2 Minutes is all it takes...

2 minutes is all it takes for these little rascals to turn our clean home into a disaster take a look.

The piece of styrofoam they found somewhere was so little, but it sure made a BIG MESS. This stuff has so much static and sticks to everything including the vaccume. This was the main area but it was through out the ENTIRE MAIN LEVEL of the house. Lots of fun playing with, not so much fun cleaning up.

Believe it or not I was on the other side of the island making lunch while they made this mess with flour. They were playing so well together. A little to well actually, I took a peek around the corner to see what they were doing and saw my flour and sugar canisters out. Mason was taking handfulls and putting it on Eastons head,oh how they laughed. Notice Mason's vacumme in the background. He was "cleaning" up the mess and Easton was scooping it and driving it to Mason to "clean up". I wanted to get mad and then decided the damage was done they might as well enjoy themselves. When they were done playing we all vacummed and mopped it up together. We actually had fun cleaning this mess up. They looked like casper by the time they were finished playing.

This is Eastons newest art project. We were having all the family over on Sunday to celebrate thanksgiving since Rulon and Kathy would be gone to Mexico on thanksgiving day. While I was hustling around getting everything ready this is what happened. Easton came to me and said " I need some paper so I can color". Okay here you go, sit in front of daddy and make sure to ONLY color on the paper. I gave him colored pencils, where he found this permanant black marker I have no idea. I just happend to hear him say "Mason I am going to color my nose too." I went running over and to my surprise here is what I found. The picture doesn't do it justice. Eastons cheeks are dotted along with his hands and feet, and Masons's head, hands, back of his neck and face were colored. Our family arrived about 2o minutes later. It wore off 2 days later.

It is surprising how fast things happen...the good and the bad. I am trying to remember to laugh and enjoy these little moments. Sometimes it is harder than others because it is always when you are in a whirlwind trying to get the house in order and as soon as you finish one room they are right behind you messing it up. However it is fun to get pictures you can laugh at.

Cute, CUTE boys that fill my life with JOY... I love you so much!!!!!

Madagascar 2

We took the boys to see Madagascar 2 and loved it. We had a great time eating popcorn and candy, and the boys LOVED the BIG screen.

I even have a new theme song from the movie for myself that I am quite fond of- actually it is quite fitting-Big & Chunky! Here is a little taste of what the song says: "I like ‘em big I like ‘em chunky I like ‘em big I like ‘em plumpy, I like ‘em round, With something, something, So nice and sassy... I love every inch, Oh yes I do, I like em' chunky, chunky, chunky Plumpy, plumpy, plumpy. Girl your crazy, she drive me crazy, I like my lady, she nice and shapely, ain't nothing wrong with lovin chunky." RIGHT- oh yeah this is a great song I seem to grow like 2 inches a day. I can't believe how big I am getting and how FAST... wow! Nothing wrong with being chunky ohhh yeah just love it.

It's a good thing my hubby loves me even when I am in my "GLORIA-fied" hippo like state. He likes my hippo size and does a great job of telling how great and beautiful I look ( I don't see it). Thank the heavens above I have a man like him.

I'm so glad when daddy is home

Our theme song these day is I am so glad when daddy comes home. The boys are ready for the hunting season to be over and get their daddy back. Who can blame them look at all the fun things he does when we do see him.

He lets them take his pictures.

Throws them up so HIGH!

They get to wear his BIG boots.

The real fun begins when they head outside...They shoot bow and arrows. Easton is really good at this believe it or not. Grandpa Larry just pointed out that Easton is a left handed shooter just like him. Kinda cool since everything else he does is right handed, Grandpa Larry is the same.

They shoot firecrackers-shhshhh it was WAY past firecracker season.

They are really good slingshooters too. Easton loves the story of David and Goliath.

Like father---like son.

He even lets Easton use his hunting knife. With supervision of course.

Easton has a few necessities that go EVERYWHERE with us. The list is: Bow and 3-5 arrows, plastic real looking knife, sword, gun, and an assortment of little whatevers. Oh yeah and his "pak-pak".

We sure love our daddy and are really looking forward to getting him back to us. HIP HOP HOORAY just a few weeks away.

Girls just want to have FUN!

This is the house we stayed at in Deer Valley. You can ski right to the lift in the winter. Gorgeous home.

Dinner on Main street in Park City

Charlotte and Brikelle

We broke out the ladder to change a battery in the chirping smoke alarm.

We all went for a girls night out to Park City. It was a BLAST to say the least. Holly's friend owns this amaizing home in Deer Valley and was sweet enugh to let us stay there. Every bedroom is a MASTER SUITE, there was a hot tub and sauna. We had a great time, shopping, eating, and talking. It is our annual get away that is always needed and always FUN. Next year we are planning a spa day at the Stein Erickson Lodge, so if you want to come let me know. Our motto is "the more the merrier."
Thanks for a wonderful time girls...can't wait until next year!

Happy Halloween 2008
