Last weekend I decided to take the boys to the beach (Lincoln City of course!) for a couple days. After a fantastic drive there (sarcasm included...traffic was horrible!) I got there with Luke and joined my mom, siblings, Adrian, Jonathan, and our friend Jenn and her kids. It was such a relaxing weekend. We stayed up late talking and joking. We hit up the outlet stores and I couldn't seem to leave well enough alone:) A nice lunch at Pier 101 with my ladies and then off to the house to get the kids and take them to Regatta Park, only one of the coolest parks in the world! It basically looks like a castle and the kids would have stayed hours and hours if we let them. Jonathan was having a hard time not being able to run off with all the other kids. Too cute! Here are some of the best pics:

Just some random days in our life...
We haven't really been doing anything all that interesting lately, but I have caught a few of our moments of randomness in pictures so here goes!
Jonathan's favorite place to hide out is under the table. He wedges his way under there and then sits on the bar underneath like he is riding a horse. It is so funny! I crack up every time:)

Jonathan's 1st Birthday Party/Halloween!
The remainder of the weekend was spent trying to keep my boys from consuming all of their candy in one sitting. Happy Halloween:))

Happy Birthday Jonathan!
At one year old here are Jonathan's stats:
Weight- 24 lbs. 7 oz. (tripled his birth weight of 8 lbs. 3 oz.!)
Length- 32 inches
Head- 47 cm
Jonathan is walking all over the place and in the last few days has really started making it more of a habit and choosing to walk over crawl. Makes it a lot harder to go anywhere now that he is so mobile and independent!
For the most part Jonathan's personality is pretty mild mannered, but if he wants something he sure has a shriek to use at his disposal;) That is the Weitzel in him!
Signs Jonathan uses most: dog, duck/bird, more, all done, eat, drink, milk, bye, brush teeth (of course!), and then he has a catch all gesture he uses for everything else and you have to use telepathy to figure it out!
Words: momma, dada, A-yan (Adrian), uke (Luke), og (dog), duck, buh (bird), ana (banana), pumpk (pumpkin), yeh (yes), uh (no), bye, and a variety of other sounds I don't know if I will ever figure out!
He is weaned off the bottle completely and he eats everything we do now--love not having to buy different foods and formula...now if only I could get rid of the diapers? Soon enough;) I have been working on the whole sleeping thing and he is finally going to sleep on his own in his crib after a few minutes of crying, better every night. I really want to get rid of the stinking pacifier since they keep disappearing (I think I have finally figured out that he likes to throw stuff in the garbage...maybe they have gone the way of the dump?). I am waiting until after the plane trip to CA after Thanksgiving and then it will disappear foreva!
Here is to another fun and adventurous year!
Happy birthday my little guy! The fun continues tomorrow with the par-tay and halloween festivities:)

FHE Group Pumpkin Carving Contest
For about a year (I think?) we have been getting together on Monday nights with some of our friends for doing Family Home Evening (FHE). It has been a lot of fun! Three of the four families had babies in the last year so as they have gotten more mobile the group has gotten a little more rowdy. We recently decided to only get together as a group twice a month and do our own FHE on the off week. This month we hosted both nights. The first one we did a lesson on service. This week we had a pumpkin carving contest. It was soooo much fun! It was cracking me up how seriously some of the dads were taking it...one dad even had a scalpel for the finer cuts! Here are some pictures of our masterpieces:

Oregon Hill Pumpkin Festival
Last Saturday we headed over to the Oregon Hill Pumpkin Festival over in Yankton. We went last year, but I was 9 mo pregnant and don't remember having a good time! This time we were able to go on the free (love it!) hay ride which I thought was pretty lame since you just go in a huge circle, but the boys thought it was the best thing ever. We spent some time after that picking out the best pumpkins and we each got ourselves big old pumpkins! When we got home Adrian and Luke carved theirs, but we saved the other 3 for later...
