Fall Catch Up

I know, I know we're a bit behind. But I'll do my best to catch everyone up...

First Halloween!
We love Halloween! My grandma always has a big party and she makes tons of different homemade soups and bread (she is an awesome cook!) and all the kids dress up and go trick-or-treating. This year we were just going to dress Cyrus up in some biker clothes, but he learned to talk like a monster so I had to make him a monster costume. A little insane starting a costume 4 days before Halloween when you have as much time as I have, but he was so cute as a wild thing! And he was nice and warm being in his costume all night :) He growled and talked like a monster all night! So cute!

We have the best leaves at our house in the fall. Not so fun to rake up and get rid of, but all the kids love them! This year all the neighbor kids came to help me rake/play and had a ball! Thanks guys!

Thanksgiving...always fun, we get to have lunch with my family and dinner with Trav's which is so much better than having on and off years. I made rolls and pies, the rolls were awesome, but I think I'm giving up on pies. Not my thing. Cyrus loved it because my family completely spoils him. He played with my cousin Jodi all day, who is one of his favorites, and she let him have whatever he wanted. Fun for him, not so much for me since all he wanted was pickles. Yep, pickles. I think he ate about 20 of the small uncut dill pickles. Nothing else, just pickles. He stunk like pickles for 2 days! Yikes!

Then at the Hobbs he got to help grandma snap the beans. He spent almost an hour saying "snap, snap." Luckily grandma bought enough beans he could ruin a few.

YAY!! New Family Pictures!

Our last family pictures were done when Cyrus was 2 months old, so we thought it was time for an update!

Our fantastic photo friend took them for us, Thanks Shantel!

Update with Pics

Cyrus is now 18 months old and started Nursery! Yay! He's been transitioning really well, and it's so nice to be able to do things without running around after him!
We went camping with some of our good friends the weekend of Peach Days and had so much fun, minus all the dust! Cyrus likes to run and fall too much to stay clean for long.

We also went to the duck pond to feed the ducks. It was fun. Cyrus' favorite part wasn't feeding the ducks, but luring them in so he could stomp out into the water and scare them all away. Thats what I get for having a little boy! :)

We went to the zoo one day with Amy, Rach, and Jaron and Cyrus spent most of his time with his auntie Rachael. He loved making noises for the all the animals. This was his pig face. It's my favorite!

My little monkey. He wasn't happy until he climbed up as far as he could on the lion statues.

The best part was the quiet drive home!

Cyrus has always had a ton of energy, and here's a good example of trying to get ready for bed. I put this in just for you Gav since you like to see Cyrus jump!

Always Running, Running, Running!

I can't believe it's been so long since we've updated our blog! We thought our life was crazy during the summer, but change always comes...

Travis started school again this fall. That means Tuesday and Thursday are shot with work til 5, school til 9, then work again till 11. Long days!

He was also called to be the secretary in the Young Mens, which he is so excited about, but then there goes our Wednesday...

I work during the day while Cyrus sleeps, then Monday, Wednesday, Friday nights and Saturdays, leaving us Sudays free to fill with church, family, and friends.

Add in Primary meetings, side jobs (Yay for christmas money), and family activities... Not much time for cleaning the house or laundry, so we'll see how that works out!!

We have been having a lot of fun in our spare time, ha ha, so I'll download some pics and post as soon as possible!
