Halloween

So I have finally posted pictures up from September to October. I have been busy and lazy. It's a pain to put pictures on blogger I think that is.
For Halloween this year Brandon wanted to go up North so that grandma and grandpa could see the kids since Halloween landed on a Saturday. I really didn't want to go because I had bought all of the candy and didn't know what to do with it. I asked the girls what they wanted to do and they wanted to stay home and go trick or treating in our neighborhood. I told them that we were going up to see grandma and grandpa and staying out my mom's house. They were fine with it. Brock did an awesome job trick or treating. That little boy is a trooper I tell you. He wanted to be out in the cold and walk and hold his little bucket. He loved every minute of trick or treating. He loved the pumpkins and of course the candy. Brandon and I took the kids trunk or treating by my mom's house and some houses by her and went back to her house to get some jackets. I thought that I would leave Brock home with dad and grandpa and my mom and I took the girls out. We finished this cul da sac and low and behold here comes Brandon with my little fisherman. I was crying and pointing to the door after we left so Brandon took him. He did good. I'm proud of him. Here are some pictures.

I'm In!!!

So it's been a whole year since I've seen this great country musician and it's time to see him again. He will be coming to Utah and I am so planning on going! I've had really crappy seats and really good seats and been backstage 2! For this concert next summer I am paying money for good seats instead of the lawn, since it will be at the USANA. Oh this will be sooo fun I can't wait! I love going to a Tim concert. He puts on a good show and it's also a good girls night out. Oh I can't wait!

Yucky Blues

It's been awhile since I've last posted anything and that's my fault. I've been so busy and fighting with getting over the sickies at our house. So much has happened the past couple of weeks I don't know where to begin. I will first start off with Brandon's birthday Oct 9th. My cute hubby turned 29! I know he's getting old and he's got the grays to prove it. We got a babysitter and went out for his birthday. The original plan was that we were going to go to a haunted house but we have a few chickens in our group so we didn't go. We ended up going to Joe's Crab Shack for dinner and got to watch Brandon put on a sombrero ride a stick pony and gallop around the table. It was funny. I left my camera in the truck so no picture to show. Trust me it was funny. After dinner we ended up heading over to Fat Cats to go bowling. That's right no haunted house. It was way fun though. There were two couples that didn't go bowling so it was just me and Brandon and Erik and his girlfriend Kim. It was so fun and I beat Brandon at bowling! It was such a sweet victory since I've never ever have beaten him at bowling. Brandon had a good birthday. His team at work bought him a cake and sang to him and then the compliance girls decorated his truck. It was good that he had a good day since that week started off bad with a couple of his friends quitting. Next year for his 30th I'm planning a huge fiesta for him!

All of us have been fighting a nasty cold so that has been horrible for the past 2 weeks! It started off with Mariah and her croup. Then Jazmin got strep and the next day I took Brock into the doctor and he had a sinus infection. I had been feeling pretty crap for a week and figured I had a sinus infection also and I did. The kids seem to be getting better but me! I cannot get over this stinkin' cough. I have major headaches and it feels like someone has beaten my body with a bat. I feel pretty crappy! I'm going to head back to the doctor and get on something else cause I am done feeling like poo.

Brandon went elk and deer hunting. He didn't get his elk but he did get his deer. I must say I'm not impressed with it. I will show pictures later and you will see why. We went to Hee-Haw farms and the kids loved it, especially Brock. He had a blast throwing the hay around on the hay ride. I think he would have loved living on a farm just because he loves animals and being outside.

Well I think I have everything wrapped up all in a nutshell. I need to get some pictures up though. It's such a pain sometimes but goal this week is to post pictures up.

Family Pictures

Here are a few of our family pictures that we took. Not too much of Brock because he was being such a little stinker.

Update

So I left off last with trying to take the pacifier away and the results-Brock won. He woke up around 10'ish and was crying really hard so I gave in and gave him his pacifier. So my next step is that I am just going to cut his pacifier everyday until there is nothing left and hopefully he will be done with it. Crossing fingers.

Brock turned 18 months on Friday! I can't believe how fast a year and a half went. He is getting to be a big boy now. We love him so much. He is so funny and his little personality is so cute. He loves his sisters and wants to be in with whatever they are doing. His vocabulary is starting to grow a little more. I just have to be patient with that. He loves his dad and mom very much and whenever dad leaves for work he walks behind him say dad and goes to the door and cries. It's cute. Brock had his 18 month checkup and the kid is skinny. You would think for being Brandon's boy he would be huge, nope. He weights 24 lbs so that puts him in the 33% and his height is 35.5 inches putting him in the 99% He is going to be tall I think. My little basketball player. He is all boy! Loves to be outside, the dirt, balls, cars, trucks, animals. It's cute.

Over the weekend we went to the Living Planet Aquarium with Brandon's parents and the kids loved it! Brock was loving every minute of it. He would say fish and want to see the tank and the run to the next tank. I think he got a little overstimulated because he threw a big old fit. He wanted to be there but I think there was just so much for him to see. The kids loved every minute of it. I can't believe how much it has grown since the last time we've been there.

So that's what happened in a nut shell. We got our family pictures back and I am putting them up. It just takes awhile to post on blogger.

Pulling the plug away

So I told myself that I was going to take Brock's pacifier away when he turns 18 months. I just don't him having a pacifier when he's 2 and I don't want his teeth to get all yucky. Well that time is finally here, he turns 18 months on Friday, and I am so not ready to do it. It's just so nice to plug him up when he gets whinny or he's throwing a huge fit. The scary thing that I'm not looking forward to is nap time and bed time. He always has his pacifier right by him and his bottle or sippy in hand. It's just getting to darn annoying trying to find the stupid thing. He throws it and I have no clue where they go. I am down to 1 out of 4. I was just going to snip the top of it, but since I can't find it I will just do it cold turkey that way. I actually did find it but he was taking a nap so I figured why try to give it to him the rest of the day. I'm scared because he didn't take a second nap, which is very common for him now, and he is sooooo tired and grumpy. I'm crossing my fingers that bed time will go smoothly and he totally forgets about binkie. I guess it's a good thing he doesn't talk yet because then he would be saying binkie all the time.
