Tyler, Thanksgiving, etc.


Tyler is growing up so fast I can't believe it. Today we moved him onto the trundle bed that is under Kadens and got rid of the crib, YEAH!!! I have been wanting to do this for a few weeks but haven't and then Amanda was watching Tyler and I forgot to get the portacrib for her so she just laid him down on Kayci's bed and he did great. So far so good here at home too. He is such a fun little kid and has the cutest personality very sweet and kind with a fiery side that lets you know when he is not happy. He loves playing chase with Kaden, throwing balls, reading books and wrestling with Dad. Everyday he amazes me with how easily he learns things. Today it was unscrewing the cap on my make-up! He loves to watch what Kaden is doing and then try and do it himself. I love my sweet baby Ty!!

What another fun weekend!! It started off with Thanksgiving at my parents house which I was in charge of the rolls so with help from Brita (Thank You) I attempted to make homemade rolls. They didn't quite turn out like I had hoped but hey the effort was there. The food was delicious and it was a very nice and relaxing day. JD and Colby played sting pong which is always hillarious to watch. JD got his trashed kicked he had 10 welts and Colby had 1.
All I can say is Boys will be Boys and I am grateful for the entertainment.

Friday night it was girls night out to go see Twilight!! We went with my Moms sisters, cousins, Marci's family etc. it was a lot of fun and so good to see everyone. Movies are never as good as the books but I still really liked it. One of these days Amanda and I are going to break Brittany out of her shell and see her let loose. The greatest part of the whole night was when we were stopped at a red light behind Penny and Jamie and I jumped out of the car and pounded on Penny's window the expression on her face was priceless!! I was dying laughing.

Saturday night was a friend Christmas party with a lot of high school friends. It is always great to see everyone and play "Aarons Confession". JD and I really are so lucky to have such good friends who are so much fun to be around. Just to set the record straight the girls kicked trash at Catch Phrase maybe next year boys.

Kaden's Imagination


So last night I was putting the boys to bed and Kaden says to me, "Mom, I don't want to sleep in my room." "Why Kaden?" Kadens response was, " Because Mom what if animals get in my room?" "Kaden no animals can get in your room your window is so high off the ground they can't jump that high" " Well what about a giraffe Mom, they could let little animals in" "Your right Kaden a giraffes head could reach that high but his face isn't strong enough to break through the glass" The conversation continued about what was stong enough to break the window, etc. It is amazing to me what Kaden comes up with, who would think of a GIRAFFE!!

How to Paint a Truck by JD Dunn


So yesterday JD purchased another beautiful FedEx vehicle to help him get through Christmas without renting. The paint on this 1988 chevy is not the greatest ......
needless to say JD went down to Home Depot and grabbed a gallon of white paint and is out there painting away with a roller!! I told him he was crazy for painting the whole thing and his reply was, " I think you're crazy for re painting our office 3 x". I was silenced!! I don't think JD will ever cease to make me smile from all his unique ideas he gets!!

Happy Halloween


Doesn't he make a cute little bat!!


What a fun Halloween we had. After a chest x-ray and pee sample at the insta care to try and figure out what was wrong with Kaden. He had been crying/screaming all day we got home got the kids dressed and were out the door. (The doctor never was able to tell us what was wrong) I took the kids trick or treating and they were perfect. We made it a good distance before another crying attack started with Kaden. Came home until we ran out of candy and then went over to the Freeman's for a fun get together with friends. It was amazing how nice it was outside the kids were in and out the door, poor Tyler was wearing a fleece bat costume and was a little hot we ended up just having him show everyone his massive muscles. He especially liked showing his girlfriend London.
The night doesn't end there we went over to Jon and Britta's house put the kids to bed ate some more and watched "Taking Lives" it was the perfect scary movie picked out by Reagan. Thanks to all our great friends, family and my cute kids for making Halloween so much fun. I don't think I have ever had such a fun October!! You know I always thought my partying days were over after having kids but we still party like rockstars (maybe even more so now) and all the Holidays are a 100x more fun with kids!!
