Twilight and Thanksgiving!

Hello my friends. So what did everybody think of Twilight? Just curious :) I went to see it with a group of friends and sister-in-laws, Saturday the day after it opened. It was a lot of fun! I was so excited I couldn't sleep good Friday night! It felt like Christmas! I know I'm weird. A few of us even took a picture by the poster outside. It was awesome! I will have to post it when I get it from my friend.
The movie was good and all but it wasn't great. I thought the acting wasn't very good and Jake was cuter in my mind than he was in the movie and his "friends" (wolf bros) too. Edward was also cuter in my mind, but they did an okay job with him and Bella. I just feel like Bella didn't show alot of emotion, she seemed boring, but I guess that is how she is?
Well, the next movies should be better, now that they will be working with a company, instead of doing it independent. I just love the books! I can't handle it! I swear these are the best books I have ever read! She could totally expand and write another one. If she doesn't then I will!
In my book I would have a fight between Jake and Nahuel for Renesme, then somehow the Volturi decides to fight them and it would be a close one, but the Cullens would win and kill the Volturi totally off, and they would be the new followers and they would take care of the Vampires that break the rules. How cool would that be? okay sorry if you haven't read all the books and I gave too much info! I just can't stop talking about it!

Okay, Thanksgiving! we really didn't have much of a Thanksgiving this year. Brayden woke up with a high fever so I stayed home with him :( Brent and Tyson went over to be with his family and brought us back food. The next morning he still had a fever, but then went down by the afternoon. Everyone at Brent's still wanted us to come over so we went and ate food and played games. So at least we did that :) Then the next day Tyson was throwing up and had a fever too! So it has been a fun week! Now they both just have the cough and stuffy, runny noses. They also have a hard time sleeping. Last night was the first night I didn't have to wake up to take care of one of them! yeah! I am suprized I haven't got sick yet. My immune system rocks! Brent started getting a cold yesterday, bummer.
So Thanksgiving has past, even though I didn't have a blast. I look forward to next year when we will hopefully be there! :) (I felt like rhyming)
To end, I just want everyone to know how thankful I am to have such good friends as you! I am so thankful for a wonderful husband who puts up with my craziness, and for two beautiful little boys who add to the craziness :)

Brayden's Top 10 Funnies

I was looking back at Brayden's journal and thought I'd write about a few of his funny sayings.

1. Last year when we were at stake conference there was this little boy with a pirate's of the carribean action figure. Brayden pointed at the beard and said "Ho, Ho. Ho" He thought anyone with a beard was Santa Clause, even if their beard wasn't white!
2. Brayden has a Spiderman placemat and he dropped food on it and said, "Get choo, maman"
3. He used to say the letter 'W' "Ubbledew"
4. He used to call Tysons bottle, "a bottom"
5. One time I was helping him pull up his pants after going to the bathroom and he pointed at my shirt and said, "A shirt, a bum" because he saw down my shirt and thought it looked like a bum! Ha Ha (this one is one of my favorites! He probably saw a little bum, that's all I can say!)
6. Now, whenever he goes poo in the toilet he looks at it and says, "Snakes in there!" (another one of my favorites :))
7. There was a time when Brayden and Tyson kept screaming back and forth. I kept telling them to stop! finally I went over to them and gave each of them a 'flick' on the mouth. Tyson just pouted and let out a small cry. Brayden got really mad and screamed at me, then he went over to Tyson and said, "Mommy hurt you, I'm sorry" and gave him a hug. I just had to laugh.
8. Speaking of 'flicks': One time I was telling Brayden something that he didn't want to do and he came up to me and asked, "Wanna flick?" and came at me with his fingers. (Smart Alec!)
9. Brayden is a teaser, and does anything for a laugh. whenever he put on his Bee costume for Halloween he said, "Oh no, bee get you, bee on me, oh no!"
10. Lastly, one time Brayden farted and said, "a burp in there" pointing at his bum.

If you want to play the game, try to name 10 things your child/children or any other member of your family has done or said, just for laughs :)

Halloween Party

We had a Halloween party with our neighbors last Wednesday. The kids loved trying to eat a donut from a string, and mostly loved playing. They could care less about the games :)

Trying to get a group picture :)

Halloween!

We had a Halloween party with some friends a week before Halloween. I was suppose to be Lois Lane, but it didn't really work out because Brent didn't want to dress up as Clark Kent. I even got him glasses that he wouldn't wear (party pooper!) I also cut and dyed my hair. Mainly because I wanted a change, but I thought Halloween would be a perfect excuse :)

Halloween day I took the kids to the mall to trick or treat at the stores with some neighbors and friends. Then we went over to Adam and Joanns' (Brent's brother and wife) and took the kids trick or treating. Brayden was so funny. When he saw the pumpkin that looked like it was throwing up he said "uh oh, coughing" I guess he doesn't know the word throw up yet :)

There was this house that had a strobe light, and Brayden said, "No, not that one!" (He was scared of the lights). There was a bowl of candy on the porch so I said I would go get him one. I started walking up to the house and Brayden said, "No, Mommy, No!" I told him it was okay, and I even did a little dance in the light. When we were walking away, Brayden pointed at the strobe light and said, "My Mommy!" Like he was telling it off, and like the strobe light got me :) We just laughed.

Lastly, we celebrated the boys' B-days. Tyson is 5 days older than his cousin Jake. They had a fun time, especially with the cake!

Halloween in the past

last year, Brayden was Superman. I was a pumpkin. (I thought that was perfect, because I had that extra weight!) I just bought a cheap mask for Brent, since he hates to dress up, and Tyson was .............. Can you guess? Drum roll ............, a deer hunter. He was only a week old! I had no idea when he would be born. His due date was Nov. 6th, So I didn't know if we would have him for Halloween. I went to Wallmart a couple days before Halloween and couldn't find anything! Not even those cute halloween onsies. All I found was a new born camoflauge sweater, and I thought, okay a hunter :)

The big round pumpkin and the cute deer hunter :)

Superman!

Our cute little Tyson

I can't believe he was that small! they grow so fast!

He says, "Hi"

Two years ago Brayden was a Lion and I was Dorthy

Cute little Lion!

Happy Birthday Tyson!

I can't believe Tyson is a year old! That year went by fast! His birthday was yesterday. We just celebrated with our little family. I made stuffed french bread pizza for dinner. Then we had Tyson open his present. It wasn't really wrapped, but He had fun playing on it. It is a bigger car seat! wa hoo! Then we sang Happy Birthday and had cake and ice cream :) Of course, he loved the cake!
We are having a Halloween part Monday with my family, so we will celebrate then with them, and we are going to My in-laws for Halloween. Tyson has a cousin that was born 5 days after him, so my sister in-law is going to get a cake with both of there names on it. So we will have another little part then :) I bet we will always have a Halloween/Birthday Party in one, since his birthday is so close to Halloween.

What we've been up to

Top of Utah 5k run

Running to the finish line!

Water show in Salt Lake, at the Gateway Mall

Family Pics

It rained so much last week that there was a

huge puddle in our parking lot. The kids loved

riding through it. That drain needs to be fixed!

It's a bugger in the winter

Uh Oh, who's got mommy's lip gloss?

Coming home from a long walk. Me and my friend

Katie, have been going for walks to lose those extra pounds!

Also just for fun :)

I watched my friend Delia's boy, Owen, While she was having

her baby! We went for a walk and they both crashed

Tyson cheesin' it. Always so happy after a nap.

Brayden got stung twice by a wasp, in August!

It stung him on the leg first and then flew up his shorts and

got his bum! He was so sad. Thanks to the neighbors

that helped!

Back shot

Now that Brayden doesn't like Bees (wasps) he thinks it's fun to hit them with sticks. I tell him over and over not to hit them with sticks! Just Wednesday, him and his friend Chloe ran to us screaming! I knew right away he got stung. When I got to him, there was one sitting on the top of his head, and 3 that were on his back! I started swatting at them, to get them off, and then was ripping his clothes off. I noticed he got stung 5x! Chloe got stung twice and so did Katie, (Chloe's mom) She ran away with Chloe and the wasps followed. I'm suprised they didn't get me, because I was hitting the crap out of them! Stupid Wasps! I actually got stung this summer too and it hurts like you know what! The land lords better get rid of that nest or I'm going to freak out! Oh, wait I already am freaking out :)


Tyson loves Daddy's wiskers

Little stinker's about ready to walk.

Brayden loves the computer! (just like his dad) He will play on PBS Kids for hours. I love those times when I can get stuff done :)

Tyson got stuck under the kitchen chair. He was trying to

crawl through it. I had to take a picture before I helped him.

Family Pictures

Last Saturday we took pictures at my in-laws. Brent complained and had asked me if we were going to take a family picture every season for this blog, and I said "yep". He hates pictures, but is willing to do it, if that's what makes me happy :)

5 yrs. and 2 kids later, and we still

look happy :)

Cute little boys!

You want me to smile, what?

There we go Tys

This picture was funny. Tyson was trying to get

away, and Brayden was looking at the rain

Weekend in Salt Lake

We actually got to stay last weekend in Salt Lake without the kids! We haven't done that in forever! (Before Tyson was born and he is almost a year!)

On our way down friday, we stopped in Ogden and shopped at Target (love that place) I always find good stuff there.

We stayed at the Radisson Hotel and ate lots of good food from their restaurant.

We shopped at the Gateway. I love the water show! I could sit there for hours and watch it, especially when they play the music with it. After a while Brent was getting bored. I also loved watching the kids play in it, and I thought 'Brayden would love this!' We will have to go with him next time.

We went to the Imax theatre, that was so cool! I haven't seen a 3D movie since I was a little kid. I even tried to grab stuff just for fun. We had a good time.
