Uncle Beau OK Go

Beau is in the tan pants.

Luke on Ok Beau!

On school mornings the boys like to wake up to "The Chipmunks Christmas" and "Ok Go". When the Ok Go plays it also plays the video of my wonderful brother Beau and his friends doing their lip sink to the song. Today Luke asked to listen to it after lunch while I was on the computer so I turned it on and he started dancing on the bed. I got the video camera out but he didn't want to be video taped to I put the camera on the desk. and caught this little clip. I have added the clip of my brother as well because it is hilarious and then you will get an idea of what Luke is doing. Hope you enjoy!

Luke got a hold of the Camera

He loves his dog! She is definitely his dog. She had her first hair cut last Friday. We don't love it this short but it is easier to dry her and will grow out fast (we hope). She looks much more girly.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Well I finally made something fun for Halloween. We got invited to a Halloween party with the Spanos' a family from our ward. In walked my friend Katie (Thayer) Willson's brother Paul and his family. That was fun.








Braxton was Jengo Fett and Luke was a Horse, he says. I tried to tell him he was a cowboy with a horse but, he just wanted to be a horse. He picked out the costume and loved it.












Luke Galloped from house to house saying, " giddy-up" It Trick-or-treating didn't last too long. It was freezing. We went to a few neighbors homes and then did trunk-or-treat which also went very fast.










We had the missionaries over Elder Terry and Salisbury, since they were only allowed to be at members homes or ward activities, they are very nice and the boys love having them over. I think it reminds them of Uncle Beau on his mission. We taught them one of our new favorite dice games "Farkel" Yes it is a game you can buy at the store.

Playground Fun ;)

Well about two days after we got home from Utah Brax was back at school and got pushed off the play set and hit his head on the climbing pole on the way down to the ground. He woke up the next day and his eye was swollen shut. He was pretty nervous but the swelling went down and then he thought he looked pretty tuff.

We had such a wonderful time in Utah! We got to do so many wonderful things. I know I could write about it all but I thought a really long slide show would sum it all up. Thank you all for taking time to hang out with us. We miss you all so much. Thanks to our parents for letting us invade their homes and eat your food. Thanks for tending for us! Thank you for all the memories we now have!

Run Through the Warehouse

The trip that made it all possible. We were so excited for Nate and his team when we found out the won the trip. Not only would it be fun for us to go but that also meant that we as a family would be able to have a trip back to Utah after our move to Alaska. 

Nate and his team each had 60 seconds to run through 3 isles of the warehouse and grab as much as they could. Fortunately Nate's boss Scott was kind enough to run with him and push the cart. Nate did an amazing job. His focus and determination was awesome! We got everything we really wanted on our list and more. Including a Weber Grill and TV.  Way to go Nate. 

That night we had a nice dinner which we all scarffed down so we could race to a Brewers Baseball game. It was very fun. My first time at a major league game. We went with Nate's previous boss Scott, his wife Carmen, Jess Miekel and his wife Katie.
