Family Picture

Paul in the costume parade introducing us as the "McDonald family."

As promised, here is our family picture from the trunk-or-treat. Thanks for taking these Lisa! You're the best!

Trunk-or-Treat

Old McDonald had a farm E-I, E-I, O, and on his farm he had the most adorable cow you have ever seen! E-I, E-I, O.

E wanted to look at everything upside down all evening.

E and Mrs. McDonald

He has just discovered that he loves hair!

They took a family picture of us there, so I will post it when we get it. (As long as we don't look to ridiculous.;) I have to say, I was very pleased to find that their setup included hay bails!

I wish I could say that his costume was my handywork, but I have to give all of the credit to Wal-Mart, and thank them for having children's costumes for $10!

E's first Birthday Party!

On Saturday we went to E's little girlfriend's B-day party!

E and Mommy enjoying the "fall colors" in California.

Aren't these two kids adorable?! This made me so excited for E's first b-day party!

E and Daddy watching the balloons.

E's first swing ride.E's favorite facial expression when he is excited.

E's first time going down a slide.

Sea World!

A friend invited us to go to Sea World with her last week, because she had some free tickets. I had never been before and was so excited! E didn't really have any clue what was going on, but we still had a great time!:)

Did you know there are horses at Sea World? How about Elmo and Cookie Monster?!

These two are so funny together! E loves to play with Addison!

There's that face again!

Last week . . .

One of our new and thoughtful neighbors brought me this amazing goodness!

We watched the BYU game with some friends.

E was able to pull some toys out of his toy box.

One of Paul's classmates from UVA came to visit for the weekend and brought E a fun surprise.

Paul's friend is from Boston, so of course his first request was to go to the beach!

I decided to add Boogie boarding to my life's to do list!

Doesn't it look like an absolute blast?!

But, you have to be prepared to crash hard!

Paul and I decided that we will be like this sweet couple someday...

Uncle Larry visit = Beach day!

Can I just say that I am in love with this picture?! that's all.

This was our setup...Paul is THE biggest BYU football fan. So, what does he do? He wraps his laptop in seran wrap and brings it to the beach with us so that he can listen to the game! Pretty creative right? Well, I thought so, until his computer overheated because the fan was covered with seran wrap.:( I hope you all learned a very valuable lesson...

I wasn't planning on this, but E touched the sand for the first time.

...and one more for your viewing pleasure.:)
