Witches Night

One of Jared's mom's favorite places is Gardner Village. During Halloween they have lost of fun Witches on displays and do fun witchy things all month long. She wanted to go see the witches so we decided to have a little fun and dress up as witches ourselves. It was a girls night out and I think everyone had a good time...I know I did.

I also made this scrap page...

Pick out a pumkin

Just down the street from us is the pumpkin patch. It's a place where kids and go walk through a corn maze, see some fun animals and pick out a pumpkin. Here are a few pictures of Ethan picking his first pumpkin.

Unfortunately we didn't even carve our pumpkins until Halloween day and we didn't even finish them. We didn't even have them outside and light on Halloween night...oh well!

Halloween

We had lots of fun this Halloween! We went to a trunk-or-treat, trick-or-treating with our family carved a pumpkin and I got to dress up as a Witch. Take a look!

This is my smiley guy in the car ready to go trick-or-treating.

Our first stop was to see an old friend...the Halfords. Every year they have a fun Halloween party and make yummy homemade root beer. This picture is of Ethan trying to grab the smoke.

Next we went trick-or-treating with Jared's sister and all of the cousins. Here's Ethan ready to go with his pumpkin in hand and he already has some candy.

Due to our busy day Ethan didn't get his afternoon nap so he feel asleep while we were trick-or-treating and missed out on all the candy.

He finally woke up once we got to this awesome house in AF. The yard is full of fun and scary Halloween stuff. There's even a movie playing on giant blow up screen and a spook alley for the kids.

Next we made our way to Great Grandma Burch's house to see the Withers side of the family. This is Ethan and my niece Adysen, she's little red ridding hood.

It was a fun, busy & somewhat stressful Halloween (stressful cuz our car broke down on our way to trick-or-treating but no worries it's fixed now)

Picture Tag

My old roomie Chelsea tagged me with a picture tag. You have to take the fourth picture folder and post the fourth picture in that folder. Then you take the sixth folder and post the sixth picuture in that folder. Explain the pictures and then send the tag along.

Here are my pictures...

This is taken at the hospital while I'm in labor with Ethan. We arrived at 9am and as you can see on the clock on the wall it's 1:20pm. Unfortunatlly we don't have Ethan until 9:30pm. It was a long day and I took this picture to show just how long the day was. I think Jared got sick of waiting and waiting and waiting. I know I did. I just sat in the bed and watched football with Jared.

This is another picture from our last photo shoot with Brittney. I'm trying to get Ethan to smile but he's just looking at me like mom what are you doing!

I tag Brittney, Leslie, Kristy, and Jenalee

Happy 1st Birthday!

Today is Ethan's first birthday! We can hardly believe that our precious little boy is already one. It's sad to think that he's grown so quickly but we are also excited for the years to come. We love our little boy so much and we feel so blessed to have him in our lives.

One year older & wiser too!

Today's my birthday! This is me 28 years ago.

My how I have grown :)

Silly boy

Sometimes...ok a lot of times Ethan makes me laugh. Last weekend we had lunch with my family at my Grandma house. She has a chair that moves up and down and my Grandma taught Ethan that the controller it is a phone. She kept telling him "hello, where's dad". Then he really thought he was funny and started playing peek-a-boo with my little sister Jenalee. Sometimes I think he's way to smart for his age.

Another AMAZING photo shoot!

Do you remember Ethan's 6 months pictures? Well my wonderful friend Brittney has done it again. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from our latest and greatest photo shoot!

Withers Camping Trip

This year we went to Payson Lakes for our Withers camping trip. It was really cold at night but we had a lot of fun. Everyone came including Grandpa and Celeste on Saturday for some fun at the lake and some yummy dutch oven dinner. Here are a few pictures...

Jared & Ethan

Beau & Ethan

My mom and Ethan. My mom was a great trooper on this campout. Ady LOVED to go for walks and my mom being the wonderful grandmother that she is took both grand babies for a walk. This picture was taken on their way back from one of those walks. We brought Ethan's little bus and it's a good thing we did. It was great entertainment for Ethan and Ady. Ady loved to push and ride Ethan's bus too so my mom found a way that they can both enjoy it at the same time...

He's getting big!

I feel like in a matter of a week Ethan went from my baby to my toddler. He how has 2 teeth, he can hold his own bottle, he says dadda and HE'S WALKING!!! Yes you read that right my 9 month old son is walking. Take a look...

And if you haven't seen him lately he LOVES to growl. Here are a couple clips of my growly bear :)

Something fun to watch

I've been meaning to put these videos on here for a long time so some of this is old news.

This video is of him using his walker (which he loves). When we brought it home he just grapped it and took off...and hasn't stopped since.

I love this video it just makes me laugh. Ethan loves to jump, even when he's not in his jumper.
