Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch with Tim, Amanda, and Blake, as well as our friend from Washington, the Mathison's We had a lot of fun finding pumpkins and hanging out with everyone. Here are a few pictures of our experience.

Grandpa Hansen Comes to Visit

We had a fun time with my Grandpa Hansen when he came to visit Omaha. The boys really love to see him, and it was so wonderful to spend time with him. He now has, I believe, 53 great grandchildren.

Cookie Monster ? ? ?

So three or four days ago, I gave William a cookie with frosting on it. It was originally decorated as a pumpkin, hence all the orange frosting. He had a lot of fun with it, but I am not sure how much of the frosting he got in his mouth. As you can tell from the picture, he got it everywhere else, but not so much the mouth. He got a bath and got a ll cleaned up. Tonight, Bradley wanted a cookie so I gave him one. William saw me give him a cookie and reached up so I could give him one too. I picked one that didn't have very much frosting on it and broke off a small piece. He was very happy with it and toddled around the kitchen. This time the mess wasn't nearly as bad, probably because the frosting was a few days old.

Bradley - The Star of the Week

Look who was the star of the week. He got to put the Wildcat of the week sign in our front yard and was able to pick a few pictures to share with his class. We traced around his body and he decorated it. He had a lot of fun being the star of the week. He was so proud of himself all week.

What happens when you eat Skittles.

Here is Bradley's explanation about what happened today. He is in bed ready to go to sleep so the tooth fairy will come.

Look Who Lost a Tooth

We were watching General Conference today and Bradley came running downstairs. "I lost a tooth." We had no idea he even had a loose tooth. Sure enough in his hand was his tooth. When we looked in his mouth, we could see the little hole. His mouth was full of skittles that he had been sorting and "graphing" upstairs. He went and spit out his skittles and went to the bathroom to admire his new hole in his face. He is so excited.
