Thanks Aunt Gay

Brad's Aunt Gaylene is here in town from Washington. On Monday night she treated all the kids to a place called Blast Off in Idaho Falls. It was so very nice of her and Hunter LOVED it!! We had never been there before and that place is awesome. Hunter just played and played with his sweet cousin, Averee. Hunter just adores her and she has always been so good to him. When we got home Hunter just crashed and went right down. Thanks again Aunt Gay!! It was great to see you!!

A little bit of Brooke

And a little bit of Hunter....

Whew

I have been meaning to blog and yet I havent. Let's see. On saturday we went with the family bowling. It was great to get out the house and to be with the family. Hunter has a blast, Brad and I did as well. Brooke was just starting to get sick.

Hunter love's to gin in Gookie's room and say "goodmorning gookie!" He also likes climbing into bed with her. She loves it as well, I guess I am the only hater in this situation.

I FINALLY got to read the second Book to Hunger Games. Brad go it from someone at work and i started and finished it yesterday!! LOVE it!.

Last week when i weighed myself i had gained back 2 pounds out of the 4 I had lost. When we went last night I had lost the other two, so i am back to having lost 4 pounds. I am quite happy and continue forward.


Gookie has had a cold and it started getting in her chest yesterday. By last night she sounded like a barking seal.. Croup. SO i was up with her with the humidifier but what really worked was sitting in the cool air in the garage. I was going to take her to the E.R. but once outside she really did better. She isnt coughing as much today but her breathing is horrible. poor baby. We have a dr appointment this afternoon. I hate when the kiddos are sick and miserable! breaks my heart.

Gookie on the move!!!

Tuesday night Gookie just started scooting, or rather kerplopping everywhere!! She goes into corners that Hunter didnt discover until he was way older. It is so fun! Again, no making fun of my baby talk!

Gookie has always been a snuggler, but she hasn't ever snuggles with Brad since she was like one month. He tries and tries and she just wont. Last night however, she did and I think it made Bradley's day. These pictures are just too cute!




Who invented daylight savings time anyways? My guess is a man who did not have children! I used to love gaining an hour of sleep, but that goes to pot when you have young kiddos!



I feel like time is just flying by!! Hunter looks older and older everyday and Gookie is all over the place! Yet, some days I feel like I am still 17 years old and just playing house. And then I look in the mirror or I am at the gym on campus and that is when I feel old.

Halloween Festivities

Friday night was the Family party in Shelley and Papa Steve and Memaw were HOT!!!
Saturday we had our traditional shingdig at our house. We had Auntie, Uncle Yak, Auntie and Uncle Berret and another couple, Will and Rose, from our ward over. We played games, the men took the kids trick or treating, we had yummy food.... It was a good time.
berret and tanya were duck hunters and hallie was a duck (i dont have pictures, you will have to look at their blog)
Sam and Zak were siamese twins (their pants were sewn together)
Brad was Facebook, i was a lumber jack, Hunter was superman and Gookie was a ballerina. It was a very low budget halloween which is wonderful because the kiddos arent picky, yet..
It was a fun time. I cant believe it is now November!!













p.s. what a dumb idea to try and loose weight right before the holidays!! I will know tonight when i go to work out and weigh myself how badly i did. I feel like i gained back all the weight and that depresses me. So now i know it is SOOOO not worth the yummy brownies, or banana nut chocolate chip cookie!!
