Cute idea!

This one is for Meryntha!! Such a cute idea for Halloween!! Its just a radish and pimento olives!! Just scrape off most of the red on the radish with a knife, use a small melon baller to make a small hole in radish. Cut olive in half and fit in hole. Put eyeballs in a ice cube tray and fill with water and freeze. Then you can use with any clear drink such as water, sprite ect. Cute idea hu?

My mom and I headed out to Salt Lake on Monday for a little R and R and SHOPPING, but how relaxing can it really be with two little boys, right?!!haha We did manage to get a ton of shopping in, the boys were actually troopers! We went to Gardner Village, which is SO cute this time of year. Its all decked out with witches. We didn't think it would be that busy on a Monday afternoon, but it looked like the rest of Utah thought the same thing! The boys got a pony ride and a wagon ride with a witch that told stories and jokes, they thought that was fun!

After all the shopping and dragging the boys from store to store, we decided to go back to the hotel and go swimming, they enjoyed every minute of it!! They both love the water! The trip was a blast, but I am glad that we are home to get in our regular routine again. The boys aren't happy campers if they don't get a nap in! Thanks mom, for the wonderful few days away from home!!!!!!

Punkin festival

We went to the local pumpkin festival last night in Jensen. It was short and sweet to say the least! Here are just a few pics of the night! I need a new camera BAD......hint,hint Dave!!haha

See what I mean about a new camera??lol These are SO blurry and dark!!

And this is it!!! The Canon XSi! It was between this one and the Nikon D200, which is a tiny bit out of the price range ringing in at a cool $1400 for the camera alone!!OUCH! So this is a small hint hunny, for a great Christmas present for your lovely wife!lol

Remembering Grandma

Today was a bitter sweet day. It was Grandma Wanda's birthday. She passed away this past December. We decided to go to her grave site and have a little birthday party. The weather wasn't that great, but when we all pulled up and got out of the car, the clouds opened up and the warm sun shinned down on all of us! It was amazing!(thanks grandma!) We wrote special messages on paper, tied them to balloons and sent them to heaven for her to read! The kids enjoyed this so much! Its hard for them to understand where we go after this life here on earth! We all miss her more than she will ever know. She was such a true inspiration to each and every one of our family members as well as everyone who knew her. She was honestly the sweetest most loving and caring person I have ever know. She AlWaYs put everyone before herself. Her acts of kindness were so numerous, that you could never count them! She had a large family including lots of grandchildren and great- grandchildren, and lots of in-laws. She never ever forgot any one of our birthdays. You could always count on a call from her on your special day. I took this for granted! Even though she must have been in some pain the last years of her life, you NeVeR heard any negativity or complaining. She was the glue that held us together! She was the best example of compassion and kindness. She was very active in genealogy and our ancestors from Sweden, and when you had a question about someone from the past, she always knew the answer and had a fun story to go along with it! I strive to be like her one day, even though I know I will never come close! I am grateful for the gospel and the knowledge that the next life can be eternal. We will all be together again one day! We miss you grandma!!

Finally!!

We have been living in our house now for 4 whole months, and during this time we have had no fridge in our kitchen. Who knew how hard it was to pick out a fridge. More makes and models than cars!! The one I really wanted was slightly out of our price range(ok... a little more than slightly!) I thought we could just save up for a few months to get it.....wrong!! I was SO sick of tromping out to the garage fridge to get milk for the boys every half hour, not to mention juggling eggs, milk, butter and anything else we might need for one meal,
(to lazy to make 2 trips to the garage)!! So we finally made it out to Park City to get a fridge this last weekend....without further adue(sp?)........

TaaaaDaaaa!!! I am so glad I now have a fridge right in my own kitchen! How did they do without one back in the day???

When it gets quiet...go check!!

The other morning I was in doing laundry, when all the sudden I realized the boys were being extra quiet! That usually when I know that they are into something! I walked into the kitchen quietly and saw this..............So of course I grabbed my camera! They were both in their cowboy boots and into the Cheetos! Cheetos for breakfast?...the breakfast of champions!?!

I love the mess Cheetos make! FuN!

Then they saw the camera and had to throw a few poses in there!! Got to love boys!!!

Austyn has been my quiet one!! He has just recently began talking in sentences, but only when he has something important to say or if he really wants something. I was in my room this morning and he came in and said,plain as day, "My want some fruit naks..pa pa pa pa pleeeeeease!!" I was laughing SO hard!! He has never said pa pa pa pleeeease...EVER. That is something that his brother always says when he really wants something bad, so needless to say, he got such a reaction out of me that it is now his favorite thing to say!! It is so dang cute!!
