Doug Climbing

Hey, I wanted to put up some pictures of Doug doing his favorite pastime. I feel bad that all of the pictures I have of him on here so far are pure blackmail pictures.

Halloween Parties

Here are some pics from the Primary Halloween Party:

Colby was Pablo from Backyardigans. I'll get a better picture on Halloween with his hat actually on.

Hailey went as Uniqua (Backyardigans as well) My kids love that show.

Here's some scary pictures. But it's Halloween, so.... We went to a Murder Mystery Party and dressed as 80's. Doug sported a little mohawk and my shoes were to die for.

Sand Stache

Okay, so I know this is really gross, but it's one of those pictures that is definitely blog worthy. Colby was playing in the sand box and had a little bit of a runny nose. I guess he decided that eating sand was a great idea and well, I think the picture shows it best.

Here's the pic. This is just a week after Doug got home from his mission. For those of you who know Doug, this is totally out of character for him. I thought he was a great sport, and I was surprised that I didn't even have to talk him into this. His sister had these costumes (a tribute to Blind Melon; the bee and the flower). Enjoy!

Band Uniforms Anyone??

Okay, so I'm not having much luck finding any band uniforms to borrow and Doug and I are supposed to go to a Murder Mystery Party this Saturday night dressed in band uniforms! It's crunch time and so I'm asking for help online. If any of you know of a way to get band uniforms, please let me know. I would greatly appreciate it. I'm sure Doug will too...although I'll bet he's secretly hoping I don't find any so he doesn't have to dress up. Every once in a while Doug goes out on a limb for Halloween. Some of you were witness to such an event five Halloweens ago. He may kill me for this, but I am going to post the picture. You'll just have to wait until tomorrow because its in Hailey's room and she is asleep. You're gonna love it. :)

To tape??

I vaguely remember Hailey giving me trouble with this, but Colby seems to be my little magnet for mischief. The latest thing is taking his diaper off and always right after he's gone #2. (Of course this all started right after we got new carpet in our front room.) Fortunately, it has pretty much all stayed in the diaper. Initially I thought to just keep his pants on all the time, but...he has figured out how to take his pants off. So, I think I may have to start taping his diapers on. Any advice?

Cabin Fever

We've spent countless weekends this year at Doug's family cabin. We all really love it up there. It has been so much fun to be up there with family and friends.

We've finally entered the blog world!

We're finally here! I don't know why it took us so long! I would like to give a small recap of the summer. Colby turned one July 9th. He is so much fun. He definitely has the drunken sailor walk down. Hailey took dance this summer and LOVED it. She called it "bat-a-lay" instead of ballet. :) Doug climbed Mt. Rainier for the second time. This time he went with some buddies from Search and Rescue. He continues to be pretty busy with Search and Rescue. He also started a new job in June working for Apartment Realty Advisors. I've been busy working with the Young Women in the ward and chasing after my crazy, but wonderful kids. I've included some pictures of Colby getting into things for your amusement...although initially I wasn't totally "amused" with the Nesquik incident. :)

Colby's favorite pastime: playing with pans (this time he's in the colander)
