1st Birthday!

We had Gray's 1st b-day party with family a week before his actual birthday.  The theme was a monster party and was very fitting for our little monster :) I was proud that my cake actually turned out how I imagined it! It was so worth the look on his face when he saw it.  He soaked up all the attention and loved every second of it.

We really can't imagine life without this boy! He keeps us on our toes and is so much fun. 

He also got his first haircut by Aunt Alise! I may have shed a tear as I watched him transform from a baby to a toddler...

(this happened before his party)

Halloween/First heli ride

Few more pics from October...

Halloween was the last "first" holiday for Grayson! So crazy. Which means he wasn't quite sure what this funny green bucket was for ;) He loves putting EVERYTHING on his head these days!

I was looking through some pictures of Gray on my phone and this little guy wanting to see too! He was quite amused with himself!

 Living up these nice days at the park. Grayson loves to "walk" Bella. 

 First helicopter ride! We weren't sure about all the noise taking off, but he surprisingly left his ear muffs on and did really great.

 Cousin, Berkley's, blessing day. Weird to think these two will be in the same grade year!

 Visiting Great-Grandpa Long 

This kid makes me happy :)

 Poor Bella girl tore her ACL at some point (likely from running the mountains in Moab).. She has been hopping around for too long so surgery was our best option. Everything went really well though! Here she is just before going under:

 First pumpkin carving. Naturally the pumpkin should be tasted before anything else..

 You bet we went trick-or-treating too! That sucker lasted him the entire time (and got ALL over Matt, haha). And now we have candy to last another year.
