Happy Halloween!!!!!
I'm the self proclaimed Halloween queen. I LOVE IT!!! I'm so excited for it this year, because when Halloween comes around it means we'll be home! YAY!!! Anyway, I thought i would start making Halloween crafts just for something to do here. I found these glow in the dark eyes on marthastewart.com. My friend Johanna, (who loves Halloween too) and I made them, it actually took all day. But I think they turned out great!
Poor little Stockton, had another ear infection. He slept on my shoulder for 3 hours! I felt so bad that he was sick, but I loved just holding him!
He is getting so BIG!!!!
Bryce was watching Stockton while I was getting ready for the day. When I came out of our room it was really quiet in our apartment. I asked Bryce where Stockton was and he's all, hmm.. I don't know. (typical dad, if there isn't any crying everything must be ok, right?) Everything was ok, I found Stockton asleep on the floor in his bedroom.
Stockton is finally starting to want to feed himself. And is doing a pretty good job!
Stockton has figured out where the animals go on his barn. Each animal has a different shape on the bottom. I know every parent thinks this, but Stockton is so SMART!!! :) Maybe he should be doing this at 14 months.....anyway, I love him no matter what.
Our office does an activity every Friday before the guys have to go to work. So this past week we went to the lake by our house. All of the guys had a race in canoes and then had a water balloon fight. Then Bryce and I took Stockton on a canoe ride out on the lake. I LOVE the water!!! It's so peaceful and just plain fun! We had a great time!!!
Oh, how I love this man!!!! Enough said. :)
Stockton has finally moved up in the world to a forward facing car seat! YAY!!!! Life is so much easier, and he is SO MUCH happier in the car! Thanks to my friend Jennifer Arthur for helping me do research for this car seat. We love it!!!
Stockton's first ride in his car seat with Nana and Papa on the way to the Royals baseball game. Yep, he's my son! His thumb is ALWAYS in his mouth now!!!
oops... out of order, oh well! Ray and Lisa Nelson came to visit us this past weekend! It was SO GOOD to see them!!!! We stayed up on Saturday until 2 am just talking and playing games. I was so sad when they had to go home on Monday. I couldn't ask for sweeter, more loving in-laws! I'm very lucky!!!! I love you, bonus mom and dad!!!
Ray and Stockton are best buds now! This picture captures how they were acting together all weekend. Stockton loved to wear Ray's hat and would just laugh the whole time he had it on. He loves his Papa!!!
Just a picture of us while at the Royals game. It was much better this time around. We sat in the shade and it was MUCH COOLER this time!!!!
We're still doing good! We found out today that extended season (Sept. 5 - Oct. 8) will be here in Kansas City. We're glad and sad at the same time. We were looking forward to experiencing a new city and taking on a new adventure. The other part of us is thrilled that we (I) don't have to pack up and move for 5 weeks and then pack up again and move home.

I'm so glad that we've taken on this adventure! I actually love Kansas! It's so pretty here with all of the trees. I do miss our family and friends, but it's been good to get out of our comfort zones a little and stretch and grow out here. At the same time, I'm looking forward to going home (although I have 11 more weeks to go). It will be nice to have time with Bryce and to see people we've been missing! Anyway, life is GOOD!!!!

Cute pictures! I'm glad I got the update. I'm sad that we are going to miss your Halloween party this year. It just won't be the same :(
That's great that you don't have to move again. You've got to experience a couple different states. Neato! I haven't ever even lived outside of Utah... yet. :)
Yay for Halloween! Thanks for letting me craft it up with you! So fun! I'm glad the second baseball game was better! That first was smoldering!
I always love it when you update your blog...Stockton is getting so big. Will he still fit in the pack and play by the time you are finished with your stay out there? Loved the Halloween eyes...you will have fun with those! Sure do miss you and can't wait to see you in a few weeks :) Love you tons!!!
We miss you guys like crazy! Looks like you are having quite an experience though. :)
