Holloween 2009

Turner and I braved the ghost and goblins Saturday night and went trick or treating for Holloween. A block over about 30 or so houses got together and made a block party with games, candy and other activities for the kiddos. It was cool. Except that all of the people were not inside there houses - so there was no:

1) knock on the door
2) say "trick or treat" at the top of your lungs
3) then say "thank you" as you leave (or dad takes the candy you just got from that house)

Instead Turner was trying to figure out who to say "trick or treat" to. There was so many people walking around and it was dark. Our friendly neighbors were just saying "here you go" and putting huge handfuls of candy in T's bucket. No "trick or treat" needed to be verbalized. Is nothing sacred?

It was fun, but I think Turner was even a little beaten down by the end. With about 5 houses left he just wanted to go home.

Turner Hawk

Turner's been asking for a skateboard for a couple months now. Ash and I talked about getting him one for Christmas but figured that he'd get more use out of it during the warmer summer/fall months.

We decided that we'd get him one after his first day of "school" (which is a pre-k class on wednesday & friday.) SOOOO, I left work a tad early yesterday so we could give Turner his rad new skateboard. We quickly had to go to the highschool to try out some "sweet tricks" as Turner calls them...

Happy 4th!

The wife is working today but Grandma made a suprise visit this afternoon with Logan to make ice cream! What can be better on a 100 degree day? How about ice cream with sprinkles and strawberries!? Sweet!

VIDEO TWO: The Cars Monster

There was a monster that was eating all who dared to pass. None of the Cars characters made it. Not even Lightning McQueen or Chick Hicks who was the last to be eaten...

Turner holds his new baby brother

"Well, I call him Gus"
Turner has been really great with his "new baby brother." He was really exited to take donut holes to school on Tuesday with a picture. Things are going great. It doesn't hurt that Gigi is here for a couple weeks and we've had friends and family stop by and offer all sorts of help. Sometimes, at Turner's bedtime, we all sit together and read a couple books while snuggling under the covers in Turner's bed. It's awesome. This video is just before such an occasion.

The Boys are Cool.

Gus and his Mom came home today. What's the first thing we did? take a picture of the my sons together of course. enjoy!

In case you didn't know, Christmas is fun.
