Brady's Birthday

Six years old! Brady finally got his Nintendo DS that he wanted so bad! Dad bought it 3 months before his birthday and it was killing him not to give it to Brady before his birthday just as much as it was killing Brady not to have it. All that Brady wanted to do for his birthday was to stay home and play outside with the neighborhood kids and eat his favorite meal canned chicken noodle soup for dinner. What a high matenance kid, I know. Both sets of grandparents came over for dinner, presents, cake and bingo. Happy Birthday Brady!

St George

We had an awesome time with the Critchfields in St. George this fall. Mitch and Troy took the boys to Lake Powell for a quick fishing trip and then met up with us in St. George for the rest of the weekend. We ate and swam and ate and shopped and ate and did pedicures and ate and watched the St. George marathon and then ate a little more. We have made it kind of a tradition to attend the St. George marathon, not really as runners so much as just spectators. It totally inspires us every year! This year we watched from our lawn chairs in the rain! The kids loved to hop out in the road to cheer and give high fives to the runners.

What? A new post?

I realize that I am the worst blogger ever! This blog was my effort to keep the events of our life recorded and well, I am not doing very good at that. So here is my effort to "catch-up".

Halloween. Brady was the Jedi Anakin Skywalker, Easton was a dragon and Kenzie was a 50's girl waitress complete with the serving tray and shake and note pad to take orders. They were so cute. I don't think we saw Brady much on Halloween. We were eating dinner in an effort to fill tummies with something a little healthier than candy and he got two bites down before a group of friends came to the door and he was gone. No good-bye, just out the door. He came back once to dump his full bag of candy and then out the door to reload. He is still munching on the last pieces he collected. Kenzie was the classic cute big sister, taking Easton around up to each door. And he loved it. Saying in his 2 year old voice "Trick-o-tweet" and wishing everyone a "Happy Hawoweeeen". The weather was amazing this year, just a few sprinkles but so warm you didn't even need a coat! We love fall and any holiday that allows us the opportunity to eat candy until we are sick!
