Run Away! Run Away!

Last Friday at the ward party, Isaac and his little friend Joseph kept sneaking away. Once they found their way down the hall to the nursery room and started playing. This time they snuck out and found a couple of young women who were playing the piano in the Relief Society room. Isaac and Joseph abliged, both crawled up into their girlfriends (ha ha ha) laps and started playing. We are already worried for when they become young men! At least they have good taste.

Happy Halloween!

We carved these jack-o-lanterns at Grandma/pa Eddington's house. It was so memorable; we happily carved pumpkins and then sadly watch the Red Sox take the World Series- oh well, you can't have your pumpkin and eat it too! Garrett carved the traditional red-neck pumpkin (yes, there is such a thing), Grandma did the snow man (errr, scare crow), Sarah did the ghost, and Grandpa observed- as expected.
At church we do what is called a trunk or treat. We meet in the parking lot and pass out candy from our trunks. It's a good way to get a ton of candy fast! Isaac walked around aimlessly making his famous car sound (which produces excessive amounts of drool). He was more interested in the tailights of the cars than he was the candy or other trick or treaters. Someday he will understand the importance of candy, I guess we can't complain. The candy that Isaac did end up with Mom & Dad devoured in two days. We decided immediately to have more kids.
Isaac was a pumpkin (I think every kid is a pumkin at least once). In fact Sarah & her sister actually wore this same costume when they were little. I guess we shouldn't tease my mom for keeping everything :)
Isaac and cousin Graham- can't they stand still while we take a picture? Graham was a stick figure made out of glow sticks, it looks really cool in the dark. Check out the "Mountain Bryan" blog for some cool pics. Graham is in the middle of his disappearing act where he makes a peice of candy vanish.

Pumpkin Patch

So many pumpkins how do you choose just one! Mom and Isaac.
Okay, I got one lets go!

Isaac in the hay maze.
Cousins Graham, Isaac, Martin, and Alex. We tried so hard to get a cute picture but they just weren't having it. They're still cute boys even if they're cranky.
Alex and Graham had fun in the bouncy gym. We tried to put Isaac in but he wasn't so sure without his mommy by his side. He just sat in the doorway looking back at me.

Go Rockies!

Garrett was lucky enough to go to the game when the Rockies won the National League Penant. He cheered so loud that it took 3 days before he got his voice back.

California Fun

Mom, Me, and Liz in front of the L.A. Temple. I couldn't believe how big it is!
Keith, Mom, Liz, and Me at the Getty (an art museum) on the hillside of L.A.
We were able to pet and feed the dolphins at Sea World. As one little girl described they feel like hot dogs.
If you leave your hand in the water long enough the starfish will clamp down on your hand, they think your a rock. The water was freezing. It took a few miniutes before any feeling returned to my hand.
Mom, Keith, and Me. Please note my knock off designer purse purchased at the garment district in downtown L.A. I am very proud to report that I received three complements on my purse while shopping in Beverly Hills. I guess I fooled them.

Indian Summer

We took full advantage of what might be one of the last warm days of fall. We walked to the park, had a picnic lunch, played on the play ground, and rolled around on the grass. It was a perfect afternoon. There wasn't a cloud in sight.
Ahhhhh-Choo! Bless me!
Aren't I a sweet boy?
My pregnant belly is getting huge! Especially from this view.

Silly Me!

Isaac likes to help pull his shirt off when getting ready for bed. But this shirt was a little too tight he was running around his room laughing at himself and tugging at the shirt on his head.

Isaac can now use a straw! Except he still tilts the cup back when drinking.
