3rd Month

This sweet little bundle...

...is 3 months old.

Dexter and I had fun doing a photo shoot with her.

Baby girl, we just love having you in our family.  You make everybody so happy.  You are a very strong baby.  You've rolled from your tummy to back many times, and you get onto your side from your back  easily.  You are a social bug and you save your best conversations for Daddy.  We love you so much and can't imagine what we did without you!

Family and Guys Nights Out

We got a couple of those daily deal coupons for some hockey games here in Omaha last month. The first game was a UNO game, so no fights, and the home team one. We had a good time, made it through the 2nd period, and Dexter got a new hat out of the deal.

The next week Dexter and I left the girls at home and had a guy's night. We went to the Omaha Lancers game which was a lot of fun. They won in a shootout after overtime, and there was a lot of fighting. Dexter loved their mascot (a bird), the mascot had a football and skated around playing catch with the crowd. His favorite parts were the Zamboni, which he can pronounce perfectly, and dancing to all the music.

Temple Builder

Dexter loves temples.  He is always asking to go to the temple and he can even name a few from just looking at their picture. St. George (I think that one stuck because of Curious George), Idaho Falls (Grandma/Grandpa Loveless' temple), and Jordan River (Mommy/Daddy's temple).  He loves having his own temple picture in his room, too.

The other day, I went up stairs to check on him and he immediately showed me this;

He exclaimed, "I build a temple!"  

That you did sweet little boy, that you did.

Here is the architect proudly showing his masterpiece.  He told me that the "sun" block was in his words "Angee Mononi".  Such a sweety.

"Off to Neverland" for Halloween 2011

This year we had a fun Halloween.  Ashton was off of work for the ward Trunk or Treat, so we did a family themed costume party.  I made all of them except my night gown.  I found it at Salvation army for $2.50.  We went with a Peter Pan theme.  Ashton was John, the brother with the top hat and umbrella, I was Wendy, Dexter was Peter Pan and Juliette was Tinker Bell.  I just love how well everything turned out.  We got Peter Pan from netflix so Dexter would know who he was, and I tried on his pants I made while watching  the movie and after I took them off, he jumped down, ran around the room, and said "I can fly!!!!"  

I wasn't thinking very well and didn't take very detailed pictures of anything.  Sorry.  I made Dexter's hat, belt, dagger, and pants and just cut up a shirt to make it have jagged edges.  Jules, well, I made it up as I went, and it turned out very cute.  I loved every minute making those costumes.  Ashton's I made up too.  It was a night shirt out of a sheet I found at the Salvation Army.  

We had a good time at the ward trunk or treat.  Dexter got loaded up.  Halloween night, I took him over to a family in our ward's house who lives in our Apartment complex.  On the way to and from, we trick or treated at some obvious homes welcoming trick or treaters.  Then we stayed home, light our pumpkins, and waited for our 1 trick or treater to come.  Dex enjoyed the whole night!

Tinker Bell's Wings

The Sunday before Halloween, we had a pumpkin carving party at one of Ashton's classmates house.  We had a fun time with everyone.  We dressed the kiddos up again so that everyone could see them.  They enjoyed it.

Our Pumpkins we carved at Julie's house

These are from Facebook that Julie took:
