Halloween 2010

Here we are for our ward's Halloween Trunk or Treat party on the Friday before Halloween.



Dan and I dressed up as Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf again. Dallin was Darth Vader, Sierra was a vampire bride, and Quentin was a little puppy dog.



It was a fun night and the kids looked so cute.

Carving Time

Dallin's jack-o-lantern was a pirate. See the eye patch?


Not sure what Sierra's was supposed to be. But it had hair. ;)


Ooooooo Spooky!

Pumpkins Everywhere

Before Halloween we went to our local pumpkin patch. Dan's brother, Adam and Adam's girlfriend, Kim were visiting us at the time. So they were able to go with us.



What Quentin did the whole time yet again. lol

Finding a good pumpkin


Yippee, for the pumpkin patch!

The Ocean

During Labor Day we went to the ocean with some friends of ours. Quentin was only about a month old, and he did so well. He slept pretty much the whole trip.


We went to two different beaches. The first was rocky, with tide pools and seals. It was neat to see all the little sea creatures, but it was windy and chilly.



The seals

Then the second beach had smooth sand to make sand castles, and warmer temperatures. The water was still on the cold side, but that didn't stop the kids from getting themselves drenched.




Both places were a lot of fun. We had a great time!

Professional Photos

A friend of mine is a professional photographer. You can see her work here.

When Quentin was 10 days old she traveled to our home and took pictures of him. And some with Dallin and Sierra as well.

She did a beautiful job and was so good with Quentin. Here are some of the photos that we purchased from her.


See, isn't her work exquisite?!

We'll be getting this storyboard in the 10x20 size to hang on our wall or on an easel (I haven't decided yet).

3 Months Old

Quentin reached his 3 month mark two days ago.


We won't know his stats until his 4 month appointment. But I can tell he continues to grow "like a flower, not a weed" (as Sierra would say).

He is all smiles for us now. Unfortunately I haven't been able to catch any on camera. But I almost got it with this picture.


He'll hold his head up while on his stomach like a pro. He especially likes to do tummy time while on mommy's legs, and then look around at everything around him.


He is also batting at his toys all the time and within the last two days he has started to grab at his toys too!


He is an easy going, happy baby. And continues to bring our family joy.
