Cohen's 4th Birthday

We started the day off with every one having strep....yep that's my life! Thankfully my kids are so resilient and didn't act too sick but it was a bummer because we pretty much had to cancel his party. Thankfully we talked Grandma and Grandpa to still come and he had a really great party none the less.

It was a Scooby Doo party and once again my mom made an amazing cake.... a Scooby Doo graveyard!

We got him a blue guitar- such a cool dude!

He lost his breath when he got this fire truck from Grandma and Grandpa Brough

Uncle Rob did stop by real quick to give Cohen a Cosmo pillow pet. He loved it!

I really can't believe he is four. He is loving preschool and is such a smart boy. We are working on learning his letters. He has such a huge imagination and is always role playing. Lately it is lions.... we are all lions or some kind of big cat... too funny! He also now says prayers all by himself and says we aren't allowed to pray with him- cute. He loves the tv station sprout and loves to study books! He is such a joy to our family!

Best Buddies

One morning these two were so cute playing with each other that I couldn't stop taking pictures. I love every picture! They really do love each other (although they have their days)! Carson now is starting to talk to Cohen and they are playing even more together- so cute!

More Halloween

I keep finding more pictures of Halloween. And they are too cute not to post. So here is Cohen's Class party

And parade

Cutest skeleton ever

What My Helpers Are Doing Right Now

I thought I would post about an everyday thing. Steve is so sweet and our boys really love to help (for now at least). Steve went out to shovel our driveway and both boys wanted to help!

Steve had bought them their own snow shovels-what great little helpers!

It ended in sippy cups full of hot chocolate and new outfits (and freezing little hands of course). But I love little everyday moments like this one!

Halloween 2011

Halloween is so much fun- our boys really enjoy this holiday and we really try to make it fun! This year both boys were matching t-rex dinosaurs- so cute! I had them wear the same costume because they both love dinosaurs so much I couldn't let one be a t-rex and not the other!

We did our 2nd annual Halloween party with the boys friends and it was too much fun. As with last year Cohen requested mummy pizzas and pumpkin donuts. We played games and broke a pinata! I think all of their little friends are just too cute! We also enjoyed the ward trunk or treat, Carson's kindermusik Halloween party, and Cohen's costume parade and Halloween party at preschool!

Yummy food

Carson's kindermusik class- this sweet girl won Carson's heart! He kept going over to her and hugging her and wanting to hold her hand (should I be worried?) Anyway she was so sweet to let him hang out with her!

T-REX #1

T-REX #2

We had a wonderful holiday! The highlight was my 2 little t-rex's roaring around my house- too cute!

Steve's Birthday

Steve's birthday is of course October 25th.... that's right.... I am so on top of blogging lately! Anyway- I had to blog about this because he is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. Seriously the best husband and greatest dad! I love you Steve!

He had to work on his birthday this year so the boys and I stole him for lunch and took him to CPK! It was lots of fun!

I also made his favorite breakfast that morning- homemade poptarts!

We celebrated his birthday as a family the Sunday before his birthday! We had a french toast bar which doesn't sound amazing but it WAS! Seriously I made the Our Best Bites puffed french toast (which is deep fried and covered in cinnamon sugar)- YUM! Then we topped off the sugar overload with more sugar- cake and ice cream. I was waiting for someone to kill over dead from a heart attack.... but we all survived!

Yep that's my man! Such a goof ball!
