Caramel Apples

A week and a half ago we had some friends over to make caramel apples. I had gotten a recipe to make homemade caramel, and it turned out very hard. The apples looked delicious but we couldn't hardly eat them. So this last Sunday I decided to try again. This time they turned out delicious. We had the Johnson's and the Olligschlager's over to help us.

Here are our beautiful apples. They were so delicious that Quinn and I made a few more of them the next night.

Here's Reggie playing with dad so that I could keep things going in the kitchen. It was a little past his bed time but he still had fun. I honestly think he was a little bummed when he got to eat crackers when everyone else was eating caramel apples. :(

This is Brigitte and Emily with their little boys, Noah and Lincoln.

Here is Owen enjoying his treat. I love it when kids eat treats and they leave the evidence all over their face.

Halloween

Okay, so I am a little late on my posting. We have been so busy that I haven't been posting much. So I am going to try to do a little catch up. Reggie and I went back to Baker for the week of Halloween. Unfortunately, we didn't take a whole lot of pictures but here are some pictures from before we left.



Reggie loved the suitcase.


He would climb in, empty some things out and then...


climb out. He did this over and over again, it was so funny to see.


Here we are carving our pumpkin. Reggie loved playing in the pumpkin guts.





A bath was a must after the pumpkin carving, which didn't upset Reggie, he loves his bath time.



Our final product.



Here we are getting ready to go to our ward Halloween party. Reggie was a monkey and Quinn was Indiana Jones.







Quinn is getting ready to start the pie eating contest.





Gross, Quinn ate the pie so fast, but I think he got a lot up his nose too! Yuck! They didn't really name a winner for the contest, there was 2 or 3 of the guys that were really close.


Well, that's it for our Halloween festivities, too bad it's almost Thanks Giving before I shared them with you all.

Learning to Walk



Here is a quick video of Reggie walking. I mostly just wanted to post this so that our families could see the difference from just last week. He still wobbles a lot but he's getting there. It's so fun to see him learn and grow :)
