Cute Little Story

We ran to Costco Friday night with all of the kiddos after having dinner. Hyrum is getting to a point where we will allow him to walk freely in the stores instead of having him sit in the basket. Funny enough some of the baskets try to keep his little legs capture because he is such a big boy.

Any way, as we all know everybody is starting to put out their christmas decor in stores. Well, as we are walking through Costco, Hyrum is yelliing 'ALVIN!" (alvin and the chipmunks) I just kept wondering why he kept calling for Alvin. We haven't watched that movie in a while, and I was looking around to see if there was a poster or display or something with Alvin and the Chipmunks on it.. Then once we got to a certain area of Costco, Hyrum turns to go away from us and of course I call him to come back and stay by us.. When he starts yelling for Alvin again I finally put it all together..

Hyrum went up to a lit christmas tree on display and pointed to it and yelled again for Alvin. In the first Alvin and the Chipmunks movie the Chimpunks are living in a tree that get cut down and taken to an office building where it is decorated for and displayed in the lobby for Christmas. Christmas Tree.

Thats where the movie gets started. The Chipmunks leave the Christmas tree and jump into Daves fruit and muffin basket that he is taking home.

Hyrum was calling for Alvin, Simon and Theodore to come out of the Christmas tree.. :)

!HELP!

One morning this last week I was cleaning around the house and getting things ready for the day as usual. I heard Hyrum yelling his "help' cry so I went into his bedroom to investigate only to find him in the corner of his closet burried in a pile of toys..

He was stuck. He decided that being burried in a pile of toys wasn't so bad afterall and decided to stay and play for a little bit. :)

Love Him!

We Did the Puyallup

So, Ricky and I decided to be crazy adventurous and took 4 kids to the Puyallup fair. We ended up being there way longer than we had planned but everybody enjoyed themselves.

We rode lots of rides. The fair had plenty of rides for Hyrums height to ride. He was happy and excited about that. I didn't get too many pictures of everybody. Most of them are of Hyrum. We let the 3older kids (Elijah, Marvin and Tabitha) run off on their own for 30min to ride a few rides while Ricky and I took Hyrum on some rides.

Hyrum went on this slide about 3 times and had a huge smile on his face each time.

Tabi even had a lot of fun. :)

Hyrums first 'carnival' ride. He just chilled.

This smile was Hyrums reaction to the egg laying Chicken who happened to be cleaning it's feathers at the time. He found it rather runny.

Hyrum again was the center of attention and found himself to be quite popular in the 'lunch room.' We got him a bubble blowing gun to play with while riding around in his stroller. He brought it out at lunch time and all of these kids gathered round him to pop the bubbles while he shot them out.

It was an expensive trip to the fair. Ricky baught 4 burgers and 3 baskets of french fries for him and the kids to have for lunch and the grand total came to an amazing $62.50...  !?
