Santa Claus & Our Boys

When we went to our ward Christmas Party, Santa Claus surprised us with a visit. As you can see, Reed couldn't take his eyes off of Santa. The past 2 years haven't gone as smoothly, but I think Reed and Santa are now friends. Jett on the other hand wasn't quite sure who this guy was. His face says it all!

Moab trip in November

Brett and I were able to go jeeping in Moab this past November, and we LOVED it! This was my second time, and I enjoyed it so much more this time than my first trip. The first time we went to Moab I got out of the jeep and walked a lot. This time I think I only got out and walked once or twice. Thanks Jay and Courtney for making this trip possible!! We can't wait until next year!While we waited for each jeep to complete the obstacles, Brett and I had a lizard catching competition. Sadly to say, Brett won.
In the picture below we are driving into a bathtub (jeeping lingo). The next picture is us climbing out of the tub.Yes, even I had my turn behind the wheel. I'd much rather be the passenger than the driver!The Sierra Homes Crew

HaPpY HaLlOwEeN

After school on Friday, I loaded the boys into the car and we drove to visit my parents. My cute nephew, brother, and sister-in-law met up with us there. We had fun taking pictures of the three boys, and then we all went trick or treating together. Thanks again Dad for taking these fun pictures.Some of you might be wondering why Brett is MIA (missing in action) for the last couple of "family" photographs. It's that time of year again. He went was on an elk hunt this past week. He is home now, and yes his hunt was successful. I'll post more details and pictures when I get them.

Pumpkin Walk

Another fall tradition of ours is to go check out the Pumpkin Walk. The line this year was a lot longer than I've ever seen it so we took more pictures waiting in line than we did of the actual pumpkins. It was fun to take Reed this year because he was old enough to enjoy it. Of course Jett was perfectly content hanging out in his stroller. We had a lot of fun, and we're excited to see all of the pumkins next year.

Thanks Chelsey for taking these fun pictures for us!!

CoRn MaZe

A few weekends ago we went to a corn maze with our friends. It was great weather, and the kids loved getting lost in the maze. We let the 3 amigos lead the way, and they loved the freedom. When it started getting dark, the adults decided to take charge. By then none of us had a clue where we were, and the map wasn't helping us very much. We ended up leaving the corn maze through the entrance because we couldn't find the exit.

Halloween Party

Each year we celebrate Halloween with Brett's family and all of the little cousins. This year the kids helped carve pumpkins, decorate cookies, and dress up in their costumes. Here are a couple of pictures from the party.

Pictures of the Boys

These pictures were taken about a month ago by my wonderful and talented Dad. Jett is 6 months in these pictures, and Reed is 2, almost 3 years old. It was a beautiful day, and I was pleased with the outcome of our photo shoot. Thanks again Dad!!
