Jayden's First Halloween

Jayden had a great first Halloween...

Gramma Goose bought him a crazy crawling ball!

He loved the ball but was also excited about the envelope!

He is doing so well crawling!

He's not very fast, but he gets to where he wants to go...

He loves to crawl after this ball.

Mommy loves her baby boy!

Thank you for the Halloween present Gramma!
(and Grandpa too!)

GO VIKINGS!

Our future Viking...

When I got pregnant Jamie always said he wanted a son so he could be the Viking's quarterback. Now we laugh because we think he's more of an offensive lineman!
A few weeks ago the Vikings played my dad's favorite team...

The Saints.

We all had a Monday Night Football party over at my dad's.

These two were SO funny rooting against each other!

Of course...the VIKINGS won!

Becky was a happy girl!

Currently...the Vikings are in 1st place! Yay!

Cold Weather...

Auntie Jenn Jenn sent Jayden this warm outfit. She bought it for him for Christmas, but realized if she didn't give it to him now, he would outgrow it! She was right...it fits perfect!

It keeps him nice and warm...thanks Auntie Jenn Jenn!

We took a vacation with the Louviers this weekend.

The weather was SO nice!

This is a view from our balcony...

BBQ

Last weekend we had a BBQ at my parent's house for the Aussies.

Josh, Kristin, and Bayley came too!

The year before Doug and Sandra were my host family,

they were Josh's...small world!

We celebrated Kristin and Mum's birthday!

We also had homemade ice cream...

everyone loved it!

Jayden was happy his buddy was there...Bayley was happy too!

The boys do so well interacting with each other now...

I am very thankful for Kristin.
We have so much fun together and share so many stories about our little boys...
