It's getting cold!

We were really lucky that our warm weather stuck around for as long as it did, but it is definitely feeling like mid-November now. I have bundle us all up to walk Jaden to the bus stop every morning, but at least the boys look adorable while doing it! I on the other hand am usually sporting an over sized sweatshirt and my slippers (no need for a picture of that).




On Veteran's Day Jaden had the day off of school and to make it even more fun he got to spend the whole day with Jackson. At breakfast I told the boys to eat up because they had a lot of work to do raking up all the leaves in the yard. They were pretty excited about it and spent the morning making invitations and tickets to the leaf raking party. After lunch it finally warmed up enough that they could go outside and they had a blast playing in the leaves.






Even Cannon got in on the some of the action!



I took several of these pictures and in each one Logan is holding tight onto Jackson's leg. My boys sure love their cousins.



Due to parent/teacher conferences Jaden only has half days all week. On Monday we decided to jump in the car after lunch and head over to Seattle to see Mitchell at the children's hospital. Mitchell was as cute as ever and seemed really happy to see his buddy "Yodan".









Cannon and Mitchell have matching hairdos now! This picture reminds me of one I have of Jaden when he was a baby sitting on the hospital bed with Spencer. We are lucky to be able to live close to family.



Jaden is playing basketball this fall through the YMCA and loving every minute of it! Scott is his coach which makes it even more exciting for him. The first two weeks were practices and last night he had his first official game. They don't keep score, but if they did Jaden's team would have destroyed the other team. Jaden scored a basket from pretty far out and got a majority of rebounds (it helps when you are a head taller than everyone else your age).



In other equally exciting news, Logan got the okay yesterday to stop wearing his sling. He is still not suppose to run around or jump (yeah right) as they are worried about him rebreaking the bone. He goes back in about 3 weeks for another xray and if it is still healing nicely than he will get the clearance to be a normal three year old.





Go Blue Lightning!!!



Within a few minutes of playing Jaden is already bright red and sweating like crazy. He gets that from Scott, not me!

Halloween 2010

We were lucky enough to get some visitors a few weeks ago. Tyler and Kacey stopped and stayed with us for a day on their way to Seattle. It was fun to have them and we put them right to work decorating Halloween cookies with us.

I was taking pictures of Cannon and he decided to show off for the camera and roll over for the first time. He did it three times in a row that night, but has yet to do it since. I'm really happy that I got to see him actually roll over, with both Jaden and Logan they rolled over for the first time while I wasn't looking.



Cannon loves to hang out in his swing. He has fallen asleep in there several times and usually holding on to the little toys like he is in this picture.

At Jaden's school only the kindergartners get to wear their costumes to school. They wear them all day so the costume has to be recess and bathroom friendly. I convinced Jaden to wear an old costume instead of his new one so he went as Dr. Holt.


My wonderful Grandma turned 93 this year. Just like last year the people at Taco Bell (where she goes to lunch everyday) threw her a little party.

Cannon holding a double decker, Grandma Davenport's favorite! Grandma actually gave Logan his first bite of food - taco meat when he was only 2 or 3 months old ( I tried to fish it out as soon as I realized what had happened so I don't think he actually ate it).


We had a real birthday party for Grandma as well, Logan blew out the candles for her at this party.


Jaden and Logan LOVE Cannon and especially love it when he gets to do something they do. The boys thought it was the greatest to dress Cannon up for Halloween and were telling him all about trick or treating.












This is the view from my bedroom window. The picture doesn't do the tree justice, the leaves are so red that it usually looks like my bedroom is glowing. It's so pretty, I love it!
