Thanksgiving Point Dino Museum

We went to the dino museum this summer with some homeschool friends. It was a lot of Fun!

Silly Simon #3

Yesterday Travis came home from work and saw Simon out in the field digging with his shovel. (As a side note, digging is Simon's VERY most favorite thing to do in the whole world. He is out there digging, usually in my flower beds, for at least 2 hours every day. As a result he usually takes about 2 baths a day.) Travis asked him what he was doing in the field and he said he was digging a grave in case anyone died. I have no idea where he got that idea from, but it cracked me up!

Random Pictures

Simon showing off his muscles! He is very proud of them right now and we often sneak peaks of him flexing in the mirror! He makes me laugh!

Jonah made an Indiana Jones costume all by himself. I thought he did a pretty good job!

Luke's Birthday

Luke's Birthday was a few days ago. We had so much fun. He didn't realize at all what was going on, but for the most part he was a happy boy and enjoyed his new toys and books he got. Here are some pictures from his party!

In honor of him I have added a few photos of him over the last 2 years. I cannot believe how fast it has gone!

Luke is talking pretty well now. Among my favorite words he says are "Stuck" (which he says several times a day because he is usually "stuck" some place up high that he has climbed and cannot get down, or because his little finger is "stuck" in something that he has put it into), "Bo",which is our dog's name, but he also uses it for book, ball and pretty much anything that starts with a B sound, "Cheese", which means any kind of food, and "EAT!!" which is always screamed and is the most frequent of the words he says. (except maybe "mommy", which is screamed quite often as well)Yes, I have yet another boy that never stops eating and always thinks he is starving! Luke just happens to be the biggest eater of all, which is saying a lot! People are constantly amazed by how much he eats!
He love shoes and always has anybodies shoes on, but his own. He likes to be clean, which is not like my other boys. He actually cries when he is dirty. He is a great helper and cleans up his messes a lot of the time. He loves to wrestle and play with his dad and brothers! He is the best snuggler of all my boys and I love it! He also loves to take his diaper off right now, which I don't love, but what do you do? I might try duct taping it on one of these days, but I don't think he will hold still long enough to allow that. No matter, we love him still and we are so glad he is in our family!

Chocolate Zucchini Cake

So last night for FHE I made a chocolate zucchini cake. It was so good! My boys gobbled it up. I took some cute pictures of them with chocolate all over.

The best part about it is that it is a pretty healthy cake as far as cake goes. I posted the recipe here http://weallcook.blogspot.com/ if anybody wants it. It was fabulous!

Footzonology Graduation

Well, it has been over a month since I graduated. I decided that I should post some pictures about my experience in Montana. I had a wonderful time. I learned alot while I was there. I took my test and did very well. We had so much fun!

This is Kirsten, Shauna, Katrie (our instructor) and I at Graduation

After graduation we had a celebration. We sang and danced and played games. It was so freeing and stress relieving! This is us dancing.

Luke's new past time

So, Luke has figured out how to open doors now, so he is constantly in my pantry. I caught him in there the other day and took this picture. Then I realized...

That I had done this before! Simon at about the same age! It made me laugh!

Obsession with Texas

I really don't know what Simon's obsession with Texas is, but he just threw out a new one that made me laugh. He was mad at Bo (our dog) for trying to eat his pretzels so he said, "I'm going to send you away to Texas were the bulls are and where the twisters live!". Where does he learn this stuff? Rebecca are you talking to my son without me knowing?
