Veterans Day Parade

On Tuesday the city of Phoenix had a Veterans Day Parade. Brian had the day off and so we decided to go. It was really long i think it was like 2 hours. They had over 90 floats and cars. Emmalee really enjoyed it her favorite part were the horses. And the also had a group of bikers for Brian to enjoy. Here are some of the pictures i took.

Halloween 2008

We had an awesome Halloween this year. We carved pumpkins at my parents house. Emmalee had a lot of fun helping take out the seeds. After we finished carving we had fun talking to each other around a campfire and drank hot apple cider. Here are some of the pictures my mom took.

On Friday we took the kids Trick or Treating. Emmalee was Sleeping Beauty and Bradley was Batman. They had a blast. Here are pictures of them in their costumes. And like the last blog i also took these pictures with my cell phone so sorry if they are blurry.

Bradleys First Trip To The Hospital

On Wednesday Bradley had his first trip to the hospital. Here's how it happened. Emmalee and Bradley were playing on my moms jogging stroller, they were standing up and leaning over the handle bar and the stroller fell backwards and Bradley got flung off the back of the stroller and smacked his cheek on the tile floor in our hall way. I called my mom (because she is a nurse) and asked her what i should do. His face was already swollen and his mouth and nose were both bleeding. She told me to take him to the hospital because he may have broken a bone in his cheek. When we got to the hospital they took a catscan of his hole head. The results came back and he had a minor concussion and lots of bruising. We are so blessed and lucky that he wasn't more seriously hurt. Here are some pictures Brian took with my phone sorry if they aren't very clear.

This is Bradley when we were

waiting to be taken to a room and i

kept on getting him to wake up but

this time I failed. He was so exhausted

Here he is in the catscan he did so well.

He actually fell a sleep

And another of him in the catscan

This is after he woke up from a good

nap and was happy and back to his

normal self climbing on the chairs

in his hospital room. We went home

about 20 min after this pic was taken.

P.S If any one was wondering Emmalee was not hurt in this accident.

Fire Station

On Wednesday I took the kids to the Fire Sation with some friends. At first Emmalee was scared to go in the truck but after a while she go more comfterable. Bradley wasnt so sure either. He liked sitting in the drivers seat and playing with the stering wheel. So all together it was a good trip. I enjoyed it too. Here are some pictures.

My New Hobby

My newest hobby is making hair bows for littile girls and babies. I am working on infant head bands right now. I am having so much fun doing them. But i think they are driving Brian crazy because of all the money i have been spending. On Tuesday I went to Wal-mart and spent $30 on ribbon.
I also have been making flower bows for Emmalee and some of my friends little girls. I will post pictures if those latter i haven taken pictures of those yet.I hope you like them as much as I do.

Labor Day Weekend

Over Labor Day weekend Brian and the kids went with my family camping. I was lucky and got to stay home and help out some friends and have a nice relaxing weekend to myself. They had a lot of fun even though it rained on them %80 of the time. They also went to a lake and went canoeing. I am so blessed to have Brian as my husband he puts up with so much and works hard. I am so thankful that he would take the kids camping by him self( with some help from you parents) so that i could stay home and help out some friends and have a weekend to my self. Here are some pictures of their trip the other little boy in the pictures is Caleb my sisters little boy.

Bradley and Caleb loved to sit with each other

The Best Vacation Ever

Last Week Brian and I went to Salt Lake Utah. It was the most fun I have had in a long time. We went through 8 Temples in 5 Days. At first I thought we would be to rushed to enjoy all of the temples but it was actually really nice. One Day we did 3 temples we were so busy we didn't get to eat lunch, and we didn't eat dinner till 9pm, but I still really enjoyed it. We also went and did everything on Temple Square. The spirit there is so strong. I wish i could live on temple square and never loose the spirit. I try so hard to keep the spirit in our home but sometimes it just isn't there. We also went to the Woman of Utah museum that was pretty cool we saw some cloths Brigham Young wore to the dedication of the St. George Temple. We also saw the gun Joseph Smith had when he was killed. We also saw one of Emma Smith's walking canes. We saw a lot more but those are the ones I remember the most. Here are some pictures of us in front of all the temples we went to.

This is the Bountiful Temple

Fishtastrophy

So some of you might know that over the Memorial day weekend our family took a trip to New Mexico to visit Brians sister Tanna. Because this was a spur of the moment decision, we were unable to get someone to feed our fish. And Because the fish was not an expensive fish, we decided to let it go and hope for the best. Four days later we came home and to our suprise the fish had survived. Emmalee was exstatic. The next day while I was watching the little girl I babysit, she stood up in the high chair, turned around and pulled the fish off the counter. The fish suffered a cut from the broken glass fish bowl and died. We thought this was ironic, but the story keeps going. Brian decided to replace the fish because Emmalee enjoys feeding it. He took Emmalee to a walmart and bought a little fishtank with a filter in it and then got the fish from the pet store because the fish from walmart have a disease called IC or ICK or something. He bought 2 fish, and set up the tank, then set the fish, still in the bag, in the tank so they could get used to the water. The tank started leaking, and Brian got mad saying "who makes a fishtank with a freakin' hole in it?" He took the fish out, still in the bag, but then got worried because he knew one of them breathed air, so he emptied them into a bowl and set them on the counter. We then left and went to the mall to walk around and take the tank back. When we got home, the kids and I went straight up to get dressed for bed and Brian came in to set up the new tank. He looked in the bowl and neither fish was in there, so he looked around and found that he was stepping on one and the other was almost all the way to the family room. They were both dead and dried up already. Suffice to say we took this as a sign we shouldn't get a new fish and it was a curse that our first fish put on our house. We said who cares and now have 4 fish in a tank with NO holes in it.

Mothers Day

Last week for Mothers Day, My sister and I took my mother on a road trip to San Diego. We wanted to take her to "Time Out for Women" here in Arizona but they are not haveing one.

So we decited to take a road trip to San Diego. We had so much fun.

After Time Out we went out to dinner at a restaurent that looked over the water it was so beautiful.

I am so glad us girls had a chance to get away. Thankyou to my wonderful husband for deeling with our 2 children for a hole weeked so i could get away. Thanks you rock babe. I hope my mom and sister has as much fun as i did. I am so lucky too have a mom and sister I can truly call my Best Friends. I hope all you moms had a Mothers Day as great as mine.

Bradleys first attempt at eating yogurt

For the past few Weeks I have been trying to get Bradley to eat food with utensils, and so I tried giving him a spoon to use with his yogurt and this is what happened.









And then latter that night Brian came home from work and started to play the piano and Bradley wanted to join in . Bradley likes to play his dad's piano and the guitar .













And then while Bradley was playing Brian would put his hand on Bradley's side and Bradley would push it away. Here is a video of it, it is so funny.
