Family Pictures

So we got new family pictures. It was a lot of fun, but also a lot of work. Japheth just kept wanting to run around the studio. Things are well, Japheth has discovered that some food sticks to his fingers, and he can pick it up without having to grab it. He thinks it's a lot of fun. He loves to play Giutar Hero World Tour with his Dada. And every time we go get the mail he HAS to ride his tonka truck.

We got the tree up, and Japheth thinks its fun too, after we got the lights on he kept saying "pretty!" over and over. Though he also thinks the ornaments are new toys to play with. Most are higher, so it's not too bad, but we went over to see his Grampa Rasmussen the other day and he wouldn't stop taking the ornaments off.

Halloween

So I know it's a little late, but I just wanted you guys to see our Halloween cotumes. We had a lot of fun, and I think they looked great! Thanks, mom, for helping me make mine and Japheth's.



Just kidding. Here we really are, but I think we did a pretty good job of looking like the picture above. Japheth had some blue shorts, but it was a little cold for them, still it was very nice weather. Just try to imagine a red block right above Douglas' hand in the first picture. Japheth had a lot of fun trick-or-treating. At first he didn't know what was going on, but after the first house gave him something, he was a little more excited. Then the second house gave him something and he thought this was the best thing ever! They could have been giving rocks and he still would have loved it. He also got excited when he saw other kids dressed up. We were really excited that he wore his hat, he wasn't liking it so much when we tried to put it on for our party. Happy Halloween!

Announcement

For everyone who saw Janna's blog, no we're not coppying her, there are no candy bars involved. This is just an announcement to let our friends and extended family know that we're going to have another baby. We're somewhere around 6 weeks, so that puts the baby due around May. That means that Japheth will be about 2 years 2-3 months older than the baby. We'll update you more along the way.

Trip to Snowbird

So Janna was a bit faster than me at getting pictures of Snowbird up, but here ya go. It was a lot of fun. Douglas had a lot of fun with the kids in the pool while I took pictures, then the pool had fun in his eyes the rest of the night. So he slept while Janna, Josh and I went swimming and hot tubbing later that evening. Japheth had a great time, everytime he got into the hallway he started yelling. He loved exploring a new place. And like always, he's still a bit afraid of the water. He clings to you whenever you go in, even if he can stand in it he'd rather be held. At the park Japheth had fun, but the most interesting thing to him was Montana's scooter. Go figure!

Montana was great at the pool. Janna would tell her to jump with a twist and she'd do it, then Janna would say do a toe touch, and she would. She even did a bunch of cannon balls, but when it came to going in head first, well that's a different matter. So I got the pictures of Janna pushing Montana in. Oh yah, when we got back we had a new roof! It was exciting to come home to, and to have it done. Especially since it rained a lot right after. They did a good job and did it really fast!
