Brian loves to be outside. Bryce loves to be outside. So they're often outside together while I get things done around the house. Or go shopping. Or nap. Whatever. Last weekend Brian took Bryce to San Tan Regional Park. It's about 15 minutes from where we live and I hear they had a pretty good time. Here's a few shots of the boy from their adventure.

Moo-ey Christmas
There's a dairy farm about 10 minutes from our house. While the smell leaves something to be desired, it's a super fun place to go when they're having an event. Every Fri. and Sat. night in December they are hosting a "Moo-ey Christmas" complete with a petting zoo, hayrides, Christmas tree sales (from Oregon), hot cocoa, apple cider and s'mores at the fire pit. It was a perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit and spend time together as a family. Bryce experienced his first s'more and home-made apple cider while there. After our trip to the farm, we stayed up late to watch Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer. Now, we're ready for Christmas!
*oh, the fabulous farm is Superstition Farm. Check it out if you're in the area!

Giving Thanks
I am so thankful for my wonderful husband. Because of him, I am able to be closer to more of my family and Bryce is able to enjoy a bunch of cousins. I just wish all of our family was able to be nearby. Especially Brian's family.
Here are a few pictures from our Thanksgiving fun, which Donna graciously hosted at her home.

Chocolate Pudding
The other night Bryce ate all of his dinner and was rewarded with a bit of chocolate pudding (something that isn't normally in our house). When he was finished...
Bryce: "Mom, some more chocolate puddin'?"
Mom: "Um, no. I think you had plenty."
Bryce: "Ummmmmm. How 'bout vanilla?"

Catching Up: Part 3
Almost caught up...
We made it to Arizona on the 22nd of October. Donna was kind enough to let us stay at her house for an entire week! Thanks again to all of the Hanchett family for putting up with us. I especially want to thank Jake, who gives up his bedroom each time we visit.
On the 29th, which was Luke's 1st birthday, we enjoyed some trunk-or-treating with Donna's family. Due to his current train obsession, Bryce was a train conductor. It only took him a couple of minutes to catch on to what was happening. He happily went from car to car saying "trick-or-treat." I guess that part clicked because after we got home he would say "trick-or-treat" when he wanted some candy from his bucket :)
We moved into our apartment on the 30th. I am so thankful that Brian's company moved us. It was so easy with three guys schlepping our stuff around. All I had to do was give directions. One guy even helped me unpack the kitchen. Although, it wasn't the greatest help because I had to rearrange everything later. But, at least he got rid of some boxes and packing paper in the process. Holy cow- movers use A LOT of packing material. I couldn't believe how some of the tiniest things were wrapped and wrapped and wrapped in paper. What a waste.
We went back up to Donna's to celebrate Bryce and Luke's birthdays on the 31st. We had so much fun enjoying the day with family we used to hardly ever see and Bryce is definitely enjoying his cousins. He often asks about Zach. And Jake. And Baby Luke. And Sarah. And Britton. And Tristan. And Camden. You get the idea. Heck, he even asks about Donna's dog, Cody.
