Easton is 2!!

This post is about a month late, I just could never get around to doing it.  Anyway, I can't believe my baby is 2!  He is so much fun to have around.  He is talking like crazy.  He loves to sing Twinkle Little Star and I am a Child of God.  We've also got him saying 'I workout', its from a song and it's pretty funny when he says it.  His favorite thing is still his blankets which he calls his 'bundies'.  He loves playing with cars and books and even the occasional barbie (he has sisters so I guess we had to expect it).  He loves his sisters and always wants to play with them.  Lately he has been into Shrek and always wants to watch it.  He also likes monsters, and meow meows (cats).  His nickname is still Beaston because he is into everything and is very destructive.  He is definitely in his terrible twos.  He can throw a tantrum that I have never seen my girls throw.  He likes to get his way.  We took him out of his crib and now he sleeps with mom and dad.  Naps are also a chore to get him to take.  He is always on the go and doesn't want to miss a minute of anything.  I'm 100% positive he is my last baby.  I am so exhausted all day because he keeps me so busy.  It is fun to have a boy though, and we love him so much.

 We had a small birthday party for him on November 6 which is Porter's birthday.  I think it is kind of fun that their birthdays are only a day apart.  I'm not exactly sure what Porter thinks about that, but I think he likes it too.

Easton got a lot of really fun birthday presents and had fun with them all.

 His birthday was monkey themed because he basically is a monkey with as much climbing and mischief he gets into.  I made the monkey birthday cake, which was a little harder than I thought it was going to be but I think it turned out alright.

 Easton liked blowing out his candles but didn't really enjoy eating the cake.  He is the pickiest eater and doesn't really enjoy cake and ice cream.  He is more of a protein eater and not much of a sweet eater like most kids are.  At least he tried some of it, which surprised me.

 This picture was a little bit after everyone left.  He was exhausted and fell right to sleep.  I think he had a pretty good day.

Halloween

I don't think I like Halloween on a Monday.  It seemed like it went by so fast.  The girls got out of school at 4:00 and we had to hurry home and get them dressed in their costumes.  The schools don't let the kids wear costumes except Brynlie was able to put hers on for her class party and Rylie's class had pajama and crazy hair day.   So, we hurry to get ready to leave to go to my parents house.  I like the kids to experience real trick or treating by going house to house and my parents' neighborhood is the best place for that.  Our wards trunk or treat was at 7:00 so we had to hurry and eat dinner and take the kids around the block.  Jared and Mindi were there and the kids always love to play with Jared.  Easton had a blast going from door to door.  At the beginning we had to tell him to hurry because the other kids were running and leaving him behind.  Once he realized that he got candy at the doors he was off and running.  He kept telling himself  "Hurry, buddy, hurry."  Which is what we were saying to him at the beginning.  The kids were having so much fun that I felt bad that we had to leave.  We then went to our wards trunk or treat and the kids got a ton of candy.  Then we went to a scary decorated house that really goes all out for Halloween and they have people that hide and jump out and scare you.  Then we went to one of Porter's friends houses to visit for a few minutes.  Finally we got the kids home and in bed because they had school in the morning.  It was a really rushed Halloween but the kids had fun and I think we got to do everything that we wanted to do.
