It didn't take long for Dallas to become a climber. He reminds us a lot of Carter when he was a little boy. We would always find him climbing on top of tables and counters when our back was turned. Dallas is the same way and it is hard to keep track of this little man!
He has mastered climbing in and out of the tub now too and this is how I found him one morning when I walked into our bathroom. Apparently he was thirsty and wanted a drink and was not going to wait for me to get him one.
These sweet brothers are becoming better friends each day. They love to play together on the days that Beckett doesn't have preschool. Beckett still really misses Carter and Rylynn when they are gone at school but he is starting to discover that Dallas can be fun too!
Beckett is always such a ham and he loves dressing up. Even in his lion towel!
One of Dallas' favorite things to do is to watch what's going on outside. Anytime he sees something interesting, he points and says, "oooooohhhhh!"
We spoiled the kids and took them to dinner for FHE at Don Pedro's. Beckett was sporting these crazy glasses he had chosen from the treasure box at school. Carter ate his whole plate of two enchiladas(of course) and then proceeded to finish off everyone else's plates! He is such a big eater these days especially when it comes to Mexican food. We always tell him we hope he gets called on his mission to Mexico so he can eat all the Mexican food his little heart desires.
Beckett's class learned about Johnny Appleseed and made these adorable pot hats! He wore his all day long and kept telling everyone that he was Johnny Appleseed!
Dallas has become notorious for stealing his sibling's food! He seriously roams the house and just takes food out of everyone's hands. He has even been known to fish apple cores out of the garbage can and gnaw on it until I catch him and throw it away. He stole the above carrot from Rylynn.
Here is the thief in action! Apples are his very favorite and if anyone is eating one he walks up and squeals with delight until he gets a bite. Beckett was very nice to share with Dallas but he wanted more than the bite he offered so he climbed right up on the couch and tried to steal the whole thing!
Carter came home from school excited about making Halloween decorations! My kids seriously begged for weeks leading up to October to be able to put the halloween decorations up and I was able to hold them off until the weekend before October 1st! Carter made these cute decorations all by himself to add to the festive decor!
We are really loving the extended falls here in St George and Dallas and Beckett and I had lots of fun park days while the kids were at school.
Beckett pulled out his halloween jammies to get in the holiday spirit!
There have been a lot of dress up being played around this house. It seems like everyday each kid tells me that they are going to be a different thing for Halloween. I love reusing costumes so I hope they stick to the ones we already have. Carter is modeling our pirate costume here!
The kids had a STEM week full of science experiments and the final activity was watching how a hot air balloon gets filled up. Parents and siblings were invited to this cool event and Beckett was thrilled to get to sit with Carter's class and be a big boy! Carter was so excited to have his little brother there with him.
We got to visit Rylynn too and of course she was so excited to show off her little brothers to her friends and teacher Mrs. Davis.
In the fall spirit, Rylynn really wanted to bake an apple cake! She had found a recipe in the back of one of her books about fall and had been begging me to bake it with her so we finally got around to making it and it was delicious! She did all the baking and decorating herself. I just assisted when she had questions. She was very proud of her first baking creation!
Poor little Dallas got into trouble with his climbing when he climbed up on the desk and fell off and broke his collar bone! Garrett was gone hunting for the week and I had just gotten all the kids off to school when he fell. He did one of those cries when he didn't breath for almost a whole minute so I knew something was really wrong. I took him into the doctor and she confirmed that he had broken his collar bone and that it was a really common injury for his age. Unfortunately it was the same bone that was broken when he came through the birth canal so she said it may have been weaker because of that. There is nothing they can do as far as casting for collar bones but she said they heal quite quickly on their own. He was really sore for the first couple of days but he was pretty active and happy after that. The kids and I enjoyed the beautiful fall evenings by taking walks and bike rides and just being outside as much as possible.
We had to make carmel apples for an FHE treat and the kids clearly liked the toppings the best since they just ate all the candy off of the outside.
Beckett insisted on putting on a different halloween costume to play every hour or so while he was home from school. Here he is sporting the pirate costume as he dug in the neighbor's dirt!
This is one of the halloween crafts he made at preschool and he was so excited to take a picture of it!
I love lazy mornings with these two cuddle bugs!
Grandma Allred spoiled us and sent Rylynn and me to a concert at the celebrity concert series. Rylynn was very excited for a girls night out with Mom and she got tons of compliments on her sparkly hat!
Sarah invited us on a field trip to the farm with Alethia's preschool class. We had a great time! We got to see lots of animals and ride a hay ride and pick pumpkins from the patch. It was a beautiful day and the boys loved it!
Beckett had to be inside the boxes of pumpkins to get a close enough look!
This was a lazy saturday morning with the four cuties I love the most!
