My GOOBER's 3!!!

Declan Richard Mullins

November 2nd, 2007

My sweet Declan is now 3. It amazes me how much they grow and learn in 3 years. He is so sweet. He is one of the most entertaining kids EVER. Not a dull moment with him. The things he comes up with just cracks me up, and everyone around him. He will always be my baby. I look at him all the time and wonder what would life be like if he was not the fighter that he was when he was born. I could not imagine not having him here. I thank Heavenly Father from the bottom of my heart that he let Declan stay here on Earth with us. I hear and know of friends/people who have lost their child and it is heart wrenching. He is such a JOY. I am one blessed Mother. I love my GOOBER!!!

Here are some pictures of his birthday party when his daddy was home for the weekend

Mr. Liam, at 4 Months

(I'll do an update on him as soon as I take him to the doctor for his 4 month check up) Tried to get a smile out of Malloree, but she was just staring at me :) haha

Grandma Bert and Wayne with Liam, watching Declan open presents

HE GOT TOOTHLESS!! It's HUGE!!

Back of the Cake...Not the best looking cake(made it at the last minute, did not go as planned)

It was yummy though! My 'Hill' with Dragons!!

Kris and Becky passing out the cake... Here's us singing to the birthday boy! It's so funny. He tried to blow out the candle before we were done, but Kris stopped him! haha..

He also had my parents, Kylee and cousin Bree come in on his birthday. They got him tons of presents as well. A Bouncy ball, as you can see in the video below. He had such a good Birthday week. Thanks to everyone of coarse. He had his Aunt Dez call him, and Uncle Chase... we have such a great family that loves our Goober so much.

Here's a video of him on the bouncy ball falling... don't mind my giggle... and me moving my digital camera in odd angles... ENJOY!

Trunk or Treat

We had a great (day before) Halloween. We went to the Stake Center here in Green River. There were a lot of cars and kids. Good fun. It was our first Trunk or Treat. Declan really enjoyed himself. Everyone LOVED his costume and got so many compliments. They would see him and say "HEY MIKE!" haha... It was also pretty funny when they would go to give him candy they did not know where to put it, so Declan would point to his costume (Mike's mouth) and say, "Put it in his mouth." A really cute feature I thought. It had a little pouch in the front for candy. Of coarse it filled up quickly...so I had to carry around anther bag/bucket to take candy out of his costume to make room for some more. It was fun, until it started raining and blowing pretty good. Other than that we had a blast! Missed Kris though....

Cousins ready to go Trick or Treating together. SO FUN and CUTE! haha...

Liam(Monster), Declan(Mike Wazowski), Bridger(Gator), Malloree(Utah Jazz Bear)...

Mike Wazowski!!

Little Monster Liam

Me, Liam and Declan waiting for it to start...TRICK OR TREAT!!!

In the car when it started getting COLD!

Kym and Miss Malloree

Us four were shoved in the back of a 4-Runner Toyota. Tight squeeze, but FUN!! haha
Pitch dark in the back, but Declan still pulled off a smile and looked at the camera! haha..

His face cracks me up!

After the fun night at the Stake Center...
My cute little Monster...

I love this time of the year!!!

...Fun Pumpkin carving...

Well, tonight Declan really wanted to carve a pumpkin REALLY bad. So when I was off work at 5, that's what we started to do. He kept telling me to "Open Pumpkin Mom." Here's pictures of the night...

Declan opening the Pumpkin...

Declan seeing the GUTS... haha

Declan and his spoon. You know...you would think little kids would LOVE to just stick their hands in it and get dirty right? NOPE, not my kid. I told him to just start grabbing and he replied, "No. I'll get dirrrtty Mom." I guess I am raising MONK, OCD. haha...

Declan took the camera and decided that I needed to be in pictures too. Not bad for a 2, almost 3, year old :) I'm carving a spider and a spider web... Then we painted the web white and the spider black... It was a fun night. Liam was just on the floor watching me and Declan the whole time.

Oooooo's...and...AAAAhhhh's....

My handsome little Mr. Goober...so proud of his pumpkin...

And of coarse I had to pose Liam next to it. He was there for it. That counts!

Look at him! I just love his smile. Melts my heart on ANY bad day...

Getting so big... growin' like a weed.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!
