Super Halloween







Here is Superman and the optimus prime.
We went to the trunk a treat at our new ward, fun fun!!
The night of Halloween we went to 3 different homes and they would not even walk to the door. Silly but shy little boys.

The move and our new life in Canton,Ms/Jackson area

Where do I begin.......We moved Sept 11th with the help or our wonderful mothers and a few of the brothers. And Tim Crawford! We moved a truck and trailer the 1st night and then that Sat. our families helped us move everything else.
We are still not settled into the apartment. It's small, no storage and i am counting down until we can get a house. We live at the Links which is in b/w Canton and Madison,MS. I enjoy the area down here. there is so much to do. So many parks, stores, different places to dine. It's lots of fun! Although I don't have that wonderful "girlfriend" connection to call someone and go hang out.
There was a lesson in RS a while back about how friends ARE really important and that you need "girlfriends" no matter how strong you think you are or if you think you don't need them. Guess what ladies, we do need friends! On that topic, I would like to thank you all for your friendships. I miss so many of you.

We have done a good bit of things since we have moved here and my camera is horrible. I can charge the batteries and take a few pic and it dies. Zeke KNOWS I want an SLR camera for Christmas. We'll see.....

The boys are well. Eli is not having the spells with his brain as often, maybe every few months. Although i stay on my toes if we are at the park or outside of the house
He is doing the typical 2 year old things. We potty trained for five and a half days and no luck so I am going to wait until he is 3. He still takes great long naps and he loves to be babied which he is. I know..... we have got to stop doing that esp before we have another baby. He loves following his brother. He doesn't play with "little boy toys" anymore. :( He wants to play with whatever Ethan has. They both want every boy toy that comes on TV and Ethan has taught Eli to say" I want that for Christmas" Ethan says that during each commercial and so does Eli.
Ethan is doing well. He needs to be in preschool. He did so well in Bruce K4. Now that he is home everyday. We have a battle everyday. He loves to be challenged and If and when I lose focus on him all heck breaks loose. He wants "boy-friends" down here so bad and poor Ethan all there is at play group is GIRLS! He's the only boy in his sunbeam class. His little Rosy red cheeks beam when he is around all those girls. It's so cute! I can't wait until we can get him in preschool or K5! Here's pic from the past 2 months which are the Science Museum, painting pumpkins, pizza party at the new place,Eli's long but wild hair, and Ethan can write his name. He loves to get carried away with the E. It's like one long E or 10 lines replace the 3 lines that an E is suppose to have, Yay!!
