Yay For Vegetables!!

Just a quick snippet to say how much I enjoy that Myles LOVES his vegetables! He will often request broccoli and tonight at dinner ate at least half a cucumber. I'm so lucky that I don't have a picky eater!! Thanks for making dinner time life so easy Goober! Love You!!

My favorite Words

I got an idea from one of my bloggy friends who posted some of here favorite "words" that her daughter says. It was so cute that I decided to do the same with my favorite "words that Myles has started saying recently.

Suser - Sucker

Beemboo - Bumblebee

Cuck - Stuck

Oscer - Monster and Oscar (the grouch)

Bi Sruck - Big Truck

Gover - Grover

Pikpi - Spikey

Mo Mo - Otis (we actually all call him Mo) We're a nickname family

These are just a few of my favorite "Myles Words" I've got to keep track of all the cute things he says and does before they change before my eyes.

Halloween Fun

We've been keeping busy so far this month. Trying to squeeze as much Halloween fun in as we can. So far we made it to Farnsworth Pumpkin Patch, painted pumpkins, and carved some pumpkins at Grammie and Grammpie's.

The pumpkin patch was a good time. The four of us went with Chris' mom and cousin Chase. The had such a good time in the bounce house, on the hay ride, actually we were informed that it was straw" and running through the pumpkins finding just the right one! After we got the pumpkins home we decided to paint them. It was the only weekend before Halloween that we had Logan and we didn't want them to go rotten to quickly. Logan's turned out great! He did two pictures, a spider and a bat. Myles did a face with a bunch of hair! lol

Then yesterday we headed over to Grammie and Grammpie's for our traditional pumpkin carving. We always have such a great time doing this. 4 out of the 6 of us kids were there, all with our kids. It ends up being a lot of people and a lot of kids but it's always a great time. Grammie made 3 different soups and we took over their basement for the day. So far it's been a great month! Thanks Mom and Dad for letting us take over and make such a mess. Love you both!!

Slow Work Days

I love Fridays here at work...well I love that they are slow anyway. Today I've had the luxury of working on my iPod and now, since I have the hard drive here with me I can catch up on a little blogging. The last post was all about Myles turning 2. But there is more. His Birthday party was a blast. School Bus themed of course. We had it at a park by our house. It was a beautiful day. Chris and I made a pinata (never again). My grandma painted it and it turned out FABULOUS!! Chris' mom made a school bus cake which was also GREAT!! The kids were able to play on the playground which was right by the pavilion and of course Myles got a ton of stuff. Most of which he still plays with. I'd like to thank everyone who came and helped out. You all made it a great day for Chris and I and especially for Myles.


He had fallen a few days before and had a bit
of road rash


The cake


A bit fuzzy, but this is the pinata

My baby is 2!!

Wow this is so late...Back on the 10th of Sept. Myles turned 2!! I can't believe how fast the time has gone by. So in honor of my beautiful boy here are just a few things about him that I love.

He has the happiest personality of any kid I've ever known. Always smiling and bringing smiles to everyone around him. He's so smart. I know I'm a little biased and every mom thinks their kid is a genius but Myles has a way of remembering things and learning everything so quickly. The things he can already do and the way he knows to do just what he's asked is amazing to me. I can talk to him like a "big" kid and he knows just what I'm saying and what to do. And oh boy can this kid hop and jump. Hop Hop Hop all over the place, down the hall, on the bed, even off the stairs! His love of school buses cracks me up and he gets so excited every time he sees one. He is so loving and cuddly and just loves to play all the time. Myles Conner I love you so much and can't wait to see what you'll grow up to be. You are amazing my little Goober!!!

Climbing trees and eating marshmallows at the camp site.



Asleep before we got out of the canyon.


What a great trip that was. I'm so glad to live in a place that has so much to offer and so many things to do.

More Than I Can Chew?!?!

Myles is turning 2 this week! I can't believe how fast the time has gone...more on that in later posts however. His party is on Saturday and I've decided to take it upon myself to make all of the ice cream for it. Why you ask??? I have no idea...I must be a fan of stress and torture.

The plan right now is to make 3 different kinds of ice cream, that will then be turned into ice cream sandwiches. For which I am also making the cookies. Pumpkin, Mint Chocolate Chip, and Vanilla are on the menu. Plus the 3D School Bus cake that my mother-in-law is making. (she's much better at cake baking than me). Oh and lets not forget the school bus pinata that Chris and I started yesterday. And yes it all gets to be done by 3:30 Saturday afternoon. We'll see how it goes and I'll be sure to let you know. I might end up at the store for all but the pumpkin ice cream and cookies. I tend to bite off a bit more than I can chew sometimes, and with my procrastinator personality I'm not sure how all of this is going to go.
