Thanksgiving

This year for thanksgiving we went to Golden Corral since it was go to the in laws for my family. Since Darren's parents are on a mission we went out with my grandparents, Mark and Michelle,Blake, Dale and Karen, Kristjana, Jake and my mom. It was CRAZY. There was so many people and the twins didn't want to sit in high chairs. We were just about to leave when I realized I didn't take any photos. So this is what I snapped as we were leaving.

Popsicles

The babies had their first Popsicle and really liked them. They did really well until their hands got too cold.

Suns Games

Darren was given tickets to two different Suns game. The first game Darren took Mason. They had a lot of fun. Their row won ice cream and the free groceries. When it was Chases turn they didn't win anything. Darren said it is really different between the boys because Mason is so into it and Chase just wants to know when the gorilla is coming back out or when it will be over. Both boys did like getting to spend time with Darren alone.

Our Favorite Babysitter

Christine came and stayed with us this past weekend. She would babysit for us before we moved. She just had a special bond with Trey. We call her Trey's girlfriend. We all enjoyed her stay and can't wait for her to come back.

Not using a towel

Chase had been getting out of the bath without a towel to dry himself off. I took a photo to prove to him that he is too wet and needs to use a towel.

Mason's school on FRIDAY had crazy hair day. Thank goodness he had this mohawk from the fair that he was able to do some crazy hair.....

It just so happen it matched his school shirt as well.

Backyard

We finally got our backyard finished last weekend (Nov. 3). We chose a guy who stuck his business card in the front door. They needed half the money on Wednesday and then would take the rest after the work was finished. I was nervous once we gave him the money thinking he wasn't going to come back but he did. The man said he would do Saturday and maybe Sunday. Well it only took them Saturday to finish it. They started at 6:30 in the morning and finished up about 5 at night. We had them do concret, sprinklers, the edging and the grass with rocks everywhere else. The plants were left from when it was a parking lot.

I was gone to Time Out For Women with Becca and so when I got home I was surprised they were done. Time Out For Women was alot of fun. The speakers were really good along with the music. Next year we are going to get everyone to come with us, since we all leave closer now.

We have found cupboards

The last couple of days Trey has been notices as he stands by the cupboards that they open a little. Well yesterday he really noticed that there was stuff in them. So I would distract him and later in the day he forgot about it. Well today is a different story. Since they woke up they have been going through one cupboard after another.  I would move them away and start cleaning up the cupboard and then they were in the next. They even sat in them to reach the further back stuff.

Even Mason was trying to stop the babies work by sitting in the cupboard himself.

I just know now that I really have my work cut out. Having two babies doing stuff is a hole lot harder because they are fast and work as a team. I guess I am getting ready for the next stage of toddlers.

HALLOWEEN 2012

This year our ward had a truck or treat on the Friday before halloween. It was a carnival time event. We first ate hot dogs and then got to play games and ride rides. This swing was a big hit because it could fit two people on it.  Then after people played the games it was trunk or treat time. The kids had fun doing that. We had a NINJA TURTLE---SKELETON---DEAD DOCTOR---SKELETON.

Chases preschool had a Halloween concert at the first 15 minutes of preschool.

Mason's school had a costume parade. I didn't know parents were suppose to go to this until my friend said she was going. So Chase and I tool the twins and went. We got their 15 minutes early and it was already crowed. But we were able to surprise Mason which he liked. He changed his mind on the Dr. to the skeleton.

Last night the boys went trick or treating with Darren and I stayed home to pass out candy. Today Chase took my phone to show his candy. They have organized their candy. But the sad thing is, is that WE are only letting them keep about 10 pieces.

This is Chases friend Carter. They both were wearing their halloween shirts and so we snapped a photo.

Chase asked me this morning, "When will it be Halloween again?" I guess Halloween was fun for the boys, that they are ready to go again.
