One of my favorite things...

One of my favorite things is to watch little boys lay on the floor like this and drive their trucks around. Bradley does it often- he has such a great imagination... He has always loved semi trucks and his ultimate happy times are when Ryan gets out his expensive ones that he is not usually able to play with. The last time Ryan had it out, Bradley played with it for most of the day and then Ryan had to go to work so he told Bradley to tell the truck good-bye for a while. Bradley cried like he was losing his best friend.

The things they say...

Bradley was in the cart at target- Ryan had let him get it. The annoying one that has the big double seat on the front. They are like steering a bus, and they boys only sit in them for the first 30 seconds. Bradley climbed up on the side and was balanced in an awkward position.
Then he says, "Hey mom, I think I am cool.... That's cause I am."

A few days later we were in the mall and he was looking at the different mannequins in the windows. There were some very bright pink ones in one of the windows and he says, "They sure think they are cool, huh mom."

Last night in the shower Zack let a gas. With three boys in the shower- it is their ultimate entertainment. This time though, it sounded a little different and Josh said, "what was that?"
Zack responded, "It's a funny squeaky sound..." in his best old lady Christmas Vacation voice.
*note* They only watch the edited version!

Getting ready for Christmas

Making chocolate dipped pretzels for the neighbors...

setting up the christmas tree.

Memories of Sanford...

On a recent trip to Idaho, Grandpa Garth was making breakfast for the boys with brown and green eggs that he got from their neighbors. Zack asked why the eggs were not white and how they got to be brown and green. Grandpa Garth replied that Jesus made them that way. He said that it is like people- some of us are black and some of us are white. Grandpa then asked the boys why they thought some people are black and some are white... After thinking for awhile, Josh said, "I know how people get black- they get born in Florida!"

If at first you don't succeed...

Halloween 2009

Zack and I getting ready to go to the trunk-or-treat

We went to Draper for their city carnival which the boys loved!

It really wore them out!

Halloween morning jack-o-cakes

Bradley ate a sucker with his pancakes-yummy!

After breakfast we carved these huge pumpkins from Grandpa Garth.

And had mummy hot dogs for lunch.

They were a hit!

Ready to go trick-or-treating!

Later that night we stopped at Gary and Kim's to see the cousins!

So much fun to have family close by...

Our house ready for trick-or-treaters!

Fall Happenings...

Bradley loves to rock out on Rock Band.

Bradley shows his absolute disgust for peas.

Josh was an awesome soccer player! He scored every game this year- usually 2-3 goals per game. He was very fast uses both feet- which made him pretty amazing. We never knew which foot he was going to kick with...

Josh with his medal

Zacked loved to play soccer for about the first 10 minutes. Then he was done. He was good, and would usually score right away and then decide that he had done his job and was ready to view the rest of the game from the side.

Bradley was usually very pleasant even though he sat through soccer four nights a week...

While we were in Idaho, Josh helped Grandpa Garth move cattle. He had some major skills when it came to being a cowboy...

With the cold air moving in, the boys began their coughing season. Every year is the same, they cough for weeks without other symptoms. The breathing treaments help out lots. We are just happy to be away from Florida where it was year round because of their mold allergies!

For family home evening we made carmel apples. The boys really got into it and had a great time! It is so much fun when Ryan is home to do these things with us...

Yummy!
