Do we have too many trains?

"Grayson is the Cutest Mormon"

that's what Xavier said to me Sunday morning after getting Grayson dressed.

Halloween Preview - Spooktacular

We have never gone to the zoo's "Spooktacular" before, I swear every year its just on Sunday but this year it was on Saturday and Sunday. But then when we got there the director told us that its always on both days. Why I did not know this, I have no idea but whatever!

We had a busy Saturday with practice for the Primary program, double baptism, and a church tour with the missionaries. (For all those non-members out there, if your curious of what a church tour is, we can hook you up! How's that for a missionary plug.)

After all that, we hurried home to get dressed up for the zoo. We had a Star Wars theme this year. With a Yoda...
an Anakin Skywalker..
a Captain Rex Stormtrooper and a Jawa (who with his gun looks more like a pissed off monk but he's still cute!)
All 4 of them...although after I took this pic I realized that they look like they are preparing to sacrifice Yoda. I assure you, that was not the case. Yoda is safe in his baby swing.
My favorite part of the zoo was Aiden shooting all the animals. Here he is killing the otters, just for you Aunt Kelly.
I tried to capture it on video but I could never get him to do it when it was on. Here's the best one I got.


And yes, after he shoots them, he yells bye.

Stomping

Aiden does this thing where he stomps around the living room and runs into the wall. It is so loud you can hear it in any room of the house. The video doesn't do the sound justice.

Justin Bieber vs New Kids On The Block

Today the boys asked me if I liked Justin Bieber. I said, "Honestly boys, I don't know anything about Justin Bieber. I couldn't tell you one song that he sang." They both replied, "Oh momma, every girl in my class loves Justin Bieber." Then Xavier said, "I bet if they had to pick between Justin Bieber or New Kids on the Block, the New Kids would totally win." And Damon said, "Of course they would, there are 5 of them and only one Justin Bieber."

Our Fun Day

Adam has had some great things happen the past couple of weeks so his boss gave him Friday afternoon off. Since it wasn't raining like it was predicted, we went for a little hike with the boys. We decided to take them to the "Top of the World" which is also where Adam proposed to me just 13 years and 1 month ago.




We also had a fun trip to the mall, that included looking for a store that is no longer there, the bread store, driving through the Chevy dealership to look at a new car I want, and finishing with some chinese food for dinner. For such a simple day we really had a good time and I don't think we had to break up a fight once.
Although my favorite part, driving around town, listening to Maroon 5 and all of us singing along. I don't know if that is really appropriate or not for the boys but it was a lot of fun.

Grayson - 2 months

2 months have gone by with this little guy as a member of our family. He is starting to smile and coo and do all that good stuff that babies do as they get older. The best part, HE IS SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT! YEAH! He now sleeps about 7-8 hours at night, take a quick bottle and go back to sleep for a couple more hours. Since I have suffered from some major sleep deprivation, it is the best thing he could have given me! (I've had migraines, vision problems, could not remember or concentrate on things, passed out, and had my face swell up from fluid which made me look like I got some bad plastic surgery and collagen injections!)

He went to the doctor yesterday for his 2 month appointment, which also included a round of shots as well. He now weighs 12lbs 2 oz and is 23.5 in. He gained 3 lbs since his 1 month appointment and grew an inch and a half.
