Messes

So there are a couple things my children are AWESOME at and one of those things is trashing a house in less then 5 minutes, and trust me that is not even a joke. So Kadyn is probably my number one mess maker, but trailing right behind him is my little Colton. He sure does know how to make a mess and most the time it is on my carpet with food, and not just any food but black pudding! Example below...............................

LITTLE DEVIL!!!!!!!

My little babysitter

So I can really tell that Kadyn is growing up in the past few months. He is becoming my little helper around the house. Before anytime I asked him for help he would just pretend like he didn't hear me and go on with what he is doing. Now he is always asking me if he can help clean the house. He will vacuum the WHOLE house, and does a pretty good job at it too. He also loves to walk around with his spray bottle of cleaner (it's just water, shhhh don't tell him) and a rag and cleans every single surface of the house. Okay so maybe my OCD with having a clean house is rubbing off on him, but I could think of a lot worse things he could be doing. Anyway so the picture below is Kadyn babysitting Colton. He loves to play babysitter, it is probably because they are with a babysitter a lot now. Well he does such a great job and this is where he put Colton down for is nap last time he was "babysitting" him. My baby is all grown up, before I know it he is going to be off on his own, hopeful he will always be a mamma's boy!

Pulling cats by their tail

This is what happens when you try to pull a cat around by his tail, (please kids don't try this at home never a good idea) unless of course you want your face to look like this. My sweet little Austin, wait did I say sweet I must be confused! He may not be sweetest thing, (especially to Farley), but dang he is cute!!!

Blessings

Kids do the sweetest things! This is an old picture that I just came across today that I had forgot to blog. It was so sweet about a month or so ago I walked out to the living room to see this........

The boys were giving Faley a blessing. At first I thought they were holding then down on the ground and then I heard Austin saying Heavenly Father, Heavenly Father, Heavenly Father (he thinks those are the only two words in a blessing I guess). Anyway I though it was so sweet and just had to give my boys credit for being the cutest boys in the world!

Thanks Boo

I got this cute little book mark thing in the mail today from Becki it has the best quote I have ever heard, I love it!! Thanks Becki you are the best sister and always will be!! I am SO EXCITED to see you!! So here is the quote, it says....


Before you go to bed,
Give your troubles
to God.
He's up all night
Anyway.

Love that!!

What.....

Okay so last night I was trying to find Colton so I could get him in the bath and then off to bed. I walked into the kitchen and this is what I found...............
Little devil! He tried to give me his What did I do mom look......but it didn't work. Okay so maybe it did work I let him keep eating the donuts until I could grab the camera and take a few pictures. I am sure that was his plan all along.

Shoes shoes shoes.....

Isn't he cute! They don't look as good on him as they do on me but pretty darn close.

Froggy

Okay so Colton has been so cute lately he is learning new things everyday and loves to explore. So Kadyn got this frog a long time ago from Grandma Kathy and it sign "What a beautiful Day". Well Colton has always loved to dance and he has finally found someone that will ALWAYS dance with him. He is so sweet he carries him everywhere and treats him like a real friend. He is not my baby anymore. Times goes by so fast, I am happy that I am learning to enjoy my children when they are young.

Farley

Okay so the other night we were just hanging out and Colton was holding Farley, (he loves him). He had his arm around Farley and was just sitting there when all of a sudden out of the blue he put Farley's ear in his mouth! We started busting up laughing! He must have done it 20 times before Farley had enough and ran away. He is the best cat ever, he is great with the boys and the boys just love him so much. I am happy we found him!

Crazy night!

Okay so I went down the street tonight to get a gallon of milk cause we had just ran out. When I walked into the store the cashier was FREAKING OUT!!! She was like I just got robbed. WOW, didn't I have perfect timing. Two minutes earlier and I would have been there in the store when it was getting robbed. To make this an even more interesting story, when I was leaving my house which is like 3 blocks away, I stopped to check my mail and saw a chick book it down the street away from me. After I had checked the mail I got back in the car. When I saw the chick again she had met up with another kid and they were booking it down the street. I paused for a second and then for some reason got a feeling to just let them go, so I just headed to the store. Come to find out when I got to the store those kids where the ones that had just robbed the store. I am so glad I listened to that still small voice, who knows what would have happened if I went after them. Lesson learned, listen, don't push that voice out of your head there is always a reason for it!!

I Ask God

I asked God to take away my grief.
And God said, "No....
It is not for Me to take away,
But for you to work through."

I asked God to make my broken heart whole.
And God said, "No ....
Your spirit is whole,
Your pain is only temporary."

I asked God to grant me patience.
And God said, "No....
Patience is a by-product of tribulation,
It isn't granted, it's earned."

I asked God to give me happiness.
And God said, "No....
I give blessings,
Happiness is up to you."

I asked God to spare me pain.
And God said, "No...
Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares
And brings you closer to me."

I asked God to make my spirit grow.
And God said, "No....
Grow on your own.
I do the pruning that makes you fruitful."

I asked God if He loved me.
And God said, "Yes....
I gave My only Son to die for you."

I asked God to help me love others
As much as He loves me.
He said, "Ah, finally, you have the idea."

No love in the world is like that of the Lord, if only we could love a tenth of what he does. It is so sad that we all take his love for granted! What if he wasn't there? What would we do then? Lord I can not live without you, without you I am nothing, please help me to love those that have hurt me. Please help me to love as you love, unconditionally, nonjudgmental, and forever.

Halloween!!

So last night was so much fun!! The kids were like little energizer bunnies. We started the night by going to the YMCA they were handing out candy and had all kinds of fun games for the kids!! Colton found a balloon and had the best time of his life. Everyone there was like oh look at the cute panda bear. We did everything twice and then headed to a neighborhood in Grants Pass that has really old big nice houses.

The houses were all decorated and the streets were packed!! We walked forever and went to a ton of houses. When we were done Kadyn told me on the way home that he thinks next year that maybe I should bring a stroller for him too. Also another funny quick story. So I made dinner for the boys before we went trick or treating and I told them they could eat all the candy they wanted to if they ate all there dinner. So they did. Well we got done trick or treating Kadyn turns to me and says, "I never have to eat dinner again I can eat candy forever now". I think maybe he misunderstood what I told him. Anyway the day is almost over and he realizes that he still has to eat food that candy will not give you strong muscles like batman. Kids are so cute. So after trick or treating we went home and the kids wanted to play in their costumes more. It was late but I let them anyway, it wasn't 2 minutes later they were sprawled out on the couch almost asleep. It was a very fun night!!

When we first got home

After a few minutes of playing

Then two minutes after that!!
