Elliots Birtday Party

Our Growing Family

We had so much fun when Dad and Dawn and all the kids came up! It was a blast playing in the snow, playing Rock Band, talking, and just having fun when they came over for those couple day's, and thank you again for the food storage $$$ we are now growing our food storage every time I go grocery shopping.

I can not believe how much are family is growing....I'm starting to think we should go on a vacation just our little family, so my goal this summer is to save up enough money for a little trip, maybe California somewhere not too far away. My other goal is to save up for couches for our Front room, right now we have two candle holders, and two dining room chairs from the new dining room table that we just bought. Brad wanted six chairs its actually a really nice table, what we did was we picked out a table online a good and sturdy one something that will last a long long time for our family especially if I have boy's :)

Brad is doing good, right now he is car pooling to work with one of his buddies. He likes his coworkers and his job.....and when they get bored at work they just go out to eat and go bowling lol. He is still trying to get his Masters degree and will be getting it in a couple more semesters (YA!!)

Elliot....oh boy oh boy.....that kid is wild but he is sooo stinkin smart He can now count to 20 all by himself and loves to sing the abc's, he likes dancing, playing with aiden (throwing toys at his head considers playing with aiden) he also knows how to read a couple words. Did I mention he is potty trained?? I LOVE IT!!

Aiden is getting so big....today I actually told Brad "maybe we should start buying him #4 diapers!!" cause #3's are a little small :( he is also crawling EVERWHERE, and he LOVES LOVES to be cuddled with, he's my little cuddler, his favorite thing to eat right now are ghram crackers :)

I am doing great, my Mary Kay business is growing really fast I was able to buy our Fridge and our new Table with my Mary Kay Money is what I like to call it :) I love getting know people and it gives me an opportunity to meet new people. I'm still working at Golds Gym cause I just love not having to pay $$$ for a gym membership :) also I am now down 10 lbs since I've used the bodybugg I bought in January, for those who don't know what the bodybugg.....its an arm band I wear all day everyday that counts all my calories threw out the day and I have a little watch that tells me how much I've burned. It tells me what I should burn and how much I should consume in order to hit my goal, so I have to burn 2500 callories and only consume 1500 per day....so far so good :)

We are also excited for mom moving in with us this month, its going to be so nice having Aiden and Elliot knowing there Grandma Sellers.

Our New Home

Busy, busy, and more busy

This month so far has been so busy.....and it's still not over!! We have been packing up like mad and doing everything we need to do before we move into the house we are buying, not to mention going to Vegas for Tracey's wedding and my Mary Kay business. But first lets talk about the HOUSE!

It is awesome, and a lot bigger then the one we were going to buy in Riverdale when you first walk in there is a formal living room to the right, the kitchen and dinning room is straight ahead once you walk inside, and is a pretty nice size too, you walk down like three steps and your in the family room. The back yard is nice and big (we need it for the boys, all three of them) the basement has an awesome play room that they decorated all cute and stuff, its actually pretty big too like they converted two bedrooms into one big one we can even put both computers in and still have plenty of space. There is also a half bath down stairs to use. Upstairs are the 3 bedrooms, and two baths....we will tak pix of it after we finish painting and moving in! We are soo excited.

Ok Now onto Mary Kay...I know what you are all thinking....not really...but I do know this that I really enjoy it and am planning on being in the "Mary Kay" business for a long...long...long time :P

We are very excited to see Tracey getting married in vegas and with us being so busy with packing and having to move out before we leave to Vegas, it has just been a busy month. OH! And we will be homeless for that week when we are in Vegas so it works out PERFECT! When we drive back home we'll be in our new house! YA!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

Yes, we all know what month it is.....and its mine and Rachael's birthday!! Don't forget to get us something nice on the 18th of this month :)

Halloween

OK, so Thursday the day before Halloween, both Aiden and Elliot got sick Brad and I were so sad because we had planned about 3 weeks ago what we wanted to do for Halloween with the kids. We were going to the do corn maze, decorate a pumpkin, go trick or treating, then go to the halloween party for the ward. A full fun day for the whole family, Luckily their fevers broke during the night and both were feeling better by the next morning. We did pretty much everything on the list except the corn maze.

I bought the pumpkins Friday afternoon and pretty much started carving as soon as I got home, Elliot was soo excited because the week before all he kept saying was "Halloween pumpkin, Halloween pumpkin" it was so cute. When brad carved the top to clean out all the seeds Elliot had one grab of it and said "Ewwwwee.....Yuuukkke" and that was pretty much it, he didn't touch it again. Brad had to finish cleaning it out. While Brad was carving it Elliot played with the top of the pumpkin until Brad was done.

After we finished the pumpkin we got us and the kids ready for trick or treating, Brad and I just bought some wigs at target, we bought Elliot an "incredibles" costume and Aiden a "puppy" outfit, they both just looked so darn cute!

We wen't trick or treating in the area we want to buy in and only wen't for like an hour (normal with a two year old)

After trick or treating we went to our wards Halloween party and the "Reeses" house and Elliot got more candy!! YA!! Here are some pix
