Happy Birthday Boys!!

Well today is Carson and Dylan's 7th birthday! It's amazing how time flies and I can't believe my babies are growing up so fast! I remember the day they were born like it was yesterday. It was a really emotional day not only because we became parents for the first time but because we didn't know if our little Carson was even going to make it through the night! I wasn't able to see him until 24 hrs. later and even then it was only for seconds. The first 4 weeks we spent our time back and forth from the hospital and being home taking care of Dylan, it's not what you expect when having your first baby or babies. Being a first time mom I had no idea what to expect or what we should do! I'm just glad we were in a place were all the doctors and nurses new exactly what they were doing and new what was best for our babies! I look back at that day and I'm in total amazement that my boys have grown into the boys they are. They are so grown up and becoming more independent! We have come a long way since 7 years ago when our family began! I just want to say Happy Birthday Boys! I love you and I am so grateful to have you both in my life! I wouldn't have wanted it any other way!

So here are some pictures of the boys when they were I think 4 or 5 weeks old.(The pics of them when they were first born aren't on cd's or on my computer, so I will have to find them later and post them, they were sooo tiny!!)

Brotherly Love:)

Carson looked like a baby doll

They boys had their friend birthday party last night at Roy's Pizza. I made this cake to resemble a pizza, I think I did pretty dang good! haha They had soooo much fun with all of their friends and of course scored in the toy department! I'm glad we aren't getting them any toys for Christmas cuz they really don't need them.

Carson was in a hurry to open all his presents

Just a little behind!

So I'm a little behind on our 2008 Halloween adventures, but better late than never! The kids had their school Halloween parade that goes down main street. Carson was soooooo embarrassed to have everyone look at him, little does he know they all probably really didn't care! Later in the day we went trick-or-treating around the neighborhood with Whitney and her kids and 3 of Chrissy's kids. They had fun but I was worn out by the time we got done! Later Chrissy took my boys over to her wards trunk-or-treat which the boys thought was kinda weird cuz they said they didn't know anyone! I caught up with them later and left Kelly home to hand out candy!Later that night we went to manti to Stockman's Grill with some friends and all the kidos. They had this lady up on the little stage singing(which was kinda weird) she had a air guitar contest and Kevin got to go up and try his hardest at his best air guitar! It was hilarious!! The next day the school had their annual Halloween carnival which we couldn't miss. I was extremely sick and had to leave my mom there to be with the kids. They had a blast, even after begging to go through the spook alley(which on Whits blog you can see Dylan's reaction after coming out!) All in all we had a good Halloween and now we are looking forward to birthdays for the boys and heading to St. George for Thanksgiving!!

This is the hand in the punch bowl I did for daycare.

Jazz Game!

So we surprised the boys last night and took them to the season opener for the Utah Jazz! Of course we sat in the upper bowl cuz we can't quite afford those $100+ tickets to sit in the lower bowl(x4 people). We did however get there early enough to get some autographs and pictures of some of the players. The boys were way excited to do that.....their dad on the other hand was pretty embarrassed waiting to get their autographs! He said he felt like he was begging to get them....hello, thats part of their job right?? The opening of the game was awesome! It went pitch black and we all had glow sticks(which they gave to everyone when they came in) and it looked pretty cool! They of course introduce the starting line up for the jazz and for each person they let off huge fireworks!(and when your inside a enclosed building...you think the entire thing is going to come down! It was LOUD!!) Dylan was a little scared but Carson could care less! They also gave everyone a deck of playing cards and they had some of the jazz players on them, the boys thought they were pretty neat! We didn't get home til after midnight so the boys were pretty tired this morning when they had to get up and go to school, oh well it was definitely worth it! We all had a great time and can't wait til we go again (hopefully sooner than later) Here are some of the many, many pictures I took of the game so enjoy!!

Shocked!!

Well as many of you know we have had many struggles in our life in having more children. The twins will be 7 next month and we have been trying for many years and still nothing! I had come to terms with not having anymore babies and just being happy and grateful for the children I do have. I had decided if we can't have anymore kids then I might as well just go get on birth control. So that I did. I went to the doctor and they of course had to do a pregnancy test(which I'm not to fond of doing cuz it's pointless) The nurse which I had gone to school with and know pretty well came busting into the room jumping up and down and was saying your pregnant, your pregnant!! I said oh shut up, whatever!! Then she was like no I'm serious your really pregnant!! As all of you can imagine I was pretty much in shock! Not what I was expecting when I went to the doctor that day! I haven't really believed it cuz it's just too surreal! I went and got an ultrasound done yesterday and that is when I was like....Holy crap I'm really having another baby(and yes it is only ONE!!) I wasn't going to tell anyone except family for a while but my hubby had told some friends of his and I thought before the word got out I should tell everyone before they all heard it from someone else. So it's official, I'm PREGNANT!!

Vegas!!

So we are back from our Vegas adventure! It was nice to get away for a few days without kids! The boys stayed in St. George with grandma and had their own little party there! Well we aren't huge gambling people so we didn't even spend one nickle on gambling! I know your all thinking, you go to Vegas and you don't even gamble? I just can't throw away my money into those stinkin slots and get nothing in return. We mostly go for the shows. We went to the Criss Angel "Believe" show at the Luxor. It was amazing!! We couldn't bring our cameras in with us so there are no pictures for that! But it is definitely worth the money to go and watch. We also went to the Tournament of Kings at the Excalibur! The food was good and the men on the horses... can I just say WOW they are HOT!! The boys really would have enjoyed going to that show,(because of the horses not the men!) I took some pictures but my camera freakin sucks! We walked from the Excalibur down to the Venetian, and boy was that a walk! We took a gondola ride and the lovely guy sang us a romantic Italian song! Oh how sweet! NOT! It was actually kinda embarrassing! The ride was fun and not to expensive. We did a lot of walking, eating, and of course shopping! We went to the M&M shop and the Coke store!(we always buy something from those stores) In the Excalibur they have this bar/restaurant called Dick's! It was totally out of our element! The people were loud, crazy and obnoxious! They make these hats for you that have some pretty obscene words on them! On Kelly's hat it said... Hi I'm bubbles! My hat said...I love blowing bubbles!HAHA Some of the others were pretty funny and too obscene to share! All in all we had a really fun time in Vegas and look forward to going again next year!

TAG!

So I got tagged. Go to your 4th picture folder and then your 4th picture and post. Then you need to tag 4 people. This picture was when we were up in Ogden visiting Brandon and Lindsee(I think about a year ago) and we went to the Ogden Dinosaur Park. The boys had a blast visiting Jaxon. I'm guessing in the picture, Dylan must have done something to Carson by the look on their faces! Now I tag who ever wants to do it!!

Free Handbag!!

So there is this website that is giving away free designer handbags! To celebrate the October 15, 2008 launch, they are giving away a free handbag every hour for 24 hours on the day of the launch. Their high fashion, trendy handbags are priced between $30 and $80.

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday Kelly! His birthday was yesterday the 10th and he turned the big 32(wow that number just keeps going up!!) Anyways, he is such an amazing husband to me and a wonderful father to our two boys and is always there when I need him (which is pretty much all the time) I really wouldn't know how to function without him! So happy birthday and I Love You!!
