HALLOWEEN 2010!

We had a fun Halloween this year. Dax was (in his words) a big bad red dinosaur and Rhett was a tiny little turtle. We took pictures with his cousins on Scott's side of the family. Jett was a skunk, Baylee was a witch and had an awesome nose, Addison was Snow White and Maddex was spiderman. All great costumes.

SUCCESS!

Scott got a good size deer this year. He wasn't able to go out a lot, but in the end he came out with an awesome deer.
Luckily there is a girl at my work who loves deer meat. She begs me for it. GROSS! But it's awesome that she loves it so I don't have to eat it.

Scott kept the head and for Christmas he's getting it mounted which he is super stoked about.

Great job babes. And might I add, he shot it at 514 yards away. Amazing! I don't know a better hunter than Scott.

Potato Harvest!

Scott took Dax out one night to drive tractor with his Uncle Chris in the potato field. (Scott's brother) He wanted to drive all by himself, so Chris let him drive 150 ft all by himself. Dax was pretty proud of himself.

Dax doesn't have his hat on in this picture, but he wanted to wear a red hat just like dad. If you look in the picture above he has one on just like Scott. Pretty dang cute.

ROSS PARK!

We had a lot of fun going to the swimming pool this year. We were only able to go a couple of times, but enjoyed it. We look forward to going again next year and hopefully more than we went this year.

FRESH PEAS!

This summer we loved to pick peas out of our garden and sit on the grass to eat them. Both Dax and Rhett loved them and would eat them by the handfull. I'm pretty proud about my garden. This is the first year I've done it all by myself and it turned out pretty good.

CAMPING IN ISLAND PARK!

In August we went camping with Scott's family in Island Park and had a great time. Dax loved fishing with his dad and pulling Rhett around in the wagon. He also enjoyed riding his bike with all the kids. Our camping trips always include card playing, floating the river, fishing, riding bikes and enjoying the campfire with s'mores.

This year we were able to go see the play of Beauty and the Beast put on in West Yellowstone. What a treat. It's not the best picture of all of us but we enjoyed our time there. Dax was a little scared of the Beast but warmed up to him at the end. What great memories we have of camping.

AIRSHOW!

Scott took Dax to the air show on Saturday in Idaho Falls. The Blue Angels came. Dax hasn't stopped talking about them since. In his prayers he always makes sure he blesses the blue airplanes in the air before he finishes the prayer.

Dax loves vacuums. He loves to get them all out. And yes we have four vacuums. The two on the ends are Dax's and the two in the middle are mine. Dax loves vacuum so we vacuum any chance we get.

Rhett thinks he's big enough to stand up to things now.

He also thinks he's big enough to climb. He'll climb his crib, the tub, the stool, the stairs it doesn't matter they are all fun.

Dax thinks he pretty cool to be able to feed Rhett. He's such a big brother, feeding, rough housing or just giving loves.

DAX AND RHETT!

RHETT!

DAX!

NEW HELMET AND SUMMERTIME!

This is Dax's new helmet. His uncle Randy gave it to him. He is set to go ride the four wheeler with Daddy's shoes and his winter gloves. He loves this thing, he can even put it on all by himself.

This is Dax with his friend Blaze. We had them over the other day to play in the water. They went back and forth from the slip and slide to the pool.

It was so funny to watch them run on that slide. It was extra slippery for some reason, so they couldn't run on it without biffing it. Hilarious!

They even got to eat outside. They had to eat fast though, because some ants decided it looked good too. They had a blast! We love being outside especially in water.

FIRSTS!

First time riding his bike for the year. First time feeding the ducks in Island Park and seeing a muskrat. First time riding snowmobiles in Island Park. First time putting his coat and gloves on all by himself. First time flying a kite. First time eating oatmeal cereal.

Easter 2010

This year Easter was a lot of fun. Dying eggs, egg hunts, candy and more candy, a great dinner and finding a basket with all sorts of cool things. Dax really enjoyed all the activities, still not understanding the whole Easter bunny thing. He was very proud of his football Easter egg that we dyed. We stood in line at the fire station in Wellsville waiting for the egg hunt to begin. Snow and rain, it doesn't matter. Easter egg hunts are the best. I do have to say that seeing the fire truck was probably his favorite.

TIRED BOY!

I find it funny how kids can fall asleep in the funniest and most uncomfortable places.
