I got my braces off!!

I finally got my stinkin braces off 2 weeks ago!! I am soooo glad to have them off! I had them for a yr and a half!
 
 
Brigham and I relaxing after church yesterday
 
I took Brig to get his hair cut the other day, my friend Christy owns Fantastic Sam's down here and she does a great job! He does a great job too!


 
Finished product :)
 
 
 
He sure loves his daddy

He had 2 friends over the other day, look at my house!!! :) At least they had fun right?

Halloween

We went down to Phoenix for Halloween this year, we went door to door with Mikey's brother Peter and his family. Brigham had a blast, there were 2 houses he didn't go to the door, they had scary music and scray decorations going on :) He got plenty of candy.
 
Here he's helping daddy drill holes in one of the pumpkins, we carved 5 pumpkins this yr!! 4 of those were from our own garden!
 
 
Here we are in costumes, Brig is Jake from "Jake and the Neverland Pirates", Mikey is Mr. Smee and I'm just a pirate

 
These are totally out of order but oh well...we stayed the night in Phoenix and went to a pumpkin patch the next morning

 
He's giving Shea kisses

 
The whole group minus gram and grampa Sorensen

 
Brynn...Brigham loved hanging out with her
 
 Silly kids

 
Grandkids with grandparents, Brig loves his grampa








 
Love this pic!!
 
Mr Smee



 
Of course while we were down there we had to hit up Cafe Rio!
 
2 days later gram and grampa and David spent the day at our house, Brig LOVED his uncle David!

October

So October has come and is alomst gone! We haven't really been too busy with anything very exciting. I got called to be the 2nd counselor in the Young Women's program and I am TERRIFIED!!! Our ward isn't big enough to have advisors so it's just us members of the Presidency who "get" to teach :) I'll have to teach about every 4 weeks and that scares me sooo much I'm already losing sleep over my first lesson, which is next week!! I've been telling people this calling is meant to help me not be so bossy/controlling :) Hey can you blame me? I'm around a 2 yr old boy ALL DAY LONG!!! I'm excited to get to know the girls and hopefully help them in any way needed.
Brigham is growing up like crazy! He started going to preschool a couple months ago and loves it! He only goes once a month, but that's perfect for hime. He has 3 more yrs till he starts Kindergarten anyways. He is a funny little boy, he has started to say "excuse me" when he burps, if it's a real loud burp he says it 2 times :) He has so much confidence for such a young kid, he will talk to adults and older kids all the time! I love that about him! I would have NEVER done that when I was little and I'm hoping I never have to worry about him being shy, it's no fun! We were at the park one day and there was a kid that had to have been about 10 yrs old skateboarding and Brig just went up to him and started running along side him, showing him his BYU jersey and saying what his name was. It was awesome! He's talking so much more and better I love it!
Mikey just went to his yearly National Sales Meeting back in Kansas City, he received an award for best new product sales! WOOO go Mikey! It's awesome because a lot of the new products are not registered in his biggest state (California) so that makes this award even better!!
 
 
 
We (I) carved 2 pumpkins out of our garden I was pretty impressed :) Brig loved them! We have been infested with NASTY grasshoppers this year and by the 2nd day they had eaten all of Minnie's ears and bow :( We have 5 more we'll carve in a couple weeks.

 
 
This is the extent of my creativity :) we made a happy monster (as Brig calls it) out of a grocery bag! AMAZING eh?
 
 
He's helping daddy build a bench/step for Brig to be able to climb onto our tramp, he loves these! Even if he was just using a screw driver I think he would put them on.
 
 
He hates when I take pictures of him lately
 
 
Most of the pics I get of him are like this now...he's pointing at me saying "NOOOO mama"
 
 
Lately he'll go over to the sink and grab the scrubber and act like he's cleaning, its so cute!
 
 
Back view! Look how tall he is
 
 
He looks so silly right here, I love this little guy!
 
 
Today for preschool they got to dress up in Halloween costumes, since we know he would ruin his real costume, Jake from Jake and the Neverland Pirates, I dressed him as a BYU football player, he looked so cute
 
 
Here's his spikey hair, we took him to my friend to have his hair cut, since every time we try to do it he freaks out. He did great and I think his hair looks awesome!
 
 
We almost had an America's Funniest Home Video's moment...if I would have started recording a second earlier...
 
He is so athletic, I think this is pretty good swingin for a 2 yr old
