Remebering that we love them after all. . .

Maybe I shouldn't put it that way. I always know and remember that I love them, but It's times like these that its easier than others. (When I'm pregnant and moody, it's especially hard).

Where have I been ???

I could give you all the excuses I have in my head, but what it boils down to is that I just haven't had the energy to do it. But here are a couple pictures to get you updated.



Logan had so much fun playing in the leaves this fall. He threw them, raked them and layed in them.



Our gingerbread house. Dad and Ethan had fun making it, Logan had fun eating it, and Mom had fun taking pictures of it!



This picture was taken Christmas morning. We had a nice and lazy morning opening presents. Then we went to grandma and grandpas for breakfast. Then Mom had a 4 hour project of puting Ethans MarbleWorks together while Dad played thw Wii, Go figure. . .



And Last but not least. . . We are having a BABY!!!!!







And it's a . . .

GIRL!!!!!

My Super Hero's

I have to admit, I feel like a horrible photographer mom. I only have 1 picture of my boys in there costumes.



If you're wondering if the coloring is right, It is. Ethan's face really was white. He woke up Halloween morning with the stomach flu. Poor kid had to miss his halloween party at school. He slept ALL DAY!! He was able to walk up and down the trunk-or-treat once before getting tired and wanting to go to grandmas house, where he spent the rest of the night on the couch. Hopefully next halloween will be better.

I can't not tell you the Logan Halloween story. We were supposed to be leaving the house for the trunk-or-treat in 10 minutes. I was upstairs getting dressed when I hear Ethan screaming, "Mom, Logan is putting his cape in the toilet!" Oh, don't worry, it wasn't just his cape, IT WAS HIS WHOLE COSTUME!!! So needless to say, we were late, I had to do some laundry before we went.

The Mess

The mess is FOREVER what this shall be known as. For I cannot forsee ANYTHING in the future (knock on wood) that will surpass this. And I must say, the only reason I'm blogging this, is because my Mom keeps asking to see it. And honestly, it's not much to see. It's a mess, and the Photographs don't do it justice. Having said all this: Here is the proof. There was a mess, And it was big.



In case you're not quite sure what this is, it is flour and sugar. 25 pounds of EACH. Translating into 50 pounds of flour on my floor. Don't let the picture decieve you, it wasn't just in the kitchen. It was going up the stairs. It was going down the stairs. it was on the wall above the stairs. It was in the carpet. IT WAS EVERYWHERE!!! Including on my children.



Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of the instigator, just the follower. But have no doubt, they were equally white. Notice the flour in Logi's hair. I didn't realize this before, but flour doesn't just rinse out. It balls up. I had to comb the flour out of his hair. OH MY. PLEASE let this be "The Mess". I don't know if I could handle a bigger one!

Hello! My name is Ethan, and I like to sing. . .

Today was my first time ever at Parent Teacher Conference. I probably don't have to tell you that I was nervous. Don't get me wrong, I know Ethan is a good kid, I know he's smart: But I know that he's a 5 year old boy who likes to tease, talk and imaginate (is that a word?).

The first thing that Mrs. McAllister says to me is this: "Ethan is such a funny kid!"
GREAT! I'm thinking. Then she tells me why.

The whole class was sitting together on the carpet reading a story, so it was VERY quiet in the classroom. Ethan gets up and goes to the bathroom. The bathrooms in kindergarten are actually in the classroom, so they don't get lost in the big school. All of a sudden, Ethan starts singing AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS in the bathroom!!! Ok, I have to admit, when she told me this i had feeling inbetween mortified and rolling on the floor laughing. Then I think to myself, he does that at home, why wouldn't he do that at school??? That's my Ethan boy!!!

2 Spoons for Logan!

How could he possible eat applesauce with only one spoon???

Labor Day Fun!

Water and dirt, what more could any two little boys want???

We had so much fun at Bear Lake!!! It was actually really cold, but there was a little sand bar that kept a little pool of water nice and warm!
