A Pumpkin Day!

Today was busy and very fun as both Brooklynn and Ty had field trips to pumpkin patchs. I opted to go with Brooklynn and had the fun of bringing Asay along (kendra if I spelled her name wrong I suck and I'm sorry I can never remember!). The girls had lots of fun and the music in the montage reminded me of how fast all the kids were running around!

Tyler also and fun and picked a great pumpkin all by himself! It was a fun morning for both of them.

My Boys!

So I thought I would post this cute picture of Tyler before he went to school today. He is getting so grown up. Today was hat day, so he wore his T-Ball hat. Yesterday I had my first Parent-Teacher conference. His teacher said he is doing great and we are most proud of him

As for my other boy, now that he is "crawling" he is into everything. Today he found a pen that fell on the floor. I didn't think he could click it open, but I was wrong. So, Josh was attacked by a pen today thanks to his very own self. What a nut! He also figured out how to climb up the one step I have in my house however, he could not figure out how to climb down.

The Crawl

Josh discovered his own version of crawling today. Here is a short clip of it. He was really ticked off because he wanted a bottle. It is really cute because he kind of jumps both knees at the same time.

Memories....

So today as I was filing through my old photo albums, I found a few gems that I felt the need to share. There are many more where these came from, but I could only pick a few. I was saddened to learn that somewhere in the endless abyss of boxes in my garage I cannot find a box with some of my photo albums and year books. I am now on the hunt for it. So without any more ramblings here they are!

So, this one is me and Marilee (incase you didn't know). I believe I went down to visit her at BYU one weekend to take the ACT. Marilee do you have a copy of that picture of us up on your shelf?) You have to love the hair and the bright yellow and red plaid shirt. Julie, remember this one? I think this was a stop in Helena Montana on our way to BYU my sophomore year. In fact, I think this was actually the day before I met Steve. Julie and I were driving in my car and we decided it would be funny to turn our clothes backwards while we were driving.

This is one of my favorites because it perfectly captures TJ as the punk he was before his Mission. Well, I guess he is still a punk, but not in the same way. This is long before he and Julie even met. The girls all loved he and he's Garth Brooks singing self.

And finally, I just love this picture. It is of me and my Granddad! It is one of the only ones I have of me and him. Cute right - and boy was he one handsome Granddad.

A little update!

Things have been busy around our house. Josh is keeping me on my toes. The kid can't crawl yet, but he really doesn't need to because he can roll all over the place and get where he wants to go. He figured out that he can sit up all by himself and because of that has found himself stuck in a few tight spots. For instance, under the table, he really can't sit up under there, but thought it would be a good idea to try, then he couldn't get back down. And then of course our trash hugger.




His ears continue to be a problem. We are on our fifth Antibiotic since August and if he isn't sick of it I am. I think we will head to the ENT (ear nose throat Dr.) soon. He has also been referred to a Gastrointerologist (I think that is right) for his contstant "spitting up" or reflux problem. He went for his 9 month well baby today and is more than caught up on his size. He is now a typical Steve and Heather baby, long and skinny. Although I don't think he would be this skinny if he didn't constantly eject all his food from his tummy.

This is just a cute pic of Brooks at the park with "Adventure Bear." It is the Bear from pre-school and the kids take it and then make a journal entry about.















Finally, here is a dumb pcitre of me and Steve. We went to a corn maze the other night for and Elder's Quorum party. We took the winning prize and got through it in 8 minutes. 

Sunday Afternoon Fun!

Nothing too exciting has been going on with us this week, just regular stuff. You know take Ty to school, pick him up, take Brooks to school, go to target, run errands - really the usual. Tyler did get his first Homework this week. Brooklynn stayed on her feet for the most part. Joshua is still trying to figure out the crawling thing.

This afternoon, we played a little Sunday afternoon football in the "backedard" as Brookie would say. The kids had lots of fun and were able to burn off some of the pent up energy from being in the house all day. Josh also enjoyed the football game from his exersaucer. The weather is finally perfect, not too hot and not too cold. We'll start getting fog soon, so we have to enjoy it while we can!

I can't forget giving a shout out to JD helping Steve get the nasty Pigeon Nest of the roof, helping clean all the bird doodoo off and spraying out the rain gutters too! You are the best JD and your "high maintanence" friends thank you!
