Lost a tooth

Ali lost her first tooth this morning with a little help from Grandpa Brent.  Her front two teeth have been really loose and we talked her into letting Grandpa trick it out.  She said it didn't hurt, but the minute she saw the blood she got light headed and sick.  We tried talking her into letting Grandpa trick the other one too, but no such luck.  She isn't going to be fooled twice!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

For Family Home Evening this week we went to a little park in town that is all set up with fun Christmas lights and music.  We enjoyed walking around and getting into the Christmas spirit.  Ali's favorite part every year is the big giant pad that has different sensors to lights up on a big tree.  So when you step on different parts of the mat different lights light up.  They have music and you dance on the pad and it is fun.

Danny enjoyed messing around on the sensor pad too!

Walking?

Grant is finally starting to try to walk.  Grandma asked for some video of him trying so here you go.  Hopefully he will be doing better when they get her next week to see him in person.

Hunting Season?

We get soooo many deer in our yard on a daily basis.  So I thought I would show you the one in my front yard this afternoon.  He was either in a fight with my tree or he was sharpening his antlers, but Grant and I had fun watching him.  So for all of you who can't get your deer for hunting season, come visit me.

$1.97 gas!!

Yep, your seeing that right.  Friday night our gas went below $2.  I am so pumped.  Ya, so I lost all my money in the stock market, but I don't remember the last time I filled up my car for 25 bucks!  Just thought I would rub it in and tell everyone how excited I am.  

Went to costco today and it is now $1.83!!!!

Happy Birthday, Grant!!

Today was Grant's 1st birthday.  It really snuck up on me being the very next day after Halloween, but it was nice having the whole Saturday.  We got to open presents and hang out and dig into his little bday cake.  I think his favorite thing to play with were some balloons we blew up and he could throw them and chase them around.  He is such a fun, sweet, smiley boy and I can't believe it has already been a year!  

Here are a few pictures of him with his presents and his fun celebrations.

Happy Halloween!

Hope everyone had a good Halloween!  We sure did try.  Ali was a cute little witch.  We tried tried to put green paint all over her face, but when it was all on Ali decided that didn't make for a very cute witch so we washed it off.  

Grant was a chicken and I dressed up like a farmer for Ali's school party.  

We headed out trick or treating around 4 o'clock to the local businesses and we got out of the car and it started down pouring rain before we even made it to our first store.  It poured and poured and didn't want to let up.  When it was finally just raining instead of pouring we went on the move and got some treats.  An hour later we headed back to our car and finally saw some blue sky coming.  This is a picture of a soaked Ali and her friends Emily and Kaitlyn.  They were cold and wet, but were excited to get popcorn from one of the last stores we went to.  

After the rainy trick or treating we got to go to the church to a much drier trunk or treating.  Ali had a lot of fun and Grant was a good sport through it all.
