He liked learning how to make snow angels too. Tean's excited for it to snow again so he can go out and play in the snow some more!
This year we made gingerbread (graham cracker) houses again. Tean and N (our foster daughter) loved it. I think they liked eating the candy the best! Tean loved helping daddy put up the graham cracker parts and put candy on. Now after every meal he thinks he needs to take a piece off! We had a fun time!
As you can see, Tean was a lot of help too!
Tean loved that he got lots of candy. Halloween morning started out with pumpkin chocolate chip pancakes with vanilla sauce found here. 
I found the vanilla sauce on my new obsession, Pinterest. That afternoon, we went to lunch with some friends that used to live here and came up to visit. Then we started our trick-or-treating. First we went to the health and welfare offices, then we went to the Bishes RV trick-or-treat, then we went to another trunk-or-treat that my friends ward did, and finally we went to people in our neighborhood. For the first bit, Tean thought we just went to cars to get candy. He was a little confused when we started knocking on doors, but he soon realized he would get candy there too. Tean loved that he was able to eat lots of candy, and for a couple of weeks he thought that he got a piece of candy after every meal. We are just barely breaking him of that habit! It was fun seeing Tean get into the holiday and even say "Trick-or-Treat" at the doors.
Jake made these awesome bunk beds for Tean to use when we moved him to a big boy bed. Don't they look cool? 
I think he did a great job. We got the drawers for free last year at a garage sale, so we made the bed to fit the drawers, and it looks awesome! I made some quilts for the bed and painted the room and bunk beds and put in the dresser that I refinished a while ago and I think it looks great! 
Tean loves his new room too. The first night that we had the bunk beds set up he wanted to sleep in them. I wasn't quite sure I was ready for him to sleep in them, but he really wanted to, so we let him. He did awesome! He'll even take naps in his bed and wait until I come in and get him in the mornings and for his naps before he gets off the bed. 
One day I was sewing in the room next door, and I could hear him awake from his nap playing, when he said, "Mom, I don't want to be on my bed anymore!" He fell off the bed once in the middle of the night (His legs got caught up in the blanket so he was hanging upside down), but normally he does great! My little boy isn't very little anymore :( Now if only he would potty train. . .
We have been down to Utah A LOT lately, since it is the BYU football season and we have season tickets, and my parents getting home from their mission, so that has given Tean a lot of time to play with his cousins in Utah.
He loves playing with them all and gets along with them so well! It's been a lot of fun for Tean to get to know his cousins better and have fun playing with them!
It was great to see everyone there. 
My Grandpa Arnold came, so here is a picture of 4 generations, My grandpa, my mom, me and Tean. 
Tean enjoyed eating cake and getting a mess. 
All the cousins enjoyed jumping on Daren Jr. It was great to see Mom and Dad after 2 years and having them around and hearing about their mission in Poland!
We had front row seats. It was a really good game. ISU played really well and won by a lot, which was awesome since they haven't been very good in years past. 
Tean mostly enjoyed bothering the lady sitting next to us. 
Whenever there was a kickoff, ISU had a dog that was trained to go out and pick up the tee. It was pretty cool.
Tean loved being pushed in the wagon with Broyden. Tean loved playing with his cousins. Tean and Broyden had an awesome time on their trampoline. When it was time for bed, Jake decided to see if he could fit through the window of their play house. 
He got stuck for a bit, but was finally able to make it through. All the kids thought it was hilarious. On Labor Day, we went swimming at Marlaina's bishop's house before we headed for home. 
It was overcast and the water was a little cold, but we all had a great time. 
Thanks Marlaina for letting us stay at your house!
When we got down to Mexico, Tean's favorite part of the trip was chasing the birds. 
When ever he saw some birds he had to chase them. Jake's and my favorite part of the trip was definitely eating the Mexican food. YUM! Tean also kept wanting to sit on the"zebras" that they had on every street corner (donkeys painted like zebras). And people kept trying to get us to pay to get a picture on the "zebra." We were able to get our crowns done in a day! It was a quick trip, but definitely worth it!
Tean got to learn how to milk a cow. He thought it was pretty funny. 
There was also a sand box there for him to play in. Of course he found a truck to play with in the sand. Tean also got to see lots of animals. 
He got to see and pet a big turtle that wasn't even full grown yet. 
He also saw some goats, cows, bunnies, chickens, and horses. 
We even found a horse who was named Teancum, so Tean got to feed him.
In the morning there was a parade that we went to. Tean loved it. 
Mostly he loved being able to pick up the candy. He got a grocery bag full of candy and other stuff. We got the oddest thing I've ever seen to be thrown out at a parade: a roll of toilet paper from the Costco float. Tean also got a hot wheels car. There was an old classic car in the parade, and the man driving stopped and pointed at Tean to come to the car. So Jake took Tean up to the car and the guy gave him a hot wheels car. It was a pretty cool parade.
At the Home Depot booth, Tean got to make a wooden boat. He thought it was pretty cool to be able to hammer his boat. 
Jake and Mezi decided they needed to duel it out in a sword fight. 
Tean wanted to join in. We had never gone to Chubbuck days in the past, but we had a great time!
