Tunk-or-Treating

We went trunk-or-treating over at the ward and it was HUGE. the entire parking lot was full of cars to go trick-or-treating at (there are three wards that go to the church and we think that all three were there.) There were so many cars, it took us over an hour just to go through the entire parking lot. Surprisingly, everybody from all three wards knew Rhett, and everybody loves him.

He was so cute in his penguin costume, he even waddled like a penguin. One of his favorite movies is Happy Feet (he loves the music), so he loved being a penguin, and he kept the costume on the entire time (a lot better than the constant tugging of last year.) He loved going up to a person and yealling at the top of his lungs TRICK-OR-TREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAT (he would keep saying treat until somebody gave him candy.) For being such a little guy, he made his presence known.

It was so much fun, and Rhett really liked it because it hit high on his "Ha" meter. If we want to know if Rhett is having fun, we ask, and he replies "Ha!" If he is having a lot of fun he replies "Ha! Ha!" After trunk-or-treating, he replied "Ha! Ha! Ha!" He had so much fun he didn't want to leave, and honestly we were having so much fun we didn't want to leave either. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Carving Pumpkins

Grandma Butler gave us a pumpkin last time we went and visited them and we decided to carve it. Rhett loved it and actually carved the entire pumpkin (with a little help from daddy). After we carved out a piece, he loved poking it out. He also did a pretty good job using the pumpkin knife on his own to cut - the cuts just weren't very straight - that's why I helped. Not too bad for a two year old!

Tracing

My parents gave him a bunch of dinosaur tracing templates. He started using them today. They look nothing like a dinosaur when he is done, but at least he is trying and staying within the templates!

Rhett's first post

Check out "Mahjong"

(Rhett posted this all by himself on Saria's phone. We just had to leave it up. We don't know how he did it, but he did it all by himself.)

Playing at the playground

Playing at the playground at Burger King

Rhett Sleeping

This is how Rhett fell asleep for his nap yesterday. Crazy kid.

Playing at the park

Rhett and I went to the park today. He rode his tricycle, played on the playground and went down the slide. He loved it!

At the park

We went to the park recently and Rhett had a blast. We went for a walk, and you could tell he had a bad case of the wiggles, so we headed over to the play ground. The fact that we were at Sunset park in Vegas -and watching airplanes land every few minutes (he's obsessed with "airpane's") couldn't control the wiggles.

He would not go down the slide unless he could sit on Saria's lap. Then suddenly it hit him how much fun slides were. Saria could barely keep up with him, finally she just let him go down alone. He spent the next hour or so going down the slide and running to climb up so he could go down again.

Bad boy

Rhett thought he was such a bad boy that he put himself in the corner. Funny thing is, we've never put him in the corner before.

Bowling

We went bowling with work and Rhett loved it (especially tyre part of rolling dainty balls - his favorite word and toy is "ball")

Barbies for boys?

How every mom wants to find their baby boy.... This toy is one of the least boy things Rhett enjoys. Makes sense though. His daddy liked playing with it so much when we went to visit the Bleuels, Monica gave this to John as a prank birthday gift. In Rhett's defense any kid would find a toy that flies cool, especially if that kid is obsessed with "airpanes"!

New chair

We bought a new kiddy chair while we were in Utah over the 4th of July so he could watch the parade and fireworks sitting in a chair like everybody else. He loved it so much that he carried it around the store. then back in Vegas he still loves sitting in his chair and watch tv.

Putting Rhett to work

He wanted to help push the shopping cart. I live the one with him looking at the camera and smiling. Hasn't anybody told rhus kid yet that hard work like this should not be fun? Nope! And we want to keep it that way. He loves to help cook and clean too! Lucky us!

At Lake Mead beach

I finally got a Saturday off, so me, Saria and Rhett went to the lake. He enjoyed floating around, but he went crazy over his favorite thing in the whole world -throwing dirt and rocks! (which he did for most of the time we were there.

Snowbird

Rhett and I flew up to Utah to go to Snowbird. He loved running around as we waited for our delayed flight, and then he crashed hard on the plane and slept the whole way there.

At Snowbird he swam, played pingpong (he stood on the table, held the paddle and I held his arm and helped him hit the ball), took a walk and played with candy bags, slam dunked the basketball and played shuffle board.

Wagon uses

Rhett's wagon is good for more than taking rides...

Picnic at the park

When John works on Saturdays, Rhett and I meet him at the park for lunch to have a picnic and play/run around.

Windy Walk

So Rhett, Ginger and I went for a walk today and it was windy! In Vegas when it's windy it's not a breeze but full blow-over-garbage-cans windy.

Airplane ride

Rhett and I flew to Salt Lake City last Saturday to participate in a Easter Egg hunt that my in-laws host every year for the grand kids. Rhett being the only cousin on that side not locate in or near the valley had to fly in not only for the event, but also the opportunity to see his cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents he had to move away from a couple of months ago. I think Rhett enjoyed his window seat...
