Happy Halloween

Halloween Night 

This year was Redd's first time Trick or Treating and he was so excited.

Judd took him to about 10 houses in the neighborhood and by the 8th he was ready to come home!

Redd's Preschool Trunk-r-Treat

 They sang some of their Halloween songs for the parents after they got all their candy,

Party at Granny Deb's

I didn't get a picture at Grandma Bonnie's Party

Redd's Birthday

Redd wanted a Chipmunk party for his birthday this year.  Grandma Bonnie had bought him a Simon doll and she had the movie so he was obsessed.  Of course there was nothing out there for a chipmunk party so this is what we came up with..

We had a count down to the party on the chalkboard and Redd couldn't wait to write in the how many days till his birthday (if you look in the background at Mauri's Blessing you'll see the countdown)

 Here he is before the party.. I made him a shirt with a big yellow "R"  & he wanted his hair in a spike so he could look more like Alvin. (Redd gave each kid who came one of these guitars as a thank you)

 The cupcakes!

The weather was awful the day of the party,so we all squished into the house.  But it still worked.. minus Uncle Clint's complaints!

I had the kids play a game for each chipmunk. Here is Redd playing "Pin the 'A' on Alvin".

The bigger kids playing "Simon Says"

 And we used these pails and orange ping pong balls  to "Feed Theodore the Cheeseballs"

The prizes!

 Redd getting ready to blow out his 3 candles! (You can't really see, but he made sure to pick an Alvin cupcake with red frosting)

 He he is chillin after the party! 

What a spoiled little boy!

Mauri's Blessing

Mauri was blessed on May 15th.  We were fortunate enough to have lots of family there to support us and show their love for our little angel.  The blessing was very special and we were able to celebrate with a lunch at our house after. 

Our family!

Mother's Day

At church, the nursery leaders had the kids make a World's Best Mom award. During Relief Society, one of the ladies came and got me because Redd was having a meltdown because there was no blonde crayon. (apparently they had tried every possible color and he insisted none of them were blonde) I go in there and all the kids are playing and there is Redd sitting at the table with a sad little face.  Needless to say, my picture has two faces, one with yellow hair (which apparently isn't blonde) and the other is bald!

Easter Extravaganza

Easter Playdate

Grady, Cooper, Redd, Tripp, Quinn, Stone, Belle, Blakeley

Love this super excited face!

The kids with all their prizes!

Cookies and Eggs

Redd got a little carried away with the spinkles

Granny Deb took the girls to get glitter toes & the boys all got matching presents

A football, hat and t-shirt.  Looks like Redd is now a Broncos fan!

PC Easter Egg Hunt

Redd's age qualified him to be in the smallest group, but he really wanted to be with his cousins.

You could tell he was the youngest kid on the field because he was the only one screaming with excitement over finding a treat!

Redd, Brad, Jax, Griffin, Jadon, Cooper

Peterson Egg Hunt

Since Mauri was included in the hunt, Redd did all the work while Mauri lounged in the house looking beautiful

Easter Morning

Costley Egg Hunt

Holden & Costley Grandkids

Redd is really into his Utah jersey and the number on it is 3, so he was thrilled when 3 was the number he got to look for to find his treats. (wonder how that happened?)

There was a bonus prize in one of the eggs, so Judd helped Redd search his loot to see if he was a winner!

As usual, we had a fabulous holiday & are so glad we get to spend time with the people we love!

Four Wheeling

Redd has the cutest neighbor friend Connor. They love to play outside whenever they have the chance.

Redd is so lucky to have such a fun friend that lives right next door!
