Thanksgiving sledding

We had such a great time with all Cort's family over for Thanksgiving. Our favorite part was the sledding.

Jack and Kai'le

Jack loves to play in the snow- and eat it too!

My favorite picture of the day. Jack and Brodee in their matching snow suits.

Living Quarter

It is always a good day when a trailer is finished and gets picked up. Cort has been working on this living quarter horse trailer at our house for the past three months. He has worked so hard on it and it turned out amazing! The owner was really impressed with Cort's skills and really liked how it turned out. He gave Cort the chance to build the nicest living quarter he has ever done with hard wood trim and the works.

My favorite was the hard wood paneled walls and ceiling

Trick or Treat

Halloween finally came! Jack has been so excited to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle for the past two months. I bought his costume and had to hide it until Halloween so he didn't wear it out. Hank decided with a little persuasion to be a baby turtle to match Jack. They were so fun to take Trick or Treating and got WAY too much candy and junk!
TMNT- Turtles in a half shell- Turtle Power!

Jack- I mean Michelangelo.

Hank the turtle

Going to our first house.

Before we went trick or treating we went to our wards trunk or treat. This is Jack's little friend Carlee the candy corn and her sister Avery.

Hank turns 2!

Hank and his pony cake. He has been telling me for a few months that he wanted a horsey birthday cake so that is what he got!

Opening presents- All Hank wanted was a horsey and footballs. He has quite the obsession especially with anything to do with a horse.


All the families at the party. Our house got really small really fast. Time to finish the basement!

Hank got a new pony and saddle for his birthday! Her name is Suzy.

Hitting the pony pinata.

Hank even made the Big J's marquee!

Hank's second birthday party- on his real birthday! We like to party and turn a birthday into a birthmonth around here.

The worst thing about turning two... SHOTS! No fun!

The stats are in:

Weight: 29.6 pounds/ 60th %

Height 34 inches/ 75th %

We love this little guy so much and are so happy he is a part of our family. His big brown eyes can about melt your heart. He has got such a sweet little personality and eats, sleeps, and breathes horses. He is constantly playing with his horses, trailers, ropes, and cows. If he isn't talking about or playing with horses he is playing with any ball. He loves football and basketball. We got lucky with Hank because he pretty much potty trained himself. At about 20 months he wouldn't poop in his diaper and would always go in the toilet. Then when he turned 24 months we had a bucket of candy in the cupboard from Halloween so we told Jack they could both have a piece of candy if Hank peed in the toilet. So Jack asked Hank if he wanted to go have a pee party about every five minutes and he caught on really quick! So thanks to Jack Hank got potty trained! Jack and Hank get along so well (most of the time) and are such good "buddies" we love you Hankers!

Grandma and Grandpa Cowman

We try to make it to Pocatello a few times a month to visit Grandma and Grandpa Cowman or as the boys call them Double G (Great Grandparents). My Grandma sure loves her great grandboys and they sure love her!

Grandpa has been in the Veterans Assisted Living Center for a few years.

Halloween Activities

October is the greatest month! I love how the leaves are falling and the air is getting cooler. I also love the fun family activities we do this time of year. We went to the pumpkin patch and got pulled by the tractor around the patch to find the perfect pumpkins.

Jack found the pumpkin he wants.

Hank wanted all the baby pumpkins.

Granny and Pa with all five of their grandboys!

It is getting more and more difficult to get a picture with all five of them smiling or even looking at the camera- but they are all sure cute!

And making spooky halloween houses at Granny's. We have been dressing up in all of Granny's play clothes getting ready for the big Trick or Treat day!

And then of course we carved the pumpkins to put on our porch. The boys dug right in and had a great time!

Tis the season to dress up!

My mom has a killer dress up room. With every dress up costume you can think of these boys keep entertained for hours! This is how they all came out this time.

And of course they want to go get ice cream with their costumes on!

We even dress up to go shopping at the mall! Funny boys!

Crazy Boys!

These boys are so crazy when they are together! They have so much fun.

Wyatt's crazy face

Crazy man Sawyer

Jack can pull some pretty funny faces with his stretchy skin.

Hank is just plain crazy!

And Benny Boo just likes to eat anything that is in sight- aren't petunias poisonous?

And Granny and Pa's backyard is perfect for these crazy kids to run around and play in. What a bunch of monkeys!
