Halloween 2010

What I love about living in Utah is everyone celebrated Halloween on Saturday because it fell on a Sunday this year!! We had fun even though it was so COLD!! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

My mom made the boys little goodie bags. I ate the good stuff.

Yummy

On actual Halloween, Sunday, I had everyone over to my house for dinner in a pumpkin!! It was a hit and it tasted so very yummy even the kids ate it!!

Look what we got

I said I would never get one but we have a dog!!

Just kidding. This is the neighbors dog who wanders through the hole on our fence every once in awhile.  The boys ask me everyday to get a dog but I am just not ready for that yet. Maybe when I am done having babies we will get one. The is a HUGE maybe.

I didn't sign up for this


Today is October 27 not December 27. I think whoever was in charge of the weather today got things mixed up. This is what I woke up to this morning and I had to take Ian to school it. 



The kids were excited but mommy and daddy not so much.

Happy Birthday Joshua

This past weekend we had the chance to celebrate my nephew Joshua's 5th birthday because they came into town. The theme of Joshua's party was Super Mario and the kids played the cutest game where they shoot the bad guys all around the yard and recue the princess. My boys loved it!! We had so much fun. Beware the pictures are all from a camera phone. :)

I am Super Women

    I have never had a 2 year old like Quintin before. Ian now seemed like a poster child compared to Quintin because anything that 2 year olds are stereotypically known to do, he does. Throws tantrums, talks back, sticks his tongue out at us, and gets into and destroys everything.
      Today he out did himself. He was having a hissy fit at the toilet and I didn't know what was wrong. He is potty trained so I guess that is one good thing. :) I didn't see anything so I assumed he flushed his business before he was done or whatever. He kept saying "juice, juice!" I blew it off like no big deal, let him have his meltdown and got on with my day. He cried himself to sleep and had a 3 1/2 hour nap. Nice. Then later when I tried to us the toilet I noticed the toilet didn't flush normally. And this is weird because out toilet is the kind where you can flush down like 12 golf balls with no problems.  I went on a scavenger hunt for a plunger because we never have to use one. After like 20 minutes of plunging and no results I got a little worried.
        I ran tot he kitchen and grabbed a plastic bag to put on my hand and went to the toilet and stuck my hand in. Then I felt it. A cup. Bottom side facing me. Great. I called Jared and he said he would look at it when he got home. That was not a good enough answer for me. He wouldn't get home until 11pm. Then I called my Dad and he was working and couldn't come help but told me a few things to try. I was off to find something I could use as a snake to wiggle past the cup and pull forward. After about 20 minutes I got it out!! I was bound and determined to get it out because I was not paying a plumber $100 to come out. Yeah me!!

That blue cup was down the toilet and I used that metal wire to get it. :)
