I need some go juice

I was poking through a couple blogs today for the first time in a while and started to feel so guilty! I am too lazy and tired to take pictures these days let alone blog about it. What can I say I'm 30 weeks pregnant and feeling it. Now that it is almost Thanksgiving, I hate that I didn't get any good pictures of the boys in their Halloween costumes! I met to dress them up again and then Brody got a nasty black eye that is just now looking better. Is it too late?

We had a great ward truck or treat party and the boys were adorable. Must say especially Brody, who we actually did get a picture of thanks to Joe's phone. David was a knight this year with a sword and everything. He really liked his costume and wore it on a couple of occasions and around the house. What he really loved was the Superman costume I got for halloween next year! To be honest I am just getting everything put away.

David was a very cute, timmid and shy this year. He would walk up there and just stand waiting for the candy to be put in his bucket. Okay I realized a few stops into it that he had a bucket in one hand and his sword in the other... poor guy couldnt take candy if he wanted to!Brody our duck, was given a sucker and allowed to wander. That's mostly because I like walking a ways behind him and watch him waddle around. So instead of taking pictures of my cute boys I was chasing one or holding the others hand. Not to mention the extra one I carry around all the time, I'm I excused for my blogging neglect yet? I'd say so!Here we are a month behind... Happy Halloweeen!

Maybe I'm a little slow, but I just found that I can post to my blog just by texting from my phone!

"Mom, why's the sausage crying?"

We were making sausage and eggs this morning for breakfast (don't be impressed, it's only because we were out of milk), when David asked me why the sausage was crying! So funny, that boy cracks me up. Such a big helper in the kitchen, which makes Bordy want the help too... not so helpful. All Brody can do is make me hold him while he says "haaa haa haaa" for hot.

For those of you who haven't heard because I never blog anymore, we are having a girl! We are so excited and I have already had too much fun getting crib bedding and pink clothes! Sorry Joe, I can't help myself.

Brody is trying a lot more to say words now, he's better at following the infection in my voice then the letter sounds. Some of his words are:
Mama
Dada
Dada (david, not to be confused with Daddy)
baabee (passy)
aaaa (bye)
ooo ooo (woof woof, he loves animal noises)
cackur (cracker)
mmmmmmm (more)
uh oh (...uh oh, meaning oh no i dropped something)

He recognizes so many things and tries to talk, but everything sounds the same right now. He loves airplanes and whenever he hears one he'll point to the sky/ceiling and make a noise. also loves turning on and off the light, playing "peek a boo barn" on my phone, cars, Baby Einstein movies, playing chase, the slide, riding bikes, animals, and his blanket!
David is a little three year old and all that comes with it. Sometimes he's as good and sweet as can be, "Please mom may I..." to get what he wants and hugs and kisses all over. Other times he's a grumpy guy and has very violent talk, "I shoot the gym with my fire gun!" He's not physically violet, all talk. Not too sure what to do about that one.

He's is very independent I'll give him that, sometimes to a fault. Like today we were at Sam's club and he decided he needed a big box of freshly made buz lightyear cupcakes... well he tipped the box over getting it off the table and I am pretty sure he ruined every one!

"come on Brode!"

I feel a little guilty for complaining on my last post. I really have great kids. They are getting so big too. We went to the park today and David wanted to take Brody down the slide. At first he tried to pick him up,but I convinced him to take his hand instead. Cutest thing ever. Just so you know we are not perfect... right after I snapped this shot Brody fell down and David ran off without him. Maybe by next summer they can play a little together.

Chomp chomp!

It's official, Brody has a tooth! I felt it in there a couple of days ago. Now we just need a few more so he doesn't have to swallow things whole. It's his front bottom tooth if you wanna know.
He also discovered that shaking his head side to side means no. He is trying to say no too, all he really gets out is the "nu nu". He loves being able to communicate.
David is getting into some terrible threes stuff. The timing was bad too with Joe just having surgery (torn ACL). If it wasn't for all the help from family... well uncle Adam really, I probably would gave gone crazy. Luckily we are all on the mend and getting back to normal.

Happy Birthday

July is our birthday month around here, and seeing how it is August now I thought it a good time to share some birthday pictures. On July 13th Brody James turned one! What a big boy. He currently has no teeth and is almost ready to be walking. His favorite foods include but are not limited to Popsicles, grapes, and soda.This is after his funfetti cupcake on his birthday. He is a funny little eater and likes to tear off bits of whatever he's eating. He even tries this with ice cream cones a very messy business. This Cupcake eating was at David's Birthday party. We had it down at the Saumweber's pool and it was really fun! A little crazy so I only took a couple pictures, I should have got one with all the kids but oh well. David made this funny face when I told him to smile for the camera... at least he didn't look away.David is getting to be such a "big guy". His favorites right now include jumping on the bed, guns and space ships, treaties, staying up late watching movies and jumping in the pool. This little boy never stops. He is three years old now but is still wearing size 24months!This past week was a little crazy for us. We found out Saturday morning that my grandmother, Mary Bankhead, past away and the funeral was going to be on Wednesday. We scrabbled ourselves together and Brody and I left Tuesday for Utah, David was shipped off to the Boyles for the week and Joe headed to Dallas Wednesday and Thursday for work. I was a wreak aside from the cold that hit me like a ton of bricks Tuesday I felt terrible about leaving David. Fortunately Crystal took great care of him and I think he had a really fun week playing with Tanner. This little picture of Brody was when we were at the airport wasting time. He loves the slide!We love our boys!
