Pictures and Cute Boys=Cute Pictures

So one morning a few days ago the boys were looking cute (as usual) and I thought it would be fun to take some pictures (as usual). So here is the result...some pictures of the boys looking cute.

I Want to be a Firefighter

The final bid of the auction for our family to have dinner at the fire house: $60

To take three little boys to the fire house and have them go for a ride in the fire truck, spray the hose, try on the gear: Priceless!

We won an auction at Josh's school to have dinner at the firehouse.  We went a couple of Saturdays ago and loved it.  We got to ride around in the fire truck and look at Christmas lights, got a full tour of the firehouse, and the dinner was really yummy too!  Coming home the boys announced they want to be firefighters when they grow up.  

Josh and Ben loved talking to eachother on the headsets in the truck!

He looks so small in such a big truck.

Fireman Bruce gave us a hands on lesson on all of the gear on the truck.

Ben loved trying on the suit.  It was slightly too big!

Josh loved it too!

All of us at dinner.  Each of the boys had their hats waiting at their place at the table.  Do you think Evan enjoyed his dinner?  Look at that messy face!
They all got a turn spraying the hose.

O' Christmas Tree

Since the $20 Christmas tree we bought at Walmart the year we got married (8 years ago) finally fell over for the last time last year and snapped off at the base we decided this year was the year to get a real Christmas tree.  Steve has been waiting for this for years.  So, a couple of weeks ago we took the boys over to the local Christmas tree "farm" to cut one down ourselves.  The boys seemed to have a good time, and Steve found a beauty of a tree that is over 9 feet tall and is now proudly displayed in our living room.  

They're off to find the perfect tree.
Searching, searching...
Cute Evan!
More searching...
More cute Evan!
Cute Ben!
One more of cute Evan!  (He didn't want to search for trees in the mud so Mommy took the opportunity to take lots of pictures of him.)

Cute Josh says, "I see the perfect one over there!"
The final vote is unanimous...this tree is a winner!

Watch out, were bringing this beauty home!

My little model!

Here is a picture that I took of Ben before church the other day. He is quite photogenic. I have a couple more pictures that I took of him and a couple of Josh too. I haven't had time to edit them yet. Steve and I are leaving on our trip tomorrow morning. Ten days in Europe with just Steve. I can't wait! I am sure I will have lots or pictures and things to write about when we get back.

Halloween

Well, it's better late than never. We had a fun Halloween this year. The boys got lots of candy. It still lingers. We had the ward Trunk or Treat party the Saturday before Halloween. They had a fun time getting lots of candy and playing with friends. There is a teenager in the ward, also named Ben, that was the Joker for Halloween. Our Ben was quite scared of him. He was on the lookout for him all night and would keep pointing him out and trying to avoid him. It was really funny, though maybe not for Ben. Then we went to Lombardi's Ranch to the pumpkin patch Halloween day. The boys go to ride the train and pick out more pumpkins. We also got some of their yummy corn too. Then that night they had a fun time trick-or-treating. Steve's grandma Snow came as well as the boys' Grandpas Familia and Snow.

What cute boys. Luckily I got a picture of Josh before he ran off to play with friends.
Our Batman - Ben actually began pooping on the potty for this costume. Well worth the few dollars I spent for it.

Chewbacca Evan (not to be confused with Ben when he wore this costume - they do look a lot alike) - He loves the hat on this. He wanted to put it on every night while he was getting his pajamas on.
The Joker snuck up behind Ben to take this picture when Ben wasn't looking. :)
The train ride at the pumpkin patch.
Don't they look enthused.
Monkeying around while waiting in line for the train.


Evan and the pumpkins. I had envisioned getting nice pictures of all the boys in front of the pumpkins. They wanted to play instead - go figure!

Problemos!

Okay, so my blog is having problems. I uploaded some more of the park pictures a couple weeks or so ago (see post below) and they were all mis-sized. So, I changed my template again. I am going to try to catch up now with some pictures. Like Halloween, that was like last month. I am going to try (that is the operative word here) to get everything caught up before we leave for vacation in a week. Wish me luck!

The Park - Part 1

Concert at the Park

Okay, so these pictures are from August. I kind of had forgotten about them. We went to a few of the concerts in the park over the summer. They were fun, and the boys always had a good time. We would bring some yummy In-n-Out for dinner, dance, and the boys would always run around and wear themselves out and be ready for bed when it was over. Too bad the fun of summer is over. Good times!
