Look at US!!!

So, here we are! Halloween night 2007! Peter is Bob the Builder (Its as close as I could get it and he loved it!), Andrew is a pumpkin, Anthony is a melodrama villian, and me...well, I'm suppose to be a 70's Prom Queen but most people just thought that I was Prom Queen. But that's fine! We had a lot of fun! We had a trick or treat at the office where Anthony works (where this picture is taken) and then a ward party out at our Bishop's farm, and then a Tietjen family party. Peter and Andrew loved getting the candy! Andrew's eyes would light up every time someone handed him a piece of candy. I needed to be better about taking pictures of stuff like that. I just get too distracted by everything else that is going on! It's been a great night but I'm glad that Halloween is only once a year!

Our Two Little Princes

Today's project was making hats, mostly because I needed a crown for my Halloween costume tomorrow. Peter had a lot of fun coloring his hat and putting the stencils on and having me trace them for him. I made one for Andrew because he was suppose to be taking a nap in his crib (he was in his crib but not sleeping.) It was a lot of fun and will hopefully entertain them a little today.

Three Peas in a Pod

Now that we have hit mid-semester, Anthony and I feel busy then ever. Our homework load has caused late nights and early mornings. Thus, making us a little tired. Anthony came home from work and decided to lay down for a little while. Peter brought him a pillow, a blanket, and his(that is Peter's) stuffed puppy. Peter then wanted to lay down too and of course Andrew then wanted into the action as well! It was just too cute not to take a picture!

Pumpkin Time!

This is us craving this year's crop of pumpkins! This is Anth cleaning out our pumpkin! He did an awesome cleaning it and also craving a face into it! I gave him that opportunity since I really don't like putting my hand in pumpkin goo!

We let Peter help clean it out. He thought that was pretty cool to put his hand in the pumpkin. He loves to see pumpkins! Everytime we go anywhere, he always says, "Look, Mommy! Look at the pumpkins!" and demands that we go look at them!
Andrew just loved pushing the pieces into his pumpkin! This was a great investment! I didn't have to worry about knives or markers and it was simple enough Andrew could do it. I let them each choose what faces they wanted to put in their pumpkins. Andrew is so good natured and he just love doing anything that Peter or one of us is doing.

The Final Product!

Our pumpkins are all complete. Peter's are on the left and with ours in the middle and Andrew's on the right. Craving pumpkins is one of the best parts of Halloween!

I'm a big boy now!

Peter is finally potty-trained and loves wearing underwear. One day I came home from class and he had put on every pair of clean underwear that he had left. It was so funny to watch him try and walk around. I think that there were 7 pairs here. His favorite pairs are the ones with Cars(Disney) and Scooby Doo!

Playing in the snow a Alisha's family's over General Conference weekend.

For Conference weekend we decided that we would go down to Grandma Monson's house to watch Conference on the big screen! Oooo! Our trip ended up being a little delayed because of the snow storm that hit that morning. We didn't make it out of Rexburg on our first attempt and Peter was so upset. We turned around and came home and had hot chocolate and marshmallows. During the break we ventured down to Firth , only to have the power go out. But my parents, being well-prepared, plugged in their generator so that we could watch Conference. Sunday during the break between Conference, we decided to go out and build a snow man, uh... I mean snowwomen. That lead to a snowman and then to a snowbaby! It was so much fun! Peter has been talking about it ever since! Andrew , on the other hand, has never seen snow before and his first encounter wasn't so hot. Uncle James, my brother, was holding him and James got hit by a snowball and some of it went onto Andrew's face. Whenever we would try to put him down, he would scream his guts out. As you can see in the picture! I'm sure that he will get over his fear as winter continues to come upon us.
