Lost family member

Yesterday Doug sold his very first car. He bought this car after his mission and has driven it to work everyday for the last 10 years. My favorite memory of the car was our trip to San Diego with Dan and Kirty 2 months before we were married. I think that trip was when I knew I couldn't live without Doug.

That car has been from Arizona to Utah MANY times. Then it was taken on a truck to Boise where is was very reliable and then went on the long truck ride here to Minnesota. It was a little sad to see this part of our life be sold, but Doug said it was nice to have the cash in his pocket.

Good by to our trusty old Grand Am.

Happy Danny

Danny is starting to smile more and be a lot of fun. He is so alert and loves to watch his brothers play. That cute smile makes all the sleepless nights worth it all.

Happy Halloween!

Andrew and Jacob LOVE Halloween. Once I turned the calendar to October, Andrew has been watching the days go by until he could go trick or treating.

Doug was in Virgina the first of the week, so we waited to carve our pumpkins until Thursday night. I always love watching the boys faces as they clean out the pumpkins.

Batman Brothers

We went trick or treating for 2 1/2 hours. Andrew would have kept going, but Jacob was done. It was a beautiful night so we were able to take Danny in the stroller and all go enjoy the night.

As you can see the boys got plenty of candy.

Here is the latest picture of Danny. He is growing WAY to fast.

SUGAR Cookies

My boys put a whole new meaning to sugar cookies. I think after eating one of these cookies we will need a trip to the Dentist.

Jacob loved putting as many candies on each cookie as he could fit. We used a big bag of candy corns and a half of bag of chocolate chips. The boys had a great time. I also iced some, but didn't put any candy on them. We took them to our neighbors. Andrew told them that their cookies were boring. They said that we should have brought some the boys decorated. I guess I should have shared the sugar filled cookies.
Last Saturday we also went to an apple orchard and picked...you guessed it, apples. We went to this place last year and had to do it again. They take you on a ride out to the orchard on a wagon. We picked a 20 lb bag of apples.
Doug is holding Daniel, but his blanket was white and Doug's shirt is white too.

The boys loved picking the apples right off the tree.
Super Hero Boys!
After the apple orchard we went to a pumpkin patch to get our pumpkins. Andrew walked out and picked a tiny one. Doug told him to get a big one, but Andrew wanted to be able to carry it. Doug helped him find one he could carry, but was big enough to actually carve.

Jacob was more worried about finding one for Danny. He got his and then had to find the perfect small one for Danny. What a good big brother.
