October Pics

We haven't figured out why, but Deacon *loves* looking at people upside down. In this picture, Nathan was holding him normal. When he heard my voice, instead of turning his head to the left or right to see me, he arches his back until he almost flips out of Nate's arms so he can look at me upside down!

He crawled out of his pants (background) and kept right on going. Now that I think about, he was heading towards the bathroom.....maybe he is a genius and can't wait to start potty-training :)

The Sticker Monster
is gonna get you!!!!











Grandma and Grandpa Hunt
came to visit this weekend;
Grandpa and Deacon had a
staring contest.











So many toys......so little time!

A Beauti'fall' Day!

I honestly did not stage these pictures----he is just that cute!








I was working outside and letting Deacon play in the grass. I watched him observe each leaf, inspecting it for edibility, and I just knew I had to run for the camera!










The weather is one thing I truly love about Utah. I had heard of these so called "Four Seasons" but I had always thought it was just a hotel chain....

Halloween Party

Nathan and I hosted a table for our ward's Halloween Party. Each table has it's own theme, 4-5 couples are assigned to each table; then everyone at that table dresses up and brings food to match the theme. We know not everyone is WSU fans, so we made it a "Tailgate Party" theme and everyone could support their own team. Notice the tailgate to the left (holding the food), that is actually from Nathan's truck! In the bottom right, we painted astroturf to look like a football field. Add some hotwings and we're good to go!

Children weren't allowed at the ward halloween party (weird, right?), so that night Deacon had is first "official" babysitter. We still dressed him up in Weber gear--thanks to Monica for the awesome purple outfit. Now if only WSU's football program were worthy of its supporters...:) I think he was laughing at me in this pic because I was wearing a purple wig and black stripes under my eyes.

September Summation

Can you believe Nathan tried to take Deacon in public wearing this outfit?! Stained navy blue striped socks, a onesie with puppy dogs on it, and camouflaged pants with remnants of lunch on the front. I had to take a picture because it will never happen again!

September Summation
It's only September, yet starting to cool,
Time for Nathan to go back to school.
Aubrey's at work, three days a week.
Our son learned to crawl, ''Way to go, Deac!''
We were set to move on Saturday the eighth,
We found that moving requires great faith.
We sold our home in less than three days,
But said, "Cross our fingers until the bank pays."
They finally did on September twenty,
Finally--our fingers were sure bruised plenty.
We were just settling in---a bit over a week,
When the Bishop dropped by and asked us to speak!
Nathan on preparedness, both in physical and spirit,
He had a great story, you should call him to hear it!
'Blessings of Conference' was Aubrey's topic,
The big crowd made her wish that she was myopic.
Our month flew by, I'm sure yours did too!
Drop us a line, "What did you do?"
