Trunk or Treats 2011

OMG I can't tell you what a crazy night it was tonight. Shelley and Ellen's ward had a Trunk or Treat tonight so we went out there around 6ish to take the boys. Now before all of that happened Ryan had a little bit of a melt down. He had asked earlier in the day if we could go to Carls Jr. on Country Club with the play place. We told him we will see. In his mind that means in a little while. Well we didn't have time to drive all the way to Country Club and then back out to the Trunk or treat on Power and McDowell so we said that we couldn't do it tonight. Well that broke his heart and he cried and cried and almost didn't go to the Trunk or Treat. We got good pizza (Barros not the cheep little ceasers) tonight and at first he didn't want that either. Eventually three pieces later he was better. Not only was he tired but also hungry. If that wasn't enough he didn't want to put on his vest for his crossing guard costume. Back story on this Ryan got a stop sign that comes off the pole for his bikes. He copies the crossing Gardie from the school ALL THE TIME. Even when he crosses the street he will hold his hand up like he has a stop sign in his hand. I figure great all he has to do is put on a vest so he doesn't even have to dress up much. Now the vest is for an adult and he didn't like the way it fit. I pinned it up a little but it was a huge fight with lots of tears eventually saying he didn't want to go. Then he ate and I told him he only had to put on the vest for a picture. He was okay with that so I got my picture.

Cameron the Pirate
Cameron has really fallen in love with the show Jake and the Neverland Pirates on Disney Jr.  He sings all the songs does all the dances and can quote most of the shows. That is what you get when you have a mom that can't do anything we watch a lot of TV and I'm okay with that for now. So a while back I asked him if he wanted to be a pirate for Halloween. he said arrgg so I figured that meant yes in Pirate. Well when it was time to get dressed he changed his mind. He kept saying owe i don't like it I can't anything he could think of to get it off of him.

How many grown men does it take to put a two year old in his costume. He is one strong little bugger.
They did eventually get it on him though.

Daddy even gave him his phone to try and make him feel better. It took a while but he did calm down and feel better. Papa got home and he ran into the kitchen and said look papa i a pirate.

It took a little convincing but I was able to get a picture of both boys before we left. Ryan said he wasn't going to bring his vest but I told him that I would take it just in case he wanted it when we got to the Trunk or Treat and he said that was okay for now.

Look who decided to put on his vest. It was funny on the way over Blaine kept talking to him about if he didn't put his vest on that cars wouldn't be able to see him. So as soon as we got to the church he asked to put it on. He would hold his stop sign whenever we walked in the road and the funny thing was some of the kids actually stopped so he thought it was great.

Cameron wasn't so sure about the Tunk or Treating thing but as long as Daddy would walk up to the cars with him he was okay. And never complained about his costume at all.

Ryan helped not only us but a few other people cross the street on our way back to our car. He also never complained about his vest anymore. When we got home tonight I showed him these pictures and he could see what he daddy meant when he said that when lights hit his vest it would glow and he thought that was awesome.

All in all once we got tot he Trunk or Treat both boys had a good time and didn't mind the costumes so we will see how it goes on Monday for our Trunk or Treat.

Dewitt Farms

So this is the 2nd time trying to do this post. I thought it had saved but I guess not. Last Friday all the kids got out of school at 1:55 cuz it was the last day of early release for parent teacher conferences. Linda had found out about the Dewitt farm just down the hill in Lehi so Linda and Shelley decided to take all the kids when the big kids got out of school. I of course couldn't go cuz I am kind of on house arrest so I was a little bummed about that especially when I saw the pictures. The paper said that they had a petting area, little maze for the kids, bounce house and horse rides. I figured Cameron would like the animals cuz he is my little animal man. Ryan can really care less about them he would rather jump or do something like that.

I was so glad that Linda got some super cute pictures of the kids. Cameron went into the petting area and just went in and picked up this chicken.

This poor chicken looks like he is trying to get away from Cameron

My boys going for a wagon ride. Ryan was even leaving his zoo hat on I was really impressed.

I saw this picture and I was super shocked. Yes that is Ryan on a horse. This is a HUGE HUGE thing. He didn't want Gmas help or anything. They had a guide for the horse but he was okay to do it with just the guide.

I am so dang proud of this kid. I guess he road three different horses and he loved it. I am so sad that I missed this but I know I was suppose to be home.

He looks so grown up. Great Job RyRy

Not to be out done by his brother Cameron loved the horse.

I am so proud of both of my little boys. Hopefully next year we will be able to do all of this fun stuff together as a family. It has been rough with Blaine being in school and working full time and me having a rough pregnancy. We just have to keep looking on the bright side of life that next year we will be in a better place and we will have another little one to take cute pictures of. My boys will be great big brothers to there little sister.

Cute Pictures

So I am still really far behind on blogging but I found some cute pictures on my phone tonight from last last month or so. I decided I better get them up before I loose track of them and have to play catch up even more.

I will start with today. Ryan has been to the nurse at school a few times in the past month. Today he fell and hurt his knee. Now one thing you have to know about Ryan is he will not put a band aid on even if he is bleeding to death. The last two visits to the nurse he has come home with band aids and she was even able to put medicine on him once. Huge deal. Today he came home with the brown band aid cuz he fell on the slide or something the story really didn't make any sense but whatever. The two camping band aid happened when he biffed it at Hollie's house. He goes there to ride on her bridge and today he was on his scooter took the corner to fast hit some little rocks and crashed hard. I was sitting on the bench out side so I didn't see it happen but I heard it. The lady from next door was out with her grandkids so she saw it and started walking him home as I was waddling down to Hollies. So we get home and of course he is going to die. We put two corn bags on his legs and he calms down and says he needs to go get some band aids. I was shocked and said fine. So he came back with his camping band aids and put them on all on his own. Now the really funny part is he said he couldn't walk. A few weeks ago I threw out my back and I couldn't stand up or really walk. It was really sad and I am very glad there are no pictures because I had to use my Gpa''s walker just to move. I spent 3 days at my gmas house so she could take care of Cameron and I. No the walker didn't come home with me because I live in a house of mostly boys and yes I said boys even though one is almost 70 and I would never hear the end of it if I had a walker around the house. So I used anything I could grab onto to walk super hunched over. So my drama we will say king of a son decided to do the same thing tonight with his skinned knee decided that he need the walls to walk it was pretty funny.

This is Cameron a few weeks ago. Gma did something with the pillows I had bought about a year ago. Cameron and Ryan got to choose what fabric they wanted and gma Matthews made a pillow case and I got enough fabric so that they had a matching blanket. Cameron picked Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is what he calls his and he loves to watch TV while on it.

This picture I wasn't so happy about. It was taken at 5:00pm. He had been fighting me taking a nap all day and I had worked really hard keeping him awake. I went to the bathroom and came out to find this. He was not very happy with me when I woke him up but I wanted to sleep that night so it was to bad for Cameron.

I love this little kid. He always has the best smile no matter how big a stinker he is.

I have a lot of pictures this time of Cameron since he and I have been spending a lot of time together. This was during nap time one day. He was really out and snoring just like his dad. I was also trying to take a nap but couldn't because of the snoring so  Cameron lost his pillow and that made it a little better but not much.

This has become our nightly routine. Cameron and I go outside and wait for daddy to get home. The nice thing is Blaine has been getting out at 8:15ish so we wait for about 45 minuets outside but it keeps him away from his brother who is trying to go to sleep. We sing songs look at airplanes and wait. Most of the time it's not that big of a deal but sometimes it gets a little old.

Now this doesn't happen very often. This was a no nap day for Cameron and this was at 8:00 and they are both passed out. Notice that they are sleeping the same way just like daddy sleeps. It's so funny Blaine was super happy when I sent him this picture.

This was last Sunday and it was so funny. This was before church Blaine was out. After the weeks that he has with work and school he is pretty tired on the weekend. Cam climbed up on the recliner and got comfortable.

Every night when Blaine gets home Cameron takes his phone. This time he wanted to sit with dad when he played his game.

You can't tell but this was right after I gave Cameron a haircut but all you can see his super cute smile.
