Trick or Treat!

The fun started when Dad came home early from school and took the family to find Halloween costumes - this is a big deal considering Brian doesn't care much for the holiday. Marcus always wears every boot he can find so this was a pretty good excuse to get him his own cowboy boots and of course what cowboy would be complete without a black Stetson and a red bandana. Tyson almost got in on the cowboy action with a red hat of his own, but despite his abnormally large head, he still needs to grow a few sizes before he will own one himself. The trick or treat action was intense with Marcus saying "more candy, more candy" between every door. We wondered if he would even understand what he was doing but I guess it isn't that difficult - all you need to do is knock on a door, look cute, and get some candy in a bucket.

Dancin' With the Animals

Marcus was having fun with his dancing frog today. You can't see the frog but he dances too. He was having so much fun that he had to include his Lion! We danced for quite a while, I loved it! Oh to be young again!

The Last of the Good Weather

Today we went to Como Lake for a little walk. We have been trying to get outside as much as possible while we still can.

While we were on our walk we saw a bald eagle! We couldn't believe it- in the middle of a metro area! It's not the best picture but we promise it is a bald eagle.

Here's our boys! Tyson has finally got a tooth! We think that there are more on the way. They are having lots of fun now that they both can get around.

A Little Piece of Ty

Tyson just turned 9 months today! He is getting big, we went to the doctor today and found out that he now weights 18 lb and 7 oz (18th percentile), is 27 inches long (12th percentile), and 18 1/4 inches for his head (80th percentile). So pretty much he is small except for his head! He is doing great and we sure love him!

Jeana!

This past weekend Jeana came to visit! It was so much fun to have her come and be with our family! It was our own little vacation! Marcus and Tyson really had so much fun with Jeana, Marcus is still talking about her! Some of the things we were able to do while she was here were: Como Lake for a good morning walk, Children's Museum, St. Paul Temple, Mall of America, Minnehaha Falls, and we even topped it off with a visit to the Cheesecake Factory. Thanks so much for coming to visit us Jeana we love you so much or as Marcus would say..."much!"

Tyson's Crawling!

Tyson is just starting to get around! He really hasn't officially started crawling but is doing some sort of army crawl. It is really fun! It happened pretty quick, and I don't think it will be too long until he really starts going! This picture is Tyson just getting on his hands and knees and bouncing, he sure is having a lot more fun getting around now.

Conference Weekend

This past weekend was wonderful! It was so nice to have our whole family together watching conference. The boys really did great too. We just had to keep them entertained. This is the fort that Brian made for Marcus Sunday afternoon. I am sorry that I didn't get much of it but I was good to get anything...our camera was dying. Marcus had so much fun and even a little too much fun, at one point he tried jumping off the couch onto the suspended blanket and fell onto the ground, but still came up smiling. The best part for me was to see how proud his father was to be making a fort for his son. I sure love my family!

Just Messin' Around!

This past week has been lots of fun playing with the boys! Here are just some fun pictures.
