True Aggies

I am really slacking with my blog. I usually only have time to view every one's blogs, and never add to mine! So, this picture is of some of the loot we got from Utah State's Homecoming parade. I was excited because we got shirts that are fun and yes, we got ice cream! We also got tons of candy that helped the kids get their sweet tooth's ready for Halloween. We went to the parade and then the boys all went to the football game. Go Aggies. I love how the kid shirt says to show me a true-blooded Aggie...that is exactly what our kids will be! That is where I met my dear husband and we have many wonderful memories of our time there at USU!

My favorite "Witch"

We have a grandma who was born on Halloween! We love to go visit her, and so we decided to go down to see her and bring her a birthday dinner and let the kids show off their Halloween costumes to their favorite Halloween Grandma! We had a wonderful time! We love her so much. It is this grandma who gives me my squinty eyes, who taught my mother to love music and who in turn has taught me to love music, she is the grandma who shed blood, sweat and tears to make my daughter a beautiful cross-stitch quilt that I love. She is the one who has taught me how to knit darling baby hats (that take me forever but they are worth it!) She is a wonderful grandma who loves us so much! Happy 75th Granny! We love you!!

Family+Motorcycle=Fun

Here is the motorcycle that we got when we were in Colorado visiting the family. We were all together and so we took turns riding it a bit. It was lots of fun. It was especially exciting to see my sweet hubby taking his turn on the baby bike.

Sleeping Beauty and Brother too

I love sleeping children, okay, I love them awake too, but sleeping they are so wonderful. Like my friend Becky says, "I fall in love with them all over again when they sleep!" I agree with her completely. Scrubba is a very normal sleeper. We read stories, say prayers, and give a hug and a kiss and in a few short minutes he is sleeping blissfully. KK on the other hand, has her own set of rules. We read some stories, where she insists on sitting in a very specific spot in the chair that leaves me hanging off the edge during the whole thing. Then, she has to find all of the things that she wants in her bed with her, like in the photo, it ended up being the books we read, her baby, and a number of blankets. Once her arms are full of things to sleep with, she has to turn off her light and then she tries to fold her arms around all of the things(..one day i will learn how to infiltrate this thing...) Okay, that was a strange add-in from the hubby, anyway, she fold her arms around all of her things to say her prayers...which are darling to hear! Finally, she leans over to kiss me good-night. I lay her down, and she organizes all of her things and eventually she sleeps. Usually one of us goes in later to clear her crib of the mayhem and allow her some sleeping space. That is how we got this picture. I love her little hand resting on her cheek. I love it even more knowing that my sweet hubby was the one who painted her little finger nails while I was at a meeting. Life is good.

Oh the places we have gone

We just got back from Colorado on Sunday and had a wonderful time. I tried to put the photos on in order, but I am still learning and so things are a little crazy. So, here it goes!

Boys will be boys, and brothers are always brothers! Wrestling is just one of those things that happens when you get these boys together. We did lots of other wonderful things too! We absolutely love our time with these sweet family members! We spent lots of time on our bikes (see next post), and we went to our cousins' football games, ate at a fun restaurant, bought a little motorcycle, but mostly we shared and made so many wonderful memories! Thanks B&S and Kids! We love you tons!

Come on Huz!! You can do it! Can't you?

Well, maybe next time!

Here are my kids hanging out with the two youngest cousins there at Colorado. They are all waiting patiently for the next exciting activity!



K-Kay at the park playing with her favorite thing...DIRT (or in this case, sand) I swear, she loves getting down into the good earth any time she can! I love that she loves to be girly, but can keep up with the boys too!




This is Scrubba playing at the park after the football games! I can honestly say that my kids were exhausted when we left! They don't usually get the chance to play so hard! Our drive home was so easy because they slept so much of it! YIPPEE!

Colorado Continued...

One of our family's favorite places to go is to see our cousins in Colorado! My husband's brother and family live there and they are always so much fun to be around! They have five, very entertaining boys that my kids love to play with. One of the fun activities that we did was go to the BMX race track and ride on it for HOURS! We didn't get to ride on it last year when we were there, and the year before Scrubba wasn't good enough to ride on it! So, this was our family's year! We had small races and tried out all of our tricks. Scrubba was a trooper! Many of the hills were too steep for him to ride up, but he kept at it! I loved riding on it too! I have been kind of nervous on bikes in the past, but I sure enjoyed riding here!
