Happy 5th Birthday Isaac & Brady

A couple months ago during my Mother of Multiple's meeting we were taught how to decorate cakes professionally. I decided I would give it a try with the boys' cupcakes. Here is the outcome of that try. They turned out pretty good and the boys were able to bring them to school.

On the weekend, we gave the boys a party at Chuck E Cheese. Michelle brought Megan and Logan, and my neighbor Megan brought her Brady. The boys had a great time, until Chuck E came out. Then Brady didn't want to have anything to do with him, which is why you don't see him in the picture below. I've decided that I will never have a party there again on the weekend. It is just WAY to crazy busy and they rush you off the tables before you really get a chance to do anything. You only have an hour and a half and then they need to table for the next party. I really didn't like it at all.

At least the boys had a good time.

Christmas 2009

Here are some pictures from Christmas 2009.

Whaccha doin'?

The boys were very engrossed in whatever it was they were watching or doing on the computers.. Brady looks so cute in daddy's hat.

Where's Brady

Tonight I was sitting downstairs talking on the phone. I thought Brady was playing upstairs in either the living room or maybe even his room. When I got off the phone, I went to look to see what Brady was up to. I looked in the living room and he wasn't there, then I looked upstairs and he wasn't up there. I couldn't see him anywhere. Then I remembered this one time that he was actually inbetween the wall and the couch playing, so I looked there. That's where I found him....sleeping.

School pictures

We have received the boys school pictures. Here is how they turned out.

Isaac's are pretty much what we figured. He isn't shy at all and was glad to smile for the camera.

Brady on the other hand was totally shy and didn't want to smile. This is completely how he would act when he doesn't know someone.

When we got the sample pictures home and Brady had the chance to look at both of them. He told me that he wanted a picture like Isaac's. I guess he didn't like that fact that he wasn't smiling in his. I told him he needed to smile for the camera. Maybe next year will be different.

Sad day

Today is a sad day in our house. We had to put one of our cats to sleep. We had Kamy for many years, but she was sick. I never got her officially diagnosed, but we all know she was sick. Shawn brought her in today. The boys really were fond of her as she let them do anything they wanted to her. She will surely be missed. I never thought I would get attached that much to an animal, but she was the best.

One of my favorite memories of her is when she was a kitten. Shawn had his shoes off and she was playing with one of the laces. Somehow she had gotten it caught on her paw, so when she would try walking, this big shoe would following her where ever she went. The shoe was bigger than her at the time. I almost cried I was laughing so hard.

Kamy, we will miss you.

Halloween 2009

Yesterday was Halloween. I don't have any pictures because both the boys ended up dressing the same as they did last year. Isaac was Eeyore and Brady was a pumpkin. They won't be able to be those next year, or at least Brady won't be able to wear the pumpkin outfit next year. I had grocery shopping to do that day and we also bowled, so it was a busy day. Daddy ended up getting their costumes on, so when I got home the 3 of us were out the door to go trick or treating.

We tried going to this one house, but some kids in front of us said not to because there was a sign on the door saying they had run out of candy. It was nice of the kids to let us know so that we didn't make the hike up to the door. Well, anyways, a few houses later, Isaac was telling me a story. He was going on about this one time we couldn't go to a house because they had run out of candy. I said, "What like 5 minutes ago?" and he replied "No, 3 minutes ago." It was so cute, I couldn't help but laugh.
