Tyler still did not want to wear his football jersey tonight, but he at least had a shirt on that looked like a jersey. He finally let us paint under his eyes and he did wear the helmet for a few minutes. We went trick-or-treating with Brooke and Payton and came home with lots of candy. He dumped it all out and had to line it up so he could see what he had.
Tyler had a great time carving pumpkins Monday night. He would not touch the inside of the pumpkin at all and his favorite part was, of course, lighting the candle once we were done.
Jimmy and I had a great time 'kidnapping' Bert yesterday! Thanks to the help of Garrett and Arien, he was safely returned. You can read all about it on Brooke's blog:

I decided that Jason needed a hair cut, so I got out the scissors and started trimming the top. You could see lines where I was cutting, so I got the clippers instead. I asked Jimmy SEVERAL times which number guard to use and if a 1 would be too short. He assured me that it would be fine, so I proceeded. I freaked out after making the first cut down the middle of Jason's head!!! It was WAY too SHORT!!! I was so mad that Jimmy told me a 1 would be okay and I wanted to cry. I had to do the rest of his head since I started right in the middle. I was still freaking out until I went next door to Jen's house and she assured me that it looked okay and would grow back soon. It really does look okay, but I just did not want it that short. Oh well, now we know what a 1 looks like:-) (and I have to admit that if you look really close in these pictures and the ones a couple of posts ago, you can hardly tell a difference).
We had our ward Halloween party today and Cori and Blaine Bleshe came with us. Tyler absolutly refused to put on his cosutme, so he went as a 2 year old brat! Jason didn't have much choice in the matter, so he was dressed as a Bronco football player. Tyler was not overly excited about dressing up several weeks ago when we discussed costumes, so I kept it low key and decided on football players for both boys. The only thing Tyler would have had to put on for his costume was a jersey, but he just would not do it. We will see if he will on Halloween for some candy!! Blaine on the other hand, was so excited to wear his costume! He was a transformer. We had a great time painting pumpkins, decorating cookies and cupcakes and playing bingo.
Jason thinks it is so much fun to pull himself up in his crib. He will either get up on his knees or his feet and just smile and laugh. He can roll over, but doesn't and he hasn't started to crawl yet, but he does love to sit up. He is starting to really lunge for things, so it may not be long before he figures out how to crawl.
I am not sure who came up with the idea, but Tyler sure thought it was fun to give Jason a ride on his 4-wheeler!
Jason loves to take baths! He splashes and gets me all wet. He also loves to stand up outside the bathtub while the water is running. These pictures are of Aunt Tiffy giving him a bath.
Jen and I went to the park last week and took some pictures of Jason and Tyler. Tyler did not want to take pictures at first, but he loved it by the time we were done.
We went to Pack Farms yesterday to pick out pumpkins! It was so much fun - the kids had a great time. Tyler was able to go through a hay maze and then he walked all around the pumpkin patch to find the biggest pumpkin he possibly could! Tyler's favorite part was sitting on an old tractor. They had horses there that Tyler liked to touch, but he was not very thrilled about riding one :-)
