Fall Days

So here is an update on our autumn happenings....

Ty is loving preschool and got to go to HeeHaws for a field trip. This year they invited families to go so I went with both kids and they had a good time with their friends and all of the animals.

That same night we threw a Halloween Party with a bunch of friends and it turned out to be tons of fun! Being our second year to host, we have now deemed it "The Baxter's Annual Halloween Party" so I guess we are committed until we decide to move :) I love having people over so now I just need to work on my party throwing skills!

Mike and I

The ladies and the Rocker!

Then of course Halloween, our neighborhood had a party at the church since they have abolished the trunk or treat, we had a lot of fun with friends and neighbors eating chili, face painting for the kids, games and of course lots of treats! These are my cute little munchkins....

Family

Tyson: Loves preschool, handsome, a good big brother, and too smart for his own good sometimes...

Madison: Pudding lover (along with anything else loaded with sugar), maker of messes, cuddle bug, and has that look that always gets her out of trouble...

Baby Boy Baxter: Nameless, very active, proud of his gender (won't show that pic for his sake)...

Stacy: New job, getting rounder everyday, always busy, loving life...

Mike: Busy dad, hard at work, project finisher, almost done with school (yay!!)...

Private...

There are some people in this world that don't have any respect...therefore, we have to go private. Please send your e-mail addresses so I can invite you :) Thanks!! (m_s_baxter@yahoo)

Summer outings, camping trips, Madi's 3rd Birthday, etc...

Day at the duck pond

First outing in the trailer...this is what happens when mom forgets the brush!

pretend fishing with sticks :)

Madi turns 3!! Can't believe my baby is getting so big!

We have also gone to the Bundy family reunion (forgot the camera), Tyson got his hair chopped for the summer (no more big red curls), oh, and Madi is finally potty trained yay!! hmm, not much else for now, we'll keep you posted :)

They say the third time is a charm...

Abby Leigh, Amaia, Jordan, hmmm...so many names to choose from. Don't know what we're having yet, just guessing at the gender :)

Random Events

Easter came with a random trip to St. George for a couple of days and then home Easter morning... We had a nice day and did Easter baskets...the usual :)

A couple of days later, we had the CRAZIEST snowstorm ever and we made a snowman with the 13 or so inches of snow we recieved (in one night that is!)

(he had a short lived life however)

A couple of days after that, I participated in my firs Tri-athalon ever! It was an amazing experience, the weather was surprisingly nice, and I can't wait to do another! (okay, maybe I can wait a little while)

Before & After

Fabulous Grandparents!

Oh my.... I have really gotten out of the habit of this blogging thing! So the latest bit of excitement at our house is a bit of backyard entertainment.....

My wonderful grandparents just bought a home in Beaver and this was in their yard. They decided that we would get more use out of it than they would, so my sweet grandpa loaded it up in his truck and drove it up. Took the morning setting it up in our back field and drove home. What can I say? I guess it's a bonus to have their only great-grandkids !! Anyway, we have loved it and are so grateful to them for this fun gift :)

Snow, Snow, Snow

Once there was a snowman, snowman.......

This is Tysons new favorite thing to do, and we have had so much snow lately he gets alot of opportunity to build snowmen...our latest addition to the snowman family...Harold! Ty built him with our next door neighbor using our little snowman building kit with the instructions "Just add snow". What a good looking snowman!

I think my wife quit blogging...

I guess I'll throw in a plug...

Christmas - great time! Kids got what they wanted, I got what I wanted, Stacy wanted another kid and those are on backorder at the moment...

New Years - We gave St. George a go this year. Did first night downtown and it was pretty much the most ridiculous thing I've done on a New Years in a long time! However, I will say that the festivities began at 7, and we finally showed at 11. I guess we lost track of time! Everything was up and closed by that time and all that was left was the highschool kiddies running around kissing everything in sight. Still we mananged to snap a few shots, hang with my sister and bro in law and see some fireworks...

They did have this dewhicky where you could text your resolutions to some number and then it would show up on big screens throughout the area. I thought that was entertaining...

I love our new mattress....
