"Mommy make a MESS!"

This is a phrase I have learned to fear! Charlie is getting into all kinds of things lately and he is very honest when he makes a "mess". I will leave him watching a movie or playing with toys to go get something done and a few min. later he is coming to me, "Mommy make a mess!" I tell him to show me and he guides me to his latest disaster. I will share a few examples....about a month ago he came to me covered in silver marker. He had found a silver sharpie and colored his entire body, the couch, the wall in the basement, and his toy box. Luckily it all came out and the marker went in the garbage. A few weeks ago...and this was totally my fault...he took a small cup of nutella chocolate and covered himself in it including the bottoms of his feet and walked all over the couch, covering it with tiny brown footprints.

A couple days ago he found a brand new bag of fish crackers and dumped the entire thing all over the kitchen table and floor then proceeded to stomp on all of them. Here he is in time out for that one.



Then the cherry on top was Grandma Lucy's house on Saturday. We went down for family pictures and an early Thanksgiving dinner with Uncle Craig and he locked himself in her bathroom, shoved two towels in the toilet, and tried to flush them. The whole bathroom flooded so bad the water was GUSHING through the floor into the basement! What am I going to do with this child?!!! It's a good thing he is so cute! Pray that I can go at least a week without hearing the phrase "Mommy make a mess!"

Happy Halloween

This year Charlie was Nacho Libre because it is sadly his favorite movie right now. It is really funny to hear him ask for Nachooooo! Little Nick was in his little Halloween outfit and we went to the ward Trunk-or-Treat. Sadly to say it was a little disappointing...we went through $18.00 worth of candy in half an hour and that was it...LAME. Oh well, Charlie thought it was cool to go with his friends and get candy from people and that's all that matters:)





Charlie's friends, Big Isaac, Dallon, Little Isaac, Alyssa, and Sadie.

4 Months

This adorable little guy is 4 months already! I have not taken him to the doctor yet so I don't know the stats but he is scooting backwards, eating rice cerial, rolling over, laughing, has been sleeping through the night for 2 months, and has the sweetest smile in the world! He is such a joy in our lives we love ya little man!

Our garden

I thought I would do a post about our garden we had this year. It did so well and we made lots of yummy food with all our veggies. Our favorite though was the salsa...we grew everything you would need it was perfect. Enjoy the pics.

New Hair Cut!

Well when Nicks hair was falling into his eyes we decided it was time for another hair cut...yes only three months old and ready for hair cut number two. My Mom did a great job with him and I just have to show off my little man. We cut over two inches off...I was kinda sad to cut off all the sweet hair but he does look better:) here are the before and after.

New Family Pictures!

My friend Mollie who is an AMAZING photographer came into town a couple months ago and did these photos for us...I think Nick was two or three weeks old. They turned out so good thanks Molls! Enjoy:)

2 Years and 2 Months

Charlie turned 2 years old on the second and little Nick will 2 months on the tenth. We had Nicks blessing on the first so we celebrated Charlies birthday the same day since family was all here for the blessing. My whole family got to be here and some very good family friends and I want to thank them all for their love and support. Here are some pictures of that fun day and the cute boys. I think Charlie had more fun with the tissue paper than any of the presents....as you can see in the one picture:)
