Christmas Photo's

I took Colton to get some xmas pictures done, normally we would have Jenny do them, but Wally World had a pretty cheap package...they turned out OK...
He looks so much older than only 2.5, cant believe how big my lil man is getting!!

happy 3rd anniversary

On Nov. 11th, Carson and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary. We had a pretty laid back night, we went to a yummy seafood/Mexican restaurant for dinner, then realized that we were done eating and ready to go home within 45 minutes of leaving Colton with the sitter, so we headed over to Powell's Candy Store downtown. Neither of us had been in there before, but let me tell you, they have every sort of candy you can think of, it was great!! i felt like a kid in a candy shop!;)
Here is to a good year with lots of fun, love, happiness, and many changes! i love you babe!

trick or treat

Halloween has come and gone and now its already November, wow! before we know it, I will be putting out the Christmas decorations.
We had a fun Halloween night this year. Colton was a firefighter and he was soooo cute in his costume! We went over to our friends Rhett and Kristins for a pary to watch the Ducks game and take the kids trick or treating. it was a costume party for all of us, Carson dressed up as a scary monster/ghost, I rocked the 80's flash dance outfit, and Colton was the firefighter. The kids had a blast trick or treating and Colton was so excited to get candy all night long.
