Family Pictures

A couple months ago we had my sister take our family pictures. I think they turned out super cute. Thanks Chelsi!!

Our family of four.

We did manage to get a few cute pictures of Quinton while we were at it. I didn't get any of Liam cause it was way too cold outside for the little guy. He was a nightmare all night long from being out in the cold for the few minutes it took to snap our family pictures.

Q is such a sweet little guy. We love him so much. He loves doing puzzles, playing games on any ones phone and he's not afraid to ask you for it (I personally hate this), making Liam laugh, and playing baseball,basketball, and soccer with his Dad. He loves reading books and has a lot of his books memorized. Most of the time instead of us reading to him at nights it has turned into him reading to us. I absolutely love his sweet little voice!! He loves to sing. Every now and again when I look in the rear view mirror I even see him doing a little head banging. His nursery teacher tells us all the time how impressed she is with Q during singing time. He has a great sense of humor and makes us laugh all the time. Some examples

-While ordering ice cream at Dairy Queen one night in the drive thru Q had his head phones on in the back watching a movie and he yells super loud " I want fries......and a diet coke!!" A kid after my own heart.

-While walking out to the car Q tells me very seriously"Mom don't fall and break your ass." I looked straight over at Bran cause I know he didn't hear that from me. Not our proudest parenting moment but still pretty darn funny. Thank heavens we haven't heard that word since.

-Q "Mom I need to go potty." Me "you do" Q "yeah mom cause I'm dancing". Always a sure sign.

-Bran asked Q the other day what they should get me for Christmas and Q replied "a tree and some lights"
-Bran asked Q what movie he wanted to watch and he said Dinosaurs(land before time). Bran then said under his breathe "Dinosaurs sucks" Q then looked at him and said "no dad, you suck."

-Quinton was on the potty the other day and farted really loud so I let out a little giggle and he told me very seriously "Its not funny mom, its poop."

I could go on and on. He is the Best!!

Happy Halloween

This year Q was a transformer for Halloween and boy did he think he was cool. He picked out this Bumblebee costume all by himself and was so excited to wear it on Halloween. So excited in fact he wore it everyday up until Halloween. Wearing such a costume apparently causes one to get real serious and break out in fake fighting.

Awe.. That's one cute lion if you ask me. Look familiar? Poor Liam is already getting the brunt of hand me downs. So sorry little buddy. I promise next year I will buy you your very own.

One night we went to a trunk or treat with Grandma and Papa Kelley. Quinton had a great time running around with Grandma. He thinks Halloween is the BEST...People tell him he looks cute and then they give him candy.



Quinton thought little red riding hood and the wolf were a little bit creepy.

Boo at the Zoo. Super Cute. The kids had a ball!

Quinton thought this giraffe was pretty much the coolest thing ever. No hesitation this time. He had to get a closer look.

Q with a storm trooper


The whole gang

Finally the big night




First we took the kids around to see grandparents. My parents got a new bulldog that looks just like Besty did and Quinton LOVES her to death. You can't tell from the picture but even Bella was even dressed up for the festivities.

Quinton and Liam with all their cousins.

Next stop... Grandma and Papa Kelleys.


Then came Grandma and Papa Halls. Everyone was dressed up at their house and Q was not to sure about the whole situation. My father in law(on the far left) even gave me a good scare while I was ringing the door bell he snuck up behind me and I just about wet myself.
Grandpa Hall the monster/total creepstier, Nicole the witch, Justin the I.F. Super fan, London the Ken doll and Cody the vampire. This bunch takes Halloween to a whole new level.

Branden's beloved Chiefs played on Halloween night so we had to get home pretty early. It worked out good though cause then I was able to take Q around our neighborhood to treat or trick. Q insisted on trick or treating at every house in site including our own. And to end the night the Chiefs won in overtime. Whoo Hoo!!

Pumpkin Patch and Carving

We love the Pumpkin Patch! Q had fun running around picking up every small pumpkin he could find. He also loved going through the hay maze.


Picking out the perfect pumpkin is hard work.

Cute Boy!!




Next up was the carving. Q was really excited about carving this year compared to last year. He was on the table helping the entire time. He even got in on the action and did his own.... with markers of course.


Q was not a fan of the pumpkin guts...that nasty job was left for mom.

Finished product. Quinton kept telling me all night how awesome his pumpkins were. I love how excited this little boy gets over the simplest things.

Hangin at Home

I love love love how sweet these two are together. Q is such a good older brother!! Best friends in the making.

Don't mind Q's awesome outfit. Must have been one of those days.
Q came running with me the other night and totally passed out. Not a bad way to put the kid to bed.

These two have been cheering on their favorite team. Go BSU!! Q thinks it's pretty funny to annoy his mommy while she trys to get a decent picture.

Seriously this kid can be so buggy. Haha love him!!

Finally. I probably threatened him with time out or bribed him with candy.

Liam is such a smiley little guy. If anyone talks or even looks at him he is smiling. He's too cute!

And getting so big and strong.... At his two month appointment he weighed 11 pounds 5.5 oz. and his height was 22 1/4.

Liam is a bit obsessed with taking baths. He has a grin on his face the entire time.


We did manage to make one last trip to the zoo which is always a good time for the kiddos.
