Cute boys

Oh  my! I need to be better at this blogging thing. I have so many things that have been happening that are worth writing down.
Of course my Cute Boys are always worth writing about they are THE best thing that has happened to Patrick and I. I love them both so dearly.
I never realized how challenging life would be with children but, I do have to say every bit of it is SO worth it.

Cute Boys

 Oooh how cute I thought they were when they got into my favorite expensive eyeshadow. Not only was it a total loss but it was all over the floor and all over both of them. I was so mad at the time, but now that I am over it look how CUTE they were.

Gabriel watches me put makeup on so he knows were it goes on the eyes!

They were both so proud.

Look at Foster. He knows how to get him a bath.

caught red sparkly handed.

Ya he was proud.

 Gabriel loves to play bowling on the Kindle. He decided to set up his own set with drink cups and a basket ball. Creative little man. Look at them playing they are cute boys. If they miss they say whaa whah wah.

#2

Today has been a good day. Patrick had the day off of work. We did not have big plans his Dad came over to help us put up a fence around the back yard.
When I put my boys down for a nap Patrick made the comment that it sounds like the boys are saying YUCKY and giggling. Sure enough it was YUCKY! and that is an under statement. Gabriel had pooped in his underwear and had been finger painting on the very textured wall.
Ya that was a fun thing to find. I got him up and into the bathroom to get him cleaned up. I put him in the shower (he hates to shower) I explained that he has to shower because it is YUCKY to paint with poo. It took a good half hour to get it all cleaned up before I could get him down for a nap. I do have to say I wish I could figure out how to get my boys to poo in the toilet. otherwise they are potty trained.
I guess this goes in to the story book of poo like Jamie's Madison finger painting poo in the top shelf of her very tall closet. AS well as Madison and Jordan running around the house throwing poo at each other. Some times little kids are so gross.

good advice

Yesterday we went to the pet store to get some supplies to clean our fish tank we got last month for the boys. When we were leaving this very kind old mad gave some good advice. He said to cherish the moments the boys are young. What matters are the memories in your heart. He also recommended that I journal at least 5 sentences per day and those will bring back the memories for that entire day. He said I know we are strangers but I do it and it works. He was very kind with good advice. Because of him and talking about journals it reminded me how my Grandpa Kimball use to journal. I remember him writing in his black day timer when we would go visit. Thanks to that old man I got to have a memory brought up about my Grandpa and his love.

tie dye

On September 1, 2012 my My mom and my sister Jamie and her children Jordan, Madison and Korbin along with their 2 foreign exchange students Sakie and Thomas came up and we tie dyed t-shirts. It was so much fun all the shirts we made. Than I had pick up the free Edible Wasatch Magazine and found the best homemade pizza dough recipe I have ever had, I do not ever want to buy pizza again I want to make my own from now on and it was fun.

Time to tie!

Ready set dye!

Gabriel got in on the action!

shirts before the rinse!

rinsing!

The finished product!

Korbin turns 5! Pool Party

Ok so Korbin turned 5 and we went to his Grandpa Mathews house for a pool party to celebrate. I can not tell you how much fun I had so I am just going to share photos.

our home

recycle old front door knob!

We did it we moved back into my Hubbys child hood home and thanks to Pintrest I have been having so much fun putting up pictures and hanging quotes and upcycling or recycling some of the things I have. I am loving all my things and my home all the more! The thing about Pintest is that it makes me feel so creative but than what? How do I follow through! Well I have done the little things! Like old door knob pulls idea at urbanoutfitters! All the quotes, picture arrangement. Oh the IDEAS! I do have to mention that it can be bad on the figure because I have made cookie dough to just eat and mug brownies, brownie-in-a-mug. Some times easy is bad!

family pictures with quotes!

collage with room to grow! (I know it is sideways but I could not figure how to rotate once in blogger)



Vinyl on mirror closet bought at k-mart!

On another note the boys and I went to see The Lorx at the Flood Street Theater with their 5 cousins yesterday. They almost made it to the end of the movie. They love to get together with their cousins.

 

The cousins stayed the night at Nana and Papa house so bright and early we went to play with them. That is always fun. Nana and Papa made Plans to go swimming at the Veyo Pool. I love that old pool. It has a good kiddie side. The boys got brave and started to jump off the side step in the pool into Nana and my arms. We also raced back and forth with Jordan and Korbin. The boys had an ice cream. When I went to pay for the ice cream Gabriel realized that I was going to get some change. (He LOVES money) I told him he could have the coins the teller handed him the coins and he looks at her and says ohhh thank you! the teller thought he was so cute. I think that made his day. He did not want to share his cone with me. All and all a wonderful day.
