CHRISTMAS SUITS

This year I decided to get my boys suits for Christmas. They got to wear them to church the first Sunday in December and they loved it. They were so excited to go to church "looking like missionaries!" I know that I am biased because I am their Mom, but I sure think they look handsome!

BOWLING AND HALLOWEEN

On the Friday before Halloween we decided to do something fun as a family, so we asked the boys if they wanted to go bowling, and of course they did. So we headed over to the new Jack N Jill in Lehi and got a lane. The boys had tons of fun, and got so excited. Of course they didn't like the part about having to take turns:)

We got up the next morning and carved the pumpkins. Brad and I helped the twins with theirs, but Justice did it all by himself and it turned out so cute! That day, Justice's school was having a Halloween carnival, and the kids were so excited to get in their costumes! Justice was Wolverine from X MEN, Talon was Optimus Prime and Cardon was Bumblebee, which are both Transformers.


We went with my Mom and my Sister Jess and her kiddos. They all had so much fun and loved the rides! After that we went to lunch and filled up our bellies:)

Brad and I then took our kids to Trick or Treat at Grandma Nancy's house, Aunt Haleigh's, and then Grandpa Randy's houses. Too bad after that it started to down pour. We still headed to a few old neighbors houses and then to Grandpa Graces' for a visit. The kids love to go their and see him. And then we went to Papa Bob's and Grandma Cheryl's for dinner. The kids Trick or Treated a little more around their neighborhood with all their cousins. Finally we sat down and watched Michael Jackson's Thriller, which the kids love. It was a fun Halloween, but we hope next year has a little better weather!

Talon and Cardon's 3rd Birthday

I cannot believe that by twinners are 3! This year they wanted a Transformers birthday party. They are in a play group with a couple of neighbor kids, so we decided to have a friend birthday in the morning and invite them and a few others.

We started off buy playing a couple games. We did a beanbag toss, and tossed through Optimus Primes's chest. And then we played pin the Autobot symbol on Bumblebee's chest. The kids all had fun doing that. We then ate our cupcakes that had either Autobot or Decepticon candies on the top. And then opened presents. Talon and Cardon had so much fun with their friends, and were glad they could come. Thank you to Jess for helping me with the cakes, and for her and my Mom for helping with the party! I couldn't have done it without you:)

Later that night we had all our family over for cake and ice cream. We are so thankful for all those that could be there, and we missed those who could not make it.

We gave the boys new training wheel bikes, and they love them. And thanks to everyone else for all the fun gifts and birthday wishes.

Yay! The Tooth Fairy came!

Justice lost his first tooth yesterday! Oh my goodness was he ever excited. It had been loose for a couple of weeks now. I was always telling him wiggle your tooth, you have to wiggle it all the time so it will get more loose. I think I was more anxious than he was. It was super loose yesterday, and I told him it would probably come out later that day. We had all the boys in the tub, and I was in the other room grabbing something, and I heard him yell, "Mom, come quick my tooth came out!" I went in there and he was holding it up. I asked him how it came out, and he told me that he was biting on one of the foam tub toys and it just popped out. He carried his tooth around everywhere in a sandwich bag, and had to show everyone. He was so excited to put it under his pillow that night to see what the Tooth Fairy would bring. I told him that he gets something special the first time, and then after that, just a dollar each time. He woke up at 5:30 so excited and had to come show me what he got:) Thank goodness he went back to sleep for a while!

First Day of Kindergarten

On September 1st, 2010 Justice headed off to his first day of School. He was so excited, we couldn't get there quick enough. My sister Jess and her family live really close to us, so Justice gets to go with his cousins. I think that helped him not to be nervous. So we all rode together that day to see them off. I promised myself that I wouldn't cry, and I made it through. I am so excited for him to start this long journey:) I love to here everyday about the fun things he does in class. He loves to do his homework each day. And of course he says his favorite thing is recess. I miss him while he is gone, but am so glad how much he enjoys going. I love you Justice, and am so proud of you!
