Emmett: "Mom, you have a stinkin' cute face. I love it." In an extra loud voice, during sacrament meeting, "Dad, you're a stinky butt!" In a conversation between his Buzz Lightyear to Army Guy toy, "I'm gonna put you in a coma!" Miles: Constantly, "No, no, no!" Me, "Who wants a banana?" Miles, "I do!" "Stinky" "Tank you" ...
Here is our Toy Story gang, including Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Mrs. Potatohead, and an Army Guy. Shirles helped me sew a last minute costume for myself and we were good to go. We had so much fun! Highlights of the evening: Emmett, enjoying Grandma Doreen's "Ginger Crap Cookies". A lady handing Emmett a bag of chips and him replying, "No thankyou. I don't want them....
My oldest celebrated his third birthday on Wednesday. It was a really special day. I overheard him in the morning talking to Tyson saying that he didn't want to go to the gym but wanted to play with his Daddy. Tyson responded, "It's your birthday, Emmett. If you want to stay with me today, then you can." I was so touched that Tyson...
Here are our pumpkins we made for Family Home Evening. Emmett was making a scary face. I like to keep my crafts nice and simple. Tyson, on the other hand, went for Scooby Doo and did a great job. And Miles enjoyed watching. He looks so much like Tyson in this picture. Our across-the-street neighbours added some spooky decorations to their home and...
I woke up this morning to two little boys in my bed, wrestling and laughing together. And it hit me, I no longer have a baby and a toddler but two little boys who fight, annoy, and occasionally play together. I'm glad they still like to play with me though! Emmett said to me , "I punched my Dad and he cried. Yeah, I...
Some prayers were answered this week. Public Health decided that the risk of Miles' spreading Salmonella is so low, since he is no longer symptomatic, that he can go back to childcare. Yay! That means our routine can resume. Although I'm sure grateful to my mom, Hallie Leavitt, Tyson, and Cherisse for helping me out with the kids for the last few weeks. On...
Today is Thanksgiving and we definately spent the weekend amongst the people who remind us what we're thankful for in life. On Saturday we went to Calgary to dine with the Leavitt's at Shantel and Mike's. All were there except Dallen and Stacy who were in Arizona. And then on Sunday we spent the day at Pat and Shirles'. Today we woke up,...
Emmett: "Mom, I colored on my Daddy's plans [blueprints for work]. I'm sorry. It wasn't an accident. So don't be mean at me. Don't be mean at me... like that [I was giving him a fake serious look]." Speaking of Emmett, I've been meaning to post these pics for a while since we've been continually acccumulating them. If anyone knows Emmett's Uncle Peck,...
Poor sweet Miles is sick today. He began the day by throwing up. Luckily, Daddy was able to take a lunch and cuddle break at home so I could go teach my Body Sculpt class. Unfortunately, this is not the only sickness Miles has had recently. A few weeks ago, he started having terrible diarrhea which had me stressing out. I took him...
Tyson was recently nominated by one of his suppliers for "Young Entrepreneur of the Year." So he needed me to write out his Nominee Profile. I told him I would but he needed to go watch the kids because I can't write as well if I'm distracted. So naturally he left the house, saying they were fine, and not long after, this is...
In August had we our family pictures taken. So much work but so worth it. It sprinkled rain on us the entire shoot but luckily we got some good shots before it began to pour! Surprisingly, I didn't freak out at all. It helped that we had a great photographer who was well warned about my one smaller eye and Tyson's tendency for...
July 23, 2005. A pretty good day.November, 2008. 4 weeks after Emmett was born. I promised myself I would never again pose in my newborn's photo shoot or dye my hair dark. May 2010. 8 months pregnant with Miles. August 2010. Family of 4!And, growing up! ...
Emmett is 2 3/4 and he is a talking machine. I love that I get to spend my days listening to his clever and hilarious dialogue. He often tells me that I'm beautiful, he's cool and Daddy's awesome. Emmett reminds me so much of myself and tends to go from one extreme emotion to the next. But I will put up with the...
