Look at the time!!!

Oh yeah... we are selling our 4-Runner.... Trent has decided that we NEED a minivan.... He is funny. He really loves them so much and has been dying to get one since we started having kids. I am not kidding. So when our Friends put theirs up for sale he jumped on it. It is official I will become a minivan Mom. Don't laugh because I never thought it would happen but it is true. Oh well, at least is is a cute one right. Thanks Kevin and Jamie!

Playing outdoors. If Brock even hears the door open he makes a beeline for it, and he just follows Pierces lead. Always wanting to be in the action. Pierce guides him around and tries to make him laugh.

Brock just backed up into Trent's lap and just got cozy. He loves his daddy. I couldn't resist this picture. He was so content just sitting there with his daddy.

Trent entertaining the boys.. what a fun dad. LUCKY boys! Don't worry the undies were clean!

Cute little buddy. He tries so hard to be happy. I wish I could be more like him. he has the funnest personality.

Our studly pumpkins!

Can't get enough of this cute one!

Seriously why in the crap am I still awake? I cannot sleep tonight! I am not sure why. I have been so worried about my little Brockie today. I just want him to get better. I know that I just might be blowing this out of proportion but I can't help it I am a mother. I guess it comes with the territory right? I just had to blog about this because I need to get it of my chest. why do I have to be such a worry wort? Why can't I just let it go and fall asleep.. I think it is genetics! Here I sit wide awake at one in the morning knowing that in just a few short hours my sweet little angel children will awake and I will be so exhausted! Still I cannot fall asleep. Anyways here are some goings on at our house this past week.....

We carved pumpkins... well I carved them while Trent entertained the kids. They lost interest in the pumpkins after about 5 seconds. They didn't turn out the cutest, but I got the job done!

Trent and I got to go to the BYU game on Saturday. Thanks to our good friends Joe and Ashley.. we had lots of fun catching up. I am pretty sure Ashley and I really had no clue what was going on in the game we just loved chatting. It really is great that we get along so well. I wish we lived closer. Thanks to my parents for keeping the boys so we could enjoy the game.

Trent's dad came and visited Friday night. Pierce and Brockie love their "Brown Papa" they were sad to see him go as always. We stayed up late and chatted. I realize more and more how much Trent and his dad are alike.

Also this weekend Trent's friend Brandon "Cougar" came to visit. Pierce thought he was so cool. He really enjoyed having him around to play with. So did Trent and I, it really brought back a lot of memories of when Trent and I were dating. We had so many good times with Cougar! We really miss him. And here is hoping he finds the perfect girl to marry. We are routing for him.. so if you know a really great girl we know a really great guy!

We have been super busy. I only wish time would pass a little slower my boys are really growing up too fast. I just want to enjoy this time. Pierce seriously is getting too big. he is always saying the funniest things. He is really into Toys Story lately and it always pretending to be Buzz Lightyear. Brock thinks Pierce is the best thing alive, they are starting to interact more and more lately it melts my heart.

Today at church was the Primary Program. I must say I felt the spirit so strongly. Children have such powerful influences. I love that song "If the Savior Stood beside Me" What a testimony builder. It is so great to see the excitement in the children as they each had a special part in the program... it is contagious. I love the Primary children.

As you can probably tell I am just rambling on and on jumping from subject to subject.... maybe I should try to get some sleep.

Doctors visit after doctors visit...

That is what we have been up to lately. My poor little Brockie cannot seem to get better. In the last two months he has had 4 ear infections. I had a check up today to see if the last one had healed and they said Nope they actually look worse! What? How can that be? I feel so bad for my little Lumpy. He tries so hard to be happy when I know he is just feeling crappy.So today they decided that the antibiotics( 1. Amoxocilian, 2. Augmenton, 3. Omnicef) all have not worked. They gave him and injection of an antibiotic.. it is supposed to be stronger! He said they normally only give one dose to other children but they have decided to give Brock three doses. So we have to go back tomorrow and Friday for more shots! I really hope that this can help him. Also tomorrow we will be going to an Allergist to have him tested to see if he really is allergic to peanuts, maybe even cats and dogs? Then on Monday he gets to go to and ENT specialist to talk about getting tubes. Looks like he will be living at the Doctors for the next week! Poor little buddy! I hope that he can feel better soon so we can be happy again!

thanks for the idea Ian...

This is his Wall-e face!


My cute little Lumpy!

So we were super bored last night. Last time we were at Dax's house he had this cardboard box that he wore around pretending to be Wall-e. So pierce suggested that we make him a box so that he can be Wall-e like Dax. I have to say it was pretty fun to make and we were both laughing our heads off making it. After we made it though he said now you need to make one for Brockie.. he should be Eve. Hahaha anyways we had a good time and were entertained. So thanks Ian for the idea!We finished the evening with a Ice-cream cone. Brock loves Ice-cream he can down them so fast. It is really cute.

So this Tuesday for Joyschool we went on a little field trip to Black Island Farm. Pierce was so excited to go with all his Friends. This place was really neat. We started out on a little hay ride through all their crops. The guy showed the boys all sorts of things like huge onions, carrots, corn, Indian corn. Then at the end we got to pick a pumpkin out of the pumpkin patch. Pierce was so proud. One of my favorite parts was when the guy held up the ear of corn it still had the green husk on it. He said "does anybody know what this is?" Pierce with such excitement said "It is a banana!" I couldn't stop laughing. He thought he was right. Anyways I guess I better started teaching him the different vegis and fruits! After our little ride they have a little kiddie land where there are huge slides and animals, and a train. Of course my shy little Pierce wanted nothing to do with the big slides but he had fun with the train and animals!

Brockie was such a trooper and he had lots of fun too... pretty much whenever he is doing things with Pierce he just loves it. They are usually inseparable!
Train ride.. Yee-Ha
Proud pumpkin picture!

OoOoOo....This is Halloween... BoO!

Halloween is definetely in the air at our house we have been going crazy with decorating. I have been trying to keep the boys busy so that I don't go too nuts.. my attempts are failing though!After yesterdays wonderful winter weather I was beginning to think that maybe we should have been decorating for another holiday (Christmas... I am so not ready for that!) call me a scrouge but I need more time! Then after venturing out to stores this morning I cannot believe that they have Christmas decorations out all ready.. and all of the Halloween and harvest decorations are clearanced out? It seems like the stores are jumping the gun a little earlier this year. Pretty soon you will see Christmas trees for sale in the place of a pumpkin! Anyways now that you sense my Bah Humbugness, here is some photos of our "Cute" Decoration projects... Or not so cute!

We made these bats with Pierce's handprints they actually turned out better than I thought.
Cnady Corn Men... UGLY! I saw this pattern online and thought those would be cute but as you can tell I have no artistic abilities!
Pumpkins and spiders.. these were fun.
I also got this idea online too. Skeletons out of Qtips. Pierce was begging me to make a skeleton so here ya go.. his is the top one he had a blast!
Oh ya and this is our "Pet Spider" (that is what Pierce tells people) He even named him "spooky"! Every morning he comes out and says" Nope, he hasn't moved yet!" Happy haunting!

nothing that interesting I promise!

List 6 unspectacular quirks of yours:
Here it goes.... if you get bored after the first one it is okay, I won't be offended!

1. I know this may be funny to you but I have issues with bathroom rugs and carpets. I have a fear that I will get something on my feet that I will not like. I wash my bathroom rugs at least once a week sometimes twice. When I get out of the shower I do not stand on them. Trent often laughs because I never use them. They are more for decoration in my book. I line up towels all along the bathroom floor to step on because heaven knows what could be on those rugs. When I got to other peoples houses my biggest fear is that they will ask me to remove my shoes and I won't have socks on to cover my feet. nothing against anyone just a phobia I have. WEIRD! So usually I carry socks in my purse if this is to occur!
2. I absolutely am a wimp when it comes to being home alone. I cannot do it... Trent could NEVER have a job where he travels a lot I would not survive! I scare my self out of my pants.. like what was that noise? Is someone trying to break in.. etc etc! I am a scaredy cat that is for sure.
3. I am officially OCD when it comes to cleaning. (Thanks Mom) Seriously when I was growing up I would always say I will never be like my mom. She used to make us vacuum and clean the bathrooms like everyday. The sad thing is folks I am almost just like her if not worse. I find my self cleaning all the time. and Pierce often says to me " mama not again" I might need some help!
4. I have a jacked up thermostat. I am hot then cold then hot. I am hardly ever just right! This drives Trent nuts! Sorry I can't quite figure it out myself!
5. I am a really bad driver. Watch out I am on the road! no serious. It amazes me that I haven't died yet... I am one of those unconfident nervous drivers that can't make up their minds that you and everyone else is passing and mad saying," get off the road!" ya that is me. Sorry I apologize in advance and knock on wood that my luck still is in affect!
6. I am super shy. I know that this might come as a shock to some of you.. if you know me really well. But I do have this problem. When I was in high school people always thought I was major stuck up.. I was a titch bratty but stuck up no. I am just so shy. I would never be the one to introduce myself or make conversation sorry for all of you who have had to pick up my slack. I really do try but I just can't. It happens all too often still you think I would have gotten over that by now, but no! So please forgive me in advance if I seem rude.

Pierce is funny

So I thought I would share this story because I thought it was funny. You probably won't but here it is anyways. Last night I said to Pierce, " Hey should we turn on some music and dance?" He said, " Um sure". So I said to him " Who do you want to listen to?" and without skipping a beat he said, " How about some Chris Brown!" I was laughing so hard... I haven't ever mentioned his name, although I do like him. It really does amaze me on what he picks up on. Anyways that is my funny story!
