"Trick or Candy!"

Jackson quickly caught on to the Halloween phrase that put candy in his bag, but of course he put his own little twist on it, shouting "Trick or Candy!". So cute. He has so much fun at our ward "trunk or treat" and I was just glad our little monkey kept his costume on the whole time!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

The leaves have been falling from the big shade tree in our backyard.

We have spent the past couple of nights in the back trying to rake, but someone was keeping us from getting anything done....

taking a little break from all of the leaf-throwing

Durango

Over Labor Day weekend, Jackson, Dana, and I went down to Durango to visit my grandparents while my husband had an adventure of his own on a roadtrip to Dallas. Read about that here.


We had a great time enjoying the mountain air and relaxing with the grandparents. Jackson loved having tons of room to roam and he even made a new best friend-Breck, the German Sheperd. It was so cute to watch Jackson interact with Breck-he absolutely loves animals, which is amazing to me because neither Seth or I are "pet people". But after watching Jackson with Breck I am convinced we will someday have to give in and get a dog. Breck actually became quite attached to Jackson as well and Breck started protecting Jackson against all the adults in the house! By the end of our trip, I couldn't even pick Jackson up without Breck charging me! And of course we had to take Jackson down to the river walk to toss rocks in the river (his absolute favorite thing to do!) We had so much fun....and probably took way too many pictures of my little cutie....
