In a Galaxy far, far away........

In a Galaxy far, far away....

there were four clone troopers

who defended their home from

all evil doings.

Some were small but all

were strong.

There was not a weak one among them.

They defeated all the evil ones

and came home safe and sound!

Now guess which one is which.

Some loved the clone trooper helmet much

more than others but it was fun indeed.

Happy 7th Birthday Miles!!!!!

I can't believe that I have a 7 year old, that makes me feel old and that time is just zipping by me. Sunday was Miles' birthday and we had Shane and Becky over and it was a great day. Miles got everything he wanted and was very happy. He got his DS and an Indiana Jones game and the Star Wars Legos that he loves. Then he got some great jammies and a clone trooper helmet that is really fun to play with. Happy Birthday Miles. We love ya!

Star Wars Party

Those of you who have ever attended one of the birthday parties I have put on, you may have noticed that I have a tendency to go a little overboard. But I love throwing a good party that is for sure. So this year Miles wanted a Star Wars Party, so in June, I started mulling around my ideas for a great party. But Miles really wanted a Nintendo DS for his bday and that was a pretty big bday present and so I told him that he could have one friend to dinner and a movie and the DS or he could have a big party. Fortunately he chose the one friend which turned into three. It was the easiest party ever. Mark took all of the boys to see WALL-E and I stayed home with Blake and Jonathan. My job was to pick up pizza and make chocolate light sabers (see I can still stick with the Star Wars theme!) and make goodie bags. They came back from the movie, had pizza and cupcakes and we sent them on their way. I loved it, so stress free and Miles loved it. I guess those big grand old parties aren't so great, but don't worry I am already planning the Luau for Blakes first Birthday! I always wanted a summer baby so I could throw a fun Luau. Poor MD is going to have to find a place to dig a pit for the pig! Ha, but everyone is invited. So small bdays are fun but I love the big ones just as much

We Did It!!

Well Jonathan has been somewhat poddie training for a while, but with Blake being born and all, I just went a little slower than normal. But we can finally say that "We Did it!!" I consider my kids poddie trained when at home they go without telling me or when we are out and about they can actually tell me they have to go and Jonathan has passed these two milestones. Not to say that he hasn't or won't continue to have accidents but overall he is going all by himself. Congrats Jonathan. Now I am back to only one in diapers and that is a nice feeling overall, especially on the pocket book.

Family Time

I finally got some pictures of everyone and wanted to put them up. I got a picture of Miles finally, since he always is hiding when the camera comes out. Then we took some family pictures, as best as can be expected. I think these are some pretty cute boys, but I am definately very biased on that. Oh well, my blog my opinions, right!!

FINALLY he sleeps.... If you have seen several blogs ago, you will understand that this is a VERY busy little two year old. On Sunday, he didn't have a nap and was laying next to Dad and fell asleep, even before we could get his arms into his jammies. Oh he is soooo angelic when he is sleeping! Ha I don't let it fool me though.

Blake's Blessing Day

We had Blake given a name and blessing in our Sacrament meeting on October 12th. It was a very special day. We had a lot of family come, despite the bad weather, and helped make this a very nice day. There was tons of yummy food and great company, so Blake won't remember what happend on his special day, but I will and it was nice to get so much love and support.

Well I didn't even get one picture of my family all together, so I will have to piece together several to see everyone. Except Miles was hiding out in all of them.

"Dirt Clod Heaven!!"

Miles and Ryan didn't have school today, so we went to our friend Sara's new house and played on all of the big hills in her backyard. These boys were in heaven. Miles kept calling it his dirt clod heaven. They had so much fun climbing up and down and throwing the dirt clods down the hills. Ryan and Jonathan loved sliding down on their backs and then running back up the hill. Needless to say, their shoes were filled with dirt and they were very dusty. But it was worth it because they were entertained for a long time and they had sooo much fun. I am coming to terms with dirt because my boys love it so much that I will have to learn to like it, one way or another.

Definately a busy body!

Here are some shots of Jonathan doing what he does best, get messy and pretend. I wanted him to try on the Dumbo costume to see if it fit for Halloween and then he wouldn't take it off. He will probably be tired of it by the time Halloween comes, so I grabbed a few pictures now, so in 20 years when I get to scrapbook, I will have a picture of him at halloween.
