Hanging onto the leg of his singing frog.
He loves watching Jared play video games.
Fell asleep on election night.

in his swing. with his two elephants. he always grabs onto them and holds them while he sleeps.
He is just an amazingly good baby. He has been sleeping 10 hours through the night. :) It makes me SUPER happy. He is ALREADY teething... ugh. He only takes two short naps during the day... bah. He laughs so much!! It's so cute! He loves taking baths, he is always splashing all over. He loves looking at himself in a mirror. We have just been loving on him as much as we can.
I got a job driving school bus for Nebo School District and I'll be working 6-8 hours a day. Alden will stay with my mom... and Jared will be doing school. So it'll be interesting to see how it goes... but we gotta do what we gotta do.
We had a fun Halloween. We carved pumpkins. :) It's a tradition for us now. And we are really excited for it.
Alden helped us carve pumpkins!

Our Thanksgiving was wonderful. We spent it with my family. We played football. Had a great dinner... and of course pie. :) Although this year we only made 8 pies... I didn't take pictures... bummer.
We are gearing up for the last few weeks of the semester and looking forward to Christmas break. We are going out to Carson City to be with Jared's family for Christmas... They haven't met Alden yet. :)
Other than that things are going good. Just being happy and thankful for all we have and for the wonderful families that we are blessed to be around. :) I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday season. :)
Some more pictures:
Alden has developed the thumb sucking...

Rockin' them jeans
