More visitors

We were lucky enough to have Scott's other set of grandparents come and visit us last week from Logan. The kids loved having so many visitors and all the extra attention. These picture are all in reverse order but we had another fun filled weekend with the Crockett's and my mother-in-law (who stayed behind with the first group left).

We had an early birthday celebration for Grandpa Crockett. He got to wear this awesome hat while the waiters sang to him. It's worth it for free ice cream right?!



Of course the boys each had to have several turns blowing out the candle.


Jaden loves climbing trees and he also loves to have me take his picture.

After church on Sunday we drove over to the cemetery. A women in Logan had said that the Yakima cemetery was the prettiest she had ever seen so we had to go and let them check it out themselves. We also snapped several shots of the kids. I wish I would have thought ahead to have us wear nice clothes so we could try for a decent family picture, it was gorgeous outside that day.

This is Jaden trying to help Logan figure out were to stand for his picture.

Feeding some ducks at the cemetery.

Despite the rain we took the boys to a pumpkin patch on Saturday.

We let our boys paint the pumpkins when they first get them. I think we will probably carve them tomorrow now that it is closer to Halloween.

Earlier last week Scott and I went to a murder mystery party. The theme was 1930's Hollywood premier. We only had two days to come up with costumes. I think we did pretty good. Regardless of how we looked, we had a blast and it was fun to get of the house without the kids.

This is another of Jaden's "Mom take my picture"

This is another random picture of Jaden just lounging around the house.

Birthday Weekend

Logan turned 2 this weekend and we had a house full of company to help him celebrate. Scott's parents, grandparents and his sister's family drove over from Utah/Idaho and spent a few days here. It was a good motivator to get our house in order, never mind the fact that we have lived here for 5 months already. I convinced Scott to let me buy a new couch and loveseat a few days before they arrived. I'm thinking next time we have company we are going to have to invest in a new dining room set :)

We drove up towards White Pass on Saturday, about 45 mins away. It was gorgeous but freezing!

Jaden asked me to take his picture while sitting on this rock. He's so cute.

Of course Logan wanted one of him too.

After church Logan was able to sneak in a cupcake before the actual part started. This is the face he makes now when I tell him to smile.

The crew: Mitchell, Logan, Jackson, and Jaden

Logan had a cookie monster themed party since he is our little cookie monster. Logan loves sweets and it constantly stealing everyone else's food. I attempted to make a cooking monster pinata. It didn't turn out exactly like how I had envisioned it in my head, but good enough to have a bat taken to it.

Checking out their loot.

Opening gifts.

The boys loved their new cousin Grant. Jaden starting bawling when they left saying he missed Grant and wanted him to come back.

Four generations of Holt's.
