"Oh!"

That's what Evan said most frequently (pretty much all night) when we were at Temple Square viewing the lights. He loved them! He was pointing at everything. Even from inside the car on the way there. It wasn't as crowded as I expected for the first weekend of the lights!























Reiko and Ari came over to play during the week. It was fun to see them. Ari is getting so big! And look at those eyes!













We have a pretty cool park near our apartment, with towers and building for kids to play in. Evan loves it. But the swings take the cake for him!

We had my brother and sister over for Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time! Ah, my favorite holiday. Food and family--nothing better! Hope you all had a very happy Thanksgiving! We're grateful to have you as friends and family!

Dino-mite!

John had the day off last Friday so we thought we'd take advantage of it and check out the Museum of Ancient History at Thanksgiving Point. Evan enjoyed it because there were a lot of 'hands on' exhibits and he ran around like a little crazy person. We had a great time!

Birthday from Nana and Papa

Evan's present from Nana and Papa got stuck in the office of our complex. We got it today! I've never seen Evan act this way with a stuffed animal. He loves it!

Happy Haunting!

We celebrated Halloween by going to our ward party (which was pretty lame). John dressed up as a witch doctor and Evan was a blue monster. Very cute, both of them. On Halloween we went over to Jordan Landing for some trick or treating, then over to my sister's house to go trick or treating with the kids. It was a fun evening. Evan tolerated the costume pretty well, even though it was a bit small for him.
Happy Halloween!
