Pumpkin Carving

This is our set up outside. Buddy and Burton did the skeleton and Madilyn and I did the scary clown.

Getting it set up and Maddi and I carving.

We have continued the tradition and carved pumpkins tonight. It was a blast. Burton had lots of fun and Maddi liked how it flet to squish the guts in between her fingers.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Maddi has finally conquered the sitting up... and tomorrow she will be 9 months old. Where does the time go. Maddi is also scooting around and who knows when she'll totally become mobile. We still are toothless which is fine because we are still nursing partially lol. We had a Dr. visit last week she's been having a nasty cough and I couldn't fight it anymore so we went in and she has a sinus infection, and now is on antibiotics. Other than that Maddi is all well and a happy little girl. Burton is getting excited for his upcoming birthday and since I asked him what he wants and what kind of cake he wants all I hear is I want this and I want that at my party mom. Right now we are having 3 different cakes and all the toys on the commercials from Nick, Disney and Cartoon Network. GO figure. He is getting so smart and catching on to all the little things we say. I think my favorite thing he copies is "shhhh you're driving me nuts!" Is that bad I tell my children that... its all out of love at least right :) This pic of Burton is at my birthday dinner at Texas Roadhouse and he is wearing the birthday hat. Silly kid. I am very blessed to have the kids I do I sure love them.

My house sure has been busy the last 2 months. We have been moving and going to school and working and just finished midterms so we have barely had the time to breathe. I am hoping things start to slow down a little so we can catch up and maybe my kids won't grow as fast if time slows.... good luck right? Well we love you all and hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

Quick pics

Burton and his "super hero jammies" It has a cape and yes he runs all over the back yard with the cape on :)

Maddi and her toys... she is actually playing with them and not just eating her feet
Burton and Maddi, they love each other they smile and laugh at eachother all day long

And then just an updated pic of me my hair is getting really long, trying not to cut it, but it is getting harder every day

Summer and Madilyn is seven months!

Well its been ages, but I am writing a quick post. We are all doing wonderful. Getting ready to move out of my mom's. I have officially packed my first box. I am working for a criminal defense law firm in downtown Idaho Falls. It is a great office. Very nice people. Burton is running around, we are going through the super hero stage. Grandma Lisa bought him some jammies with a cape so trying to stay up on the laundry of that pair of jammies has been a task. I am going to have to invest in another pair or two for him. That and he finds towels all over and will bring the towel and a hairband to you and say "SUPERHERO". He is so cute and full of energy. Madilyn is rolling around everywhere and eating solids now. She is growing so fast. She is seven months today. I can 't even believe that I am saying that. The second child grows so much faster than your first. :( Buddy and I start school the 24th of August. So just short of 2 weeks! I am so excited to go back to school and get back with my school friends :) I really enjoy the program I am in. I am taking 5 classes this semester a big jump from my 2 last semester but also not as many as last fall as I was taking 7. Buddy is taking his prereq's for the Surgical Technician program. He is really excited and nervous all at the same time. It has been 6 years since he has been in school. Other than that this summer has been full of swimming, fishing, walks, bbqing, playing at the park, fireworks, blowing bubbles, going to weddings, bowling, baking cookies (with Burton and mom) and one trip of camping (which Burton enjoyed except for the sleeping in a tent. He kept screaming I want my bed!). All is well in our world, hoping everything is well in yours! Sending our love

My sister and her family came up to Idaho Falls last weekend for her birthday and while they were here Melissa and I took our boys to the playland in the mall where they had a blast! We would have gone to the park but hmm spring break and it was SNOWING go figure right? So here are the kids playing like maniacs!









When we returned home we washed our hands very well as you would if you were to look at all the yucky kids with diseases who play there! I wonder if they ever sanitize these toys??? HMMM... wonder.....
