My Little Boy and Me

I don't have too many posts of Glenn and I together...so this one is just a few pictures of us

Random Cuteness

Not sure how to start this blog.

I guess I think I have a cute kid and I'd like to share some pictures of him with you.

So here they are!

 

Food Fun

Why not have a blog post about food?  We eat every day and usually fun results from it.  
Enjoy our fun food moments!

We had had some hot chocolate, and this was the result:

The Mustache

October Stragglers

So this is the last post for October.  Just a few random pictures, but ones that I liked.

 Sometimes our basement was really cold...

so we made sure Glenn was comfortable while watching a show. : D

Halloween part 3

Alright, now it's trick-or-treating time!  Glenn got to wear his Tigger costume yet again--I did like that he got multiple uses out of it.  (We found it and cousin Devin's from KSL.com--yay for good deals!)

Halloween was on a Monday last year and Paul's work had a little trick-or-treat at the office.  Paul and Kyle worked together at the time, so we went with Emmeline and Lorenzo to their office.  The boys had fun going around from desk to desk choosing candy from the other employees.

We then headed home and went trick-or-treating with some new people in our neighborhood and ward, the Hsiao's.  I am kind of bummed that I didn't get a picture of Glenn actually trick-or-treating or our friends in their costumes.  But I did get a picture after he went and before we headed to Uncle Devin's house for another Halloween party.  

 

Halloween part 2

I thought it was so interesting that Halloween was a busy time of year for us.  Isn't it usually just trick or treating and that's it.  But we had several things at that time and it seemed like it was part of the end-of-the-year holidays.  I guess I haven't lumped Halloween in with Thanksgiving and Christmas before, but it was kind of like that.

Anyway, after the ward Halloween party, Paul, Glenn and I attended a party at our good friends'-the Jardines.  In this first picture, Glenn has discarded his Tigger costume--he was pretty warm in it--and Paul was wearing his.  I know it doesn't look like he is, but he is.  He dressed up like our friend Kyle--whose house we were at!  Kyle always wears a t-shirt, jean shorts, white socks and athletic shoes, and a hat.  We thought it was kind of funny--and something that we put together last minute. : D

October 2011--Halloween part 1

(Alright, so I am finally going to do this...the whole updating thing.  I have finally gone through every single one of my pictures, saved them on my computer and a copy on the back-up hard drive.  And now I am set.)

Let's start where I left off...we had just celebrated my niece's first birthday and the next thing were Halloween festivities.

Ward Halloween Party

My mom's ward had a fun Halloween party so we headed up north to attend.  My siblings with kids also were there, so the grandkids could see each other in their costumes and have fun together.

 Jasper. Devin. Glenn

Dinosaur. Big Bad Wolf. Tigger

After 6 months...

Alright, I'm back!  It's been about 6 months since my last post and A LOT has happened in that time.  I'll try not to overwhelm, but I want to get caught up.  

First of all, I want to thank my brother Ethan for being amazing with computers and technology.  Our memory card with lots of pictures went wacky--one reason why I stopped blogging--and he was able to recover the pictures and videos.  I am so grateful that he was able to do that.  

Second, the last few months of the year are busy for anyone...and it was especially so for us.  After Thanksgiving and Christmas, there was Paul's birthday and then a few days later he left for Virginia.  I became a 'single mom' and had to do so many things, not only the day to day stuff, but getting ready to move to Virginia as well.  

So again, sorry to those of you who do view the blog about the 6-month break, but I am back and ready to update!  

Plus I want to get caught up so I can put new pictures of are new adventures here in VA!  

Happy Blogging! : D

Mackenzie's Birthday Party

My niece Mackenzie just turned 1 on Sunday!

The Saturday before we had a party to celebrate.  It was a beautiful day to have a party outside.

 

More Glenn

I know I just did a post about Glenn...

well here's another one!

Do you ever...

Do you ever feel like you need something more comfortable to sit on...especially when you use the bathroom?

Haha!  I went into the bathroom the other day and this is what I saw!

Glenn is such a goof ball!

FHE Activity

The other night we had FHE in our bedroom.  We did that because for our activity we were going to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  And since we watched it on our laptop, we wanted to be comfortable.  

I was hoping Glenn would fall asleep during the movie, but he didn't.

Instead after the movie, he got a lot of energy.  I took some pictures of the boys playing around on the bed.  

 

 (Sorry for the weird quality of these ones.  I was experimenting with the settings on the camera.  They look like they were taken on a phone..but I thought they were really sweet, so I'm posting them anyway.)

Fear Factor

The youth in my ward participated in a combined Fear Factor night.

In room number 1...

Bye to Geri

The next day was Geri's last day with us.  The time went by way too quickly!  We wish she could live here--and we keep trying to convince her to do so!

But we were glad she could come visit for at least a short time. 

To send her off, we had a BBQ up in the mountains.  Our extended family came as well and that was really nice.  Not only did Geri get really close to me and my siblings, but she got to be really good friends with our cousins as well.  We really are her American Family.

Cornbelly's

The next night we went to dinner at Rodizio's Grill.

Paul's brother Arik and his friends were also in town; they got tickets to General Conference.

So we had a big group of us go to dinner.

Fall Colors

Maren and Geri spent the night after Jump on It.  The next day we went down to Provo to visit Grandma and Grandpa Thibault.  We also visited Sirie while she was at work.

She obviously got the message about it being plaid day!

( Maren first came upstairs wearing a plaid shirt.  Then Geri came up after her shower wearing a plaid shirt.  So I obviously had to wear one too!  Glenn didn't have a plaid shirt, so I put plaid shorts on him.)

 

Jump on It

One day while Geri was here, we had the girls over at our house.  It is a tradition of ours to watch either Pride and Prejudice--the long version, or Anne of Green Gables.  

This time we watched P & P at my house.  We let the kids play, we grabbed some food and gathered around the computer to watch.  (We don't own a TV...)

We love this movie.  Geri loves this movie.  I love that we watch it with her whenever she comes.

That evening Paul made homemade pizza.

 

Happy Birthday Dad!

My Dad's birthday was in September and we had a small get together to celebrate.

Our Swiss Sis

When I was a sophomore in high school my family hosted a foreign exchange student from Switzerland.  She stayed with us for a year and just fit in our family so well!  We love her as if she is our sister!

She had the opportunity to come visit us this year.  We had a great time with her!  She was only here for just over a week and it wasn't long enough!  We love you Geri!
