Family Pictures

I knew family pictures would be a challenge (aren't they always?) but I really thought we could pull it off. 

I was wrong. 

We tried...

and we tried....

again...

and again

and again.

But finally, after all the funny faces and blurry pictures we found ONE that would pass.

Photoshoot

Looking at these pictures nearly makes my heart burst out of my chest. I love these faces so very much!!!

I had such a hard time choosing my favorites (which is why I had to buy the CD), but here are a few....

 

Two Months Old!

I finally caught one of Andrew's winning smiles on his two-month birthday. He is so much fun and so sweet. McKay loves to try to get Andrew to smile. This time is SO precious and going too fast!

Andrew's Blessing Day

We blessed Andrew on Sunday, November 6th in the Heritage Park Ward. We felt so blessed to have our families come and spend the day with us. We had a little brunch with approximately 40 people in our little apartment. 

Halloween 2011

My little pumpkin.

For most of the year, McKay said he wanted to be a pirate for Halloween. He changed his mind to be a fireman somewhere in the middle of the summer. We found his costume in August and he's been wearing it almost on a daily basis. I'm glad he's getting so much use out of it.

Our handsome firefighter and cute little pirate.

We traveled up north to spend Halloween with Nathan and went trick-or-treating with the Wrigleys. 

All bundled up for a chilly walk around the neighborhood.

Livestock Parade and Nathan's Birthday

We were really excited for McKay to get another chance to see tractors in a parade. They make his 

little-boy heart so happy! Our favorite was the tractor that put out tons of steam. A bonus was watching the sheep run down Main Street right in front of us. 

Nathan's birthday was on a Sunday, so he got to celebrate it at home with us. 

I made Nathan a ghost cake (McKay's request) and a pumpkin pie. We joined Nathan's family at his sister's house to celebrate.

 

Before Nathan headed back to Salt Lake we carved our pumpkins. 

 

And had ghost pancakes for dinner. 

Trunk or Treat

A few days before Halloween, the car dealerships in Cedar City hold a Trunk-or-Treat event and let little ones stop by for games and candy. We joined the Jolley cousins for the fun.

Cutest pirate ever!
