Talents??

So here is the story. Trent's cousin Garrett asked me to make his corsage for the first dance he's actually asked someone to. I'm glad he trusts me, hahaha. Well I've made tons of boutonnieres in my life but only a handful of corsages and mainly for old women and mothers who wear them on their dresses not the wrist...well Garrett asked to put it on a wrist band, "No Problem" I thought. So I got the corsage done, but then to attach it to that piece of crap, made out of aluminum, fall apart, one inch by one inch piece of HUD thing, was to say a little difficult. I was laughing and then worried about the poor girl to get it, because i really wanted to get the duct tape out and go "red and green show" on it. However I didn't but the little aluminum clamps that come on it, well ALL of them broke off, so next time I'm just going to PULL all of them off to begin with. Needless to say I got it on with some good imagination and it will NOT fall off even if she does gymnastics with it. Here are pictures of my creation it's on the purple towel because that is his shirt color and her dress is a little darker than lavender...how dark I don't know.
Flash and without flash.
One the wrist, whew, I did it.

Holy Cow!

OK so a lot has happened since the last post. Our little camera that we use to do video clips..ah well we lost the batterie recharger so it's "out of order" right now. Brian is our walking fool, can pick up objects, and go from sit stand position without holding on to anything...yes he still does fall and crawl sometimes. Usually when it involves food, I guess he doesn't want to worry about the walking stuff and knows he can get there faster crawling. Oh, and yes, some of you heard we were moving, well we were, but Trent found a job here in Pocatello, that he really wants to pursue (finance, goes along with his degree) instead of management in RETAIL (not seeing him on holidays would have been hard but we were all ready to do it) and also he can now continue his education which he could have done in Twin Falls but it would have been VERY difficult. So we as a family are all very happy campers and are so excited for Daddy to work at something that interests him. So that's what's been going on in a tiny nut shell here are some pictures of Brian just being happy and playing.

Trent Birthday

Trent is now 29!!! Wow that's old...lol...just kidding, I can't say that because I'm the same age. OK, so it was yesterday, but we celebrated it for 3 days in a row. Saturday we went out to eat with his family, Sunday we had a good dinner and cake at Great Grandma & Grandpa Murray's house. Yesterday mom and dad took care of the kids so me and Trent could go to a movie and dinner, we went and saw the Mummy, it was OK, they try to hard to put in funny parts, you almost role your eyes, OK so I did a couple times. Anyway I guess when we were seeing a movie mom and dad decided to take Chad and Brian to Kong Fu Panda. Well Chad actually ended up sitting and watching, clapping and asking Grandpa "what happened" "why" through the whole thing, I guess he had to go out of the movie twice, just to see the lobby, but then he was pretty good. (so say the reporters) Brian only threw up once, and got mainly the floor, said Grandma. He was gagging on a fruit gummi, but then he watched the movie too and clapped when Chad clapped. I guess the lady in front of them thought they were so cute, and then Chad told Grandma & Grandpa that she was his friend. (by the way everyone is his friend or best friend). So all in all I think Trent had a great Birthday.

Glasses

Well Chad found our 3-D glasses that we saw Journey to the Center of the Earth (very good show) with and decided to start playing with Brian. It was just fun, Brian got very excited when Chad would try to put on the glasses that Chad almost couldn't get them on.

A happy Brian with glasses on

A happy Chad with glasses on and as you can see Brian was happy no matter who had them on.

Fun Filled Saturday

Well last Saturday we were busy, Trent helped dad do his slues box for gold and found a little tiny nugget. Then we went to the Simplot party where Trent, Amy, and Me won Bingo. Poor dad didn't win once, Amy and me won twice. This is Chad having fun on the toys.

Then after the simplot party we went to Trent's parents neighborhood picnic, and they had the fire truck there. Chad loved it. Here he's giving the fireman 5, which was also the number of the firetruck. =)
Wore the oxygen tank only after Daddy did.
Brian Loved it too as you can see.
Yup, I just think he loves driving anything especially a "Big Truck".

Olympics At Our House

Well looks like this is the only video left of Chad's Olympic excitement. We did have others where Chad was yelling "GO USA GO!" over and over again, this is the one he realized we were recording and didn't want to say much...lol..oh well I guess the love of my life erased those for something more irresistible. =)

Family Walks

Well I really need to get updated. We go on family walks every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The kids love it of course, and it's good for us too.
This time Chad brought his bike and rode the whole way. I thought he would definitely want to be held and not walk or ride anymore. He surprised me.

Chad riding.
