For some silly reason, Jaden likes to crash on the stairs and fall asleep. We came home from shopping and Jaden crashed in his little spot. Kian couldn't leave him alone. He was poking and prodding and Jaden didn't budge an inch. Then he started bringing down toys and putting them on him. Poor Jaden is starting to get picked on.

Kian has a little obsession with boxes. I don't know if it's just a boy thing or what but he can't see a box and not climb into it. We stuck this one in our kitchen to see how long it would take for him to get in. He came and jumped in the second he saw it.

Kian has a new obsession with stacking things. I don't as much mind him stacking the seasonings as I do our glass cups. He gets his sticky hands all over them and so I end up washing them all. He has so much fun though that I have a hard time not letting him do it.

Only boys!!

Where are the keys?

Kian Tanner Knight... Seriously? So my life has been quite a bit more stressful for me since I have gone back to work. Every second of the day seems to be filled up and if I don't go.. go... go... I will not be able to get things done when needed. Anyway I went to leave the house and I couldn't find the keys anywhere. I searched and searched for at least what felt like 20 mins when the light switch finally went off. I'm a genius. The last place I remembered the keys was on the kitchen counter and guess who else was there? Ok, don't guess it was Kian. So I dug through the disgusting trash can which was next to the counter with no luck. He is known to throw all sorts of things in the garbage. Realizing that he had previously stuck a spoon in the milk jug I decided I better give it a look. And what do you know. There it was in the bottom of a full Vitamin D milk jug swimming around. After much stressing.... because we only had one key which belonged to a car that wasn't even ours (another story) I finally found it. Kian Tanner Knight you are a silly silly boy!

Halloween 2009

We had another great Halloween this year.

Mike & Summer put on an amazing party!!! Here are some pics.

David was a giant bag of M&M's, Lacie was Cindy Lu Hoo (Halloween style), Jaden was a spider, and Kian was a lion.

One Spoiled Monkey

I can't believe that my baby boy has turned four. Wow!! I asked him what he wanted to do for his birthday and he told me that he wanted the hugest, biggest birthday ever. Then I asked him who he wanted to invite and he held up both hands and then sat down and held up his feet and said this many. Well my biggest regret of the party was that we couldn't invite everyone. I thought it would be fun to make monkey tails and ears for all of the kids so that they could all be curious monkeys for a day. We have so many great friends that we didn't get to invite because I was burned out on making monkey tails. Anyway, here are a few fun pics of the party!

Check out the awesome cake!! Thank you so much Ollie for making the cute cake and cupcakes. She always does an amazing job.

In the monkeys only zone we had bubbles,

a pool with jello,

painting, water balloons, and jumping on the mattress.

(I found this kind of cool inflatable easel for only $10. I say kind of cool because it had a hole in it from the very beginning and kept deflating.)

Cute little curious monkeys.

My mom, sister, sister, and sister-in-law came to play and help out. Thanks for coming all the way to Logan to come see us. You're the greatest! Oh and Happy Birthday on the 9th, Amory:)

Jaden said that his favorite thing about the whole party was the presents.

My friend, Emily did the amazing face painting. She is so talented.

Wow, what a day. We had a blast. Thanks to everyone for pitching in and helping out.

Lagoon

Our awesome friends hooked us up with some cheap tickets for Lagoon and so we couldn't resist. Anyone who knows me well, knows that I LOVE going on rides. And anyone who knows David, knows how much he doesn't like rides. So it worked out great! Dave took the kids on all of the kiddy rides and we went and played on all of the big ones. HA! Not really. Dave actually went on most of them with us. We all had a blast!

Jaden had a blast. He went on countless rides and didn't whine or complain the whole time we were there. We left Kian with Dave's sister so that we could spend a little one on one with Jaden. (Thanks Kathy for helping us out, we owe you.)

Our great friends, the Woods.

If it looks like there is a little romance going on here you are right.

This ride is my favorite. I LOVE the rides that drop my stomach. I could go on it over and over again all day long. But of course this ride happens to be Dave's least favorite. My least favorite ride of the day was by far the Rattlesnake rapids. I always get drenched on that ride. I came off of it soaked and was freezing forever. Thanks guys for all of the fun. We really did have a great time.

Homemade Tornado

We went home to the farms to see our family and my boys really have fun exploring everything.

Jaden and his Cousin Damen discovered that they could make some really big dust tornados.

We spent a ton of time freezing corn while the boys played on all of the big toys.
