Last weekend, Chris and I packed the boys up and headed to Seattle Washington. Chris' parents were moving so Chris wanted to help. He spent most of the weekend using his muscles while I stayed with my good friend Mandy and her two little boys at her inlaws home. The weekend was too short but it was so nice to be back "home." I always have so much fun with Mandy and it's sad every single time it's time to go home. Landon had a good time with her almost two year old, Brady, and I could not get enough of her 4 month old, Connor. Connor made me want 10 more babies! He is the most well behaved, smilest baby I have ever seen. Landon even got him to do more than a few belly laughs. We didn't get to see everyone that we wanted to but there will be more road trips coming up.

Gardner Village

A couple of weeks ago, we visited Gardner Village in South Jordan. As a family, we look foward to going every year. This is our 4th year going-a new tradition! We love walking around and looking at all of the witches and Halloween decorations with the kids. It was especially fun to watch the two boys and how different they react to the life like witches. Landon didn't really want anything to do with them but Carter would get up close, sometimes touch them, and growl. It's a good way to get us in the Halloween spirit and it always does!

The Zoo!

Grandma Wagner and Uncle Travis took the boys to the zoo while Mom was at work. What a fun thing for them! I was a little bummed that I missed Carter's first time going to the zoo. Then again, I feel extremely blessed to know that they are in good hands while I am away trying to bring home the bacon. Looks like they had a really good time. I am so glad that Grandma tries to take as many pictures as she can!

Baking With Grandma

While Mom is at work, Landon and Carter get to spend a lot of time with Grandma Wagner. She is always taking them out to do fun things and teaching them along the way. One day, I came home to pick up the boys and the first thing I noticed was a pile of what looked like small rolled breadsticks on the island in the kitchen. Apparently, Landon made cookies with Grandma and while he did make star, pumpkin, and other shapes, he also made "snakes." They were yummy snakes too! I love the pictures of Landon in the apron. Such a good little helper!

Mine Head

Landon is quite the little crack up lately. He loves to make people laugh and does the silliest things! The other day he kept calling from the other room, "Moooom, there's something on mine head!" When I walked into the room, this is what I saw. So silly!

Allergy Tests

The boys were retested for their food allergies this last Thursday. Carter's test came back positive for an egg allergy and Landon's peanut allergy test came back negative. We were sent for further testing in the lab where Landon had his blood drawn which was not fun. His blood test came back with high results for the allergy so both boys are allergic to peanuts and eggs :( We will retest in 6 more months. Until then, we will just have to keep on avoiding those foods.

Big bummer!

Thing 2

Carter can walk! Well, with a little help from his push toy! He does a good job sitting on it too :) He all of a sudden just started walking with it over the last week or two. He used to only be able to "walk" on his knees or stand and fall once the toy started moving. We are so proud of him. Hopefully this means he will be walking on his own...and soon!

Carter's First Haircut

Before:

During:

After!

I can't believe how different Carter looks with his locks gone! It was a hard decision for me and just wanted a trim but went ahead with a whole haircut instead. He looks so much older and I feel like he just lost his babyhood. He enjoyed getting his hair cut and didn't cry even once. Such a brave, handsome little guy!

Landon needed a hair cut too! This is the first time he didn't fuss when he was getting it done. What made it different this time? Oh he had a video game to play!

Can you say stud?!

Costumes

My mom was getting rid of her randon Halloween costumes one day so Landon wanted to try them on. How funny is he?!

The Best Park

Fruit Heights by our home has the best park ever! My dad found this park while riding his motorcycle one night but couldn't remember how to get there. He called it the "pirate park" and I always wanted to try and find it. One night coming home from the grocery store, I went a different way and passed it! Now this is a regular place that we like to go to. Chris usually takes the kids 1-2 times a week while I am working. This day we both had the day off so we drove around and looked at the most beautiful homes near it. We definately wouldn't mind living there!

Don't know how this picture was taken but it's proof I was at the park too, I guess!
