Halloween 2012

      Halloween was so much fun this year.  It was the first year Bryce was able to dress up because last year we were living in Spain and they don't celebrate Halloween there.  This year he was Elmo.  Bryan and I decided on that costume only because EVERY MORNING the first thing that Bryce says is, "Elmo!" (There's a little YouTube video of Elmo that he loves, and he requests to watch it at least 30 times a day, no joke!)  Saturday before Halloween we had an activity at our church called Trunk-or-Treat and Bryce got to be Elmo and go up to all the trunks of the cars to get candy.  It was so cute to see him do this.  He didn't really understand the process but I was impressed that he kept his Elmo head on the whole time.  Halloween morning there was an activity in our downtown and tons and tons of kids came with their parents and went trick-or-treating at all the stores and businesses there.  We took Bryce and went to most of the stores, but his favorite thing was to pass out the candy at my parents flower shop.  Halloween night we just went around our little neighborhood to get candy.  Bryce had so much fun and loved ringing all the doorbells.  I just love our little Elmo!  The kid is such a character!

Pumpkin Patch & Petting Zoo....

     We took Bryce to the Pumpkin Patch yesterday and there was a cute little Petting Zoo there also.  He wasn't too thrilled about the animals.  He wanted nothing to do with them and just wanted to watch them.  He got close up to them a few times, but it would be for a split second and then he would run back to either Bryan or me.  It was fun to watch him with the animals though.  He also got to go on a horse, but that lasted for 10 seconds (he started crying his head off).  He was happy at the end of the little trip.  That's where he got to pick out any pumpkin he wanted.....and of course he picked the smallest one out of the whole entire Pumpkin Patch!

Some of the animals would come up right behind him and he would have no idea

Oceanside 2012

     Every Summer we go down to Oceanside to spend a few days with all of Bryan's family (Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins etc...)  We went down this last week and had a lot of fun with everyone.  Bryce got to go in the ocean this year for the very first time and it was so much fun to see how excited he got every time a wave came in.

First time touching the ocean

He couldn't stop smiling

Bryce's first haircut

     My Sister-in-law Lauren was so nice to give Bryce his first haircut the other day.  There was a lot of screaming and crying but Lauren did a great job through all the curve balls that Bryce was throwing at her.  Thanks again Lauren! :)

He has no idea what is about to happen to him

Here we go.....

His hair was so long and curly

Wanting this to be done

All done

 

 

 

Makenzie & Jordan's Wedding

      My Sister-in-law Makenzie and my new Brother-in-law Jordan got married on June 9, 2012 in the Newport Temple and it was such a beautiful day!  Everything (I think) went perfect and everything looked so beautiful, especially the bride :) I didn't get that many pictures, but here are a few.  I apologize for the crying baby in most of the pictures....who's kid is that?
