Read It

I highly recommend these books to anybody. I haven't been much of a reader for a few years now, but I found it absolutely impossible to put these books down. You've probably heard about them or at least seen them in stores. It's the Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer and the movie to Twilight will be in theaters November 21, 2008. Even Nick, who never reads and even hates to read has been reading the first one, Twilight. Give them a try… You won't be disappointed.

New Photos From Sunday

This last Sunday we went and took pictures of the kids again. Our camera isn't nice so they didn't turn out as well as we would've liked them to. Aspyn moves a lot and our camera isn't fast enough to keep up with her.

Da Boots

Aspyn got some new boots today at Once Upon A Child and she just adores them. She has been wearing them around the house all afternoon and she doesn't want me to take them off of her. I finally got them off for a while when she fell asleep for a bit, but as soon as she woke up she wanted them back on again. Also, check out the troll hair.

Balanced... Happy vs. Angry

Why can't both kids just be happy at the same time? As you can see, Aspyn was extremely happy today. She had a lot of fun in the bath this morning and she's been exceptionally good all day. She has enjoyed reading her little board books we found today in Braxton's room.

Braxton on the other hand has been whiny and rude all day. At dinner he refused to eat. He doesn't understand why he can't just have something else, but he's starving because he never eats lunch at school. He throws his food away so he can go outside to play with friends. He is so wasteful. I try to explain to him that there's kids in other countries who don't have food to eat, but still he doesn't get it. So after yelling that he hates me and I'm so mean he ended up going to bed hungry anyways. I did give him a haircut after he showered since it was still early and he had the guts to say that he didn't want to have to shower again to get the itchy hair off because it would be a waste of water. WHAT??? Any suggestions on what I can do to make him grateful and less wasteful?

She really did have fun in the tub today!

New To Blogging

This blogging thing is pretty new to me, but I figured since some of our family just moved away to Washington and Alaska it might be a good idea to help them keep up with our little fam. We miss you all terribly! So, while you guys are off enjoying yourselves please take time to remember us once in a while and check our blog.

This Sunday we went to the new Snake River Landing and Taylor's Crossing and Nick took some adorable pictures of the kidders. Enjoy!
