For the first time since I quit nursing 10 months ago, Isaac has willingly snuggled and fallen asleep in our bed with us.  Sure beats pacing the house with a sick baby in the middle of the night.  It's so peaceful watching him sleep but I want my side of the bed back. :)

I put blogger app on my phone hoping that it would encourage me to at least journal a little more...not so much.  Yesterday evening started off Fall Break.  We picked up a pizza, watched a movie, and made brownies.  I have the best recipe that I go to every time.  It's quick and easy.  Dallin picked the movie on Netflix: Spy Kids 2, a real winner.  ;) He's getting too old and starting to ask questions like, "What does sexy mean?"  Oh, boy!  Paul!!!  He's your child, answer his question please!!!!  He actually asked Paul in the first place.  Phew!  He's a good kid and has been loving second grade. 

Today we've been hanging out at home.  Super exciting!  Paul wants to go on a hike when he gets home from work so we might go to the Grotto in Payson canyon.  Ellie will be mad that we're not hiking to the Y.  She's a fun, fiery lass!  She loves getting out and going anywhere. 

Tomorrow we are going up to the cabin in Wallsburg to hang out with my family.  Isaac will love all the dirt!  He's such an awesome kid.  In the last couple weeks he's been saying and repeating a ton of words.  I was worried for a bit that he could have speech problems like Dallin did.  But if he keeps progressing at this rate he should be just fine.

Here's to FALL, my favorite season!

Isaac's a good kid.  Not a lot bothers him.  I really like to startle the kids and Paul quite a bit.  Every one hates it except Isaac.  He laughs and laughs when I jump around a corner yelling BOO!  What he hates, though, is my angry chicken noises.  He loves our neighbors chickens and loves it cluck with them.  When I pull out a ba-COCK!!!! he buries his head in my chest and whimpers.  It's so cute and I can't help but repeat myself.  He now cries when I do it and Paul has forbidden me from ever making that noise again.  I still do on occasion.  I was born a pest and will always be a pest.

Tuesdays

I really like Tuesdays.  Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays are days when the whole family has to get up and get ready (read:  Mom has to get everyone ready, including herself. :).  But Tuesdays, I love you.  Only one kid to get up and get off to school.  Then we sit in our jammies and eat cinnamon sugar toast on the couch in front of the TV.  I really like Tuesdays.

Another fun, free adventure.  We went up to the Gateway Mall and checked out all the exhibits at the Clark Planitarium and also took advantage of the splash pad.

Spanish Fork Fiesta Days!!
We love our annual festival and filled it full of the western parade, the carnival, snocones, carni food and the car show.

There is a house that Paul is in love with a couple miles west of us.  He took the kids down there one night to get some pictures of it and almost ran over a farmer on his horse.  

We went up Provo Canyon one night with Paul's family.  The kids were very vocal about requesting pictures.  All taken (except for Isaac) were posed.

We hit up Trafalga a few time this summer.  We love the Pass of All Passes.  Isaac is mostly a good sport to sit in his stroller the whole time.  If he gets out, he runs all over the place like a crazy man.  The kids love the rock climbing wall.  I have tried it once, but never seem to be wearing the right shoes (or pants) to do it.  Last time we went I had on those blingy jeans and when I went to take the harness off it got caught on my pants pockets and I mooned everyone.  I am totally awesome like that.  ;)
