Santa, A Rite of Passage, DONE!!!

We went to see Santa last week....don't let Brady's smile deceive you - he was terrified, but at the last second I yelled, "I'll give you gum if you smile!" It lasted only a second, but he did it! Zach had just woken up from a nap, so he had sleepy face! But he loved Santa, cuddled into him and relaxed. Check out Brady's FUTURE MISSIONARY badge, he loves it, so funny! He wants to be just like Uncle Newel!

Zachie slept through his First Thank Giving! But he was susre to eat after, notice the messy shirt?! Isn't he the cutest little Indian ever? Jeff had the idea that everyone should dress up as pilgrims or Indians....it was a hit, you should have seen Jeff's outfit (I can't describe it here, he'd be mad, lets just say it was GREAT, for a laugh!)

Here are the boys playing at Gma P's....

We weighed Zach at the Dinosaur Museum, 25 lbs..... 4 heavier than his 18 month old cousin!!!

We set up half of our Christmas stuff before Thanks Giving, only the tree left to do.... Beaners loved the stockings, and Zach just didn't want to be left out! It was very fun...I have 3 Nativity scenes, Beaners likes to get all 3 Baby Jesus' and set them next to eachother.

We had a great time in SLC for the past week. We saw almost all of our family (sorry friends). The kids ran wild and played until they were exhausted, we ate and sat and laughed and relaxed.

Jennifer hosted the meal , and it was Beautiful!! She spent hours setting up and cooking to make the day perfect, THANKS JEN! The kids we told to make up a skit, they sang songs, rad stories, did a skit and made up new words to 12 Days of Christmas, making it, 12 Things I'm Thankful for on this Thanks Giving day...so awesome!

We had a great week, thanks to all of our wonderful familes!!!

Halloween

I posted some Halloween Pics, scroll down, they are pretty cute if I do say so myself!!!

YEAH! So we started a BUNCO group....ok, I know, it sounds a bit lame, remember Trina's mom played?

I thought, 'Weird, old ladies playing a game for gifts, why not just buy something for yourself, skip the game?'

But now I have seen the light. Getting together once a month to laugh and talk is the greatest thing ever, forget the prizes!!!

Thanks ladies for playing! Love you all!

p.s. Twilight comes out in just a week! Whooo-hooo, it better be good.

A Cool Idea, Helpfull too!!

So my great friend Car-Pool-Courtney, came up with some questions to get people started on their personal histories, JOURNALS!!, and I think they are genious, and could be a great way to start kids and grandparents talking and remembering together!!

Check out my 'Sites I Love' on the side bar, they are all there!

I am challenging myself to do this too, and am so excited, ENJOY!

Baffins

Here are the boys having 'baffins', in the sink! They had a great time, even when Bean gave Zach a bubble covered binkie!

Talented Boys

Zachie is officially crawling, and he is sooo happy about it! I tried to get just him, but big brother wanted to sing.....enjoy!
