JJ pics

Here is my baby!! He is such a happy boy. Every time we talk to him he smiles back. He is getting bigger by the day.

Fall is just beautiful!!!!

We have a huge tree in our back yard...every fall we have a ton of leaves to pick up. This year Brian had a great helper(Mckay loves to help Daddy).

Halloween Fun

Halloween was full of excitement! I dressed up as a BYU football player, Brian was my referree, Mckay was a monkey, and JJ was a cute little frog. We started off with a Trunk or Treat at the women's shelter here in Provo. About 20 cars from our ward filled the parking lot at the women's shelter (it is hidden from the street, locked in with a gated door and very secure). It was a great experience to serve and help give these kids the same opportunity as others. Mckay went around collecting candy as well, that is until he found a football and wouldn't let it go. He forgot all about the candy after that. The kids really seemed to like it and a lot of people showed up from our ward making it that much better for all.

Afterwards we went Trick or Treating here in our neighborhood. With the first few doors Mckay was kind of confused and walked into the people's living room when they opened the door. On all of the houses that presented him with candy in a bowl, Mckay would carefully choose a candy and place it in his bag, one after another, until we stopped him. He wanted as much candy as he could get from each house. His favorite candy is a sucker. Whenever he had the chance to choose, he would dig through the bowl looking for a sucker. Sometimes he would pull out two or three. We had so much fun since Mckay really understood Halloween this year. He would make the "ooh, ooh, eeh, eeh" noises like a monkey and scratch his head whenever the people asked. He wanted to get JJ involved as well and helped push the stroller around the neighborhood. He does a good job at being the big brother. By the time we circled around the neighborhood, JJ was asleep and Mckay was poopedand ready for bed, even though he wanted to keep going. We came home, gave Mckay a bath and he was ready for bed. We all had a great time!!

Photo in BYU magazine

Brian went to the BYU football game last Saturday here in Provo. Brian opened up his friend's program/magazine for the game and noticed this picture. The article is about the fans at BYU's stadium on page 68. Our good friend Frank is on the left in the black shirt, Brian is right above him with the hat on, then I am underneath Cosmo the cougar, and Amy is right next to me. This was taken last year at one of the first games when we used to sit on the front row. Brian's friend told him that this picture has been in every magazine so far this year for each home game. Pretty cool!!

Brian fue al partido de football de BYU el sabado pasado. Abrio la revista de BYU y encontro esta foto. Habla de los fanaticos de BYU. Sacaron esta foto el ano pasado y la incluyen en la revista de cada partido de BYU. Nuestro amigo, Frank, tiene la camisa negra, Brian esta mas arriba con el gorro, yo estoy debajo del Cougar (mascota de BYU) y mi cunada esta al lado mio. Ahora somos famosos!!
