FOOD! + Halloween

Recently Ashton has been really interested in food. Whenever I would eat in front of him he would lean over and look really wantingly at the food I had. Sometimes I would even notice that he would make a chewing motion with his mouth as I ate. I never knew whether I should laugh because its so cute or feel bad because I was rubbing it in that I got real food. :) Either way, this was the face I got during meal times:)
This is a picture of Parker eating his dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets during the same meal. He was a little jealous that Ashton got his picture taken so I took one of him too. If you look at Ashton on the side you can notice that he's leaning way over at me still staring at my food.
When Ashton's mom is home she's started feeding him rice cereal. I haven't given him anything other than milk yet, mostly because I'm not sure if Kristi is regulating when he eats solid foods or not. Sometimes I watch her feed him though. Its really interesting because babies don't really know how to eat. Its strange to think about learning to eat. I'm such a natural now... :) Anyways. Its funny because he tries to chew the entire time the spoon is going in- which of course makes it harder for any food to actually make it in his mouth. Then he tries to grab the food and shove it in with his fingers but he doesn't always find his mouth. It's pretty funny. The result is this picture...
HALLOWEEN!
I really hadn't planned on doing anything for Halloween. I knew I'd be working that night so I just assumed I'd only do that and then go home. Hmmmm. let me give you a little background story first. As you may or may not know I started working as a driver at Papa Johns about a month ago. On my first day the boss had a boy named Sam train me. I thought he was cute but was way too scared to talk to him too much cause normally when I do something stupid comes out and then I just feel like an idiot around a cute boy for the rest the time we work together. Needless to say, I was not at all friendly during training or the first few days at work. After I started getting a little more comfortable around him we'd maybe smile at each other or I'd make a face at him or something. Either way, he was fun to work around and a welcome break to the older man without teeth that works there who is constantly over my shoulder and telling me what to do. After a while I started checking to see if Sam was there as soon as I got to work- he normally was:) The last couple days he worked with me I would try to get on any job he was doing during while we were both in the store. Well, last Saturday was Sam's last day to work with me before he moved to a different store. It also happened to be the fateful day of the BYU-TCU game. I'm one of the only LDS people in my store. Everyone knows I'm such a huge BYU football fan so I was getting a lot of harrassment for how the game was going. That night while I was on a run I got a text from a number I didn't know harassing me about the game. Turns out it was Sam and he had gotten my number off of the schedule. I was pretty shocked because I really hadn't thought he'd noticed me at all- let alone that he'd take the time to find my number and text me. So that night we texted throughout work. The next day, Sunday, was our first date. We went geocaching and had hot chocolate. Anyways, we've been dating since then. For Halloween we decided to be Zombie pizza deliverers. We didn't take a picture of me but here's Sam. I did his makeup:)

We worked that night but got off early enough to do a little trick or treating, go by one of my old bishopric member's homes, and go to a party at his friend's house.

That Sunday we went to church and went to his family's house. Sam was a goth in high school so i thought it would be funny to have him try on his old clothes for me. The other funny thing is that these two pictures are the ones I've sent my mom of him. No, mom, he does not normally look like this:) He's actually pretty normal:)
