Fun family videos

Back to Blogging!

I know it's been a long time since I've posted anything new. Our laptop hard drive crashed in September and we had all of our pictures (3 years of our marriage and family memories) and home movies on it. I was soooo bummed to think that I had lost everything. Luckily a couple of weeks ago I took it in to office depot, I totally recommend, and they were able to save all of our pictures and videos minus a couple, but I'll live. It only cost 30 dollars too! I was so happy. But all of our pictures are on an external hard-drive now and I haven't transferred them over to our new computer. I really need to just print them off so I can have hard copies. Since then it's just been a matter of taking pictures of our different activities but I haven't been too good with that. Halloween gave me an opportunity to pull it out again and record our family fun so I hope you enjoy catching up with us.

This is his cheese face! He's been really good at smiling for the cameras.

Todd's pumpkin! It looks pretty amazing if I do say so myself. I didn't know I married such a talented pumpkin carver.

The zoo here was having halloween days and we enjoyed getting more use out of his costume. there was trick-or-treating and little displays set up. There was also a corn maze that he absolutely loved. He was running through it so fast that Todd and I couldn't catch up with him before he would run right back through. We went through 4 or 5 times. He really got the hang of saying trick-or-treat and thank you. It is so cute. I would give him candy all day just to hear him say thank you if I could but I guess I'll be a good healthy mom. We also had a ward trunk-or-treat. This was Ty's first one since last year there was a pretty big storm. Ty really liked all of the decorations. We decorated our trunk with spiderwebs and i think he thinks they are still ther because every time we get in the car he says spiders and spiderwebs while pointing to the trunk.

I really had fun making his costume this year. I took a total of 4 hours (vest and chaps) and it is big enough that I think he will enjoy dressing up as a cowboy for years to come. With another boy on the way I'm sure I'll get another good halloween use out of it.

The zoo always has pony rides but we've always been hesitant because it's four dollars and I felt that if we let in once, every time we went back he would freak out if he saw the ponies. Well, Todd and I couldn't help it, he made such a cute cowboy that it seemed only natural that he get to ride his horse. And it was the last day of the season, so I'm hoping he doesn't remember it too much by next spring. Ty absolutely loved his horse. He would pet the mane and even got his "yee-haws" down. It was totally worth the four dollars to watch him have so much fun.
