Update-Without Pictures

So we decided we would still let you know what was going on even though there are no picture, because I left our camera in Nampa and we still don't have a battery charger from the time Trent left it in Park City (we are a good team, haha). Anyway a lot has been happening in the last week. Brian has finally decided to start talking I was a little worried because Chad was already talking very well at this age and Brian only said mama, dada, baba, and wazthat. Now he is saying bye bye, dat you (thank you), bana (banana), wantdat (want that), daddy, mommy, Cad (chad)...and he also is doing his sign language too. So he is understanding the world of language, hurray, poor kid though is also learning about gravity the hard way. He has decided he wants to run and he keeps falling and bonking his head (lots of bruises). This is the child I held all the time to stop the walking process, didn't want him to be like Chad walking at 10 and a half months but some how he did the same thing. AHH. Speaking of Chad well, he broke his first window on Saturday. I guess the cat was up by the window and he told him to get down and the cat did not obey, so Chad found a golf ball and threw it at the cat, but missed and shattered the back window. I heard the noise and came running to see what had broken. I thought it was something that fell off the fridge so I asked Chad who was huddled up in a corner. He pointed at the window. Anyway so that was a fun adventure needless to say he can't play with golf balls and they are ALL put away. "GOLF!!" I also went and got an oil change at Honda were they preceded to tell me I needed $450.00 of work on the car because I had a broken brake caliper and leaky oil pressure sending unit. So I called Trent's brother Tyler who works at Toyota and told him, well come to find out the broken caliper was a screw that wasn't tight, and the oil leak was just their mess from changing the oil (which they didn't clean up, Toyota did). Oh I was so mad!! Still am, haha, so Honda makes good cars but not good service, the lying cheats. I know Jared would disagree with even that statement =) Anyway, so we were happy to hear we didn't have to spend anything and will now be going to Toyota for things.

Halloween in Nampa

So here are some pictures of our boys, Chad was so excited to be Robin because his cousin Luke was going to be Batman and they could "fight bad guys together". Brian is Elmo of course, who doesn't love Elmo?

Here is aunt Amy as Princess Peach and Brian again. Then we have almost the whole crew, all Coralie's girls were princesses she was Cat Woman, Robin, Batman and The Joker.

Here are just a couple pictures of us out and about, the kids held hands and did the buddy system really well. They were really happy with all the sugary goodness they got.

And here is were I say a big THANK YOU! to Coralie, Casey and Mom for helping me so much because when we got here I had a bug. (not a nice one) I was throwing up, and cramping and I was miserable, I had to rest a lot when walking because I hurt so bad, they were awesome to help me and my children to have such a great Halloween!!

Play Time With Daddy

This is why mothers are so grateful to have daddies to be able to play with the kids the way they love to be played with. Daddy is now a horse, then a balance beam.

Chad and Brian love to be thrown and tossed in every direction.

Chad hasn't mastered holding on to the ceiling quite yet but he will one day, Brian is right there with him too.

Muffin Time

We made muffins this morning for breakfast. Chad was a really big helper he can crack eggs and stir SLOW, really good. He also puts the cupcake liners in the muffin tin for me, he loves to cook. As you can see both boys got a reward for helping, hopefully Mr. Salmonella doesn't visit our house, but raw cookie dough and chocolate muffin batter are the best!

See those happy chocolaty smiles, to cute.

Every Last Drop

Just thought I'd share a couple pictures of Brian drinking with his new sippy cup.
He's pretty smart to figure out how to get every drop.

Things We Do

So Me, Chad, and Brian decided to beautify our home, and clean up all the weeds and leaves in our front yard, even though it looks like the trees in our neighborhood have not lost any leaves at all yet, but there was a ton on the ground. Well, we will just have to rake again...Chad like that part, Brian likes putting them in the bag.

We picked some produce from our garden, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes and green peppers, and distributed them to all our neighbors, because I don't want to deal with them anymore, hahaha. Chad still finds peas to eat and shares with Brian. Hopefully the learn to eat veggies a little better then they do now.

We saw General Conference Saturday Morning and afternoon at Grandma Rawson's house she always makes the best breakfasts and lunches to go along with it. I told Trent that is one family tradition I would like to keep going. Sunday we had breakfast again at mom's then went to Great Grandma Murray's house for lunch and second session. Conference seemed to go by so fast this time..don't know why...I didn't even fall asleep, but I really enjoyed it.

This is the boutonniere I made last Friday for Trent's cousin Alisha, for her dance. She was so funny, she said she wished she had talents, I told her she did, but that the only reason I have the talents I have is to save money.

Who Needs The Real Thing???

We don't!! If you couldn't tell this is firefighter Chad, he's shooting water at me.

And this is Prince Brian, he found this and put it on all by himself, it's the inside liner of a hard hat. We don't use the really hat, that's not fun enough.
