Halloween 2010

The boys had a great Halloween this year. Brody wore Log's hand me down Yoda costume, but it is still cute. Adam really wanted to be Batman, eventhough Billy tried to get him to be something a little more original, and Logan was Captain America. Don't look too closely at the costume b/c I made it...I tried my best. I had fun doing it eventhough it probably cost as much as buying it, the hope is that it will last longer this way b/c he will wear it every day! They had fun at the ward trunk or treat and at a friend Halloween party. They got gobs of candy and guess who else has been eating it? Me! Not good!! Brod has discovered how much he likes candy--also not good!









We also went to the pumpkin patch for preschool. Logan always has a good time, but by the end he is tired so he always wants to go home and tells me he didn't have fun. He is just a stinker sometimes! He decorated a pumpkin and we went on a hayride. I was tired by the end, luckily it wasn't hot!


Birthdays!


All our bdays are fairly close together. Adam turned 6 this year. He chose to have a Transformers cake (one of the easier ones to make). We also went to Austin's Park and Pizza and had fun riding bumper boats, the cars, and climbing the wall. The pizza was definitely the downside. Billy actually heard they changed the name to just Austin's Park b/c the pizza is so bad! :)

Next was BG's bday, that's what we call him, or just Beege. He turned 1. Poor little thing was sick on his birthday. He had a really bad sore throat and owies in his mouth. He wasn't much for eating his cake. Since then he has come to LOVE cake! It was a low key day at home.




Logan just celebrated his bday in October turning 4. Again, he just wanted to have a family party. He got lots of Star Wars guys and Bionicles. The Star Wars are definitely a favorite at this house, but Billy has to hide the small parts so the boys don't lose them and so BG doesn't get them. Logan chose a clone trooper cake and it was a little more difficult. Again, don't look closely cuz it isn't that good, it is just something I have fun doing.

We're still here!

It has been forever since I've posted. I wasn't feeling too inspired on blogging for the past year. So much happens in a year, so it is kind of sad I haven't posted those things so we can remember them, but what can I say? I'm lazy!

Billy started a new position with his company a month or so ago, which also means a "new" truck. He got a black, unmarked truck. It isn't new by any means, but he was just glad to get rid of the yellow truck and not be a driving billboard. As for me, I don't really care, it was always easy to find the truck, now I actually have to remember where I park if I drive it to the store:)

Little Man is now a year! He is finally walking and I am glad. It's frustrating having a baby who can't walk, and plus, now he is much happier!

More recently I've been redecorating the downstairs. I was so tired of the red decor I had in my house. I enjoy decorating, doing crafts, and sewing, but sometimes I don't feel like I'm that good at it or all that inspired. It would be so nice to have my mom or sisters here to help give me ideas. Luckily there are so many blogs that I have found ideas/inspiration from. I've had fun buying new fabrics and sewing curtains and pillows. One thing I've gotten into recently is going to thriftstores to look for accessories or furniture. I never thought I'd like it, but I have fun trying to find something that I can either transform (paint) or use in my house for very inexpensive. Granted 95% of the things I come across are horrible, but there are some good things out there. I found a little entry table on craigslist a few weeks ago and painted it, it was pretty fun. Now, I am planning to paint the kitchen table.

Anyway, maybe I'll be better about posting this year!
