My sis and Gracyn. I'm so glad they were able to be here as well as my mom.

Our hick family
This was the only present Easton helped open. He was more into running around than opening up his gifts. But he did sure like them all the next day.

Thank you everybody for your thoughtful, fun gifts for Easton!!!

We went to the Carrie Underwood concert!

Sam called me at 3:30 on his way home from work yesterday saying that his pharmacy preceptor offered him his Carrie Underwood tickets at Jobing.com and Sam asked if I wanted to go....well duh! We luckily and quickly got a babysitter (thanks Taggarts) and off to the concert we went. I have always liked Carrie Underwood but I didn't know her concert would be so great. She was fun, she interacted with the crowd, her voice was of course amazing and the opening act Little Big Town was great too. We had such a good time. We were going to go to dinner prior to the show but ran out of time and thank heavens for that. Our tickets were in a suite with food galore! Steaks, chicken, sandwiches, salads, potatoes, cheese and crackers, treats, and hot desserts. Wow, we were not expecting that! And our seats were amazing and cushioned. Needless to say we had a blast and felt very lucky for the last minute opportunity.

Easton the Grand Canyon Park Ranger

Sara Redd told me you can go to Picture People and print off a free coupon to get pictures taken and get 4 of these cute cards. They turned out pretty good for free!

Halloween Monster Mash

Ok, so Sam looks stoned but this is our couples costume that we made at the last minute. We were going to be overzealous hikers to go with E's costume but when I told me sister she said I needed to do a funny costume and gave me this idea. Thanks Sis! I googled it so I would have an idea of how to craft this thing and we came up with some things to make it work. It was really fun!
Andy and Jon threw a fabulous Halloween Bash complete with lot's of "getting to know you games" :). We also were given a set of stickers and tried to put them conspicously on people without them knowing. If they noticed they got to sticker you. They were bandits and Cameron was a really cute sock monkey.
Where's Waldo and Hula Dancer. Joe loved his cane and loved how handy it was for all sorts of necessary tasks.
White trash and sexy Vampire. What a pair.

Parental supervision is advised...

Kade was a very happy camper to be able to "act" like a white trash trucker ALL night. It became obvious by the end of the night why he chose this costume as he indeed stayed in character.
Where's Waldo and ... some author Jon really appreciates. Jon went all out and shaved the top of his head, yep just the top, because the author is balding.
Our goody table complete with the vile of blood and black flowers.
Andy made this yummy ice cream cake that we ate up at 1:00 am and made ourselves even sicker than we already were because that's what you do on Halloween.

Group shot. Pretty impressive costumes by all.
Aren't YOU scared...

Andy and Jon went all out on the decorations. The house and backyard were decked out with awesome Halloween decor.
The goblin eyes I made for a "freaky" treat.

Ward Halloween Party

The ward put on a fun party and included this fun backdrop for family photos. We had fun seeing all the kids in their costumes.

Visiting the Grand Cayon

My parents came to town and we drove to see the Grand Canyon. It was pretty cool and we had a great time together. My dad was in heaven and kept talking about when he hiked the whole canyon-21 miles or something up and down and how he worked on the North Rim. We found this outfit for Easton and couldn't resist. We thought it was the perfect Halloween costume as well. He was going to be a Mexican and we found the perfect poncho but we decided he could do that next year. Ranger E

We are way, way, way to close to the edge I think after looking at this photo.

We walked along the rim and saw the coolest tree with a perfect nook for Easton to sit on.
His Halloween costume with everything but the ranger hat.


Grandma was really nervous at the rim and didn't like Easton to be near it. She walked with him off the trail instead.

Ok, I don't know how this picture transpired into this. It started with a normal pose and somehow I captured this.
Oppsie
Grandpa loves this little guy and is so cute with him. Easton reaches for him and my mom for them to hold him while they are here.

Easton making his rounds as ranger to make sure everyone is safe.

He's admiring the view from the rim

Sam pretending to fall, which after reading the book my dad bought about all the deaths at the grand canyon this is not too far fetched. People do stupid things for a funny or "amazing" picture and they fall of the edge. Sam actually jumped over the ledge you're looking at for a "funny" picture cause there is a ledge on the other side. I was soooo mad at him. After reading the book I was even madder and so glad he did not fall 500 ft + with a slip or a crumble of the rocks.

Deer Valley Airport

Easton liked the planes but he was just as interested in the rocks on the ground at this point.
Tienna was so sweet wanting to hug Easton. Their a pretty cute pair I'd say.
Thanks Abbie, we had fun!
Yeah! E got a new front facing carseat!!! We are both happy campers.
