Halloween Night

I had no idea that a 15 month old would have so much fun on Halloween. MacKinlay and I took Greysen Trick-or-Treating to 6 houses then went home to pass out Canadian chocolates. Greysen loved dumping the candy over his head and then putting back in the bowl. When he would hear the doorbell ring he would jump, grab 2 fists full of candy and run to the door, then would close the door. He had so much fun and it was difficult to get him to go to bed. He didn't want to eat the candy but he sure loved playing with it.

Halloween Party

Greysen got to go to his first Halloween party this year at our neighbor's house. Greysen wore an Indian costume I made, I dressed as an Indian and MacKinlay was a cowboy. Greysen had lots of fun playing with the kids.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Congratulations to MacKinlay for his new promotion with his current employer. We are so proud of his hard work and dedication. Greysen and I are sad that MacKinlay will no longer be only 1.9 miles away from us but we are so proud of him. MacKinlay will be starting his new position on December 7th and will be commuting to downtown Salt Lake. The details of our one car situation have yet to be determined. WAY TO GO MAC!

HEE HAW Farms

We went to HEE HAW Farms just down the street and had a fun Saturday afternoon as a family.

Greysen throws the Ball!

Greysen is a boy. His favorite thing is balls. This can be anything that looks like a ball, such as oranges, apples or rocks. Here Greysen is with daddy throwing and catching the ball.

Greysen Swiffers While He Walks!

Greysen has finally started to walk more consistently. Just like many toddlers he loves the swiffer and loves to get it out of the pantry. I figured if he wants to play with it then I would put a cloth on it and let him pick up some dust. So here Greysen swiffers as he walks.

Greysen Eating Bratwurst!

Greysen likes to be just like his dad so he blows on his food before he eats it. It is not always hot food. The other day he was blowing on his cheese before each bite. The other night MacKinlay cooked up a Bratwurst and Greysen ate 3/4 of it. Yesterday MacKinlay made two Bratwurst and Greysen spat it out. You just never know day to day what this kid will like. He is sure a cutie.

Greysen Update

Greysen went to the dentist for the first time yesterday. He is a little behind with his teeth, but we are going to wait another 6 months before we get concerned and take X-rays. I have felt that Greysen is behind in many ways such as walking, talking and getting teeth. In the past week I have realized that he may be behind in some areas but ahead in other areas. He has just learned to blow his nose, puts the shapes in the shapes cube, and is starting to follow directions. He may not talk or walk but he understands and can get into lots of things.

Our Climbing boy!

Greysen is our little climber. He loves to climb on the school desk, over the arm of the couch down the couch to the end table, on the end table, over the arm of the other couch, down the couch, to the popcorn machine to open the door. Then he climbs down the couch and crawls to the school desk to do it all over again.

J-E-L-L-O

I made a lot of pudding today for MacKinlay and Greysen. I fed Greysen some and he started freaking out because he wanted to hold the spoon.

I gave him the spoon and then he was freaking out because he wanted the bowl.

I gave him the bowl and he stuck his hand in and then he wiped it on his face.

That is when I had to get out the camera and capture this fun moment. He sure makes me laugh.

The OREGON Coast

We went to Lincoln City, OR this past weekend with the Timms family.

I have never felt water so cold. It couldn't have been more than 40 degrees. It sent cramps up my legs but Greysen didn't seem to mind.

Greysen loves the beach. The second he saw the sand he wiggled out of my arms and stretched out belly down on the sand and just giggled.

The only drawback with the beach is Greysen will not stop licking the sand. He is a picky eater yet he can't stop sticking his tongue right on the sand.

We went to the aquarium and I thought this 7 foot shark was captivating.

Here is Greysen with daddy checking out the fish.

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Happy 60th birthday Grandpa Timms!
