BYU vs. Wyoming

Last week I took Jackson to his very first BYU football game. We had a blast. He was so good! I couldn't believe it. Whenever Ty and I would go to games together we would always say, "Can you imagine if we had brought Jackson? Or Hayden? They would have been so awful." But I had so much fun with Jackson. He loved it. He he watched the game and played in his seat and entertained everyone aroud him by saying he wanted the "white" team to win, not the "blue." Then he would laugh and laugh at himself. I was even a nice mommy and bought him a hot dog, sprite (his favorite), popcorn, and ice cream. He doesn't even realize how lucky he is. When I was little (and going to USU football games almost every weekend) my parents never bought us treats at the game, and if they did, it was like 1 drink for everyone (3 or 4 kids) and one thing of popcorn to share. I felt I was being very not cheap.

Notice the sprite. In the picture above he actually sat down on the steps, all by himself, and said, "I'm ready mom. Cheese!" I guess he knows I like to take a lot of pictures. That big fleshy thing is actually my arm, not a butt crack.He got a little tired at the end, but I can't wait to take him again. Gotta start em young, ya know?

Hair

Yes, I actually spent time doing this, lots of time. I use my time so efficiently. I wonder why my dishes aren't done? Hmmm. Well at least now I have a better knowledge of photoshop. That is way more important than having clean dishes...and clean clothes....and a clean bathroom....and sleep. Anyone can have that. Only I can have these pictures. Ty with hair makes me giggle....hysterically.




Go here if you have as much time as I do.

Ok people, I shouldn't blog at 12:30 in the morning. I only used photoshop to put the pictures side by side, but it took me a while to figure out how to do it. I seriously know nothing about using photoshop. Go to yearbookyourself.com and upload pictures of yourselves and you too can have awesome hair.

Videos - part 2

So I meant to actually post videos in my last post, but for some reason I can only post one video at a time, and I also got distracted. Imagine that, but I wanted to put on one more of Jackson because it makes me laugh.

Jackson is so funny. He does the craziest things. I love how his little mind works.

And now that I write this I'm sure I'm going to ginx everything, but lately he has been the sweetest, nicest boy. He's been taking naps, and if he doesn't nap he has had quiet time in his room and he actually stays in there playing until he hears Hayden wake up, which means quiet time is over. He's been so fun and he helps me clean and he's going potty wonderfully. It's really been great lately.

And then there's Hayden who has entered the terrible terrible two and is screaming and throwing tantrums. He actually bit Jackson, on the back, of all places. I hate biting. I can handle hitting and kicking, but not biting. To me it means that the kid is evil. I don't know why. So I guess it's either one or the other. At least I don't have to deal with "Jon and Kate plus 8" type life. I only have 2. (I am addicted to that show. It helps me realize that things could be much much harder.) Check it out if you're having a stressful day. It always makes me feel better.This picture of Hayden shows our latest battle. He has rejected his high chair and refuses to use a booster seat most of the time. He wants to sit on a big chair. If I put him him in his high chair and give him food, he gets so mad that he throws it all on the floor while screaing, "Noooooo." So he sits on the big chair and he can't even see his food and can barely get it with a fork. He gets so frustrated, probably not as frustrated as I am though.

Trying this again.....so funny

Things I've Been Meaning to Post

I've been meaning to post our last swim of the season. It's so sad that I won't be swimming outside every Wednesday afternoon for a long time. When we were swimming I realized that I didn't bring my camera and I haven't taken pictures of the boys swimming all summer long. That was a travesty because they are so cute in the water. Luckily Lisa saved me and took lots of pictures of our cute kids. I couldn't choose between all of the pictures, so instead of making you scroll down a mile, I put them ALL in a slideshow. I love all the pictures, and I love Lisa's camera, next time I'm getting a Sony.

I took the boys to the Children's Museum again. We have a pass and they LOVE it to say the least. Jackson asks me almost every other day if we can go to the children's museum. I don't think from the pictures that you can tell they actually enjoyed themselves. I have noticed that the more intense and serious the looks are on their faces, the more fun they are having. Or they just can't look they are having fun while concentrating on something new. Who knows, but I know they liked it and Hayden cried and cried when I told him that it was time to say goodbye to the helicopter. They spent an hour on that thing and there were no other kids. It was great, but I only have one picture because I accidentally dropped the camera while taking a picture of both of them flying the thing, and the lens was stuck for the remainder of the day. That was scary, luckily I pushed it back in and it's working, but I was panicked for a while, next year when my husband has a job, and might "drop" it again so that I can get a Sony. (I really love that thing.)

And finally:

Hayden is 22 months old, which is really crazy to me because on the day Jackson turned 22 months old, Hayden was born. One important milestone happened to Hayden on the 22 months mark.

He went pee pee in the potty. Granted, he hasn't gone since, but he sits on it every day and he loves it. He asks to sit on the potty. Aaa, what a good boy.

Labor Day

Last week my sister Amy and my niece Madison came down and we went to Farm Country. The kiddies loved it.

Hayden loved the little chicks, well they might have been Turkeys, I couldn't figure out what they were. Anyways, they loved the baby poultry.

Hayden actually tried to feed the baby cow, but then pulled back as fast as he could. At least he was laughing, unlike Jackson, who basically told me I had to be kidding if I thought he was going to feed a cow.

Of course they loved playing in the jail. Jackson actually asked me yesterday, "Mom, where do we live?" Me: "We live in our house." Jackson: "No! We live in jail!" uhhhh, whatever dude.

This picture was the cutest one of all of the kids together. I should have cropped myself out.

And then of course we had to ride the horses. Hayden laughed and cried at the same time when I put him on the tiny horse. We made it one time around and then he literally jumped off, but Jackson did great all by himself.

It was pretty cute to watch them. I was glad we attempted to do something fun over labor day. The rest of the time we basically cleaned the house, which is now already a complete disaster. What a waste.
