I don't know what it is about having children, but I am SO much more excited to do things then I ever was as a single or newlywed! So in that attitude I have been talking Michaels ear off about all the activities we are going to do during the holidays coming up. Pumpkin carving was at the top of the list since this was the closest holiday and we had a blast! I made some edible paint that the boys used for their pumpkin (That was constantly being licked by Hyrum) and Michael and I took a knife to our pumpkin! Seeing as Michael had limited time before work I made a VERY simple (and classic) design and Michael did all the cutting.
Happy Halloween! -in a couple of days :)

Another Fall Day

Another gorgeous day

Since Michael works nights we decided to take the boys to the Park for our FHE. This one has been our favorite park so far-a Big play ground, beautiful trees, a river to look at with a small waterfall and a nice trail to walk on! And I have never experienced a real fall until now! This place is gorgeous!

I held myself back from adding more pictures :)

Jump, Jive and Wail!

Doesn't it look like this boy is in the middle of some good dancing? Michael took this picture so I am not sure what exactly was going on but I thought he looked stinkin cute!

TOO tired

A couple of days ago I was gathering the kids in for dinner when MD informed me at the door of his room that "Dinosaur TOO tired for dinner" then he shut the door in my face. I wasn't havin that so I forced him to come to dinner but shortly afterwards I walked in on this:

I guess he was a bit tired :)

a little before that I had walked in on Hyrum passed out in his High chair:

And on Sunday before I even had a chance to get dinner on the table MD told s again that the dinosaur was tired-drank some juice then layed on the floor and fell asleep.

I sure wish they would be this easy to get to bed!

Family Day

Today we decided that we were going to have a family date day. Michael and I were originally going to go do a session at the Temple so since we were already dressed for it we took the kids along and let the kids explore the Temple grounds. Michael Dunn had a blast running up and down the huge hills behind the temple and Hyrum had a fun time trying to pull flowers up and chase his brother. Both were fascinated with the fountains and spent a good deal of time watching them. Afterwards we took them to the store and let them both pick out one treat-Both picked out a HUGE tootsie roll sticks that were 50 cents each. We came home and put the kids down for a nap then when they woke up we took them outside and let them run around for an hour. Afterwards we went out to town again and picked up a pizza! I really enjoyed the day and I am so glad we included our children in on our date!

Museum Fun

We were invited to a playdate taking place at the Museum to watch a reptile show and look at the animals by a friend of mine. MD, who I expected to scream when the show was going on (Since lets face it he ran away screaming and crying the last time a turtle turned towards him) surprised me by having a blast. In some instances he was down right pushy as he elbowed his way to the front to pet a snake, lizard and even the dreaded turtle. He also surprised me by being vocal and interactive-something he struggles with especially around other people. It was so fun to watch my kids come alive and see their enjoyment!



Thanks for the invite Carrie!

Doggy want Cheerios

Oh MD I am so glad I get to see this little game that you play.

All Aboard the Mommy train!

Anyone out there seen the show dinosaur train? Well since it has dinosaurs it is MD's favorite show to watch ( I actually just recently found out that they watched it because they only watched it when there daddy gets up with them-but now MD gets to watch it everyonce in awhile with mommy too :)


MD:Mommy-wanna wide yo back! wanna wide!
