Phone Dump

Hanging out with his buddies at story time

Showing off our new Halloween banner





Birthday card from Papa and Gaga

Waiting for his 3 year check up, he loved wearing the gown

Sleeping in his new tent

Loving the shirt he got for his birthday








"It fits, mom!"


Sulley needed his own bed

And his own pillow








Happy Halloween

We started off our Halloween by getting donuts for breakfast.


Then we went to the library so that Soren could pick out his free book.  He was thrilled to find a book with two of his favorite things:  Clifford and baseball.


For trick-or-treating we headed over to a friend's neighborhood to enjoy the evening.

This boy is just adorable, we love him so much!  Life with a three year old can definitely be challenging, but mostly it is so much fun!  He is talking all of the time, telling stories, using his imagination.  He is so sweet and polite always saying please, thank you and sorry.  He also makes sure you are ok when you cough and says "bless you" when you sneeze.  He is always giving hugs, kisses and cuddles.  He always requests that I sing "temple" (I Love to See the Temple) and "Heavenly Father" (A Child's Prayer).  He loves to say the prayer.

He is so excited to be a big brother, he regularly asks me if the baby is coming.  Soon, I promise (not that 9 weeks is all that soon to a 3 year old).  He is excited to hold and play with the baby.  I am confident that he is going to be a fantastic big brother, he loves babies and is always so sweet with them.  

Soren is such a blessing to our family.  He is always kind and considerate.  He is sweet and social.  He loves being around other people and playing with them.

Love you, sweet boy!

Pumpkin Carving Party

Our friends hosted a pumpkin carving party.  It was a lot of fun, Richard and I had fun carving the pumpkin while Soren ran around with his friends.  This is the first year of my life that I feel like I can actually display the pumpkin I helped to carve.  Usually it gets carved and then goes in the trash as another disaster. :)  We were quite impressed with ourselves.
