More Fun Stuff

Never a dull moment with these two. Yesterday I caught Brody eating dog food. Awesome. Yeah right.
Later that day Brooke proclaimed to me, and I quote,"Mommy when I grow up I'm going to run away and find my prince."
Excuse me?

Brody's hair is a bit on the wild side in the photo above, I love it. Brooke is just my girly girl....I love her sweet smile and outgoing personality.

These photo's were taken at our friend Kinglsey's 1st Birthday Party. (One was taken before the party at my parent's house.) I have to say that that was one of the best 1st birthday celebration's I have ever been to. It was so much fun and I was so happy we were able to go.

In other fun news..on Saturday the 23rd Bryan and I went to the annual Kravitz holiday party. SO MUCH FUN! I should mention Kravitz is the firm Bryan works for. This was our 5th holiday party. They did a casino theme. Everyone was given tickets for the raffle and a bag of chips to play casino games with to try to score more tickets. We did ok...the first hour before dinner we were on fire!! After dinner not so much.
SO did we win anything???? YES!! we banked all of our tickets for a 200 dollar Disney gift card and WON. We were so surprised and way excited...looks like Santa Claus will be doing a disney theme this year???
It was a great night out for us and I love visiting with the other Kravitz wives and Bryan co-workers..I only see them once a year and it's so great to see them and catch up.
We are having such a great time visiting CA and we are really looking forward to a fun Halloween!

Lombardi Ranch

No Halloween is complete without a visit to our favorite pumpkin patch. We took the kids last week to Lombardi Ranch. So, so , so much fun! Brooke and Brody had a blast. Brody was everywhere and Brooke was just so excited to be there. I love Lombardi Ranch. I love how I can go back and flip through Brooke's baby photo albums and see how much she's grown since her very first visit in 2006. Brody too. Last year he was only about 8 weeks now 14 months. Crazy how time flies!
We've had plenty of trips back. Brooke has been dying to do the pony ride, hopefully we will accomplish that on Saturday and pick out our pumpkins!

And we're off....

Our bags are packed, the house is picked up and the fridge is empty. The trash is out, the beds will be made and the toilets and floors are clean.

And we're off...tomorrow, I think. I'm excited to feel the warm weather, I started running our heater 2 weeks ago....it's been cold!

I'm going to try my best to blog while at my parents house, we have so many fun things planned and I'm excited to journal about them.

What's New..

It's been a few weeks since my last post so I thought it was time for an update. We have not done anything too exciting. A couple of weeks ago Bryan set up our camping tent in the living room and he and Brooke spent the night camping in the living room. Brooke thought it was the coolest thing ever and really enjoyed it. Brody and I stuck with our beds/crib mostly because I had my flu shot earlier that day and felt like a truck hit me. I had the flu the next day..bummer!
Brody boy is now an official walker! Holy cow he gets into EVERYTHING. I thought I had at least 3 more months since Brooke was a late walker and as thick as Brody, but no he started before the 13 month mark. Brody's "boy-ness" has come out in full swing. He's a little monster, totally rough and tough and has a pretty good arm as he throws everything in his hands. Brody has his sweet moments though. I love it when he, out of nowhere, will pucker up his big lips and offer me a kiss without my asking.
October is here, one of my most favorite times of year. I've been baking non-stop filling our house with the aromas of pumpkin cookies, banana bread, cinnamon bread and it goes on and on. I love Halloween so much. I bought the kids their costumes in July ( I know, I know, but trust me I got new costumes at cheap prices on eBay). Brooke is going to be a princess ( big surprise ) and Brody a dinosaur. We decorated the front of our house but sadly mother nature is not so kind out here, they blew away within the first week. I was surprised because I thought I did a pretty good job of securing things down.
Next week we are traveling to CA. Awesome! Bryan's company has their holiday party every year the third Saturday in October and I'm way excited for a night out with my hubby! They even have some fun activities planned for the week up to the party.
We decided that since it was so close to Halloween that we would just stay another week and trick-or-treat at home with family.
The next few months have me a bit overwhelmed. We travel back to Utah on the 1st then to Arizona on the 11th for my brother-in-law's wedding, stay a week to scope out the area for a pending move...yes move, then back to CA for Thanksgiving then back to Utah. Since we are spending Christmas in CA, Santa Claus needs to get all of the Christmas shopping done before we head back to Utah. What an adventure right? :o)
