A true Halloween Horror!

Jon was out playing with the kids this morning and went in to get something and turned and noticed this little fella....
oh you can't see what it is...have a closer look....
Yep, that's right...a BLACK WIDOW...right there, hangin' out....
of course it must meet it's demise....bug spray....
and a flip flop!!!
Horray for MY HERO!!! (I am SO glad he was home to take care of this little Halloween Horror!)

AAAHHHHHH!!!

potty, turning 6 months , preschool and other daily adventures...

One day I could hear PD in the bathroom and went to check on her and I found her helping "pseudo george" go potty. She was nice and held his legs up so he wouldn't get potty on them...
they they walked down the hall together...
She is so stinking adorable! :o)
aren't they lovely...PG may be a talented artist one day, but I wish he wouldn't use the bathroom wall as his canvas...
yep, I made HIM scrub it off...I did also ask him to redraw the family on paper, because I thought it was so good. So now it lives appropriately on our fridge...on PAPER!
one night we played "restaurant" for dinner the kids loved the homemade icecream and cookies.
doesn't that face just "scream for more ice cream"?
she only wished for ice cream...soon enough little girl!
my babies out grow the baby bath way too fast...so I have to be creative ...not that the kitchen sink is all that "creative" but hey...it isn't common at our house. :o)
I helped some neighbors make wonderboxes..they turned out so cute I had to take a picture. It was fun to sew with friends. :o)
the kids enjoyed the pile of pillows too. :o)
PD LOVES to rub backs and get her back rubbed too. She is majorly talented....Look, 2 backs at the SAME time! Everyone was happy...except me! :o)
PR's turned 6 months on the 1st, she is getting so BIG! He favorite snack...flip flops!!! (kind of disgusting but whatever!)
We started doing preschool with a few families in the ward. this week was my week. This lesson brought to you by the letter A, the number 1 and the color Red. :o)
look at our big girl now....She is SITTING!!! And judging by this pic, she LOVES it too! :o)
PG make a fort from pillows...he kept saying "you can't see me, I am hiding in my cave" but he was waving out the window! :o) Silly boy!
this is another common look for Miss Roo. She ALWAYS sucks in her bottom lip and smiles. She is SO cute...I love her!!!
there are my 3 favorite "Yahoos"...Man I love these kids. They add meaning and entertainment and LOVE to my life!

(Also thanks to Camilla for the fun Disney presents! They LOVE them!)

lastly...the video of Roo's latest feet....

family photos shoot - August 2010

I should have posted this last week but life got away from me, this was our family photo shoot a few weeks ago, by my "niece that is not my niece."








Thanks Amber....WE LOVE THEM, and WE LOVE YOU!

Today was the day!

this is a very nice picture of me
...taken a few weeks ago by a cute friend of mine. Look how long and flowing my hair was...
this is what that hair looks like sitting on the counter at "the Spa Club" after they chopped it off. I do this every few years, I grow it out, chop it off and donate it to locks of Love.
this is the final product!
What do you think???
(I really like it ... A LOT!!)

thanksgiving point...

WE took advantage of $2 Tuesday at Thanksgiving Point, we went to the kids gardens...the outdoor xylophone...Ransom went with us and we let Roo with Manda.

they had a huge sand box...it was fun until PG threw sand into Ransom's face...:( he really didn't care for that much, so once he recovered, we found a new place to play.
water...much better. :o) Ransom decided to just chill and no risk the "river"
unlike my 2- it was the "river" all the way!!!
2 buddies in the butterfly garden
I wanted to take PD's pic, but she would turn around so I said, "you want me to take a picture of you bum?" and she stood up, turn around part way and grabbed her bum and said "nooo"
so I got this pic! :o)
here are the 3 yahoos in a little tunnel...we all had so much fun running around.
then it was finally our turn to play in the noah's ark water. that is when the craziness began. PG DISAPPEARED!!! I look for him for a few minutes THEN I started to panic, I asked everyone, and ran around looking for him. It was SOOO ScArY!!! After 10 minutes I finally found someone that had seen him...it was the best moment ever...to know that my "baby" was safe...I just help him and cried...he cried too. I am so grateful he was safe and found!
then he got to go join PD and Ransom playing in the water!
It was a fun adventure for the day. We will have to do it again sometime....
minus the getting lost part!

Our daily goings on...

Our Miss Roo (PR) is growing so fast!
She props herself up for pre-crawling exersizes...she spins in circles on the floor, and rolls to get what she wants. She holds her bottle and grabs toys to chew on...and when you pass and she is not being held, she will put her arms up in hopes of being saved!
We pulled the jumper out for her, she spins around in it and is now starting to actually jump. She is happy in there just like PG used to be....Come to think of it, I found PG in it the other day.
(I find it amusing that they try SO hard to grow up SO FAST then they get jealous of what the babies get! SILLYNESS!)
There is a happy girl!
she doesn't like to lay down much anymore...she wants to SEE EVERYTING! So she gets a Ab workout when she is on her back!
She is getting closer to sitting up, she can sit up unassisted for about a minute...this pic was 2weeks ago and she is holding on 1 of my fingers to keep herself stable in the grass outside on a slight hill in the front yard.
And it is that time again for the baby to sleep better...not to mention that she is SO interested in everyone's food, so I decided to try rice cereal on for size...she LOVES IT!
and her first feeding was a breeze...time consuming but she ate really well...I just had to keep trading her spoons...
yummy....
because she thinks she wants to feed herself...and she almost succeeds.

on to other updates...PD is learning the art of pedaling....she isn't really good at it yet but for only trying for a week or two she is doing great.
And the old favorite...the "new car" - better get buckled in....
nevermind, just climb over and sit in the back!
it is kind of fun to sit in the trunk and let someone else drive you around. :o)
I took the rice out of the bucket and filled it with water, they were in HEAVEN! They played and got soaked for over an hour...it was great!
and last night PG decided that he doesn't want to sleep on his bed so he made a bed on the floor. He was so happy that I didn't tell him to get back in his bed...and he stayed there and went to sleep so maybe we will find the tent and revisit sleeping in there. :o) He is a good boy! They all are and I am grateful to be THEIR Mom!
