He's Standing

I'm so proud and so sad at the same time. My little baby is growing up and becoming a little boy. He can crawl as fast as Wylie Coyote and now he can pull himself up to stand.

Puff Time

We decided to see how Ethan does with some puff cereal. It took him about 5 minutes to eat 1/3 of a puff. He kept spitting it out and putting it back in his mouth. I guess he's not quite ready for solid foods yet.

Go Rebels

Friday night was the first UNLV basketball game. The whole family went to the game. We made it to half time (we were up by 20 points and it was way past our bed times). We had a blast and can't wait to go again this weekend.

We may have to buy another seat next year. It was quite cozy with the four of us sharing our two seats.

Taylor loves watching the dancers.

Anderson Dairy Tour

We visited the Anderson Dairy (really just a factory) with our play group last week. We watched how milk is put into jugs and saw a bunch of fun ice cream machines.

We watched a movie about the history of the dairy. The kids were not really impressed, but I found it quite interesting.

At the end of the tour we ate some yummy ice cream that was made at the dairy.

We found a ladybug outside and watched it for a long time.

Trick-or-Treat

We had a blast trick-or-treating in our neighborhood on Halloween night. Nikki, Nana, Pa, Uncle Mike, Aunt Cindy, and the Rash Family came over to celebrate the holiday with us. We had a chili feast and then went door to door in search of some treats.

Our little pig loved Halloween. She got a ton of candy, but only likes lollipops. Mom and Dad will have to eat the rest!

Ethan got a lot of candy and loved playing in it.

Aunt Nikki's new dog Duke dressed up too.

Pumpkin Carving

Aunt Nikki came over and helped us carve pumpkins this year. I am not to sure why we carve pumpkins every year. After about 5 minutes I am so over the whole tradition. Taylor did enjoy it though. She didn't want to touch the seeds or goop but thought the knives were really cool.

We had a hard time finding a pumpkin we could fit Mr. Ethan in.

It was a beautiful day so we carved outside this year.

Aunt Nikki carved this Ernie pumpkin for Taylor.

Playgroup Halloween Picnic

Our playgroup had a fun picnic Halloween party at the park. It was the most beautiful day and we had a blast playing at the park and trick or treating at our friends blankets.

My two cuties. Taylor was a pig and Ethan was a caterpillar.

We had a great turn out. There were a lot of mommies and kids.

Taylor loves playing at this park.

We had the kids line up and go blanket to blanket to get their treats. Taylor was so thrilled to have candy. When we got home she was running around like crazy after eating all the sugar.
