I had looked forward to this trip for at least 1 year. Every moment when I thought I just might loose it I thought, its okay I am going to visit my parents all by myself for 5 days. Just knowing that one day relief from life was coming helped me get through each day. When the time finally came it was better than even expected. I slept!!! I slept till at least 11:30 one day. It was truly <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">amazing</span>. We shopped, we ate (at really really nice <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">restaurants</span>), we went to see Grease and met Taylor Hicks, we shopped some more, we sat in the jacuzzi, we did what we wanted when we wanted. I can never thank my parents enough for my vacation from reality. They just might have saved me from loosing my mind. I am so glad that we all got together for our little girls + dad trip. I recommend it to all!Our Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14504263149226637748noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7300208410119624554.post-2562155209434889232009-07-07T22:03:00.000-07:002009-07-07T22:20:05.308-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj32naWC3Xr7JUtXn2P81eG3BNkQetbpCEx1vuN-pOZketWGQB7hjjDEPWxxYWW9OVZpo_Tws1qTbh4RYIAd02Gxqb5QWj4q5jShg5cCc0q2KXZApYcagqpAl-RXv1tOVnQlD2c0ovLgOlF/s1600-h/DSCF3584.JPG"><img style="display:block;

We had a lot of fun. The boys love riding their dirt bikes and 4 wheelers. It was definitely a fun filled weekend for all. We had few mishaps which is odd for us. Usually all of our trips are full of mishaps and multiple problems. Its actually a wonder we ever leave the house. Last time we took the trailer and 4 wheelers out Matt lost the keys to the trailer which lead to going into town for bolt cutters. I hope one day we will be able to look back and think all these happenstances are funny! Anyways, Talan turned 3!!! I can't believe my little Talan is growing up. We all wore our army gear for the 4th to show our pride in America. Tyler looked like a little military man in his army garb while shooting his water gun. Talan was so excited for his presents the anticipation has been building for weeks. So when it came time to open presents I though he would be so excited over his much anticipated power glide scooter. No, no, he showed the most excitement over the card his Grandparents gave him which played music when opened and a chap stick we gave him. Why is it that the dumbest of things always captures the most emphasis?? Anyways, the kids loved the fireworks. I do to. I think there is something super special about fireworks. Oh well, a new day, a new dollar as my dad says.

My boys <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">LOVE </span>to bowl. It was kind of a last minute decision to go so when we got there the kids were a little wild and crazy. The pure excitement of going to the bowling ally, getting their shoes, and balls was just about to turn into a mothers agony. Kids were running all around, up and down the ally throwing stuffed animals high in the air. Lots of loud is the only correct way to describe it. That is all fine and dandy normally but mixed in the bowling ally with us is a bunch of serious league bowlers who think they are just about God's gift to bowling. Now do you see the problem? I swear I have never felt such annoyance and dare I say hate in the air from people who do not know us. I could tell we were ruining their "sport competition" before we even started to bowl. Now, I am not going to lie, 3 children have kind of put me over my edge at times. I don't know if it is that we had the last 2 so close together or if 3 is just the number for us that makes life difficult but it is near impossible to keep track of all children at all times. I had Trevin glued to my hip and was running around trying to help Tyler, and Talan bowl. Tyler is a great bowler. He really does well and he is at the age that he understands the rules and how to play. Talan is well, besides just being Talan (a menace) he doesn't care. Even if he knows the rules he doesn't quite care enough about them to follow them. So while I was helping Tyler bowl, Talan did what he does best. He caused a scene. He had grabbed a spare bowling ball and threw it down the lane that this league was using. Just to help you picture it, he is little, the ball is heavy so, it is not a quick accident. It was like watching a disaster in slow motion. That ball was probably going a whopping -5 mph. It took at least 1 minute of slow rolling till it hit no pins. I quick started apologizing and scolding of Talan and the people lost it. It was like I had ruined their life. I offered to pay for another game and they would hear nothing of it. Nothing I did could make this problem go away for them. So finally after all solutions offered I walked away. By walking away I mean turning back to the seats directly behind theirs. Thats right, since we were still bowling we were right next to them for the rest of our bowling experience. I could hear them talking about me and us. It made for great fun. So, next time you go bowling, you should look to see if were are anywhere in sight. If we are, run! You don't want to bowl next to the Mower boys of mischief.</div></span>Our Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14504263149226637748noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7300208410119624554.post-64405156381583389462009-04-14T19:25:00.001-07:002009-04-14T19:41:53.466-07:00Easter and Trevin's 1st B-day<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7nlj0kO7xL5SjPQJTszwN0tL9sCYk1nlmvoX9_RecSO5Yhlq7oafEnkOYF0Vm0nv9H3qOUad-SnzE-xBoYR0JnjeOteODBLw1TGMFatqpwdA1VutQquKv35E9E6_-Wn3vGHky_DhQMfku/s1600-h/DSCF3366.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7nlj0kO7xL5SjPQJTszwN0tL9sCYk1nlmvoX9_RecSO5Yhlq7oafEnkOYF0Vm0nv9H3qOUad-SnzE-xBoYR0JnjeOteODBLw1TGMFatqpwdA1VutQquKv35E9E6_-Wn3vGHky_DhQMfku/s320/DSCF3366.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324742821555206098" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD1mlbZbGBFK-Q6oCyINVXBI8um_QB2CFlSmO5WO6OQAfRLdXYsLHRvy2ormv6Ui3vpGod1fT43NjZehHo1IhrkfFCHaI9O8Yd8UmWRh_hM86Bn5dKV5ZOy_vhBR7nJkmJqbHVVyUvCLDY/s1600-h/DSCF3342.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD1mlbZbGBFK-Q6oCyINVXBI8um_QB2CFlSmO5WO6OQAfRLdXYsLHRvy2ormv6Ui3vpGod1fT43NjZehHo1IhrkfFCHaI9O8Yd8UmWRh_hM86Bn5dKV5ZOy_vhBR7nJkmJqbHVVyUvCLDY/s320/DSCF3342.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324739517484035874" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg58r9X7A8U3SbuxphAhs1UFZAmoEq3o3oQjxBwNggzAVB9eh0LcAZJkMMfRTNNgvSPFMLOwXT3WWMm5HMTPpuxuZmGa16S4TdSvp-xgy3bTZPgP53w3kiawIRmFDc9sp-7w5Ec8NBXILSa/s1600-h/DSCF3339.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg58r9X7A8U3SbuxphAhs1UFZAmoEq3o3oQjxBwNggzAVB9eh0LcAZJkMMfRTNNgvSPFMLOwXT3WWMm5HMTPpuxuZmGa16S4TdSvp-xgy3bTZPgP53w3kiawIRmFDc9sp-7w5Ec8NBXILSa/s320/DSCF3339.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324739508498579298" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJS4A7spAvz9IzK0DnO5k65ufE4pTJYd7uhJi_jAUZiBu6DhVGf-mVl436odWtMpU19Htx-WpP8T2oyTT2Y_ltUXtpPCVt1ykvmQJWEtHg0ADqZeFfyaeuooA-MwAdvdlC9hmrR4vckn0w/s1600-h/DSCF3397.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJS4A7spAvz9IzK0DnO5k65ufE4pTJYd7uhJi_jAUZiBu6DhVGf-mVl436odWtMpU19Htx-WpP8T2oyTT2Y_ltUXtpPCVt1ykvmQJWEtHg0ADqZeFfyaeuooA-MwAdvdlC9hmrR4vckn0w/s320/DSCF3397.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324739507136260930" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-h2c7cW2dzsb1Rj0JyYq5FBXktBNhLM1nhwLSOoip0oFqpFDH2Z-FmQjHb67ghixu6H-15-B42ajXxjaViBSZ2mAiJ_rra0VgFFyBSnIlqR9HjOU14h-wqF0Ke6ZYVdZHASSSXbGh6iqG/s1600-h/DSCF3381.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-h2c7cW2dzsb1Rj0JyYq5FBXktBNhLM1nhwLSOoip0oFqpFDH2Z-FmQjHb67ghixu6H-15-B42ajXxjaViBSZ2mAiJ_rra0VgFFyBSnIlqR9HjOU14h-wqF0Ke6ZYVdZHASSSXbGh6iqG/s320/DSCF3381.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324739497779628194" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGIWv_GWMoLFvOO_CWpTatzZuGLbp2qa8DB9FbY6g4xMmyDIIEN_JmLLFurF9zaPAojvDVo_0qJkun5k_EAtD1QVtUcq8QNffoOd-ZxVSPrnOVTY1OWTuEyp_gTf33wJNfdmLSRasGSKUk/s1600-h/DSCF3360.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGIWv_GWMoLFvOO_CWpTatzZuGLbp2qa8DB9FbY6g4xMmyDIIEN_JmLLFurF9zaPAojvDVo_0qJkun5k_EAtD1QVtUcq8QNffoOd-ZxVSPrnOVTY1OWTuEyp_gTf33wJNfdmLSRasGSKUk/s320/DSCF3360.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324739491505735778" /></a><br />Easter Sunday was Trevin's big 1st birthday! I can't believe my little guy is one. It is so great! As a birthday present to his mom, he slept through the night for the first time ever. I can't think of a better present except for the jeans he asked my mother in law for which, he didn't get! If you are wondering, Trevin asked his Grandma Mower for a pair of Seven jeans size 25, dojo cut. We are still waiting Vickie don't you worry we know you will come through for us sooner or later. Tyler and Talan were so excited to dye eggs and to go on an Easter Egg hunt. I love having kids they make holidays so much fun. Matt and I stayed up the night before getting everything just so. We put together the Easter baskets, stuffed the eggs, got food prepared, and put together the sand box that Grandma Gould got the kids for their birthdays this year. We were so excited to get the kids out in the sandbox with all their new sand toys. We wake up and it is snowing! There is no way we were going to play in the sand. Yeah, all that lack of sleep for nothing. That seems about right don't cha think? Talan got his army four wheeler that he has been begging for. Both Tyler and Talan have popped a few tires off the ground so far. Its a good thing it has a kill switch on it. I can already tell that kill switch is going to get its fair use. Tyler is holding out for his dirt bike. It has to be just perfect for him. I swear there are days when I wonder how such a girlie girl like myself got 3 boys well, really 4. I don't know if I would even recognize myself if I went back 10 years and saw myself through a window. All this outdoor stuff, camping, 4 wheelers, Moab, I would probably laugh and say yeah right keep dreaming. I guess all that matters is that my family is happy and whole. A family that plays together stays together.Our Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14504263149226637748noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7300208410119624554.post-48138599975217830052009-04-07T14:47:00.000-07:002009-04-07T15:00:52.431-07:00More Pictures<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZXkw7dH0PNliF6EA6Fr0M0_QqePxx8T0Phsk5ac8M7BASqM9kQlhWUfxftwLW6xrtILfjTpWg7b80SbDvPbl6AE5b9Sm4BzmxipAL4PVxM9kwmXY4VrCarveD6Ko8aiLaUvJZMCavKwQ6/s1600-h/DSCF3246.JPG"><img style="display:block;

We decided that it was warm enough to go camping and take out our four wheelers. The kids couldn't be happier with some dirt, toys, and a campfire. They love every part of camping. We had to leave the decision up to Tyler because he had to choose whether he would be okay with missing pajama day at school. Not only is it hard to miss pj day because Tyler absolutely loves pjs and would probably live in them if possible, but he has uniforms. So, any chance you get to dress different is super exciting. Tyler's teacher told us to take pictures of the wild life. Unfortunately, we only saw a skinned deer that had already decayed and all you saw were the bones and some fur left over. Tyler insisted we take it's picture. I thought about posting it but thought for those faint of heart I should be careful. So, if you know my husband at all you know he is kind of a country boy. We pulled into a small campsite to enjoy our weekend to ourselves. Well, not even 5 hours later two cars with a trailer pull up. Matt is beyond annoyed at this man and what we assume to be his wife. Well, they get up and leave early in the morning but left their camper. We thought well, I guess its not that big of a deal. Later on that day after a fun day of riding, playing, napping, eating, everything good in life. A small neighborhood drives up all with camper trailers and start squeezing next to us. By the end of the night there was at least 10 other cars all with some sort of RV trailer next to us. We might as well have been in a KOA. We went home and got dressed and showered in 30 minutes for Talan to go to one birthday party and Tyler to go to another. Talan was really sad to go because he wanted the toy he was given. Oh the age of being 2 and not understanding birthday parties. From the parties Matt and I met up and a parking lot and headed up to Denver for Motocross. My children loved it. I would recommend it to anyone who has boys. They all had their eyes glued to all the dirt bikes. Even my husband who kept gasping for fear the guys were going to wipe out. It was a fun weekend. It was what a weekend should be, full of fun!<div><br /></div>Our Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14504263149226637748noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7300208410119624554.post-32832990523012327472009-03-17T20:56:00.000-07:002009-03-17T21:04:12.241-07:00Army Ball<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3Ew6z64bdvv9eob7boP931jfRnhZcm3d4ifseMBZdELGgVxWEa3o3kInpDsjZCxtEKfv509RlwjKFTqTNd-DzDdzdeh_1gfM2UTCvWu6WxQuEzzQc_TZEk3r02TVr6MehToXSSnPD7yUI/s1600-h/DSCF3160.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3Ew6z64bdvv9eob7boP931jfRnhZcm3d4ifseMBZdELGgVxWEa3o3kInpDsjZCxtEKfv509RlwjKFTqTNd-DzDdzdeh_1gfM2UTCvWu6WxQuEzzQc_TZEk3r02TVr6MehToXSSnPD7yUI/s320/DSCF3160.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314372016285273122" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyhteAYyEDOw2Sr2EGMn93yuLD2tdXIJIQIos5FXoPMKdGs7Ue_kglRAvYiMKxGjSOPa-9TqKSAduB6yuOcbgnl8bJOxxhD-jG9phFFtmgL254gw9IQfVLT-GfmqqPj1W4EUVWp6VVSlTM/s1600-h/DSCF3158.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyhteAYyEDOw2Sr2EGMn93yuLD2tdXIJIQIos5FXoPMKdGs7Ue_kglRAvYiMKxGjSOPa-9TqKSAduB6yuOcbgnl8bJOxxhD-jG9phFFtmgL254gw9IQfVLT-GfmqqPj1W4EUVWp6VVSlTM/s320/DSCF3158.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314372008550629506" /></a><br />The Army is unlike any experience that we have ever had. We have learned from it and I'm sure our learning curve has yet to peak. We went to our first ball this last weekend and it was quite the experience. Matt was tasked with taking care of the General that was attending the ball so basically, he was a servant for the day. He had to get him drinks, escort him around all day, pick him up from the airport, take him to meetings, pick him up and take him to the ball, etc. I figure, if he can do all that for the visiting General, he should do it for me. You know, massages every night, dinner on the table, everything at my beck and call. Wouldn't that be the life. Anyways, the ball has a wide variety of people who attend, one girl was I kid you not, wearing her wedding dress. Another girl, was in something you would see from Target or some store like that.

It was so fun. The boys especially Talan wouldn't take their eyes off of the trucks. It was really exciting for them. Now Talan and Tyler play monster trucks non stop. I love watching the boys play together because it makes me feel like the boys are friends. I would encourage anyone with little kids to take them if it comes to your area.

In general I like it. I just watched their season opener about a family with 3 boys, 1 with autism. She, did not immunize her 2 younger children for fear of Autism taking over them. I have had many, many talks about immunizations with parents, friends, families, doctors, therapists, teachers, etc. I personally feel like immunizations can be great but they can be great in delayed doses. Give your child a chance to mature before you attack their immune system. In this show parents like me were severely criticized. The doctors talked about reporting parents like me to child services. The show went too far. It may seem like an easy decision to some but till you see the child you know and love slip away from you, people have no right to judge. We gambled big with Ty's therapy and treatments and we won big. We were one of the lucky ones. I would just like to put it out there to whom ever may read this, parents of children with autism love their children so much. We are not evil people who are interested in spreading disease. More often than not, if you see a family with autism in it, the whole family is involved rallying around each other. Think before you judge. Think about your little children or your future little children. How would you feel if your son or daughter sat and lined up their toys without saying a word all day? What if your child never laughed again, never said I love you. What if your child didn't care if you were there or not because they stay in their own world. As a parent we are hardwired to protect your children at all costs. Until you have had to fight for them you never know what you would or wouldn't do. Think twice before you judge.

One of the perks of being military is that our tickets were $5 and we were 3 rows up off of the field. I know, it must make some of you sick to your stomach, this is a rare moment when I can say haha. We packed up the whole family (no small task) and went to the game. We all had several layers of clothes on, kind of making us look like umpa lumpas but hey the only guy I have to impress is my cute husband. I love the Air Force games because you see so much patriotism. My eyes have been opened since we moved here and have been so affected by the military. You start to have a little more pride in the USA and a soft heart for the families that serve in the military. I know, some of you must be thinking well that is probably because you are in the military. Seeing families torn apart because of a war, men and women being sent home injured or worse, or just young people/families enlisting to make something of their lives you gain a new respect. So, when you see the jet planes fly across the stadium its not too far of a reach to think of them oversees on missions. When I hear the national anthem played, I think of soldiers like my neighbor across the street who has been gone from his family for over a year for the 3rd time in 5 years and I am grateful for our freedom. My boys love to see all the soldiers dressed in their different uniforms. Tyler knows exactly which ones are Army and he will tell me there is someone like daddy. I especially love going to games to watch Matt's face lite up. He is so happy when we are there and it makes my heart happy to see him happy. I enjoy the games too. I think I have myself convinced that if I go back to get my masters degree they will definitely let me on the cheer squad and I will be living the life!!!! I mean who wouldn't want a post baby body girl pushing late 20's in a short cheer skirt? I'm sure I am every guys fantasy!!! The boys had a great time. For the most part they did great. I mean you can't really expect to take 3 small boys to a cold football game and have them be perfect the whole time? Talan saw the Cougar mascot and was convinced it was a lion. So, Tyler would cheer go Cougars and Talan would cheer go lions. We made quite the cheering squad. We met up with our friends Jeff and Julie Jorgensen their son, (Matt's claim to fame that he knows a BYU player) Jan Jorgensen plays defense. We stayed after in the bitter cold to talk with him. It is amazing how tall and big those guys are. From the stands I think most guys think, I could play better, I could take him with 1 arm behind my back but, when you see them face to face I think most guys have a come to Jesus moment and re-think their lofty ideas. Jan was so nice as always. Jeff and Julie are truly special people, we are lucky to know them.

It sounds so dumb but, it has usually ended up with children in tears, often not wearing a costume, much anticipation deflated. I always had such a hard time because I would look forward to seeing my child dress up and go trick or treating and it wouldn't happen. As a mom with a child with Autism you have to set standards low. If I have learned one thing that is it. So, my standards were low. We had our Wall E costume and Tyler loved it. Talan decided he wanted to be Jay Jay the Jet Plane so I searched for hours on the Internet. Leave it to Talan to choose a costume that is no longer being made. So, after bidding on multiple costumes on EBay I finally won one. It came he loved it, we were good to go. So, we wake up and go to Dunkin Donuts. My kids love Dunkin Donuts. There are only 2 in all of Colorado Springs instead of 2 on every corner like in Boston so it is a treat for my kids. We get dressed and drive there to find only about half of Colorado Springs is there getting donuts. The line went clear outside around the building. And I just saying, its in not a great part of town, there were weird people twitching in line, and it was all I could do to stand in this line with my 3 little youngsters. But, we did it. We got our orange donuts. Tyler had downed about 3 donuts before he realized that all the other children around were already in their costumes for the day. So, the idea hit him he needed his costume. We rushed home to grab the kids costumes so we could go to Barnes and Noble for reading time. Ty got dressed up and was happy as a clam (how do we really know clams are happy? Just wondering...........) I got out Jay Jay and here come the water works from Talan the child who I don't have lowered standards for. He refused to put on his costume that I spent hours getting. So, Tyler trick or treated around Barnes and Noble and Talan just put a candy bag in people's faces. We ran home for a little down time when Tyler said,"mom where is your pretty princess costume?" I said, Ty I don't have a costume and he was so sad. So, I put on my old cheer outfit. Lets just say I don't know how I wore that short of a skirt that many times in high school. Its probably because now I have more junk in the trunk then I did then!!! And, now having 3 kids the outfit didn't quite fit the same but it zipped which is all that mattered. Oh well, hopefully i will never see those people again. We met up with our neighbors and went trick or treating in old town Colorado Springs. It was almost like a carnival/parade. It was a blast. Tyler had so much fun. Talan pretty much stuck to the stroller and refused his costume for the day. Matt unfortunately got off late so he came straight from work to meet us still in uniform. While it may look like Matt got dressed up he didn't get to which if you know my better half you know he was disappointed. All in all, my Talan wouldn't dress up, Tyler had a blast, Trevin was a very cute and happy fireman, and I relived my past. What could be better?</div><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Our Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14504263149226637748noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7300208410119624554.post-70170688818712811672008-11-02T17:55:00.000-08:002008-11-03T08:38:58.937-08:00Day O Fun<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8ky-tUxFCxHE9il-GKy8P93a0wwYnH23TjiNkwKZ0Bt84JzQolTctBATP71zYwJJBJiBu91C3e0d5FiQ732UpiZK7kUAE1lscy9DB0Lo2r_fGF_xS5z9y3jUJiLglJ-klkku_0_kFMLkc/s1600-h/IMG_0990.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264471577230891874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8ky-tUxFCxHE9il-GKy8P93a0wwYnH23TjiNkwKZ0Bt84JzQolTctBATP71zYwJJBJiBu91C3e0d5FiQ732UpiZK7kUAE1lscy9DB0Lo2r_fGF_xS5z9y3jUJiLglJ-klkku_0_kFMLkc/s320/IMG_0990.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCUNk5EAFM_Q_5V7U3xfLHI_kDfNXI3kYSkMpdN_GAcew7e3WGYaIfchEc1jbJDirMIvMUgUrz7tm101OC-9P74r1RLRZxrDfrF4M2TEtINrm_WdfF2ySeeVSG_76MxTW6ji0gUJq6YAS-/s1600-h/IMG_0987.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264471562198956466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCUNk5EAFM_Q_5V7U3xfLHI_kDfNXI3kYSkMpdN_GAcew7e3WGYaIfchEc1jbJDirMIvMUgUrz7tm101OC-9P74r1RLRZxrDfrF4M2TEtINrm_WdfF2ySeeVSG_76MxTW6ji0gUJq6YAS-/s320/IMG_0987.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><p><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxJDJT5ACKegLVEe2bnQqf5RVRQqWF0VSEhLfgJcEqiUkgnLHbF06mKBwEOqhnILHE7j_kqox9WoTmDazw2Tg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyeLp0MWEVrNCIV-P2HBRUH1Y8Cc_I5KU1LA6f_iEgRZG3PRiltcWZwB4Q9nRq2T2Ssa2FEIy4BqK_n-W5ejw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br />Tyler had Thursday and Friday off from school last week. So, I wanted to try and make it fun. It isn't too often that we have time to kill and fun Holidays around it so, I thought lets make the most of it and live it up. We woke up and went to pump it up with our friends Chase and Aiden. It was so much fun! I swear I could play there for hours without the kids. They would bounce from blow up thing to blow up thing laughing and giggling. It is one of those rare moments where you feel like a really good mom. You know when all those worries, guilt for cleaning too long or talking to your sister on the phone too long all go away and you feel like your kids really love you. I also took Trevin down the slide and he giggled. I thought I might get a nap out of everyone afterwards but no, I was not so lucky. Then we went to the zoo. If you ever need a good work out go to the Colorado Springs zoo pushing a double stroller with a baby strapped on you. It is almost all uphill in the mountains, lets just say certain muscles were beyond burning. We got to hand feed the giraffes and the birds. Talan was afraid the giraffes would eat his hand so he kind of threw the cracker at it instead of letting the tongue come out and grab the cracker. Any who, it was cute. Rumor has it that all zebras have the same number of stripes...... Fact or fiction? Look it up! Anyways, it was a long fun filled day.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dz_3sdsAF-K-09foqvEovd-qNBBobmyxUEcahPhMgB4qK_gVxZz8ttu74fbuWB6FZhHhQlx-abzcO50xNaY0w' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264252700142164354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPG-vWAGA-tFa1u4FOxMoCl24fzspGcw9uZT9mA2tFy3nLR27Wnt1G_o6VSlYJFUhcLUVPlT44zqb2nJeV6HZzQvLx6FK9IWThiYcyGEsvvKHZkMHD5lADY7zigePHF-3xn00sRWJ4K_Bg/s320/DSCF2792.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264252714644198802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWkvZ15VfdLEoFhA57yrf_19_ZNT5WB69a50ktiRSE7w9guak1tEuu5V_0-sGYH363oD-mZXe6Ys7yv0iYCMmBfBA6b5uaeAjGeX0U8AhRQPntS5kCs8qDCtaBCCF-cpFQbexIOhTIzpj0/s320/DSCF2797.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264252715505681042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSFJdG1Hedr2YdRjj4KOLCBL0nXEjurecOwFDLoCAWEhiPmGjhjuoDhP_r4G6BPzoqC_eWxgWMJtUTX4C0KKNV94scubzSuSQ3BMejsRPOIOOafufWuAPf8430fMY_PEegx-LqT6lhLtZp/s320/DSCF2807.JPG" border="0" /></p></div>Our Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14504263149226637748noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7300208410119624554.post-81580693724231351142008-11-02T17:36:00.001-08:002008-11-02T17:54:59.956-08:00Happy Apple Farm<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyuiwg-AGy1-3vW-SOIJNbjUPXElDM9F8RQUDKAdaao1k7cPYPw2gPYjsRveX8mlrvEXcmqso7Tw_Yle8TMQilqcCOC21NGV20dn9S2n-MG5lewWDiPw5JbOlw6gpOrZ58SQIlXwkGG-8X/s1600-h/DSCF2756.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264239457845317266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyuiwg-AGy1-3vW-SOIJNbjUPXElDM9F8RQUDKAdaao1k7cPYPw2gPYjsRveX8mlrvEXcmqso7Tw_Yle8TMQilqcCOC21NGV20dn9S2n-MG5lewWDiPw5JbOlw6gpOrZ58SQIlXwkGG-8X/s320/DSCF2756.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqVLWvdupjwJQ663fL4WdbCrQEoXDHUtCGPYN0vz3xQRXaeaLfl44qC5savzOWgkEHO2vXvN3Lc8asmphxiWwCXq88K58d5VM7wZakB5BDQDvbpWsHGTGKAFdwHQOnJ4QeZ4X9xUXxFh0X/s1600-h/DSCF2754.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264239445456408498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqVLWvdupjwJQ663fL4WdbCrQEoXDHUtCGPYN0vz3xQRXaeaLfl44qC5savzOWgkEHO2vXvN3Lc8asmphxiWwCXq88K58d5VM7wZakB5BDQDvbpWsHGTGKAFdwHQOnJ4QeZ4X9xUXxFh0X/s320/DSCF2754.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1EStdgrDSJ_-c02daDsisvsQ4F5cUUZW1QuEVgk4Yu_ZkzkTednBQkaYFKekdNjGL2NkDYv_E9nXHht5QxLmwhxd4_DINSuMkBaczefYEKOkdLTxsmnjpTDpYfk4Ecz6wnmDoy1KfGSSC/s1600-h/DSCF2753.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264239442932795810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1EStdgrDSJ_-c02daDsisvsQ4F5cUUZW1QuEVgk4Yu_ZkzkTednBQkaYFKekdNjGL2NkDYv_E9nXHht5QxLmwhxd4_DINSuMkBaczefYEKOkdLTxsmnjpTDpYfk4Ecz6wnmDoy1KfGSSC/s320/DSCF2753.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgvegku36htCV7RgT_t-P-M0In-APVWquTg8wMEBsMK1y-WTVd0toxvSTq47AMqLbqsE0ZWra5J6ubLFYVV5R9Z_0r0xnRjVDjGbS2bLWYFcsKe48urbb9rlZMHLW3OrUGkSUx82ReQW7-/s1600-h/DSCF2750.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264239429278990114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgvegku36htCV7RgT_t-P-M0In-APVWquTg8wMEBsMK1y-WTVd0toxvSTq47AMqLbqsE0ZWra5J6ubLFYVV5R9Z_0r0xnRjVDjGbS2bLWYFcsKe48urbb9rlZMHLW3OrUGkSUx82ReQW7-/s320/DSCF2750.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Having just moved here from Boston, we are missing certain things that Boston had to offer. Most specifically besides friends, the apple picking. My family really loved picking apples. It was such a fun tradition, if you have the opportunity by your house you really should try it sometime. So, we found Happy Apple farm in our area. It advertised apple picking, pumpkin patch, hay rides, etc. So we pack the whole fam damily up and drove there. Well, the trees didn't have apples, and the pumpkins were sparse but it was still fun. We walked around and let the boys choose there pumpkins for Halloween. Tyler kept looking for Spookey the square pumpkin but did not find him. Every time we tried to guide the boys to a certain pumpkin they yelled at us and said, "NO!!!! You said we could pick which ever one we wanted." So there you have it, we were overruled by a 5 and 2 year old. Talan absolutely loved the hay ride. He thought it was the next best thing to chocolate milk! The best part for me, the kids got free candy bags with sour licorice in the them! Yum yum.</div></div></div></div>Our Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14504263149226637748noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7300208410119624554.post-85289483926787214352008-11-02T17:26:00.001-08:002008-11-02T17:36:03.092-08:00Tyler's Fall Party<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-6G6RuV4lQHvDjxbdPiQS3xhrfYx9Ixj4EjNsTlf14dRFa76WTmyfhZeTp6Nle4lWS2He6QsE3JTmYtEE7KAHIsHzTFSTxOQimv5MnxsOADd0RXkERys1aS0LQQ4AbZHyOX8Yu0sn2inD/s1600-h/DSCF2781.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264237158009945138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-6G6RuV4lQHvDjxbdPiQS3xhrfYx9Ixj4EjNsTlf14dRFa76WTmyfhZeTp6Nle4lWS2He6QsE3JTmYtEE7KAHIsHzTFSTxOQimv5MnxsOADd0RXkERys1aS0LQQ4AbZHyOX8Yu0sn2inD/s320/DSCF2781.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggrsiNMUqf9ztQhBEuuQZU_yYpgWH_9sbyE8OSA7QQKw9_el5IhOnIqbqXdfC_Avk75os0g-13xAOs61Ud5pZdIzfTe3scxa-dOHsBDjhLMnRUoq0HUwl3xPZ7sAuzrukr7NKeZX7M45ic/s1600-h/DSCF2782.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264237145914339746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggrsiNMUqf9ztQhBEuuQZU_yYpgWH_9sbyE8OSA7QQKw9_el5IhOnIqbqXdfC_Avk75os0g-13xAOs61Ud5pZdIzfTe3scxa-dOHsBDjhLMnRUoq0HUwl3xPZ7sAuzrukr7NKeZX7M45ic/s320/DSCF2782.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH0wvaW_lL08FDeGzw-fX0zV5RcUtkcHI5B0eyAT1zaePv35DCIXFDiPF2ccjI3WYBeP9eWC4mRNv1V1TeRF93SaNV46tLj9kOWVLKNav-UIdhVbH1hYWr7Vd1rZiG5QdoNO5H-YE1-O2D/s1600-h/DSCF2778.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264237138396886242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH0wvaW_lL08FDeGzw-fX0zV5RcUtkcHI5B0eyAT1zaePv35DCIXFDiPF2ccjI3WYBeP9eWC4mRNv1V1TeRF93SaNV46tLj9kOWVLKNav-UIdhVbH1hYWr7Vd1rZiG5QdoNO5H-YE1-O2D/s320/DSCF2778.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvJfKlD4WN9N27CY-dX_52fwa0-dTBxPXHoSphH1yk8gJdSrWsxJIH-sxZgntNBYZ9o5ruD7EDmWZQlltSRZLP8coZ529cb32xS-IogVcvrL3Bn_us3-dA2wa6M2R7bSuLxrBv8hE8w64D/s1600-h/DSCF2775.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264237132229405298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvJfKlD4WN9N27CY-dX_52fwa0-dTBxPXHoSphH1yk8gJdSrWsxJIH-sxZgntNBYZ9o5ruD7EDmWZQlltSRZLP8coZ529cb32xS-IogVcvrL3Bn_us3-dA2wa6M2R7bSuLxrBv8hE8w64D/s320/DSCF2775.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNG-q0_bcr4gmqsVPVciz3FmV-R9IHktXrtvuGBv_N4xeUVQe4SGWKCqHoegNge3V6Al7Vd71U5rV-_D4tVyHbLpHonKEKV9TNFEs8vll0bjfwmhD4O0Pa0_WEDxptdsx2IKcXjSRQ86SO/s1600-h/DSCF2774.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264237127150927890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNG-q0_bcr4gmqsVPVciz3FmV-R9IHktXrtvuGBv_N4xeUVQe4SGWKCqHoegNge3V6Al7Vd71U5rV-_D4tVyHbLpHonKEKV9TNFEs8vll0bjfwmhD4O0Pa0_WEDxptdsx2IKcXjSRQ86SO/s320/DSCF2774.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Ty was looking forward to his "Fall Party" all week long. He kept reminding me day of that I </div></div></div></div></div><br />needed to come to his classroom with cupcakes. It was really fun to go in and participate in his party. His face lit up when he saw me, Tyler and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Talan</span>. I hope the day never comes when he is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">embarrassed</span> to see me at school. He is so proud of me when he sees me he tells everyone around who I am and sometimes asks his friends to move so I can sit with him. His teacher is so kind hearted and sweet. She has cute catch phrases like make smart choices with your body, and she says soar in 4, 3, 2, 1 and like magic the classroom is completely still and quiet. It is quite the magic trick. I wish she could come and teach my kids at home. They would be whipped into shape in no time! Tyler kept going through the food line but so many things had chocolate he only ended up eating 2 cupcakes but he was still thrilled for the party. The top picture is of Tyler and his friend Brennen.

I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">after all</span> am only human.<br /><br />1. When I have people over for dinner I never ask for them to bring anything. I feel like if I ask, it negates the offer of dinner. If you are going to serve someone dinner, serve them. Not to mention it is always a pain for the person to try and transport something to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">someones</span> house and most of the time who knows if it goes with dinner.<br /><br />2. I hate raw meat. After I cut off anything weird or maybe weird looking there is nothing left of the meat. And what may be left of the meat grosses me out so more often than not, I don't eat it at all.<br /><br />3. I hate people cracking their <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">knuckles</span>. It is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">truly</span> the most awful thing I have ever heard and it makes me crazy. Matt often <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">cracks</span> his <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">knuckles</span> and I always tell him he will get <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">arthritis</span> from it even though it isn't <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">scientifically</span> proven.<br /><br />4. When I married Matt he yelled at me for the way I put silverware in the dishwasher. Now, I do it the exact <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">same way</span> he wanted it. The like silverware must be all in the same basket sections. That way when you are unloading you grab a handful of forks, spoons, knives, etc. It makes for an easier cleanup.<br /><br />5. I cannot go out in public in my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">pj's</span> or without make-up. I know many people who are totally comfortable to go out without being done. Whether I am in labor, dropping off Tyler at school, or even hanging out at the house, I am usually ready for the day. I would say there are only a small few people who have seen me at my worst. And those people I'm sure have been scarred for life!<br /><br />6. I always have my seat warmer on in the car. It could be 110 degrees outside and I would still have it on. I really love it. It makes my back feel really nice and I wouldn't give up seat warmers for anything!Our Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14504263149226637748noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7300208410119624554.post-32766230714587853582008-10-26T20:46:00.000-07:002008-10-26T20:49:24.855-07:00Do you know a 5 year old?Not that my blog in read by millions, but we are looking for some kids around Tyler's age to start a playgroup. So, if you happen to know anyone in the Colorado Springs area if you wouldn't mind would you pass them along my info or their info to me. We are noticing a small social regression in Tyler and want to jump on it asap. And, it never hurts to have more friends. Thanks :)Our Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14504263149226637748noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7300208410119624554.post-71115368806285113452008-10-26T20:36:00.001-07:002008-10-26T21:07:43.454-07:00What do you want to be when you grow up?This morning I was hanging out with the boys and Tyler and Talan suggested we play doctor. So of course I was very, very sick and in desperate need of having my knees banged in by that weird triangle on a stick to check my reflexes. I don't know why they always think its so funny to bruise me but it is their favorite part of playing doctor. I asked Tyler if he wanted to be a doctor when he grows up and he said, "No, I want to be a daddy like my dad. I want to go to the Tony Stewart store and get wood, and fix things." Then Talan in all his wisdom said, "Daddy is a doctor." I asked Talan do you know what kind of doctor daddy is. He said no. I said a teeth doctor. Then Tyler said, I thought dad was an Army doctor. My poor children, it must be so confusing to them. Talan thinks that dad must fly some sort of helicopter since there is a huge one outside the gate we go through to get on post. If you ever ask Talan where dad is he says at the helicopter. In his mind Matt must be some sort of helicopter flying, root canal filling, army tough guy. I can't think of a better way for the kids to say they love their dad than to say they want to be like him though. So, since I have no girls what do I get? You would never wish for your sons to say, "I want to be a mommy who cooks and cleans, wipes up poop all day, pays the bills, packs the lunches, goes to school meetings, acts like a driver, and keeps the household going strong." I am out of luck. I guess I will have to stick with all the I love you moms I can get!Our Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14504263149226637748noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7300208410119624554.post-45200959636027279262008-10-24T21:39:00.001-07:002008-10-24T21:55:13.073-07:00Meet Boston Mower<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXrJFs74HyR8isx1DKAP_TpSpucwfJzcg6j1Xc0QA51mVEkPYHrOF962py0rAn-GjdDYaelktb7rFCKfQ7cpu-bx0MK1fCHHgIWHQWlVTaHh04a8OYvIsEGidrWRwZxtOjReeRzeO7Fok1/s1600-h/DSCF2700.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260946846091998882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXrJFs74HyR8isx1DKAP_TpSpucwfJzcg6j1Xc0QA51mVEkPYHrOF962py0rAn-GjdDYaelktb7rFCKfQ7cpu-bx0MK1fCHHgIWHQWlVTaHh04a8OYvIsEGidrWRwZxtOjReeRzeO7Fok1/s320/DSCF2700.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9WMhIOFmvTW0SebL9eNDuGXSnInOVsl7p8mbl7oajBQ3PbV7yLeXklZ0N7C61Uub2Ie7UCWMofZGN58FhtX2yWHcJahziZnA8IYnR5AFxsv9Xzu9ybM3YIM3qXHqvz-9uxCDNxVJ3thk_/s1600-h/DSCF2688.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260946842999277554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9WMhIOFmvTW0SebL9eNDuGXSnInOVsl7p8mbl7oajBQ3PbV7yLeXklZ0N7C61Uub2Ie7UCWMofZGN58FhtX2yWHcJahziZnA8IYnR5AFxsv9Xzu9ybM3YIM3qXHqvz-9uxCDNxVJ3thk_/s320/DSCF2688.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ-dj4Lk0zzYRP-OfaTIV5I-stTBwcN6b_9yNWBQGbbQrFNFsrQpbgnBGK3yEukjVBHFw3VGDMYbUZpGZvJwVBwINoQE0cF7BOZ21WAlJ33ET8zcdcr-WqtpVmd4xaTXifwDYSot5dbdXu/s1600-h/DSCF2708.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260946838716740194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ-dj4Lk0zzYRP-OfaTIV5I-stTBwcN6b_9yNWBQGbbQrFNFsrQpbgnBGK3yEukjVBHFw3VGDMYbUZpGZvJwVBwINoQE0cF7BOZ21WAlJ33ET8zcdcr-WqtpVmd4xaTXifwDYSot5dbdXu/s320/DSCF2708.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYS1uhbP9WDsX2tLXm5GRWob8Mj-HyPm-FgBLzNY1Fi0ny0VYUSTnipt0RNOvrdTVSL784YpT6A9iBucPSBGTUjx6FsJjtspdvI-WpxgeKSQyTRpmYOvExDYZvLJ_QqvL97NKnweIbSL3a/s1600-h/DSCF2707.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260946832603643746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYS1uhbP9WDsX2tLXm5GRWob8Mj-HyPm-FgBLzNY1Fi0ny0VYUSTnipt0RNOvrdTVSL784YpT6A9iBucPSBGTUjx6FsJjtspdvI-WpxgeKSQyTRpmYOvExDYZvLJ_QqvL97NKnweIbSL3a/s320/DSCF2707.JPG" border="0" /></a> We obviously got a dog. She is a very cute, very small, morkie. Its a maltese/yorkie mix. She is a good dog and my children love her more than I even thought possible. They really really love having her. Talan my little non-napper super active, little fireball has for the past 2 days taken naps. Thats right folks, this little miracle has come into our lives and blessed me with a napping child once again. Any amount of sacrifice is worth it if I get a nap out of Talan. Talan and Boston go out in the backyard and run circles till they can't anymore and when he comes in, he passes out. I wish I had thought of this sooner! Tyler told me yesterday as I dropped him off at school, Mom please take really good care of Boston while I am at school. She might really miss me so take good care of her. I love seeing my children so happy. As I write this my husband who said, I know we both don't want a dog but it is something you do for your children, he is curled up on the couch with Boston on his lap while he eats popcorn and watches The Breakup. Its cute to see him love the dog too! That movie gives us a good laugh. I think if Matt and I were to ever think about splitting up this would be who we would become. Anyways, on a side note I was helping Tyler with his homework last night and he told me that I was doing it wrong. He told me his teacher Mrs. Bentley is so smart, "her knows everything mommy, not you!" There you go, he is 5 and he already thinks I am dumb. Good luck to me.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Our Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14504263149226637748noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7300208410119624554.post-61723207245433642362008-10-24T21:15:00.000-07:002008-10-24T21:35:09.793-07:00We're Finally in Moab!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPKfDRnK6Pn05u3VlQtnbDKxt1hJ45Ur32okmXCU-ZvVxQBz_0fJ9eZVARIODy-uSPMxsF7xXUkdxPUlUNpFObUDD7Y3z0PqZpOm5R0Ia09ALXd8DGqOdq2KLP4xYtn02W0YbP6kymzErB/s1600-h/DSCF2666.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260941816870620130" style="DISPLAY: block;

We are so excited to get back into it. I don't know how many <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Moab</span> trips we didn't make and I thought we can't wait till we live close enough to go to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Moab</span>. We thought we were taking our 3 kids on a fun family vacation but, we ended up only taking 2 of our kids on a fun family vacation. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Talan</span> opted out of our family. He decided he would rather have Grandma and Grandpa for parents than us! It got so bad, he <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">refused</span> to make eye contact with Matt and I for fear that he would have to come back with us. We would try to say hi to him and he would turn around and walk away. Poor Vickie probably got so tired of holding him on her lap for hours upon hours! At the end of the trip, he cried and cried, because he did not want Scott and Vickie to leave. On the way home after Matt got pulled over for speeding (hum hum Matt, slow it down a little) he fell asleep and when he woke up the first words out of his mouth were, "where is Grandma." To that I say, its time for all the grandparents to move by us.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Our Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14504263149226637748noreply@blogger.com0
