LANDON'S WORK OF ART

So here we have it, Landon's newest work of art. Ya got to love the terrible two's.
Isn't it funny how when you have children you wish for peace and quiet but when it gets quiet you know something is going on and it won't be anything good. Well here it is, the footboard of my bed with yellow crayon. Even though it came off with a lot of scrubbing, you can still see the mark from the wax.



















Its a good thing I was in a good mood that day and was able to laugh about it. Lisa I think you still have one up on me but we definatly have some compitition with our two year olds.

Hunting with Dad

What mighty Hunters! arn't they cute?
Maison camo and all. Ready for the long hike trying to find "THE BIG ONE"!
Braydon taking a bit of a break but still no "BIG ONE"
What troopers! they hiked all day long up hills most of us would never attempt.

One tired boy. He couldn't even make it out of the chair to his bed. What did dad do? Whish he could make them that tired at home.

Landon's experiment with the electrical socket

So here was the excitement for today. I was getting the boys ready for school when I hear Landon's usual pounding on his bedroom door to get out except this time his scream was a little louder and more urgent so i send Braydon up to open his door. ( since we have to keep a child door knob lock to keep him in his room at night.) Braydon comes running down the stairs telling me that the light is not working and neither does the plugs he only knew this because the music box light was off. So i assume that a lightbulb is burnt out and the music box is unplugged, but i decide to check it out anyway. This is what i found. As I see this, Landon as serious as a 2 year old can be, sais, "MOM! BOKEN! YIGHT!
So there ya go a nice blown up socket. Landon thinks it is fun to pull the night light in and out of the plug and then put the cover back on it. well the cover had a metal bar that he put directly on the metal part of the plug that was part way plugged in and well you see it. Luckily Brandon put a safty ground breaker in the bedrooms just for this reason so if your children are like mine and put things where they don't belong the breaker flips saving your child from a terrible shock. Needless to say there was still a burnt spot but a safe little boy and no fire. Thank goodness! Yes this i'm sure is only the begining of Landon's future adventures since he is by far my most accident prone kid.

Trip to Idaho Falls

Last weekend my sister Janet and I decided to make a quick trip to Idaho Falls to see my BFF Sarah. It was the longest ride up there because all the kids did the entire time was fight. we thought we were going to go crazy. But we made it without dropping any of them off the side of the road although we would have loved to. I have not seen Sarah for over two years and missed her terribly. We became friends about 7 years ago when Sarah moved into the house behind us in our first Tooele house. We became best friends soon after that. She then moved away but we stayed in touch. When Brandon got transfered to Phoenix we moved there and 6 months later Sarah moved there with us living with us for about 3 weeks until she found a place. Our friendship grew into more like sisters. We were inseperable. To make a long story short we have been best friends since and even though we don't get to see each other often we still stay in touch. We of course moved back to Tooele and She moved back to her home town Idaho Falls. so any how we had the best time catching up on everything we missed and the kids had a blast. They acted as though they see each other every day. They are all the best of friends. Sarah and I as always stayed up until 2 in the morning just talking about anything and everything. Janet got a little tired and fell asleep around midnight. We had so much fun we hated to leave but as always good things always have to come to an end. The ride home was thankfully pleasant the kids slept most of the way and actually stayed interested in watching dvd's. What a great weekend. Hope to see you soon Sarah. Enjoy the pictures below. What cute kids!!!
