Spagetti-O's

Ryan was in the garage, on the Eliptical while I got Brady dinner and prepared myself to go running. I slipped away for a quick moment to chat with Ryan and came back to Brady who was eating Spagetti-Os and Corn.....Hmmmm -- looks like he decided to wear them instead. Brady is a very clean eater so this was something new to him. I couldnt get upset cause I couldnt stop smiling.

Fun with Play-Doh

Brady's best buddy and of course Cousin, Carter got to come over and play today since his mommy had to take our sweet little Trenton in to get a blood transfusion. He brought over his Play-Doh and he Brady and Kate had so much fun making different creations with it. Prior to me getting the play-doh all ready for them....Logan had been in his jumper in the play room where the kids were all yelling and being loud having a good time. As you can see - the noise really bothers our poor little guy. He is such a sweet angel!

My boys

I couldnt resist sharing these fun photos of Ryan with his boys! I especially like the one of Logan passed out with Ryan on the couch.....If you look closely -- he is laying on his own arm with Ryans arm under it. I sure do love ALL my boys. Couldnt ask for a better life than with these guys.

Silly Dancing

Brady is quite the character. He LOVES to dance. One of his favorite shows that he enjoys watching is Wow Wow Wubzy. He will come racing in from the other room if he hears the theme song. He then runs in place really fast yelling go go go....its so much fun to watch. There are many times that I join in on the fun and run with him. Kate and Connor (kids I watch daily) joined in one day so, I thought I would share the fun. Its not their best performance but those are hard to get on video.

Childrens Museum

If you have not been to the childrens museum....you must go!! Brady has an absolute blast there and we have visited it 3 times already. The first time we went daddy got to join us for a little while and see our little man run around. The second time we went with my mother-in-law Linda and she got to enjoy holding Logan and see Brady have fun. This past time we went...our buddy Carter got to go. We drove all the way from Surprise down to the Museum which is located at 7th street and VanBuren - as soon as we pulled in to park we see two buses. Darn - we have come on a field trip day. We were there maybe 45 min and I said enough....I promised Carter that Aunt Lindsey will bring him back when its not so crazy. There was just way too many kids all packed in the rooms and they were so big and knocking the boys over. Its a good idea to call and see if there is any schools coming in and what time. I got 3 free passes to come another day. We picked up Ryan to have lunch with us. We snagged some Subway and went to the park for some nice out door fun.

Uncorked & Unplugged

Last night Ryan and I went to an event called Uncorked & Unplugged with Daniel and Jessica. Jessica, got the tickets thru her work and was kind enough to ask Ryan and I to join them since we had not yet been out together with out the kiddies. Dave came over and watched the kids which was so great. The event took place down at Desert Ridge. As you walk in they hand you a little wine glass that fits so nicely into your plate and they place a wrist band on you that has 10 drink tickets on it. You go around and sample all these different food and beverages. Each time you get a drink you take off one of your tickets. Anyways...we all walked around and sampled all these different foods and wine and had a great time. Hard to explain how it was set up but, they had a band playing in one area which we have a picture with them. Show stoppers was there with good ol Neil Diamond and in another area they had Tina Turner who the boys said fell off the stage into a bush -- Jessica and I regretfully missed that happening.

I think one of my favorite parts was when Jessica and I went and used the Ladies Room and came back to meet the boys where they were waiting and watching Tina sing....there were two gals hanging out right next to our men. Jessica and I walked up to them and the women totally walked away. OMG....they were so trying to get our guys!!! Well, its not surprising...being that our husbands are so good looking.

We had a wonderful time and it was so nice to get out of the house and have an adult night. Its always hard for me to leave my kiddies but, it sure was nice to just have some time with my hubby and friends. Thanks again Daniel and Jessica for letting us tag along and have a fun night out!!!

**Below are our pictures from Ryans Blackberry -- we forgot our cameras so they are kinda fuzzy. I also took a picture of our wrist bands....as you can see - there are still plenty of drink tickets left.**

The Boys

I have always thought that Brady and Logan look totally different but, I have a lot of people tell me that Logan looks just like Brady did at his age. Well, its pretty safe to say they look completely different.

Brady Barfing!

Logan Barfing!

SURPRISE!!!!

We have moved to Surprise! Ryan and I are soooo happy to be in our new home. I thought it would be fun to share some " Under Construction " pictures on our blog and then once we are all moved in and things are on the walls I will post some more pictures to show the huge improvements. I am sure everyone knows how much work it is to move and I have moved about 5 times in the last 5 years but, my gosh.....this was the hardest yet. Still super busy unloading boxes and trying to make it feel warm and cozy. It will be awhile before we get everything accomplished that we have planned. We need to get a lot of window covering/blinds and the whole house has to be painted. I have put pictures below of what the house looked like right after we unloaded the Uhaul. Its coming along a little more everyday. Hope everyone who can will come over and say hello and see our new beautiful home.

Introducing....Trenton Drew Strong

We are in the process of unpacking from our big move and I have no free time on my hands at all BUT.....I am going to do a quick post and steal my sisters slide show of my newest nephew. Trenton Drew Strong who was born on October 3rd, weighing in at 7lbs 3oz and 19 inches long. Our new little family member gave his mom and dad some sleepless nights with his jaundice but, is now in the comfort of his own home doing great. He is such a beautiful little boy! My sister Jillian did an AMAZING job keeping it all together while she was in the hospital and totally looked fabulous. She is one of those people who you go and visit after having a baby and she looks like she put on fresh makeup and did her hair for the day.....makes me sick! :-)
We are so very excited to have our new nephew to watch grow and accomplish new things in this world. We love you lots Trenton - Welcome to the family.
