Halloween fun 2010

I was able to go to Grant's school and help out with the Halloween party for his class on Thursday! It was a lot of fun!This is him and his friend Kysa!

Grant was out of school on Friday so I took him up to the University of Utah to go trick-or-treating. My aunt Susie works up there. We went last year and had a lot of fun so when she asked me if I wanted to bring the boys up this year I was excited. Grant loved it!!!

Aunt Susu with my boys! Man does she love them!

 Grayson in his stroller at Aunt Susu's work!

Friday night Jared had the privledge of baptising his little brother Tyson! What a special experience!

 Dumby me, I forgot my camera when we left Susie's work, so we had to go up and get it later that night. I thought this was a cute picture of Grant and Syssa! He just loves her so much!

 Grayson is all dressed up from Uncle Tyson's baptism.

 Saturday we started making our rounds at about 3:30. We went to visit Grandpa Craig first!

 Then we went up to Maama and Papa's for some yummy homemade chili!

 Then we went to Uncle Cody's. We left Grayson with Maama, cause he wasnt feeling very good and I didnt want to take him out in the cold and rain.

 Grant and Uncle Cody!

 Next we went to Ian and Monica's to go trick-or-treating with Talon and Kyrie. I guess this year Grant decided he would rather go with his cousins than just go with mom. I dont blame him!

 Ian, Monica, Talon, Grant, and Kyrie

 Ian scared all the little kiddies in the neighborhood! He got so into character, it was hilarious.

 Talon was a nerd, headgear and all! Grant had so much fun with his cousins!

Then we went back to Maama and Papa's for some more chili and to just hang out with our favorite people!

Here is Grant in his SWAT costume!

 And here is my sweet little puppy dog!

 

We had a great Halloween week this year! What fun it is to have two sweet little boys to share the fun with!!

Pumpkin Carving 2010

I LOVE LOVE LOVE family traditions! And this is one of my favorites! Carving pumpkins is just good messy fun! Thank you to my mommy and daddy for making Holidays so special for ME and MY KIDS!!!

We even got Jared to help this year!

Grant drew a face on paper and then Jared carved it out for him. It turned out so cute!

There were soooo many seeds. Brock sat and picked through them all night.

Grant taking a break to play some UTES football! haha

And here are our pumpkins...Papa's, Grant's, mine, and CJ's

My poor little guy didnt feel good. What better place to be than in the arms of someone who loves you?

Grant and CJ

Crazy boy

Grant is coming up with his face to carve into his pumpkin

Papa and me cleaning out our pumpkins

He thinks he is funny! haha

There is no place Maama or Grayson would have rather been! Being in your Maama's arms while you dont feel good is the best!!!

We love you soooo much Maama!!

Grayson's first instacare visit

Friday I noticed that Grayson had been sleeping a lot more than usual and when I would try to wake him up it was impossible. He also wasnt eating great, like he usually does. As we were getting ready to go to Red Robin for Morgan's birthday I noticed that he was feeling warm so I took his temp and it was 100 degrees. Any GOOD mother would have stayed home to cuddle her little man all night, but not me because I SUCK!! So we piled in the car and stopped at Walmart on the way. I asked the pharmacist what I could give him, since he is only 6 weeks old. We got some tylenol and gave him some and we were on our way. He acted fine at dinner, but on our way home he was hot again. When we got home I got him naked and just put a lite blankie over him and he cooled right down. I also noticed that he had a lot of goop in his eye. It was pretty gross. With the help of tylenol he slept for 6 hours and when he woke up his eye was sealed shut with all the goop it had leaked. I called my mom, because that is what I do if I am in doubt about anything. She is definitely my "Go To Girl" And she always knows just what to do. So I decided that he needed to be seen by a doctor. We took him to instacare and the doctor told us it was just a little eye infection, not really a big deal unless left untreated. So we got a Rx for eye drops that I have to give him every 4 hours and she said we needed to watch his fever really closely. If it got to 101 degrees we needed to take him straight to Primary Childrens Hospital. Thank God it never got much over 100. I am still doing the eye drops, but his eye is looking much better and he doesnt have a fever any more! I am so glad it wasnt something more serious. And my little man is feeling much better!

Happy birthday Moe Dizzle

Tonight we went out to dinner at Red Robin for Jared's sisters birthday! It was fun!

Happy birthday Moe!

Cody gave Grant a "tear jerker" One of those really sour candies.

He loved it. Didnt even think it was sour. Crazy kid.

Pumpkin patch 2010

We went to the pumpkin patch tonight. I didnt get very good pictures, but we had a lot of fun and that is what really matters! Grayson was a stinker. I tried so hard to wake him up and he just refused. He was really tired I guess. I just love his little jacket though. We actually went to 2 different places because we were very unimpressed with the pumpkins at the first place. Found MUCH better pumpkins at the second place. I love this time of year, because of all these fun activities! Cant wait to carve our pumpkins this weekend with Maama and Papa.

My boys

How stinking LUCKY am I???

I am so grateful to have these boys in my life!!!
