Family

We are hosting it at our house this year and have 14 people coming over. Wish us luck!! I just love the holidays when you can get together with your family and eat good food. It's a win, win situation! Speaking of family, last night I had a dream about Nate. He was sick with something and he ended up dying. I was so distraught and sad. I woke up all sweaty and my heart was racing and I had tears in my eyes. It just reminded how short life can be and how much Nathan, Ian and the rest of my family and friends mean to me. I love you all!

High Five!

Nate recently taught Ian how to give a high five and clap his hands together. The other day at church, Nate was holding Ian and someone came up to them and held out their hand, Ian then slapped their hand like giving them a high five.

Giveaways

My sister-in-law over at Making Life Sweet is having a week full of giveaways. Her button is on my side bar so go over and check it out. She is giving away $25 in Scentsy that ends today. The coupon binder giveaway ends tomorrow, you can also win $30 to Custom Crochet or $300 worth of coupons.

My Workin' Man

Last night, Nate wanted to get into the crawl space to have a look around since he hadn't been down there since moving in. I was playing with Ian and glanced over and saw Nate wearing his garb. I wanted to get a picture cause it's not everyday that he wears clothes like this. (Although this is not the first time Nate has been in a crawl space...he used to do it quite often for his Dish installation job). He wouldn't pose for me, but I got a few candid shots. After He was done, I asked him how things looked. He said they looked pretty good, but then he saw a big spider and didn't want to be down there anymore. So funny! At least he's willing to do stuff like that. I'm sure he'll get a lot more experience as the years go on at doing not-so-pleasant jobs!

Here are a few of the things we have been doing around the house lately. These are the curtains in the Office and below are the curtains in Ian's room. I would like to paint a blue accent wall down the road in his room to go along with the curtains.

Here is the table that I recently got for the entryway. It's not a very big space, so we were keeping our eyes peeled wherever we went and I ran on to this at a local home decor store. We especially wanted to get the table to display our Willow Tree Nativity that Nate bought for me over the past couple of years. It is so beautiful, we didn't want to wait until after Thanksgiving to get it up, even though Christmas isn't for a little while.

Playtime With Elmo

Here is a video of Nate and Ian playing with Elmo. Ian is such a happy little guy.

A New Friend

We had some new friend's from our ward come over for dinner the other night. They also just have one baby boy and he is one month older than Ian. When Ian had played with Finley earlier that day, Ian kept crying whenever Fin would look or growl at Ian. This also happened a couple of weeks earlier when we went over to their house. Luckily, Ian must have adapted to Fin because they had a lot of fun together this time.

Fin is giving Ian one of his open mouthed kisses on the cheek. So sweet!

Halloween Fun

Halloween night...Ian dressed up as a scarecrow and being held by his cousin, Kylie, as Dorothy.

Daddy and Ian out trick-or-treating.

My carved pumpkin...not really that impressive.
