Spooky spooks

Well it is that time of year when the spooks come out and the kids dress up. Last weekend the boys helped me decorate our house for Halloween, we had lots of fun. The boys especially loved decorating and hanging bats from light fixtures and fans. I love Halloween , it is one of my favorite holidays. It almost feels like fall with all the decor out, it would be perfect if the it would just cool off outside. I'm so tired of this heat!

wall climbers and web shooters.

I purchased a couple of costumes from Savers, out of all of them my boys prefer to wear Spider man, they would wear the costume everyday if I would let them.

The last 2 weeks

For the last 2 weeks the boys and I have been down at the stake center painting sets for The Savior of the World production (you can purchase tickets at http://www.savioroftheworldaz.com/Home.aspx) . Thursdays I have been lucky enough to have my great art students helping me. I also have my talented friend Melinda helping as well which has been nice.

These are the steps to the temple in Jerusalem (not yet finished). There will be 5 marbled pillars on the upper level, I hope to finish marbling those tomorrow.

These are my great art students, (the kids over age of 11) they have been such a great help, hope they have learned something in the process.

Mike purchased a Harley! Still waiting for my ride, Mike said he wants to practice riding before he gives rides, probably not a bad idea. To ease my mind Mike promises to always wear a helmet ( we will see how long that lasts).

Baby 3's Sex

My cute friend Kayla is studying to be an ultrasound tech. so I volunteered to let them practice on me. I had a lot of fun and it was a nice and long ultrasound, which I loved because it never gets old looking at the cute little baby growing inside of you (it makes all the crap that goes with pregnancy worth it). I guess I won't get to decorate the guest room in purple pink orange , and giraffe print, I will have to settle for super heroes and sports again. All I can say is I am going to be the best mother in law in the whole world, cause that is the only way I will ever get a daughter. Mike really does have all boys in him. :) ha ha. Baby boy three is healthy, and a little wiggle worm, I can't wait to meet him.

Tyler was very quiet, which usually means trouble, so I went to look for him, and found him tucked into his bed sound asleep. He climbed up to the top bunk and made himself comfortable for a nap (so sweet).

Sticky Sand

Saturday was gorgeous, overcast, rainy and cool temperatures. I was in heaven, this has been the longest summer of my life. We have not left this hot dust bowl all summer long, so Saturday was heaven sent. I took the boys to the park in the rain, they loved playing outside without their swimming suites. My car and floor are still covered in sand, but who cares we spent the day outside and I didn't break a sweat.

Phoenix Children's Museum

Last week we went to the Phoenix Children's Museum with the Ryans, the day was full of fun and adventure. Tyler, Jack R. and Jack M. played so hard and had so much fun together. The museum was a so fun, three levels of non stop things for little tykes to touch and explore. I'm sure we will be back in the future.

Sons of Anarchy look out its Tyler, Jack and Jack.

Jack loved digging in these seeds, he played here for at least 10 minutes, until moving onto the next station.The museum has a room full of swimming noodles hanging from the ceiling, you can run, swim through them, it is so cool. Jack loved the noodles, the above picture was taken as he was running out of all the noodles.

A day well spent for sure. Both boys were tired and took afternoon naps :).

Needed a Change

Sometimes in life there are times when every woman feels like a fat cow who is obsessed with food. Well my time is now. I am only about 11-12 weeks prego, and I am already feeling fat, I guess my body knows what to do and is doing it. Last week I just needed a change so I decided to color my hair. I was tired of being a blond, and wanted to go back, or go closer to my natural color ( blond is too much maintenance). Here is the outcome, I'm happy and feel pretty.

I had a trip to the Dr's office a few weeks ago, all is well. Only one baby with a strong heart beat and a wiggly little body. Ultrasounds are the best. The due date is Feb. 28th 2010
