Prepare for picture overload. I love holidays! I especially love going to Saint George. Eric and my parents both have houses down there, so we have gone every year. We were able to go down for an entire week. Well I was always going to go down that long, but Eric was able to take time off of work so he was there the entire time! Yay for extra help!

 One of the projects this year was putting rocks in the flower beds. Q was in rock heaven and was climbing on the pile all the time.

 We stay at my parents house when we go, and this year they bought a wagon.... and gave everyone a selfie stick.

 The have a waterfall in the neighborhood that we walked to just so Q could throw rocks in it. Maybe I should just get him rocks for Christmas

 At Erics parents/Grandparents house he loved hiding behind this plant. Every time we went over. He would jump out and scare you. Or giggle incessantly while you looked for him.

 Pre Thanksgiving dinner. I thought the plates were adorable!!

 Q and Ellie having lunch together. They will best friends.

 Q learning to take a selfie. I am only teaching him the important things.

 Grandma Corbett and Audrey selfie.

 Q and mom Selfie

 Most Q and Ellie selfies. Audrey on Grandmas lap.

 One of the days we decided to drive up to snow. Because why not?

 It was SOOOOOOOO COLD! The wind was so high they closed the skiing resort.

 Also because it was so cold the snow was more like a hard rock of snow.

 Quick selfie before we all ran back inside the car. Eric, Q, Donald, Emma, Ellie and Me. Audrey was asleep in the car.

 SO COLD!

 More selfies.

 Like I said, hard rock of Ice.

 Back in the car trying to get warm.

 My parents bought Q a ricochett car in the San Jose house, and had another one delievered to the Saint George house. He LOVES this thing! His favorite is when it drives up someones leg.

 A boy and his Grandpa Corbett. So much love!

 The day finally came that the rock pile had to go away. Q had his own little shovel to help.

 Every time I see this photo I want to start singing "I ho, I ho, its off to work I go"

 Q's little Thanksgiving table. He decorated it with the pomegrante himself.

 After Thanksgiving we all made pies. I made a Chocolate Truffle Cheesecake. IT WAS AMAZING! It is so easy to make! I just need a reason to make it! Guess I need to go to more parties. Or start throwing them myself.

 These were all the pies. Not enough people to help eat them!

 I love when he falls asleep in the car like this. It is just so funny. Sadly the trip had to  come to an end. Sometimes I wish we could live in Saint George. I love my cousins and family that are down there and its so fun to spend time with them. But then I fly into Seattle and see all the beautiful lakes and green trees and I remember I would miss this too much.

At the Las Vegas Airport he decided he wanted to join a different family. This mom was reading a Frozen book to her daughter and he thought it was amazing. Silly kid.

Sleep: You wake up ever 3-4 hour
I Love...  being social! As long as you are part of the action and can see whats going on your are perfectly content. You love Quentin as well, and just like to watch him play. We also got Ellies bouncy chair out for you to play with and you love to jump in it. You always have the biggest smiles!
 s at night to eat a bottle. During the day you go to sleep about an hour after drinking your bottle. Sometimes its hard to get you to go to sleep and other times its really easy. Go figure.
I Hate... Tummy time, being left alone, the car (you cant see anyone in the car so you get really upset if someone sits back there with you, then you are happy) Waiting for a bottle. If you can see the bottle and it isn't in your mouth when you want it you turn into a crazy lady.
First: Christmas, Urgent Care visit, snow.
Other facts: Its fun to see the differences between you as a baby and Q. For one thing you are obsessed with your binkie and sucking on your fingers. You will put everything you can get your hands on in your mouth. Q NEVER did that. I think it was a saving grace for him. So we have to make sure you dont get things your not supposed to. Also you are always hungry. Sometimes you want to eat every 2 hours! and you get so sad when the bottle is gone.

This picture makes me laugh every time i see it. Perfect combination of shock and disgust.

 Family Pictures. One of my Favorites.

I cant believe that my little boy is 3 years old!! He is at such a fun age, he loves to play and learn new things.

Sleep: You were moved to a big boy bed this year! You love it and are really good about staying in your bed. You still have troubles sleeping through the night, but it seems mostly due to itching your skin. Stupid Eczema.
I Love... LEGOS. Oh man do you love your legos. You also like to watch Super Wings, Mickey Mouse Club House, Cars, Finding Nemo, Toy Story, Paw Patrol. Also you love going to the park and playing with your friends. You are so good with your Audrey and always make sure Dad kisses her goodbye in the morning.
I Hate...  Bedtime and time out.

This year for Halloween we had a Family Theme. Q was Peter Pan, Audrey was Tinker Bell. I was Wendy and Eric was Peter Pans shadow. I have yet to get a really great picture of all of us. Luckily Eric and Q love their costumes and with a little convincing I'm sure I can get them to dress up again!

 He was pretty excited to be at the Ward Trick or Treat. He had learned how to trick or treat at Dads work, so he was ready to do it again!

 Sad that this picture turned out blurry! We had a lot of fun! Even though I was struggling to keep up with him. I had back surgery the Friday before the party and was still recovering but I couldn't keep him from trick or treating!

 Q was SOOOOO excited to see 2 Batmans!!! He loves Batman.

 Peter Pan and part of his shadow. The ward party didn't allow masks so Eric couldn't have his entire costume on.

 

He wanted to be apart of the candy exchange

 Peter Pan has a rough life. He needed to catch up on his sleep before trick or treating at Dads work.

 After trick or treating we came home and carved a pumpkin. He wouldn't touch the guts for longest time. He just wanted to sit on my lap and watch. When we gave him a spoon though he finally got brave and started carving.

 Grandpa was on Audrey duty.

 While Eric carved the pumpkin, Quentin started painting another pumpkin.

 He takes the painting very serious. His favorite color was black... much like Batmans. :)

 Its Emmett from The Lego Movie!!

Proud Makers of the pumpkin. We got a ton of compliments on it!

 

Literally time is flying by!

Sleep: We are trying to get you on some sort of sleep schedule. We think everyone would be happier about this. So right now after you eat, about an hour later you take a nap, until it is time to eat again. Seems to be causing less anger on your part. We will see how long it lasts.
I Love... Talking to people. Also dont get in your way if you like what is on TV. You get very angry if someone turns you away from the TV, especially if it is Football. Also Grandma and Grandpa have a clock that you really like to watch to back and forth.
I Hate... laying down flat. You always want to be up and looking around so you try and do crunchs to see better.
First: You are starting to really talk and complain about things. It is so fun to listen to you discover your voice.
Other facts: You are still really small, but growing so the doctors are happy about that. You are very tolerant of Q getting in your face and hugging and kissing you. Also this month we started giving you 1 formula bottle a day and you dont seem to hate it! Always a positive.
