Haunted Forest 2010

Dark tight spaces with zombie's jumping out at us? Yes please.

Scary men in masks chasing us with a chain saw and a blow torch? Yes please.

Endless mazes where we are chased into a corner? Yes please.

Followed up by cheeseburgers, fries and shakes at 9:30 at night? Um, YES PLEASE!



Colby, the little brat, kept shouting "Ladies first!" and shoving me forward in front of him to take the force of the scare impact when someone would jump from the dark. He ought to be kicked.

I love meat!

Colby's school writing assignment to explain what they would be doing for Halloween.

On Halloween my friends and I are not going to do Halloween. Because we will be going up to Park City. And we'll be having SUSHI! I absolutely LOVE sushi. I will die for it. I Love Meat!

I wonder what his teacher's think of him. Half the time I am not even sure what to think.

Little Einstein's

Our FAVORITE show. Drop everything and watch. Please don't block our view or we will get a titch upset.

Thriller!

We went to see the Odyssey Dance Theater perform Thriller at the Covey Art Center this week and it was FANTASTIC! I highly recommend it to anyone. The boys loved it after they got over the creepiness of the dead zombies roaming around the lobby. It was a performance full of funny,morbid and scary (but amusing) Halloween choreographed routines - complete with a creepy self-pitying clown to keep us entertained in between dances.











Did I mention morbid? They worked the "Jason" mask into several of the dances and then sold this sweet, soft and cuddly little teddy bear complete with his own devilish little Jason mask. Colby has been waiting all his life for such a companion, so he purchased one with his saved up money.



Mean Doctor, Sad Baby

We went for the obligatory, but mean none-the-less, 1 year check up for Ryan yesterday. That Horrible-Terrible-No-Good-Doctor gave him 5 shots AND pricked his heel to test for iron.

After we stripped my poor baby down to be prodded, poked and tickled we had to wait for the Doctor to come work his magic. Here we are without clothing, trying to keep out of too much trouble.






After a lot of snuggling and loving, we got Ryan into the bath to soak in some warm water. It seems that warm water and bubbles is the cure for almost anything.





Flag Football 2011

Luke and some of his friends are on a flag football team with none other than Corey coaching at the helm. They completed the season UN-DEFEATED! They won their first game in the post season tournament. They play one more game and if they win then they will be headed to the Super Bowl. The games are a lot of fun. Ryan, Colby and I love to go watch and cheer on the side lines while we chow on popcorn. EVERY game we go to Ryan likes his bag of popcorn and his swedish fish - it's a tradition.

My Little Drunken Pirate

I am raising a sweet little drunken pirate. My angel has recently added walking to the list of his many talents. Also on that list is the thieving and stashing of valuable items. Now if your definition of valuable is anything he can get his grubby little hands on and the definition of stashing is throwing it all into the garbage can, then we are indeed reading the same dictionary. Bless his little heart.



The remote control? Where is a good place for that - why in the garbage can for certain. Take notice of what he does when he sees Luke pull out the mini soccer ball. He used to cry the biggest tears when he first started going to soccer games (when he was just a wee little baby). Something exciting would happen, we would cheer and he would cry. Now he sees a soccer ball and he thinks the appropriate and immediate reaction is to cheer wildly.







He is indeed a clever little chap, in that he has taken to carrying (or thieving if you please) my couch pillows around with him. It does so happen to provide a nice soft spot to land on when gravity pulls him forward, as it often does when one so small carries an object of great proportion around in front of him. Genius I tell you.




p.s. I am not entirely sure why there is no sound with the videos, but it is most certainly not my fault! DeeDee says she gets sound, but I don't - so maybe I am a little to blame but I will deny it profusely if anyone asks.

Join The Rebellion

I am part of a book club and we recently read (of course, like all the other cool book clubs out there) the series of Hunger Games books. We had an assembly of Rebellion Leaders the other night and the District Leader (MeLisa) did a great job with the evening!
~if you haven't read the books you are probably a little in the dark with this blog, sorry. if you have read the books you can appreciate her work.
