Halloween 2012

This year on the Saturday before Halloween we had our annual party with some of our friends.  We had a lot of fun just like always.  As our kids get older it is fun to see them interact and play together.   

This year Boston was a monster for Halloween.  He was the cutest monster that I have ever seen!

 In the middle of our party we looked outside and saw that Max our dog was on the porch with a little kitten.  We took Boston outside to play with it.

                               We had to take picture of everyone's costumes.

The Ashcrofts were farmers with their pumpkin

The Stockings were the Hungry Hungry Caterpillar

The Buttars were Gangnam Style

The Lukes were each other

The Dutsons were tourists

and we were monsters

                           We had to end the night with some Just Dance Wii.

That Sunday we carved pumpkins with my parents.  Boston wanted to be right in the middle of it all. 

On Halloween night went to Lee's Marketplace and to our Families Trick-or-Treating.  He loved getting all the treats, especially suckers.

Family Pictures

On Sunday we went up Burch Canyon in Smithfield and had my mom take some family pictures of us.  They turned out pretty good considering we had a one year old who didn't want his picture taken and a dog who wouldn't hold still.

ONE YEAR!

 I can't believe my little boy is one already! He as been walking for a few weeks now and he is so cute when he stands up.  When I took him for his 12 month well check he weighed 21 lbs (38%) and he was 31 inches tall (80%).  Boston loves car, truck, 4 wheelers etc. anything that he can drive.  He doesn't have a bottle any more just a sippy cup with milk and he loves it. 

 For his birthday I made a timeline of the pictures I took every month in his yellow chair.  It is so much fun to be able to see how he has changed.

 For his birthday party we had our family over to celebrate.  We had sub sandwiches and mickey cake and cupcakes.  Boston loves mickey mouse so I thought I would attempt make a mickey mouse cake. 

 Boston loves his cake! It was so much fun watching him destroy it.  When he discovered it was something he could eat he started clapping his hands and licking his fingers.  He had cake everywhere!

 Next we opened presents.  Boston loved to rip the paper but once he got it open then he wanted to play with the gift.  He was really spoiled by his family! We are really lucky to have so many people who love us.

 This is his 4-wheeler from Nana and Papa Houlsey.  He loved riding it! He hasn't quite figured out how to push the button yet and make it go but he loves when other people push it for him.

 On Monday night we had a party at the Ashcrofts for Boston and Ainzli.  They were born on the exact same day.  We had dinner and desert and had a great time hanging out with our friends.  Boston and Ainzli had fun playing together.  They had just cleaned out a drawer and wanted to "cook."

  Boston loves being one of the guys!
