Fall in a Flash

 Okay, one of my biggest pet peeves in the blogging world is when people go on and on about something.  I'm sorry, I don't have enough time, energy or desire to read every dang word you're writing!  It also bugs me when there are TONS of photos of the same event.  Now that it is easier to load photos on Blogger, I can see how they would do it, but with the old way?!?!  Come on!  Doesn't anyone else have things to do other than blog? And since I'm so far behind, obviously, I have other things to do than blog.  But I have so much to cover we're just going to have a few "in a flash" posts to get you all caught up!

Family Photos- October 9

So, at the time Jason had just finished his mentorship with Swift and I thought we would only  be together as a family for a few days.  Well, that turned out to not be the case.  (If only I could blog about that...anyway...) But I'm so glad I rushed our family to get photos done right away!  I loved them all, but here are a few to share.  (Maybe another post to come with more...)

Scrapbook Retreat- October 21-23

Johnny finally left the county!  I took him on a scrapbook retreat to Heber.  Long story (going back to the I thought Jason was leaving when I made those plans), but he was the only boy and a bunch of scrapbooking ladies.  He was a pretty good sport.  No photos though.  :(

LA Road Trip- October 25-26

Johnny finally left the state.  Not sure I'll count it though because we were only outside of Arizona for maybe 12 hours.  Jason had to apply for a TWIC card.  So we bonzai-ed it.  Didn't take many photos, but this one is from a gas station in Quartzite.

Pumpkin Carving and Halloween- October 30

I wanted Johnny to be a sumo wrestler for Halloween.  I read online how to make the "diaper." I read online how to make the wig.  I made the "diaper." I made the wig.  (I figured if a kid can't be a sumo wrestler in AZ on Halloween, then he can't be one anywhere!)  Well, we practiced with the wig, no problems.  Put the wig on for a few photos all decked out and that wig was gone in two minutes!

He liked playing with the glow sticks that Spencer shared.

Family photo after we changed him out of his Halloween costume.

State Fair- November 3

Balloon Festival- November 18

Curtis Thanksgiving- November 20

Johnny enjoyed a roll and choked on some small pieces of turkey.  Those old high chairs aren't as easy to manipulate in a flash as the new ones are.

Mommies and their babies!  I know it's blurry, but in the other one none of the babies are watching!

Colette was in town the week of Thanksgiving and she and Johnny had some major bonding time while Mommy worked.

Dial Thanksgiving- November 24

Johnny enjoyed his own Grandma Beth made mini rolls, some corn and some potatoes.  We avoided turkey this time. 

Yep, this is what happens when you keep Johnny up past his bed time- GROUCH city!

Family photo- Daddy was being a dork, but that is the most authentic smile I have ever gotten out of him in a photo that I think I'm going to frame it. (Also to show him that if you want to be a dork, it will get documented FOREVER!)
