Happy Birthday to my Boys!!!

I love that my boys birthdays are 3 days apart...it's an excuse for a whole week of celebrating!!! We decided to make it a tradition and my parents reserved the SLCC institute gym (where dad works). We had the entire basketball court, ping pong, air hockey, pool tables, volleyball nets, and movie screen to ourselves:) We had yet another dance party and moved on to some crazy tornado games. Cash received his "Lightning Keen" four wheeler and my Mom made Toby his favorite Mud Pie for Desert. SO fun. Then Sunday we had a WONDERFUL dinner at Todd and Kathy's along with a fun birthday party for Tob and Cash. Any time you started to sing Happy Birthday to Cash he joined right in and started to sing to himself. He even would say "...dear Cash". It was really cute. In fact he's still doing it. And if you ask him how old he is...he'll say three. (He's two) I LOVE my two boys more than any girl could possibly love any two boys.:) Happy Birthday TOBY and CASH!!!! (thank you Tory and Janie for sending him his spider man stuff...he was so excited!)

Shopaholics

Who in their right mind would wake up at the break of dawn...pull both kids out of bed...and wait in line to be one of the first 50 customers at Old Navy that morning? Jami and I would! Especially if that meant getting an additional 50% off anything and everything in the store. Our hearts and our carts were full:)

Halloween 2009

HIGHLIGHTS 1.Wimmer Halloween Party at the Farm: The kids absolutely love this party! It would have been well worth the drive just to see JD and Ashley's costume...I still laugh just thinking about it - Such a fun day 2. Downs Family Halloween Party: Another favorite...we played bingo, ate doughnuts from a broomstick without hands, bobbed for apples, and danced all night to "men in black" "thriller" and "party in the usa" - and gave lots of hugs..if only you could have been a fly on the wall in our basement that night ;) 3. Halloween Night: Everyone was sick for the 3rd Halloween in a row!!! I really didn't want Elle to miss out on another year of Trick or Treating so we bundled the kids up and took em out! They were little troopers and didn't want to stop. Cash didn't want to be held and wanted to hold on to his own little pumkpin the whole way. They were so cute and said Trick or Treat and Thank you so politely every time as they'd reach in the peoples buckets themselves...ahhh! 2 for 3 isn't bad. Once when Brooklyn got tired and started to cry a little Elle told her, "Why are you crying Brooklyn?! Halloween is the best night of Everyone's Life!!!" Pretty close. 4. Elle was so sweet...she wanted to be a princess this year but when she saw "spider-girl" (cash LOVES spider man so that was a given)she changed her mind so her and Cash could be "the same". Pretty cute.

"It's finally FALL today!"

Elle's been waiting for Fall to come FOREVER and today there were leaves on Grandma's lawn so she said, "Yes Mom!!! It's finally fall today!!" When it's not fall they jump in my piles off laundry and pretend those are leaves...even after the clothes are folded...so I'm happy they have some real leaves to jump in:) I know it's fall because we just got done taking family pictures last week outside and it was freezing!!! Pictures to come...

6 YEARS!!!

Tob and I celebrated six years on Oct 11th! At times it seems like it's flown by and other times like it's been forever...and both are a good thing. We celebrated with our tradition of eating at the Melting Pot aka my favorite restaurant ever. Why is that place so dang good? And another shout out to TJ for the amazing hook up. We ate cheaper there than if we had gone to Mcdonalds. Here is a pic of us when we got the bill. :) Thanks for 6 wonderful and FUN years Tob!!!

Preschool Fieldtrip to Cornbellys

For Elle's first preschool fieldtrip (which by the way I think it so neat and fun to do) her class met up at Cornbelly's. Her and her little friend Hope looked so cute in their little matching shirts...and Cash and Caymbree were thrilled to tag along with their big sisters. Jami and I headed down there with all the kids and our subway meals and had a great time watching the kids have a great time. That's what it's all about, right? :)

Best Friends

I just heard Elle say, "Oh Cash. I just LOVE you." I can't tell you how much I LOVE that! There's something about watching your kids be best friends. Elle is so cute to watch out for Cash and take care of him...and Cash just cries when Elle goes to preschool, dance, or to play with a friend. He mimicks every little thing that she does. They make each other laugh all the time and I hear them say, "you're funny" to each other all the time, although Elle's version is a lot clearer:) I looked over in the car the other night and caught a picture of them holding hands...(I wasn't the one driving) They really are best little friends.
