Yesterday

Despite the snow flutter business we had here in Orem yesterday, Cason still wanted to go outside and play. I can tell he's really starting to miss playing outside. He was amazed with this snow. When we first went outisde he just stood there and stared at the snow. Then he looked at me as if to say, 'is this safe?' I went out onto the grass and he immediately followed and then headed to the sand. Where he then stood for another couple minutes checking it out. He was, amazed by it-So even though it was cold and the playground and slide were all wet, we went out and played in it. I can't help but wonder, if he loved this little snow flutter...how much is he going to love it when it really snows? Should be interesting.ps-check out what I made yesterday-this is my quick and easy way of breezing through fifteen pictures. Pretty cute, right?

(Un)Happy Halloween!

That's right, I'm finally getting around to posting Halloween pictures. My sister helped me try to get a super cute picture of Cason and I finally got back our attempts. Although it didn't go as well as hoped (meaning we didn't get that "cute" shot) it sure is a fun memory.

It started off pretty normal with Cason chasing around every toy and getting fixated on a lawn mower. When I tried to get him to focus on me and sit down the tears started. Our first attempt-It mostly went down hill from there. We tried other toys and then I saw my sister's bucket of andy and that was a pretty big hit. He picked out all of these little boxes and started hoarding them-(notice the tear-filled eyes there)TThen would get happy again and smile. Unforunately he would never stop moving so most of the pictures has something blurry in it. But at least in this one he's smiling, right? So he's totally happy and then...I'm not sure really. Maybe he remembered that we were trying to still get that super cute shot? And freaks out? I'm not really sure. But he went to super happy, to super sad-After a couple more attempts we gave up. Super cute shot? Not really. Fun memory? Definitely. It'll be something fun to laugh out when he's older. Here's us with my sister and her son, Carter the Spider.Here's a poorly-lit full body shot of Cason the Monkey.And lastly, here's the super cute scrapbook page I did today-

Adorable right? It definitely helps to have cute pictures. This was Cason's first smile on camera. I remember it like it was yesterday.

Back in the habit

Last month I was so busy with Cason's birthday and working on Christmas stocking (pictures to come some day) that I haven't been scrapbooking. His birthday is long gone and this week I finished his Christmas stocking. So as I put Cason down for his nap I looked around and wondered what I could do. Then I looked at all my scrapbooking stuff and went to it. I spent a lot of time reorganizing and figuring out where I was. But I gotta tell you, I had a lot of fun making this page! I was really pleased with how cute it turned out.This past week has been so beautiful in Orem! I'm dreading the snow and being stuck inside all day so we've been spending every waking moment outside playing.Last week we went to Hee Haw Farms in American Fork with Travis' sister and son and had a lot of fun. They had a petting zoo that of course Cason just loved. He has no fear and just animals-We went for a little ride-They had a trick-or-treat hay ride where Cason scored a lot of tootsie rolls. The wrappers didn't seem to bother him at all either-This is a cute shot I got in their mini maze that Cason kept cheating on and getting on top of the hay stacks-Farmer CasonCan you even believe I got this awesome shot! So cute! It works to tickle your children and then put the camera up for a quick shot.
We had a lot of fun and I am definitely praying that the sunshine stays around for as long as possible!

what a goof

It's so fun to watch Cason learn and grow and develop this cute little personality.

I love cheesers like this one here-And then he'll just look at me and laugh about it. It's so fun. The other week I made a bunch of cupcakes then went to fold laundry in Cason's room. I was surprised when he came in to see what I was doing with half a cupcake in his hand and all over his face. He's become a complete remote hog. And even realizes what it does. If the tv isn't on he'll bring me the remote and then look at the tv, waiting for it to turn on or something. Then when he gets the remote he points it to the screen and starts pushing buttons. So funny.

Stay tuned for not so 'happy' Halloween pictures :)

on the move

The other night I got Cason in his pj's a bit early and as he was walking and playing around I noticed how adorable he looks in his new pj's. They're a bit more slimming than his others and you can really see his little belly stick out. It reminded me how fast he is growing. Well I tried so hard that night to try to get a picture of his little belly and his new pj's but I had no such luck. All I got was fuzz pictures like these-All because this boy will not slow down! This was the best picture I got and his face is all blurry because he couldn't just stop and stand for a moment, he stopped to shake his head back and forth as he yelled out an 'aaahhhhh'. It was still pretty funny though.Sunday we were actually ready ten minutes early so I tried to get a shot of how adorable he looked in his sunday best. *sight* Once again, all fuzz-This was the best shot I got. No smile but also no fuzz-
I'm definitely getting my exercise every day!
