Family Pictures

My friend Erin agreed to take some family pictures for us! We headed out to Floyd Lamb State Park and had a great time! I had a hard time picking out my favorites, but here are a few.

Ultrasound

I had my long ultrasound today and the tech took some 4D pictures of little James. Here's his little legs up against his face and holding onto the cord:Here he is stretching out his toes. Check out those toned arms!

Nice facial shot, he looks a lot like his big brother:

Weeks of Halloween...

Alec got to be a train conductor this Halloween (it just HAD to involve trains, right?). He loves pumpkins and anything to do with Halloween, so we really spread out the fun this year. 3 weeks before, he got to attend my parents' 8 year old Sunday School class party...which he also got uninvited from, for chasing one of the boys around.The next weekend was Uncle Christopher & Auntie Joleen's community Apple Fair. Alec got loads of cool toys and had a blast playing all the games.Catching butterflies with Uncle Christopher:Later that afternoon was Border's Halloween Party for kids, so I decided to take Alec. The games were designed for older kids, though, so he had a hard time trying to participate. He loved the stories, cookies and treat bags though!Finally, on Halloween weekend, we took him to the ward trunk-or-treat. Alec loved the cake walk with Uncle Christopher and games with his daddy, but his favorite part was definitely trunk-or-treating for candy.Posing with his buddy, Cannon:Finally, on Halloween night he got to carve a pumpkin with daddy and do some trick-or-treating.Whilst trick-or-treating with Auntie Kelsey he had 3 houses mention they'd worked at railways or as a conductor and those families gave him extra-way to work it!Despite all the candy he got, we've been limiting him to a piece a day and he seems happy with that. :) Actually, most of it got recycled as we were bombarded with trick-or-treaters this year!

Visit from Granny & Grandad

Paul's parents were able to come visit for a couple weeks and hang out with Alec:

Apart from the seasonal and day-to-day activities, we were able to make it to SLC for a weekend and St. George to see some church history sites.
