17 Months Old

Weighs approx 22.5 lbs. * Is figuring out where his eyes and nose are but often times points to his nose and puts his finger inside it. Hopefully I don't have a nose picker on our hands. * Watches Yo Gabba Gabba which I think is dumb. * Has a fake laugh and fake cry, but I think both are still cute. * Loves to give kisses after he watches Devin and I kiss. * Chases us around the house. * Tries on our shoes and tries to walk around in them. * Had his first Sunday in nursery without us. I, of course, had to peak through the window to see how he was doing in between classes. * Likes to stack or line things up in a row. For instance in nursery, he'd rather line up his crayons on the table instead of coloring. * Cut one of his bottom molars. Teeth count = 11. *

Trunk or Treat

 

Emma and Caiden

Megan and Tage

Jake, Alisa, and Zowie

Our ward had their annual Trunk of Treat activity last night. It wasn't as good as past years and even ended within an hour and a half of starting. Zander got to trick or treat a little bit and he is addicted to candy. We enjoyed seeing everyones costumes and chatting with friends. I was a bit shocked that people couldn't figure out our costume though. We were MaryAnne, the Skipper, and Gilligan from Gilligan's Island. I guess I need to start picking costumes from current pop culture.

Ward Camp Out

Clayton & Indy

Xandri, Tristen, & Ashlen

We had our ward camp out at Roosevelt Lake and I was able to convince Kylie and Stevan to go with us. It was the first time they had been camping since moving to Arizona 4 years ago. The ward part was a bit of a bust as only 6 families went - 2 which were us. We still had a lot of fun though! We stayed up late chatting by the fire and eating smores. In the morning, the guys made breakfast as the kids ran around and played games together. We really enjoyed the time together and have decided to plan a family camp out every couple of months.

 

We went to cousin Jayden's Super Hero 4th Birthday Party yesterday. Zander went as Batman and enjoyed eating lollipops with his partner in crime Tage.

This is what happens when we leave the room and the computers on. He is 100% his father's son.

Superstition Farm

Saying cheese and posing for the picture.

 We ditched cleaning and laundry and went to Superstition Farm today. It was a perfect family day activity!

We took a tractor ride, enjoyed petting and feeding the animals, tasted fresh milk, and enjoyed delicious ice cream made on the farm.
