Today is my brother in law Bruce's birthday--(my sister Stacey's husband) We hope that you have a FANTASTIC birthday! Sorry Jimmie beat Carl today.....

GOOOO JIMMIE!!!

WOW!! What a finish is all I can say!

Party at Boondocks.

Today was Corey's birthday party at Boondocks. Party started at 3:00--we left just after 9:00. We were all sooooooooooooooo tired! But the kids all had a really great time! The weather was really nice--it wasn't too hot. Here are a bunch of pictures...

New Play Area.

We finished the play area in the backyard this week-- so I took Garrett and Kayden out this morning to play. It wasn't the easiest thing to control them--they each wanted to go in different directions.
Here are a few pictures.

Kayden LOVED the swing!!

Garrett...not so much.
Garrett LOVES to throw wood chips!

Kayden & Garrett

Here are a few pictures from the last few days. They are both getting SO big and are SOOOOO BUSY!!!! Especially when I'm on the phone or the computer...they go from one thing to another that they both KNOW they shouldn't be doing.

Playing with the printer that they both KNOW they should not be doing!


Garrett taking Kayden for a ride! SO CUTE!













Kayden in time out..I think Garrett felt left out so he joined him.

Happy Birthday Corey!!

Today my nephew Corey turns 12 years old! I had to double check with Shawn to make sure he was REALLY turning 12--it just doesn't seem possible that he could be that old!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COREY!!! WE HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!

Another Derby

Saturday night Jiffy Lube had 2 cars in the Riverton Demolition Derby. Colton and Garrett went to Stacey and Bruce's house--I went in the pits with Justin. It was so much fun! Their first car didn't win his heat. The second car did really well winning his heat and then winning in the final round as well.


Before the last heat the guys were working on the car trying to get it running again. They got the car started and for some reason it got away from one of them and it took off in the pits...smashing into the back side of Kirk's Denali-doing a bit of damage. Luckily nobody was standing in front of the car when it took off! Kirk had a good attitude about the whole thing!

Wiggle Coma!

Garrett and Kayden LOVE to watch the Wiggle's!! I have about 10 different shows recorded. And they just watch them over and over!!! Garrett has started learning some of the motions and will sometimes do them with some of the songs. Kayden for the most part just looks at the TV and is "Wiggle Coma" as Colton calls it.

Another funny thing...when the song to The Young and the Restless come on--they will run to the TV. Garrett will sway from side to side--Kayden just stares and stares. I need to get it on video soon.

Halloween Oreos!!!

Garrett's most FAVORITE thing in the world is Oreo cookies! At the store today I saw that they had their Halloween Oreo's out---so of course I picked up a bag. When we got home he ate 3 and I'm pretty sure he would've eaten more if I had let him. Of course he only eats the middle and on rare occasions he will eat the cookie part. I can't wait for the Christmas RED Oreo's to come out---that should make a nice face.

Garrett's New Toy

I went and got Garrett a potty chair today. I know he is still really little and we have a long time before we actually start potty training. I got Colton's chair for him when he was really little--just to get him familiar to it a bit. Garrett went CRAZY when I took it out of the box! He kept trying to climb on/in it--he kind of got the hang of how to sit on it--and then would stand up and clap, clap, clap his hands because he was so proud. It was the cutest thing. I'm SURE that I won't be as lucky to have Garrett potty train as fast and easy as Colton did. But maybe with Garrett and Kayden potty training together...they will help each other??? Here are a few pictures.

Raingutter Regatta!!

Colton had his Raingutter Regatta this last week in Scouts. Colton had alot of fun and won a few races. He won the award for "shiniest boat". I forgot my camera the night of the race so we took this afterwards. Good Job Colton!!!!

Colton just went off track this last Friday. He is excited to have a little break from school. It has been fun to have him home this week. He is a good little helper!
