Some pictures of Max and Garrett
Here are some pictures of Max and Garrett. These were taken on November 29th. They were ready for church, well at least Max was ready. Garrett was taking his nap before church. He looks so peaceful when he sleeps; I couldn't resist taking these pictures.
The next group of pictures was taken on Christmas Eve (December 24, 2008). The boys were modeling their Christmas pajamas in front of the Christmas Tree. As you can see, Santa had not come yet.

These pictures were taken on January 2, 2009. Dee yelled for me to come upstairs and to bring my camera. The boys were in Grandmama and Buddy's bedroom sitting in diaper boxes, pretending they were a train. Garrett looked at us like we were crazy. Why did we think sitting in an empty diaper box was fun? Max got too excited and tipped over.

Max's Party at Jumpin' Jacks
We had fun at Jumpin' Jacks for Max's birthday. Most all of us were there...Jeanne, Cassey, Chase, Zachary, Ty, Dee, Gina, Max, Garrett, Sonia Lynn, Jessica, Jaxson, Sydney and Blake. Grown ups and children alike had fun. If you don't believe me, just check out the footage. Was that Dee doing a somersault down the big slide? That was amazing because if I would have tried something like that, I surely would have broken or dislocated something. :-)

Trick or Treat, Who Looks Sweet?
Halloween is one of those holidays that come and go quickly. Maybe because you spend about 1 -2 months preparing and decorating for it and it comes and goes in a matter of 2 hours.
Max helped me dump all of the bags of candy into the Halloween candy bowl that I bought from Target for $1.99. Dee was shocked that I didn't buy any chocolate. I told him it was safer that way...we wouldn't be tempted to eat the leftovers.
When Dee got home from work, he helped me dress the boys up in their costumes and hang up some last minute Halloween lanterns.
Max was a trooper. He let Mommy try to use her creative juices in making his costume this year. I can't take all of the credit. I saw the idea on the internet. As you can see in the pictures below, Max was a highway. I dressed him in his black sweats and black turtleneck and used yellow electrical tape as the lines. On Thursday night, I had him grab some of his cars and I sewed them onto his pants and shirt. Then I went to the computer to look for some highway signs. I was deciding between Route 66 and I-15 (the interstate here in Utah). As you can see, I chose the famous Route 66, made more famous in the eyes of children from the animated Pixar movie, CARS. On his back, I copied a picture from the movie and typed, "Life is a Highway" under the picture. This was also a song made more famous from the same movie.
I (Max) received a lot of compliments. Saying that his costume was cuter than anything I could buy at the store.
Just as I snapped this picture, Max decided to smirk, so I had to take another picture.
I was also going to make a costume for Garrett that I saw on the internet. But then remembered that Amy and Henry had bought Max a Mickey Mouse costume which he would have worn for his first Halloween had he been born at his due date (October 28th). But he decided to come about a week later and so he was too big to wear it by the next Halloween.
But it was perfect for Garrett. I first took these pictures of him without the hood/ears on as it was a little warm inside and he was getting fussy. And then we put the ears on him and realized I was at a wrong angle so it is hard to see his ears. Sonia took video of it and will post it, so maybe you will have a better look.

Garrett joined me and Max as we "tricked and treated" up and down our street. It started to sprinkle and then the drops were getting harder. So I brought Garrett home to help Dee pass out candy to the kids and grabbed an umbrella and Max and I continued through the neighborhood. We were out for about an hour and a half and it was time to come home. The weather wasn't too bad. It would sprinkle on and off but it got dark pretty quickly.
Halloween is over, although we still have to put away the decorations and hide the candy from Max as he thinks it is ok to eat it for breakfast and midnite snacks. On to the next festivities!
