200th POST!!!
We're keeping busy. So here's a quick recap and some photos of what we've been up to.
When we're working in the basement he gets to play with the Star Wars toys. It makes being down there with us special for him.
Always making a mess with his toys.
We taught Dexter how to make a blanket cape. Sometimes I forget things that are awesome, which need to be taught. He loves it, and loves to make it "fly." He does this by either running or jumping.

Kyle had Columbus Day off so we headed to a straw maze. A lot of things were wet from rain the night before so it was a bit sad. But we still had fun. Although it was a little more stressful because in the maze when Kyle got distracted figuring out or going in secret rooms. Dex would just run off...which is hard for a mom with a baby to keep up with. Thankfully he never got lost in there, but a few times were close.

| Dexter wanted to hold her, and she was happy. So I thought it was a cute pic op. |
We've been pulling out newborn toys again. Usually though it's Dexter who wants to play with them the most. I just figure he's teaching her how to do it.
We try and go to storytimes. The first time he lasted 20 minutes. The second time was like 5. Oh well, but he likes books and that is what matters.

At the beginning of October it got cold. This would be snow that was coming down. It was hard, but thankfully did not stick. Later that week the mountains and foothills did get snow that stuck around. Too soon! It still is pretty chilly in the mornings, and cool even in the afternoons.
Audrey, Tyler and Sam came and visited us for General Conference weekend. They were the first Hansens (& White) to see our new house. It fit the three guests comfortably.
While the boys were at priesthood and got their treat after. Us girls had our own girl's night...with 2 kids. So while it was fun to get out and see the clothes. I think Audrey and Sam learned how not fun it is to go shopping with a 2 year old who was close to bedtime. But it was fun to look at the stores and get our own frozen yogurt.

While my mom was here to help me with the baby in August, she bought Dexter a year pass to the local children's museum. So it was a chilly, rainy fall day so I took him there. It definitely tired him out, and he had so much fun.

On this day we were all pretty tired. I didn't get as much accomplished around the house, but I prefer the great memory of us all snuggling on the couch.

Also, one of the days the kids were actually dressed. And dressed cute, along with acting cute with each other. So I grabbed the camera out to take an impromptu photo shoot.
