Alex feeding Moosie goldfish

Wes and I love watching the boys with Autzen. Even though Autzen aka Moose is almost 100 lb and many people are afraid of him Alex doesn't seem to notice how big he is. Yesterday I caught Alex feeding Moose an entire bag of goldfish.

Moosie keeping a close eye on Alex's cookies.

Moosie sit! And here is another goldfish for you

I guess Alex got tired of standing. He is still feeding him.

I think they are almost done

Moosie ready for the holiday season! Wes cracked up when he came home because Autzen was still wearing the reindeer ears

Making Holiday Cookies

I thought it would be fun to make cookies with Alex. So I bought dough for sugar cookies, cookies cutters, icing and sprinkles.

getting ready

daddy rolling out the dough with Alex. As you can see there is a lot of flour on the cutting board. Alex kept asking for more

putting the cookies on the tray. They weren't perfect but they were looking pretty good

We have no idea what happened!!! We put the cookies in the oven and this is what they looked like when they came out. It was one giant cookie! And we couldn't recognize any of the original shapes

Evan hanging out with Daddy while Mommy and alex were decorating the cookies

adding some icing and sprinkles

.....and more sprinkles

the finished product! Hopefully they will look better next time. Although Alex didn't seem to care. He kept saying "yummy" and wanting more

Alex Plays the Guitar

One thing we know about Alex is that he loves music!! Alex really likes when Wes plays the guitar for him. The other day we heard Alex playing the guitar when no one was in the room with him. I think he might join a band soon!!

Alex's New Room

Alex has a big boy room!! We finally ordered his furniture last month and we had it delivered today. The room looks great!! And Alex seems to love it too. He keeps saying "my new room" and when he saw his furniture he said "my new bed." Hopefully he will like sleeping in there to but for now he is still in his crib.

getting ready to help daddy paint

ok.... I'm ready

show me how to paint ...daddy

I was so busy taking pictures that I didn't realize he was painting the window screen....oops!

the first look at his new room with Evan and Juliette

oh wow.... my new bed

how do I look sitting on my big bed?

how do I look standing on my bed?

when Alex took his nap Juliette and I put the bedding on his bed. He was surprised when he woke up and looked in his room

We moved his step stool over to the bed so he can get up and down himself

playing on his new bed with the pirate ship bedding

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Happy Halloween!! This year I found Alex a cowboy costume and Evan was going to dress up as a pumpkin but at the last minute Wes found him a new costume. So he was a banana!! We had a great night. Oregon was playing USC so we went trick or treating at half time. We went to a few houses in the neighborhood. We had so much fun watching Alex!!

which way to the next house??

I love this picture of daddy and Alex

Knock Knock.....who's there?

After we went to a few houses we decided to go home. Abby told Tri to go into the house and say trick or treat when Alex came up to the door and act like he was still trick or treating. Tri opened the door and Alex said "hi Tri" and walked in the house. We can't fool him

Evan fell asleep as we were walking out to go trick or treating. Hopefully he enjoyed his walk around the neighborhood

Superwoman and Cowboy Alex

mommy and her cowboy

I found Alex moving all of the candy from the bowl we were supposed to hand out to his basket

Abby and Tri had a halloween party to go to later that night but they came over to our house first. The funny thing was Tri was on call and had his phone and pager on the superman belt. Thank goodness he didn't get called into the hospital!!

A few kisses for baby Evan

Having Fun!!

Here are a few random pictures from the last few weeks.

What do you think of my new shades??

Alex loves apples!! When we go on walks I will give him an apple and he will eat it for an hour so we can finish the walk. Good thing daddy introduced him to this.

I think Alex and Moosie are getting into trouble

water paints!!

October 25 was our 6 year anniversary. The last 6 years have been amazing!! For our anniversary we met Abby and Tri for dinner at Yard House (Alex's favorite restaurant). I took this picture because Alex had eaten spinach dip, fries, a hot dog and he was still hungry so he started to eat the bun. We don't see him eat this much was I wanted to capture it on film.

Evan and his purple shirt (Abby's favorite)

Coloring with the new coloring books and markers that Grandpa and Grandma Tyree sent Alex. Thank you so much for the great halloween present. Alex loves it (and the books too!)

Our Baby Evan

Evan is now 4 months old. He is so happy and smiles all the time. So I decided to take him to get some pictures taken. Last time we went he slept through the session. This time he took a little nap before it was his turn to take pictures and when he woke him he was all smiles! It is amazing to look at him now and see how he has grown. He has certainly changed since we bought our baby peanut home. We love you Evan!!
