A move, pumpkins, halloween, a birthday that almost wasn't and an unwelcome visitor...


This past month or so has been super busy.  We've moved out of our apartment and into a house.  That was a super adventure along a super bumpy road, but that's a story for another day.  The point is that we're in!  And we're loving it!

James locked the keys in the moving truck... oops!



The boys were BIG helpers.  They hauled a bunch of random stuff down the stairs and even helped us pack too.  Ethan packed this box from the pantry.



James is such a hard worker.... he carried a ton of stuff down those stairs.  We were lucky to have lots of guys from our ward come over and help us load and unload.  We're so grateful they gave up their Friday evening to help us!  We also had ladies who took our kids so I could pack and someone even sent us some dinner they day we moved.  We are so appreciative!  We definitely felt the love!



Soon after our move it was time for all things Halloween!  We carved pumpkins, turned a 4 year old into a firefighter and a two year old into the cutest lil' sheriff you have ever seen.  Every door we went to "look at that cute little cowboy!"  It was a lot of fun to take the boys trick or treating around our neighborhood.  After they were tired of walking around the boys and I relieved Daddy of candy duty.  Those boys sure loved giving candy away.  I wonder how long that will last!  It was so cute!





This little guy has friends, and they like to live in our kitchen.  Just great!  But I guess it could be worse... they could have been rats!  Anyone have a recipe for fried lizard?  



So between the moving, cleaning out our apartment, all the little bumps in the road, and Halloween Joshua almost didn't have a birthday!  His cake sat on the counter waiting to be eaten for two days.  How sad!  Good thing he's two and doesn't really care that we had stale cake and no presents for his birthday. Next year we'll be better!
