Happy birthday snuggle cub. You are such a joy to our family. You have learned and grown so much this last year.  You became a Sunbeam, and you started Preschool. You are becoming so independent, it makes us happy and sad (and frustrated too). I hope you always have the sweet spirit you have now. You are a good big brother to Anderson. He loves you so much and looks up to you.

We love you so much!

The Wonder Twins strike again!

 We decided it was finally time to take our old carpet out and put new Bamboo floors in. As usual, there were a few snags along the way. Here is a picture of the first snag we ran into.

 After we pulled out the carpet, we found that we had hardwood floors this whole time! David wanted to tear the hardwood out, but I said we should just leave it. He didn't agree, but I won because they glued the floor down and we couldn't get it out.

 Our second snag was the nail gun we rented didn't work on our floor because Bamboo is too hard. We had it drill oles and then sink the nails by hand on the first three lengths.

 After that, it was smooth sailing the rest of the way.

 We had some help along the way.

 We tried to do most of the work while Nate was in school and AJ was napping.

 Nathan using some of the underlay to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle (I know, he looks like a burn victim).

 As soon as we were done Nathan got out his baseball stuff to play ball in the house.

Any time David lies down on the floor, Anderson climbs on for the ride. AJ thought he was doing push-ups and was disappointed when he didn't get a ride.

We are very pleased with how our floor turned out. Not too shabby for two people who have never done any flooring before. Now if only we could find the time to move all the furniture back in from the garage.

 

(One day David was talking to one of his friends about all the projects he and I have done together, and his friend said we are the Wonder Twins.)

Oh Nathan, we love you so much!

We got Nathans very first school picture back the other day. I love it! It is so cute.

Today was Nathans first Primary program. Even though I had to sit on the stand with him, he did a pretty good job. They sang lots of songs, part way through  the program Nathan took it upon himself to start announcing each of the songs. It was very cute, the music would start, and Nathan would loudly announce what song it was.  They got to sing two of Nate's favorite songs which are: When I am Baptized and Scripture Power. Nathans part in the program was supposed to be the very last part, the caboose, but Nate line jumped a little because he was so excited. His part was "Joseph Smith saw Jesus Christ". He said it very loud and clear.

We had a lot of people come up to us after the program was over and tell us how cute they thought Nathan was.

Halloween

 The dynamic duo were out last night saving the neighborhood from evil doers! Batman (Nathan always says "the black Batman") and Robin went trick or treating to a few houses last night. Not many people in our subdivision participate in Halloween. However our next door neighbor texted me to make sure they didn't miss us. We went over to their house and they made cute little baskets for Nathan and AJ.

 After a couple of houses we went back home, to pass out candy to any trick or treaters that came. We had a record number this year-9. (Our neighbor had 11).

 Nathan's class got to go trick or treating to some of the classes at the high school, he came home with a full bucket of candy plus some!

 The candy Nate got from school.

 Saturday we had our ward trunk or treat. Anderson fell asleep on the way there, and when we woke him up he just stood in the same place for at least ten minutes, very confused.

 The only picture I could get of Nathan and AJ together. Nathan spent the whole night playing and running around with all his friends.

 We carved our pumpkins, and Nathan gave us all jobs to do. Daddy was the cutter, mommy was the scooper and Nathan was the helper (he should have been the supervisor since he didn't do anything).

One happy pumpkin and one spooky pumpkin

Nathan showing off the jacket Aunt Llew sent him. He loves that it glows in the dark!

 Costume check! Good, they both fit, however Nathan's is a little big and AJ's is a little small-but they will work.

 Anderson as Robin- Batman's sidekick

 The black Batman!

 Super strong!

 I think this is a great Dark Knight (Christian Bale) face.

 The dynamic duo!

 In the Batmobile

 We had a Halloween party for some of our friends. The house was decorated for a Monster Mash!

We made spooky crafts.

Ate spooky food... and took fun pictures.

 Our Halloween festivities lasted over a week, but we had a lot of fun! We listened to Halloween songs in the car everyday for over a month- Nathan will sing Ghostbusters, Batman, Spiderman, Monster Mash and Godzilla all the time now. It is pretty cute!
