he can't get enough

There were these gimongous puddles in the parking lot of our complex, and i know how much Kroten LOVES water, so i let him go stomping. It is so fun to see him fascinated by everything in the world. I love his curiosity. He kept bending over trying to grab whatever was in the reflection.

His love for puddles he got from me, his love for soda is deffinitly his daddy's genes.(don't ask why he is carrying around an empty soda bottle I don't know the answer.)








He wouldnt be a boy if he didnt have dirt on his face, and I wouldnt be a mom if that wasnt bothering me right now.


You can't really see it, but he was very wet.

City-ness.

(Editor note: Sorry that some of these and the golden gate pictures are edited and some are not. It is so hard to find time to edit photos and post them. There is so much to be done. This is going to be my new years resolution for 2010, I will not post any pictures without first editing them. Someone please remind me.)

Oh how I love the city. Especially san fransisco. The food, the diversity, the shopping, the food, the views, the people, the bums (not so much) and the food. I LOVED IT.

Jared served his mission for our church in san fransisco, so he gave us the grand tour. I loved every minute of our trip. I wanna go back.

Enjoy!

We were in the city on haloween. I loved having Kroten in his costume.
1. becuase he was so cute, I got to enjoy it all day.
and
2. all the people said "AHHHhhh" all day long.

Jared and Mr. Kroten sitting on a trolly.



Wait, I think I may have misunderstood you, did you say chocolate or pure extacy wraped in a little bit of gold foil? I think you might of said HEAVEN.

Karly is one of those follower people that fell in love with MJ after he died. ACK!! What a nerd!


Ummm, yuck.


DOUBLE YUCK!


"YUCKY YUCKY" is what I would normally say when kroten tries to put something yucky in his mouth.He is deffinitly Jared's son.

We drove up to coit tower at night. too bad they need to trim back the bushes. you can't see the city like your supposed too.


Don't hate me becuase my kids wears a leash!
As we were about 30 minutes from the city, my dad tells us of the dream that he had the night before. He said that we were all looking at something and when we turned around, KROTEN WAS GONE!!! he said that a bum had kidnapped Kroten. I insisted we pull over IMEDEATLY at the target and get a baby leash. It was a heavensend, becuase Kroten insists on walking everywhere. We named the doggy fransisco, in memorey of our great trip. It is now one of kroten's favorite pals.



a little bit of an odd shot, but i LOVE it.

MMM. Origianal SF sourdough bread.


Jared and I in front of blondies pizza (if you didnt figure that one out already) This was one of Jared's favorite places to eat while on his mission. IT WAS YUMMY!



And last but deffinitly not least,
my favorite part of the trip.... drumroll please...
a three story oldnavy with 50% off all clearence.
(yes I did wear my haloween hat in the city. Everyone loved it.)

1.7 miles of gold.

Its more red than gold, but I am not really sure how it got its name,

the golden gate bridge.

Regardless of its history, we walked across it. All 1.7 miles. It was so much fun. This was the first thing we did on our trip to San Fran. More city-ness later, but for now it is all cool historical really really really big bridge-ness. ENJOY!

the long awaited HALOWEEN post

Again, I am super behind, but for all your sakes (cause I know your dying for this) here is the long awaited haloween post. {actually I am posting this now, cause soon haloween will be old news. But it is nice to beleive I have a fan base that is sitting at the edge of their chairs, waiting for me to post!}

We spent haloween in San fransisco. It was an awsome trip, and I will post more about that later, but for now haloween night will do.


Kroten was an elephant, Jared was a garbage man, and I was a pumpkin. Incase you are wondering if I have gained 110 pounds, I have not, this dress was just extreamly unflattering and pooffy.






We went trick or treating. It was so warm in california. I think Kroten started to get the hang of it by the end. He was so cute.

He loved carrying his bag. toward the end, I could tell it was getting a little heavy, but he still insisted on carrying it. Thank gramma for making the bag, it is going to last forever. HE LOVES IT.



He never said trick or treat, but he loved going to the doors. If the people handed him the candy instead of in his bag, he would hand it back. I dont think he understood that what they were handing him was yummy.




Then we went to the fire station. They had it all set up with fun activitys. He was a little young for it, but it was still fun.



Kroten getting below the smoke and crawling to safety.


I think he was scared of the dog.




Aunt Karly and Kroten on the fire truck.

I tried desperately, and failed miserably, to get a self portrait...


So I just had someone else take it. Beautiful!

Nuff' said.

Carousel

(Editors note: I have had no time and no internet so I am WAY behind on posting, therefore, you get the throw up posting effect for the next week or so.)

A few weekends ago, Jared, Kroten and I drove up to see Sam and Josh. I took some photos of them, Ill post that later. We had an awsome time.

In there adorable little town, there is a carousel and it was so cool. Kroten wasnt sure what to think about it, but he didnt cry. He had the same look on his face for the whole ride. He cracks me up.

Anywho, enjoy the photo frenzie, cause there are lots of them.


The tokens to get on the ride. SO NEAT.


Kroten was so excited to get on. This was in line before getting on. He wasnt so sure about it once it started.




Sammy J and josh on there stalions.


Sam insisted on riding the unicorn.




Don't make fun of Josh for riding the carousel, a man will do anything for his woman.

See, the same scared, kinda concerned look, the entire ride.





Jared even tried making him smile, but nothing would wipe the face off.



This was an awsome activity, something we will be doing lots of in the future.

and the winner is....

Remember the post about Jared's glasses. (thanks for all your votes.) WELL, Jared has made his selection and worn them for a while now. They look great. I personally think he is such a stud, but I am biased. You decide for your self.

Here is the winner...



And of course, Kroten had to be in the picture, he is a stud too.
