Happy Belated Birthday Bryson!

Just a few days late... that's actually pretty good for me lately. I still have to catch up on the entire month of October and most of November, so a few days late isn't too bad, right sweetie? In honor of Bryson's birthday, I thought I'd post a few pictures of Bry from childhood to present. Enjoy the pics of the man I love! Thanks for being such an amazing husband and father, Bry! I love you! Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Halloween from the Slacker family!

I know, I know... I'm behind on my posts as always. It's halfway to Thanksgiving, and I'm just getting my Halloween pictures up. In my defense, I've been waiting to get the pictures from my sister in law and uncle, who got better pictures of Davis than I did... but I finally gave up. (I will add those later if I get them.) We had a very fun Halloween this year. Nothing too crazy or out of the ordinary, but Davis is getting old enough to really get into it. He helped me make some sugar cookies earlier in the week, and we did a lot of Halloween crafts and coloring projects leading up to the big day. Of course he loved carving pumpkins, and made it very difficult for mom and dad to make pretty designs with all of his "help." We talked about trick or treating all week so that he would know what to do when the day came, and he caught on very fast. Once he figured out that all he had to do was walk up to the door and say "trick or treat," and someone would give him candy, he was sold! He literally ran from house to house as fast as his little feet would carry him. Sometimes he got a litte sneaky and reached in for a handful or two of candy as someone was dropping a piece in his bag, but overall, he did really well.
After the Halloween festivities, we ended the night by going over to Bryson's aunt Kim's house to see all of her new baby kittens. I'm not a huge cat fan, but I have to admit that kittens are pretty darn cute.

September

I have gotten so far behind on this blog that I'm just going to have to catch up for an entire missed month in one big post... and I still won't be caught up, but at least it's a start.
September is one of my favorite months in Utah. The weather is that perfect combination of warm and cool, the fall colors start to show on the trees, and probably most importantly, BYU football season starts. I just think there is a fun energy in the air around this time of year. So, here are some of our september pictures. Not the best, but they'll have to do.

Davis has absolutely LOVED gardening with his grandpa. He would go down to check on all the vegetables, and come back in the house to tell me about all of the "big, HUGE" pumpkins, squash, etc. Here he is helping in the garden:



Playing with his aunt Summy, looking super cute in his BYU jersey. And and sub par attempt at a BYU family shot.



I have been babysitting my little nieces and nephew a few times a week for the last few months. Sometimes it's just Davis and Rose getting to play. They love to bounce on the trampoline. I took about a million pictures one day, so enjoy!









These are some of my favorites of the two of them... so funny and cute.






These pictures might not stay up here long... once Tarin sees these, she might make me get rid of them, but I had to do it. I never get to see Tarin, and this was the first time I got to meet the incredibly adorable and sweet little Cooper in person. So, despite Tarin's warnings about no pictures on the blog, it had to be documented. Love you favorite!




Had to get some pictures of Sadie and Chase in here too, since Davis loves them just as much as his little buddy Rose.





Just a few pictures of the trees. We went for a drive through the canyon one sunday afternoon. The pictures don't do it justice.



Well, that was our September in a nutshell. Sadly, most of those pictures were taken on the same day. Maybe I'll do better for October.
