The first of many school days to come

Mason start preschool two weeks ago! We have been waiting and waiting and finally the day arrived. He started later because his teacher (a lady in our ward) had a baby in August and postponed her preschool's starting date until October. Mason sure was excited when the day finally came! He had a brand new backpack and some new supplies to put in it. Carter looks excited in this picture, and he was...but he didn't really understand that his buddy would be leaving him. The whole time that Mason is gone, Carter is constantly saying "Mason?" wishing that he is still there to play with.









The day of his first class, it was a little chilly, so we had to make sure Mason was bundled up nice and warm to walk the 1/2 block to his teacher's house.


Here he is waiting for class to start. Mason loves school and everytime I come to pick him up he tells me that he isn't ready to go yet. His school is only twice a week for two hours a day, which I thought would be good to start since he's only three. Hopefully his love for school will continue when he's older...

Why I am Blessed....

Just a week late!

Our Halloween was fun! Too bad our camera batteries died twice so even the extra batteries I brought didn't allow us to get a picture of both of the boys together in their costumes looking at the camera....so this picture will have to do. This is right before Mason's preschool Halloween party, so that is why Carter isn't dressed up. They are saying "heeyaah!". Mason's preschool is just down the street and in the stroller on the way over, they were both kicking their feet and pretending to be ninjas.








We went to our ward's trunk or treat. There were lots of kids there and it was kind of crazy. I stayed in our trunk and passed out candy and David took our Ninja Turtle and Tiger around to get treats. Here is a picture I snapped of them when they were across from me...








Carter has definitely inherited his mother's sweet tooth, so this holiday was heaven for him. He was pretty tired at this point, but very content to sit in the back of the car and enjoy the fruits of his labors...



















Our boys trunk or treating...










Is it just me or does my belly look really big in this picture? Yikes.


I don't think that trunk or treating is really representative of true trick or treating...so later we took the boys to do it the traditional way. We also stopped by Roger and Christy's house to say hello. Later on, I took Mason and Carter to show Aunt Katie their Halloween costumes. It was fun because her roommates were throwing her a b-day party and we got to be there to watch her blow out the candles. I was really bummed that our camera was dead!
