Flash Back Friday

This is a picture of Brian's mom when she was a baby. (Doesn't she look a lot like paislee)

My Babies!

Blog Book FYI

Just to let you know. I just got my blog book that I ordered and I love it. I say goodbye scrap booking hello blog booking! Mine was 210 pages and only cost $65. It turned out really good and I will definitely be printing out my blog yearly!

You know you should have stayed in bed when...

-Your dog eats a whole box of decon and has to be taken to the vet so she doesn't bleed to death!
-You start a big load of laundry and then realize your dryer won't turn on. (Luckily it was a tripped breaker)
-You finally get up in time to go to church. You get the kids all ready drive to church and... Yep that's right no ones there because evidently it is stake conference! Maybe I will try again next week=)

Happy Birthday Brady!

Brady turns 6 today. I can't believe my little boy is 6. In honor of his birthday I thought I would list just some of the great things about brady!
-He is the calmest little boy ready to go along with the flow.
-He knows just about everything there is to know about electronics (probably more than we do)
-He is such a good helper (especially if you ask him something and it ends with "and then you can play video games")
-He has such a soft heart. He is all boy but he will cry at the drop of a hat.
We love this little guy and don't know what we would do without him. Happy Birthday Brady!
We Love You!

Brady's Pirate Party

We did a pirate themed party for Brady this year. We invited our two little neighbor boys and I think the kids had a ton of fun. Between the treasure hunt and the eye patches it was a great party.

The eye patch. Yes Paislee did not want to wear it but I wanted a picture=)

Yar har fiddle dee dee you are a pirate!

The Cake

The treasure hunt. In case you are wondering it has been confirmed that we have deer by our swing set. Brian went to hide a clue up there and saw one where we had heard the noise before!

The Red Ryder BB Gun Brian got Brady. I know I know most of you are saying "You'll shoot your eye out." But in reality the BB gun won't leave the safe unless Brian is with him. Brian was wishing he would of had this the other night when he saw a mouse in our garage. He put decon out for the mice and our dog Sammy ate the whole box (luckily Brian saw that she had done it on his way to work and took her to the vet. She is going to be fine thankfully)

The rest of the loot.

New Hair Do's

My Sis told me about these blogs she had looked at that had ideas for little girls hair. So I tried a couple today and I think they turned out pretty good.

Crown Braid

Paislee with a bunch of pony tails. I can't believe her hair was even long enough to do this!

The leaves they are a changing=(

I feel like my summer was stolen right out from under me. For one thing we were either moving or Brian was working practically every Saturday. And then I drive home from the bus stop today and look at the hills behind my house. All the leaves are changing, in a way they are pretty but I don't like to think that summer is already on its way out. It would help if we hadn't either been moving or having a baby the last 4 summers. We need to stick around in one spot and enjoy a summer. Or maybe just move to St. George where it is summer all year round!

Come on baby, lets do the twist..

The kids earned this twister game by doing chores. So we thought we would play it as a family. It was actually pretty fun and a good way for Brady to learn his left from his right!

What was that?

Brian and I were trimming trees today in our back yard and up on the hill by the swing set when we heard thud thud thud. Up in the thick buck brush. We both just kinda looked at each other. I asked him what it was and he said I don't know. And then he started yelling trying to get it to move again. We heard another thud thud thud and by then I was already back to the yard. Brian stayed and said it was probably just a deer. Which I'm sure it was because we often have deer in our yard in the morning. But maybe I won't be so quick to tell the kids they didn't hear a bear when they come in from playing on the swing set!

Hogle Zoo!!

We went to the Hogle Zoo today. Since it was 75 in salt lake today we thought it was perfect timing to go to the zoo. We hadn't been there in 4 years. Alot had changed and I think the kids really enjoyed seeing all the animals. I enjoyed the ice cream and I guess the animals too. haha

Paislee kept throwing a fit because the kids both had head phones while watching a movie on the way to the zoo. I finally found these headphones that go to brady's leapster (which weren't even hooked to the movie). Right when I put them on she shut right up and had a smile on her face the rest of the drive.

Grandma Ann went along for the ride. She hadn't been to the zoo in 25 years!

These are some of the animals we saw. I was pretty impressed by the white alligator. When we were above the gorilla enclosure. Brady said "you dont want to fall in there because you will bonk your head and the gorilla's will kill you, huh dad"

Road Island Diner

*just so you know I stole all these pictures from my sisters blog!

There is this cute diner in oakley so since Tiff was in town. Mom, Tiff and I decided to try it out. Brian was nice enough to keep all the kids but brooklyn (because she's cute and she wanted to go). Anyway its a diner that was actually brought from rode island to oakley and is complete with waitress's who have their hair done like they are in the fifties (all slicked with great big curls)The food was great and we had a great time visiting. Its nice to be able to see my sis and mom more often!

Brooklyn looking like a stressed little mother=)

Best Buds!

Brady and Paislee waiting for the bus.

And the hug goodbye when the bus arrives!

Paislee and Brady hanging out in the toy box. Paislee loves Brady she follows him around saying baydee (Brady). She just learned to give Brian five and we were surprised that after she gave him five, she turned her hand around and put it by him and said "fi" (five) so he could give her five. Also lately instead of just having her lovey blanket in her crib while she sleeps. We catch her in her room sneaking it out of her crib and walking around the house with it. (Thanks Jeni little did you know she would become so attached to your present)

Paislee and her lovey. She often wraps it around her neck like this so she has her hands free to play. Matter of fact I just went to put her for a nap and her lovey wasn't in the crib. I started to walk out and she whined and said "ve" (lovey). I found it and gave it to her and she went right to sleep!

The temperature is dropping!!

I looked on my weather forecast on the net today and it actually had little snow flakes for Kamas
=(We did see some snow on the mountains but none here at the house thankfully! This is my weather forecast for this week. I think I will be making the trip to St George a little sooner than planned. Get ready for some visitors Tiff, Carrie and Jeni I'm planning a trip either in Sept. or Oct.!
