Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a great Thanksgiving! We went over to our friends, The Tonks, house and ate a great dinner and had a great evening with 3 other couples from our ward. Thatcher loved eating his Turkey and playing with his friends Lacey and Ian.

PLEEEEAAASE?

We taught Thatcher how to say "please" when he wants something and it is a wonderful escape from his usual grunt that he mastered. So now he says please whenever he wants anything, the problem is, we sometimes do not understand what he wants! So yesterday we were in the car getting ready to come home from church when Thatcher starts saying, "Plea, Pleeeea" (which is his way of saying, please) We were looking all around and trying to figure out what he wants and I said, "Drink?" and his eyes lit up and he said, "Dri"!! Todd took him inside and got him a drink. Poor kid was so thirsty! He was so relieved after knowing that he actually communicated what he wanted with us! It was really cute.

Thatcher can now say a large variety of words and the more he plays with his friends Jaxon and Lacey the more he learns to say. It is great!

Julie and Josh come to Tucson!

Our good friends Julie and Josh and thier cute little daughter Lili came to visit us in Tucson this last weekend! We knew them in our Provo BYU ward. It was great to see them and see Lili for the first time! They now live in Hawaii and so we now have a GREAT excuse to visit Hawaii!

Grandma and Grandpa Bishop Visit

Thatcher hasn't seen Grandpa Bishop in a long time. Here is a game they played with an
italian-style cap of Grandpa's.


Thatcher's turn to wear the hat. He's almost Italian like his father thinks that he is...

Taggart slept constantly, like a good little baby (all of our kids are good little kids). So Grandma kisses him goodbye while he sleeps in his favorite place...his swing!!

Sleepy Boy...

Taggart fell asleep with me in bed for about an hour or so this morning after he ate. We wrap our kids up in a burrito when they are infants so they can sleep better, so I was surprised when I came back into the bedroom after getting Thatcher up to find Taggart sleeping like this with his arms out. I think it is so cute, he is already out growing the burrito wrap!

Taggart's Blessing

On Sunday November 5th Taggart was blessed. It was a beautiful blessing and he looked so cute in his blessing outfit!

Prices come to Visit!

Jessica, Josh and Caden price drove from Utah to see us here in Arizona for Taggart's baby blessing. It was really fun having them here. We went to the park with the boys and they had a blast feeding the ducks and playing on the playground.

Halloween!

Here are Thatcher and Todd on Halloween night just before they ventured out for Trick-or-Treating. Thatcher had a great time and got the hang of going door to door asking for candy!

Halloween Carnival!

On Friday we went to our wards Halloween carnival and it was a blast! Thatcher loved dressing up and being in his costum. He also loved watching all the other people in their costums. He got his face painted, went through the spook alley, tossed some bean bags and ate some donuts on a string. It was all in all a great time!

Our little "Mr. Incredible" or "The Dash" take your pick!
