Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving, we went down to Utah and spent it with my family. We had lots of fun playing games, visiting and eating great food. While we were getting the food ready, Tean found this shelf, perfect for him to sit in and play with his cars. Jake and Rett getting the food ready to eat. All the food and everyone enjoying the food! Marta and Lhin's first Thanksgiving in the U.S. Tean loved the baby. When my sister was holding her, Tean kept following her around so he could see the baby. After Thanksgiving with my family, we went down to Provo to see Jake's family. On the way down Tean fell asleep and when he woke up he had this awesome hairdo.

Rocking Horse

Last Christmas, we got Tean a rocking horse. A couple of months ago, he finally started to really like to ride it. He'll even say, "Ye Haw!" Isn't that the cutest little boy ever?

Halloween

I'm finally posting pictures of Halloween. On the 30th I took Tean over to trick-or-treating they had in the parking lot of Westwood Mall. Tean didn't want to keep his hat on at all. I went with a friend and her little girl. Tean saw the candy and insisted on having one so I had to keep a pack of Skittles in my pocket and give one every once in a while so he would keep going.
After that we went to trunk-or-treat with Jake's parent's ward. Once again, Tean insisted on having a piece of candy every once in a while. After that we took him to a few houses around us. Jake dressed up as a software pirate and I was the world wide web. Jake's cousin also came over to visit and play games with us. We had a great Halloween!

Tean Singing

I think this is adorable. Jake taught Tean this yesterday.

Carving Pumpkins

On Monday, some friends of ours in our ward invited us over to carve pumpkins. Here are our friends carving their pumpkins. And yes, unfortunately they are Ute fans, but we don't hold that against them :) Jake working hard taking out all the insides. Tean was trying to get in the middle of it all, and he loved the cookies that they had. The final product. Marta did the smiley face and Jake and I did the Frankenstein. (sorry about the picture quality. I forgot my camera and had to take pictures from my phone.)

BYU - SDSU game

I haven't put any pictures of any BYU games this year, so I thought I'd put a few up that I took at the SDSU game. At the beginning of the game, Jake was walking up to our seats, and a guy reached out and grabbed his arm. It was LaVell Edwards! LaVell said to him, "Hey, you look like you could have played football for me." Jake said, "No, I would have loved to, but you were before my time." And LaVell said, "Now, don't call me old!" Jake just laughed and kept walking. Even though BYU hasn't had that great of a year, we still love going down!

Watch What You Say

During conference, Tean was throwing a ball and bouncing it off a chair and the ball went across the room. As he was going to get it, he fell and said "dang it!" It was so funny! He kept doing it and we got it on video. Now we really need to watch what we say around Tean, because he is repeating everything we say!

Tean Speaking Spanish

Tean loves to count to three in Spanish and then fall down, or "jump" down off of something.

Eastern Idaho State Fair

A few weeks ago, we went to the Eastern Idaho State Fair. We had a lot of fun! We saw lots of different animals. Tean loved most of the animals, but he was afraid of getting close to the cows and sheep. He was okay touching the animals in the petting zoo and loved to feed the goats there. For some reason, Tean didn't like being on the tractor. We even saw a long jump show for dogs. I think Tean's favorite part of the fair was eating the honey butter for the tiger ears.

Yellowstone

A few weeks ago Tean, Marta (our foreign exchange student), and I went to Yellowstone with Jake's parents. Unfortunately, Jake couldn't come because he was in Pennsylvania working. I had picked up Marta late the night before and early the next morning we were on our way up to Yellowstone. We first went to Old Faithful. It was really cool looking! After we walked around and saw some geysers that were around Old Faithful. Tean insisted on walking all by himself. There were so many pretty things there to see. Some of them seemed out of this world, like they belonged on Mars or something. Here is Tean reading a sign (or trying to fall into one of the geysers!) We saw some antelope and some buffalo. This buffalo walked right past our car as we were driving. It was so pretty. I hadn't been to Yellowstone in a long time. I don't remember very much of it. I had forgotten how amazing it is! I think Tean's favorite part of the trip were the rocks. He thought they were fascinating. This is us with our foreign exchange student. She is from Spain. We camped one night in Yellowstone. I think it was a pretty big culture shock to her. Tean just loved being able to be outside all the time. Tean was exhausted by the time we were through!
