TWILIGHT

SO, I know this is a huge deal but last night I went to the opening of the movie Twilight. Cari got me hooked on the books and she and a bunch of friends were going to the movie so I tagged along. It was a lot of fun!! I love hanging out with the girls and just being silly. We laughed and even giggled at those awkward moments and the crowd cheered when each new character was introduced. I must say I think I liked it more having read the books because you know what they are thinking better. We had fun and I was extremely tired at work today but so worth it. Next time there's a fun movie premier sign me up. By the way, thanks Lynds for the pictures that I stole from your blog. Love ya!!

It's finally gone

After months of saying we need to get rid of Cael's binky it's finally gone. We cut two of them and were on to the last binky. It was being used for nap and bed time and anytime that Caellum just needed a little extra comfort. through no magic of our own the last one is gone. Cael lost it and Ryan and I have searched this house like crazy. He went to bed last night without it and i have been searching on and off today and can't find it anywhere. Caellum is now down for his nap without it and now I think if we do find it we will have to throw it away and never let him know about it. We wanted it gone before we come to Utah so I guess fate has stepped in and made the decision for us. I have to say I will probably never let a kid get this hooked again. Javin never used one but Caellum kind of needed it. Anyway, it's gone
On a fun note Cael and I went to Javin's school to eat lunch with him today. He was so excited to see us and couldn't stop jumping up and down and giving me hugs. I love how excited he gets about things. and I probably should cherish the fact that he's so excited to see me and doesn't care who sees him giving his mommy a hug and kiss. It was fun and Caellum loved being at school.

School's out

I'm so retarded I just created this post and published it and then realized I'd put it on the wrong blog. So, it will be posted both places. Javin's out of shool today and it's been so nice to have him home to play with Caellum and help with the chores. We're washing every single blanket and all of our bedding today and trying to sterilize the house so that we don't all get daddy's sickness. We may bathe the animals today too but that's only if I get really ambitious. I like having the kids home with me during the day especially when I have to work at night. This way I'll get to see Javin so much more today. We're also working on his piano skills. He's been wanting to do more every day. I realized that other day that it's been forever since I've played the piano so I got out some of my music the other night and I stink!! I have lost so much of what I used to have. I guess I'm going to need to start practicing more. I also think it's interesting that in almost every place we've lived I've had a piano calling in the ward and that has helped me keep up with the skill but now that I'm leading music and not playing I haven't really been playing at home either. I love to play so I need to start again!!

Mini Ryan

I bought Javin some new Sunday clothes a little while ago because he has gone though a growth spurt and I didn't have anything that fit him. Caellum on the other hand now has an array of clothes to wear since he can wear shirts from a 2T to a 4T and he gets all of Javin's hand me downs. So, I got out Javin's new clothes this Sunday and realized that I had unknowingly purchased the same thing that Ryan wears to church (when he is able to come) and thought how much more Javin looks like his dad when he's wearing the same clothes. Of course Cael can't be left out of anything so I took his picture too.

New Monster Tooth

Javin came home from school the other day to inform me that his tooth was hurting at school so I took a look and sure enough he has another loose one and right behind the loose tooth is another monster tooth. I think there is a reason kids are supposed to loose the teeth before the new ones come in and for some reason Javin has not gotten this memo. His new teeth come in and then knock the other ones loose. I don't know how those ginormous teeth are ever going to fit correctly into his mouth. The dude is going to need some major orthodontic work when he gets older. oh well such is life.

Also, Yesterday Javin came home and told me that one of the kids in his class was throwing up and then he was up throwing up last night. Poor kid slept in the bathroom and everything. He stopped throwing up about 1:00 this morning and went back to his bedroom and then he said he felt fine this morning and ate breakfast and wanted to go to school. Everyone cross your fingers that he doesn't throw up there. Anyway, It's hard to know what to do when it comes to sending kids to school but if he's feeling better I don't see why he shouldn't go but at the same time I would hate to have him sick there. Luckily Caellum slept through all of the madness of last night.

Halloween and Trophy

It was a fun Halloween. We made pizza's and let the kids pick their favorite toppings and after dinner we went around our apt complex. There weren't very many kids or lights on but because of that everyone was giving out handfulls of candy. The kids made a killing all of which will probably be shortly thrown away. SAD!!



Javin was Jango Fett from Star Wars this year. He's a little obsessed just like his dad. Caellum was Batman and couldn't quite figure out the mask



For some reason he wanted it to cover his entire face!

Javin's baseball season is officially over and to celebrate the kids went to Adventure Crossing. It's kind of like a small amusement place, arcade games, roller coaster, go carts etc.. Anyway he had tons of fun with his teammates. I love the trophies and the cake.


Javin's team, including the coaches. They loved their trophies!!


So cute


This cake has the team picture on it and the baseballs are rings so each kid got a ring with their piece of cake.



He won this game and was super excited. Thanks for playing Wesley.


Javin and Conner

It was a fun season but I'm kind of glad it's over. Two games every week so far away is kind of a lot for a little kid and the mom whose taking him. They do baseball again in the spring and apparently it's a little more competitive. I'm glad we introduced it to Javin early and we'll see when the spring rolls around if he likes baseball enough to play again.

Also, Ryan cut Caellum's binky last night because I'd heard it was a good way to make them not want them, however he didn't go far enough away and Caellum caught him in the act of cutting. I guess he was really upset and all morning he's been telling me "Binky, daddy cut cut." Oh well, live and learn. We'll be cutting one every other day or so until they are officially all gone. Sorry Cael.
