San Diego!!

We just got back from great vacation to San Diego.  We went with our good friends from Denver the Trails. It was so great just to be with them. We sure miss all our great friends!!
Jeff and Dustin were responsible for getting this trip planned, and I'm so glad they did.  The weather was amazing, such a good break from our horrible Idaho winter.
Here's just a few highlights. . . .

Waiting for Shamu

Couldn't leave Sea World without some tea cups

Got their surf on

So much fun playing in the sand

Max loved feeding this seagull.  He was laughing so hard!  It was great!

Always an adventure with the Trails!
At Balboa Park

Such a fun little train.
Also Balboa Park

We sure love these guys!!  Can't wait to see them again soon!

Cousins. . .

Aren't cousins just the best!  Max had such a great time with all his cousins, they are so great to him!  We love them!

Christmas

Christmas was awesome this year.  We got to spend an entire week with my family.  Unfortunately Jeff had to go back during the week, but he was such a good sport he let me and Max stay and came back to get us.  We celebrated Christmas Eve with all of my family (except the Whites') and both Grandma and Grandpa Smith and Grandma Phyllis.  I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family, and so lucky to have them so close!  We had a delicous dinner, a nativity scene and some wonderful Christmas stories. . . and of course Christmas pj's.  It was such a great night!

And then the elves got to work. . .

 Christmas morning was great.  Max loved all his gifts, especially his car track. . . just like his dad knew he would!

SNOW DAY!

We had our first taste of snow at Grandma and Grandpa Beesley's house when we visited for Christmas.  Jeff was so excited for Max to go sledding.  . . all in preps form someday snowboarding.  Jeff is really starting with the brainwashing young!

I think it was a success!  They loved every minute of it!

What we've been up to. . .

 

 

We have visited some grandparents. . . .

 

Some of us have matching sweatshirts!


We were in the Caldwell Light Parade. . . .

 

 

We have been playing a lot of trains. . .

 

 

 

We mostly have been desperately trying to get a Christmas picture of Max.. . .Not as easy as it seems!!!

 

 

 

 

But this one will have to do!

 

 

 

 

Halloween!

I love Halloween!  But I think Jeff loves it more, this year he will have dressed up 3 times all in 3 different costumes.  He's pretty serious about it!  We started our festivities with a party at a friends house.  The theme for the party was Famous Couples, so we dressed up as Ron Burgandy and Veronica Corningstone from the movie Anchorman.  Jeff was loving having all that hair(he wore it for pretty much 2 days straight!)

The next day was our ward's Trunk or Treat.  They had hot dogs for lunch and then the kids went crazy over the candy.  Max was so cute!!!  I took a ridiculous amount of pictures!

Blowing you a KISS!

Jeff costume for the Trunk or Treat:  A happy 1984 BYU Fan!

 

 



 

This is actually Halloween night, Max was a shark, Jeff was Cookie Monster.
Look at that sticky face, he was in heaven!

Pumpkin Patch

We decided to do a little office outing this month.  We went to The Farmstead Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze.  It was such a cute, fun place!  Max loved it!  It really was a lot of fun, I think we'll make it a tradition!

Max loved this fun trampoline!

Isn't this the cutest thing?  They had a 4wheeler pulling these cows around!
