And Then There Were 4.....

As of June 2011 we will be a family of 4! We are so excited to be adding a new member to our family and for Everett to have a little sibling!

Dallas Trip

This past week we had the opportunity to go home for my brother's wedding. We had a blast as usual. This trip was a little more hectic then our usual trips, but fun none the less. Our first night there, Everett was able to have a sleepover with his cousin Porter. My mom bought them matching pajamas. Porter kept saying they had dog shoes on.

We went shopping and of course had to make a trip to McDonald's so Porter could play with Everett on the playground! Everett kinda liked it in the beginning, but by the time we got up into the tubes he was not quite so fond of it!

The rest of our week was filled with getting everything ready for the wedding. Everett went and had his first "big boy" haircut. He got to go with the boys and get their hair cut for the wedding.

I had the opportunity to make their wedding cake. I was very honored, but nervous. I just wanted it to be perfect. They had decided they wanted a cupcake wedding cake and cake balls for the grooms cake. I think everything turned out pretty nice! The wedding was of course beautiful. JOrdan made a beautiful bride and we're so happy to have her as part of our family now! Unfortunately I took pretty much no pictures of the wedding or reception to show for everything.

After things wound down we were able to enjoy a few days of just haning out with family and relaxing!

Dad's Little Helper

As I've mentioned before Everett is our little helper. He helps with the dishwasher, put his diapers in the trash, cleaning the kitchen floor. He's pretty cute when he does everything even when some of those times he really creates more work! That's really only with the dishwasher. He LOVES taking the dishes out even when you're trying to put them in.

A couple weeks ago we bought a new TV stand for our bedroom. When Todd went to put it together he of course had his little helper right next to him. He wanted everything Todd had. So of course he'd try and steal his screwdriver. We got him his own, but every time Todd put his tool down Everett would go swipe it.

Ward Trunk or Treat

Todd and I have had in mind what we wanted to dress Everett up for Halloween for a whole year! Todd came up with the idea last year, but we just never went with it. Everett was born with a lot of hair and has always had a decent amount so we thought this idea would be perfect.

A little before the trunk or treat Todd started getting Everett all ready.

When we were all done Everett became our very own little Alfala!

We thought he was prefect. I was afraid no one would really recognize who he was, but to my surprise everyone did. Everett of course loved all the attention. We tried showing him how to get candy but he would just run down the parking lot. After a little of running around we finally took him by the hand and showed how people give him candy and then he puts it in his bag.

By the end he became quite the pro and would do it by himself!

Pumpkin Patch

A couple weekends ago Todd and I decided to head out to a little pumpkin patch down in Idaho Falls. Last year our pumpkin patch was a huge let down. Luckily this year we found a place that was a big hit and pretty popular. We got there the weekend before Haloween so things were a little picked over, but we were still able to find us a few pumpkins to carve. I thought I'd try to get some good pictures of Everett, but he was not into taking pictures at all. I honestly don't know what was wrong. If there was too many people or what. Luckily towards the end he started warming up!

A few days later we were able to finally carve our pumpkins. Todd was doing a spider and I was carving an owl. After I realized I hadn't bought any candles for them. So i decided I'd head to the store the next day then we'd put them on the porch and I'd get some pictures. Sadly enough I kept forgetting until we noticed they had already started to mold. We had fun even without taking pictures!
