the dreaded 2nd place curse

2nd place in flag football, 2nd place in last year's intramural and church basketball leagues, three times at byu, he even got 2nd at state in high school b-ball, and tonight, the curse continues....2nd in the graduate's intramural basketball league. they played fantastic though and were so much fun to watch, (even though i could only catch glimpses because of the crazy toddler i had to chase around).

our little devil

i mean angel.

he's got legs and knows how to use 'em

someone got daddy's legs.

here have a plop of spaghetti

the little man wants to feed himself now. bring on the messes!

happy uncooperative halloween!

so we had costumes planned for quinn, jayden, and i where jayden would be an x-ray machine (skeleton showing with all of the things inside the belly, aka wedding ring, coins, etc) and quinn and i would wear scrubs and be doctors. jayden's costume involved wearing a box, which, needless to say, he was not having. so we scrumaged around the house looking for something that looked anything like a costume, and found a snow suit that looked a little like a bear. when people asked, instead of telling them that he is a blue bear (because really, who's heard of a blue bear) we told them that he was plan b. luckily not many people asked and even a few thought he was cookie monster. why didn't we think of that?

afraid of the spiders in the backdrop. where in the world would he get that from?! ;)

daddy's lil' helper

i love that i came outside at the time that i did so that i could capture this moment. i love that our lawn mower just happens to have a little handlebar just jayden's size. i love all of the beautiful colors of the trees behind our house. i love that quinn doesn't care how long it takes him to mow the lawn with two little feet in front of him slowing him down. i love that jayden really feels like he is helping daddy, and that quinn really treats him like he does.

i love my life.

hotties with the bodies

i've always thought that ben harper was incredibly good looking, so when quinn was told that he looked like ben harper, and i realized that hey, he does look a little like ben harper, it made quinn's hotness level go up that much higher. i didn't know hotness levels went this high!

(if you don't know who ben harper is, he is the good looking one up front...not one of the scary gangstas or the white snoop dog in the background)

when i took out the camera, stuck it in quinn's face and told him to look like ben harper, this is what he gave me:

maybe not a face ben harper would make, but definitely a face hotter than any ben harper could ever make.
