Say "Cheese"

Last weekend Natalie asked if we would go up the canyon and take pictures of her family. We love going up the canyon to see the fall colors. So, after church we loaded up the car and headed to the mountains. We are very fortunate to live only minutes from such beautiful sites. My parents came along for the ride so they could enjoy the outdoors with the family (babysitting). Here are some of the pictures Larry took.

the river bed and are dead...

I mentioned in the last post that Dresden wanted to be a "Doofus", this is what I was referring to...

Charming!!!

Star Wars

So, last year Dresden was really into Star Wars so our family dressed up as Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Darth Vader, and Yoda. This year we are still undecided about what we should dress up as. Dresden is leaning towards a "Doofuss". He wanted to buy some googley eye glasses, which we bought for him, and ever since he has been "Doofus" obsessed. It sure would be an easy costume to come up with, not to mention costing much less than a store bought one.

Here are a few pictures of costumes the boys have worn in the past...

What a fearsome superhero Dresden makes. This, by the way, is Daredevil. Did you know that Dresden shares the same initials as Daredevil??? Gee, I wonder why Dresden was named Dresden DeVon...

"Handsome Little Devil"

was Logan's costume.

He was 6 months old.

Really, can they get much cuter???...
