Turkey Day '08

Turkey Day this year was a blast. We went to Pete's Aunt Janet's house. More of his family (uncles/cousins) were there as well. It was great to see everyone and to spend time with them. The boys made themselves right at home with everyone. The food was yummy, of course. However, I was the highlight of the night-dropping my whole plate of food just right after I dished it up on Aunt Janet's white carpet!!! All I could do was look down at my mess with my mouth gaping wide open. Luckily, the dogs there did a wonderful job cleaning up for me. Clifford and Kristjan sat at one of the tables with daddy and Aunt Janet. The boys had tons of fun with Aunt Janet, with her making them laugh and joking around. Pete said that Clifford wasn't eating, so Clifford decided he wanted Aunt Janet to feed him, which she did a bit. And Kristjan was a flirt with Franny and Tara. He also joked around with Michael and Uncle Tom. It was all around a great thanksgiving and look forward to spending more holidays there with the family.

Meadowdale Park

Yesterday we took a mini family trip to the beach. We hiked in to the beach (about a mile long). The boys were troupers. We saw some fish trying to swim upstream while on the trail. Daddy and Clifford thought it would be funny to scare mommy and Kristjan by hiding behind a tree and jump out at us. Once we got to the beach, it was beautiful. We looked for shells, had some lunch, and hung out. It was very refreshing.

Clifford's Projects From Preschool

Clifford has been enjoying going to preschool. He has lots of fun playing with all his new friends and making awesome projects to bring home. Here are some pics of his cool projects

Halloween 2008

We had so much fun this Halloween. The boys helped us carve 4 pumpkins. We also baked and decorated some fun pumpkin sugar cookies.  The day before Halloween, our ward had their Trunk-or-Treat. The boys looked awesome in their Halloween costumes. Clifford was a vampire-with all the fixings, including fake blood. Kristjan was a devil. At first, Pete just sprayed him down with hair color-hair and face. But that kept wiping off. So we made a stop on our way to the church to pick up some face paint. So Pete gave Kristjan a new "devil make over", which looked awesome. The guys at the church were coming up to us asking if he was a devil or baby HellBoy. Our boys were the spookiest kids dressed up there. And we had lots of fun going around for Trunk-or-Treat. The boys are getting older now to realize what Halloween is about. After a few cars, they're like "wow, we get candy for doing this?!"
