to the water.
Day Two: I could barely move I was so sunburnt on my legs. On day one I fell asleep holding Duke the only thing NOT under the umbrella was from my knee down...I didn't know that until later that night. Ouch!
Jackson's spot for most of the trip.
He was soooooo happy!
Awwwwww...My Boys....

Duke laughing at his brother. He just loves that guy!

Ahhhhhhhh I LOVE my babies blue eyes!
We were looking for things with our "binoculars".

WINNER!!!

Here is the good news, it was posted on facebook a week ago.

"Sorensen Studios Using a random number generator is fun! It has selected my WINNER! And the Winner of the free portrait session is Candace Arnold Perkins !!! Congrats!! She is one lucky girl, I know she wanted this!! Stay tuned for other events and specials....I'll keep you posted! Thanks for entering."

When I found out I started screaming. About a month ago I was telling my sister in law that we really needed some family pictures taken. We have no family portraits, and with my beautiful children that should be a crime. So Ashley knowing everyone showed me some websites of some people she knows that take pictures. I narrowed it down to two people and then saw some family shots that Selena did (Sorensen Studios) and then I was sold. I wanted Selena to take our first family portrait.
It goes without saying that if you know my husband you know how much he likes spending money soooooo, he said that we had to wait. Then Selena did a contest on Facebook. I entered thinking that there was no chance of me wining. But, I DID!!!
In October, we will have our pictures taken. Please go to Selena's website and look at the A-MA-ZING photos that she has taken and give me some ideas for our pictures. www.sorensen-studios.com
Look for our photos soon!!!
Thanks Selena!

Camping

Over the weekend we went camping with Josh's family. We had a great time! The only way to go camping is with a fifth wheel camper. If I have access to a regular toilet I could go camping for weeks. Here are some pictures from our adventure. They are courtesy of Nancy, because I am terrible at remembering to take photos.

What a rugged looking group!
Here we are getting ready to watch the fireworks in Heber. It was great to watch the fireworks where it was so cold.

Hard to see, but here is a picture of us watching the fireworks. Duke was so cute, he kept saying "oooooooo".

Jackson making a "big splash."

Jackson laughing at the dogs.

Duke enjoying Nana's fruit salad. Duke earned quite a reputation on the trip of eating and eating and eating. Uncle TJ really likes having another one in the family with a little belly.
