Pumpkin Patch 2009

We went to pumpkin patch this last week, we wanted to go early this year to make sure we got a couple big pumpkins. Usually we wait till the last minute, like the day before we are going to carve them, and then there is nothing good left, only small or smashed up pumpkins. This year we got some great pumpkins. Eli could have cared less about picking out his pumpkin he just wanted to race around in the wheelbarrow and try and do some tricks. We're excited for annual family carving contest-pictures to be posted later. Have a Happy Halloween!
Spencer had to compare the pumpkin to Eli's head-it had to be bigger than Eli's head-it's a Spencer thing!

I love this picture of him, he's holding his prize pumpkin

Eli being silly like usual, he's always got his tongue hanging out and drooling, he's like a dog!

Eli and Ethan, you can just barely see Ethan's little pumpkin- we got him a little mini pumpkin.

Ethan- 2 Months

Our little Ethan is two months old already, I can't believe it. He is such a good natured little baby, we have really been blessed. He is getting better at sleeping at night and only wakes up once. He just loves it when people will sit and talk at him. He smiles and jabbers back. He smiles alot and it just melts my heart, he is so adorable, we love him so much!! He also loves to be cuddled, which is the total opposite of Eli, even when he was a baby he never liked to rocked or cuddled. So I am enjoying my short period of time that I have to love and cuddle him.

Summer Fun

It has been a crazy and busy summer for our family. Unfortunately, our adventerous activities were limited since I was pregnant with little Ethan. We had to wait till Ethan was born before we were able to go on our one and only family outing for the summer. We had been looking forward to our trip all summer. We went down to St. George to the Sand Hollow Resevoir. We got to go boating and play on the beach for two days, it was fabulous and a much needed break from our day to day life.

Eli loved playing on the beach and in the shallow part of the lake.

Spencer pulling Eli around on the banana- this is about as wild as Eli would get.

Soccer SuperStar

This fall we put Eli into a soccer league. He is such a sports-aholic I knew he would love it, and he did!! He was so excited at his first game and he got a real soccer uniform just like his daddy wears, he even got to choose his own number #3- because thats how old he is. Eli has so much energy that he would run, run, and then run some more. It is so cute watching the young kids play, they all run in a herd trying to get to the ball and their coach is on the field too trying to remind them which goal they're aiming for. Eli loved having his friends and family there watching him and cheering him on, he was constantly looking on the sideline as he was running by-making sure we were paying attention.

Ethan all bundled up trying to stay cozy warm, Eli's last couple games got pretty chilly.
