Christmas eve

Christmas day

snow fun!

e

some of Mike's cousins

First things first Mike decided he wanted to be creative and make an olympic torch birthday gift for his brother in law. Let me just tell you I married a genius! I thought it was strange but hilarious at the same time you would never of known it was a present right?lol Next came Christmas eve where we ate sandwiches and opened presents at Mike's mothers house. That's a tradition we do every year. Then of course came Christmas . The boys got spoiled by there grandparents let me tell ya i'm glad it was two presents each this year. we ended up having to take some of there old toys to DI ! I had to get them all packed up and ready to go to Utah . We traveled with Mike's mother and step dad and his preggers sister with her husband and daughter. The grandparents took Rhett and there daughter Brooklyn. Those two just love being together! We stopped every hour along the way for the pregnant lady. You would think stopping every hour heading to Provo would be a pain in the butt but it actually was a good time and gave the kids a break from the car. Surprisingly we got to provo in a descent time. The thing that sucks is not many restaurants are open in provo on Christmas so we ended up having a Denny's dinner. Not the greatest but better than nothing! We got a hotel in orem where are room was next to grandparents. Mike's sister stayed with her husbands fam. The next day we headed to Heber met up with all Mike's cousin's he hasn't seen since our wedding . We all went sledding at some place where you pay. Now let me tell you a couple things. Snow clothes take forever to put on! I was ready to quit half way through and I was already done freezing to death! Gage was fell a couple times cause he had so much on he couldn't gain his balance. Another thing I was wondering why the heck somebody would pay to go sledding? Well it comes to show it's not nearly as hard of work! They had 400 foot man made hills with humps in them. They had the tubes for you and levers to take you up the hill in your tubes so you wouldn't have to climb all the way up youself. We all had lots of fun. I even took Gage down the big hill and he loved it. There was also a kiddy hill that not many people used so me and Gage made our way up and down the hill most of the two hours we were there! We went back to Mike's aunts house had soup and mingled. We went back to the hotel slept until about 2 and decided we couldn't sleep so we left for home got back at 7 and enjoyed a lazy day with a little bit of sleep. So far it was the greatest Christmas we have had. Family and fun! Happy New Years to everyone!

way behind!

ok so it's been a while since updating I'm way behind . These pics are a bit mixed around also. Anywa so I decided to have my own dance party since for many years I've been talking about having one I finally made it happen. And guess what kind of dance party? 80's is right! It was plenty fun to dress up 80's and just enjoy the night I even wipped out the only break dance move I knew and it was a hit! I just want to thank those people that came. I had a lovely dinner at my inlaws house with carrot cake and a cherry chocolate cake made by my great sister in law Tiff. Thanks Tiff! Thanks for all the gifts also was a great Birthday! My boys got a bunkbed. I think it was just about time for some sharing and Gage to have a big boy bed and it worked like a charm they both do alot better together than they do apart! Then I was crazy enough to see one of the first showings of New Moon with Mikes sisters and mother second year in a row. I kind of like the tradition. It's lots of fun but it was freezing outside and the line went around the outside of the casino building. We made shirts and mine said "team edward or team jacob?" the answer was "yes". Why do I need to choose between the two there both good looking. By the end of the movie I decided I liked edward better still. Sorry Jacob your just to young for me! Wait what am I saying I'm married you're hot honey!:) Love you! For Christmas this year we decided we're gonna go to Utah and be with Mikes extended family so while we were visiting in Cedar wher Mikes dad lives. That's where we went for a little get away from the kids by the way we decided to buy snow clothes which cost an arm and a leg! Yikes! Plus we had maintenance to our car before we left in the snow. Tires that is,arm and a leg! We also have been doin little Christmasy things with the kids since Mikes sister is here visiting with her little girl til they have to move to Florida. It's gonna be a while til we see them again. Rhett and his cousin Brooklyn made Ginger bread houses that grandma bought for them Mike made it and rhett added the candy. Rhett's awesome Robot he made! The kid loves robots I asked if it was wall-e and he said no it's a transformer! So that's that I still have another post to make of Gage's second Birthday so be prepared for more fun!

Ok so it's been a while I've been slacking a little with my blogs! Let's see what's been going on since Rhett's Birthday.. We had Halloween which Rhett got to dress up for his prescool party. He also had a little kid party with all the cousins. Then Halloween night him and Gage went trick or treating. We almost didn't go cause they already had a ton of candy... Then came my birthday I had an awesome 80's dance party! I got to enjoy dancing and seeing some friends in my rockin 80's gear! But I'm not so sure I like the numbers 26! I also had a nice dinner at mikes parents house. Oh yes how could I forget the lovely date night with my husband also. He took me to BJ's and we ate like pigs! DE-LISH! I'm still trying to recover from all of that. The boys have been crazy! I can't take them anywhere without having some kind of craziness! They are everywhere! I think right now I'm having a hard time with them just because of that. There at naughty boy ages I guess. If one does one thing the other follows! Rhett is having a thing where he talks back and says no like all the time and everything is an argument. Gage is a very happy little man but boy he is into everything! Rhett and Gage are good little buddies though. Rhett gets very protective of him. I just met with Rhett's teacher and she told me he is doin great compared to last year he wasn't speaking much. So we just been a little busy the last couple of months with Birthdays and Holidays but there is plenty more on the way!

Rhett is four!

Rhett's first day of school

2009-08-24T12:28:00.000-07:00

For those of you who don't really know Rhett is starting his first official year in preschool. Last year he started at the end of the year. He goes to preschool at Cozine elementary. He goes four days a week two and a half hours each of those days.They are helping him with his speech and behavioral skills so he is ready for Kindergarten next year. And yep it's free! They'll be helping with other things too..He was so excited to start school this morning and it was weird watching him leave on the bus. Today I realized how much more of a help he is to me considering Gage my almost toddler is attached at my hip and I can hardly get things done without Rhett. Yikes!It's a little quieter without him too I don't know what I'll do when all my children will be in school! I'm gonna have to get a job or something to keep myself from getting lonely! But for now I'll try to take advantage of the not going crazy with two for a couple hours!Only one!Hee Hee..

Summertime Randomness

2009-08-10T20:25:00.000-07:00

Don't really have much to post just a few random pics. I got new glasses so I thought it'd be fun to take a few pics and Mike decided to jump in!He looks like a glasses model don't you think? The boys in grandmas rocking chairs watching a movie. The pic of Rhett is after a hot and humid day at the park. I don't know what i was thinking that day! Rhett's cousins came over and decided to play dress up with the Halloween costumes we had. Gage had a chocolate pudding and decided it was better on him instead of in him..The last one is after Gage had a Hulk popsicle and look what it did turned him into the Hulk!

Rhett's first day of Gymnastics!

4th of July

2009-07-06T20:19:00.000-07:00

Alright so we went to Nellis AirForce Base to watch the fireworks. Had a nice picnic threw a ball around had some Ice Cream . Made glow in the dark necklaces for the kids. It was surprisingly relaxing considering we don't have a lot of those kinds of days when we are out and about. As a matter of fact it's pretty much a rare occasion! We went along with my mother-in-law and father-in-law, he's the one that got us in. It was a fun new experience and it was actually kind of nice weather! Surprising for Vegas! Mike's sister Tiff was there and her daughter my cute little niece Brooklyn! We watched fireworks and then went back to the in-laws and did more foreworks. We
didn't get home til 11:30p.m. which is really late for us cause we're old fogies. So I actually think this is the best 4th we've had since we've been married. Ha! There you have it our Independence day of 2009!

Here's a clip of the awesome fireworks we saw at the Base.

Crazy kids!

2009-06-28T16:32:00.000-07:00

My boys have the greatest personalities ever! They're just so goofy and fun. Gage is every where and into everything right now. He is constantly on the go getting into trouble and Rhett is right there with him!But in a different way. Rhett is a lot more tantrummy and talks back a lot lately it's driving me insane! But the kid is always trying to tease us and say crazy things that he thinks are funny. Gage on the other hand is constantly dancing to everything he hears and is starting to say alot more words. It's crazy! The pic with the book Rhett is reading to his brother. Actually showing him the shapes.He'll ask Gage where a shape is and he'll say "good job Gage"! It's pretty dang cute! I heard him doing it while I was in another room. I actually recorded it but am to lazy to put it on so maybe later. THe pic with Gage holdin the remote. He thought he was so cool chillin on mom and dad's bed changing the channels,little stinker! Then Rhett's big face ! He decided it would be a good idea to steal mom's camera and take a couple pics one being himself. Not bad!And of course the last silly pic. Rhett one morning found Gage's old halloween costume in Gages room and was pretending to be a lion and chase Gage around. That's what's been happening lately with my two little monsters. Too cute!

My boys

2009-06-04T12:35:00.000-07:00

Look at those little boogers up top. Aren't they the cutest things!! Gage with his evil looking smile and Rhett always making funny faces for the camera. I love those boys! Rhett just finished preschool today and he absolutely loves going. He'll ask me all morning if it's time to go on the bus yet. His speech skills are improving alot he is starting to say small sentences more and you can understand him more which is nice. I'm not so sure with the behavior though. He is a pretty stubborn kid so it's hard to get the naughtiness out! He is very into hitting for some reason right now which drives me crazy since he got kicked out of the gym two weeks ago. He is still my little stinker butt! But he is Mr. Funny right now he loves to tell jokes they may not make sense but they make me laugh! He'll say "knock knock" and I'll say "who's there" he'll pretend like he is opening the door and say"pickles" and I'll say 'pickles who' and he'll just start laughing cause that pretty much was the joke. He'll just say something random and laugh histarically it's the greatest thing! He is our little comedian!lol Then comes Gage he's is Rhett little follower tries to do everything Rhett does. They're my little trouble makers. Gage absolutely loves the table he'll get on it and dance or he'll just go sit in his chair for no reason. He spends alot of his time there. It's really hard for any one to eat at the table if he's not strapped in his seat! he is Mr. Friendly though he smiles at just about any one. He is definately a mamas boy. I love it! Both of them like to be my helpers except Rhett has to feel in the mood for it or I just force it upon him! lol Gage will help me put the clothes from the wash into the drier. I'll just set the clothes on the door and he pushes it in. Oh yeah Gage will walk right in front of us and just act like he knows where we are going. It's so funny he'll turn his head to make sure that's where we're going but he has to be the leader! Both my boys are super smart Rhett knows his alphabet and already can draw most of the letters which surprised me cause I had no clue he could do that! He is very good at manipulating things. Gage he seems to understand most things I say to him. We already puthim in time out for being bad cause he understands it for the most part.He'll sit in the corner until we say all done. That's pretty dang good for one and a half. When I tell Rhett to take out the trash he goes right to the door where we take it out. So that's my boys for ya! Hope you enjoyed my ranting on about them. There will be more in the future!

Boom Boom Pow

2009-05-12T10:11:00.000-07:00

The boys absolutely love to dance and they love the Black eyed peas song Boom Boom Pow. In the video they rock out and try to sing with the song. My boys are so cute!

EE...III...EEEE.....IIII....OHH.....

2009-05-04T12:35:00.000-07:00

So Rhett has been to school for a week and these are two of the things he accomplished last week.I'm guessing the theme was farm animals. Which he did a good job crafting! I was surprised how well he did I thought there would at least be one bad day in the week for him but he did really well. He ended up getting a prize out of the prize box for being good all week. He felt pretty special about that! I think he is already improving with his sentences even though it's only been a week and also pronouncing things better. I'm glad he has something in the week he can look forward to. Once school is over I think I'll get him into some gymnastics or some other physical activities so he's occupied for the summer at least. I'm also loving the little bit of free time since my littlist is pretty much a toddler now. I got my hands full that's for sure. It's good to have a break though!

We Thought this was hilarious Gage put this on his head then Rhett. You just had to be there!

Rhett's First Day!

2009-04-27T12:45:00.000-07:00

Rhett with his new awesome spider man backpack!

So Rhett has started preschool today! Crazy! I can't believe every thing seemed to happen so fast. His school's name in Cozine Elementary. He will only go for a month since school is almost out for everyone and pick back up next year he rides a bus and they're teaching everything from behavioral , social, and speech skills. Everything that he needs to learn for starting kindergarten. The best thing is that it's free. For those who know Rhett he is a little harder than other children and his speech is behind so i decided to get him tested at child find. Which will help to see if your child needs help in speech autism or any other problems your child could be having I think this will be a great experience for him and he'll be ready for kindergarten when he is through with this. They decided some behavior needs to be fixed but mostly his speech which they'll be working on alot. He'll also hopefully will be better at home for me. . He's a good boy but he is definately my little challenge but there is a reason he is my challenge and I'm ready for it! So I didn't know if the bus was coming so I was packing the boys in the car and all the sudden the bus shows up I hurry him to the bus and he looks back at me confused like "aren't you coming mom". I felt so bad and told him I loved him and he went off it all happened so fast I couldn't explain anything to him so now I just wait from 12:30 to 2:54 wondering how everything is. Hmmm... It's very quiet with out him and I already miss my little monster!

Yep 45 pounds!

2009-04-08T10:56:00.000-07:00

Rhett can lift more than his own weight. He's a big boy so the weight isn't much more than him. But it's pretty amazing a three year old can lift that much! Mike made this video to prove to his buddies at work that he can actually lift that much so I thought I might as well show you!

Our Texas Trip

2009-03-30T12:31:00.001-07:00

Happy Birday!

2009-03-03T13:31:00.000-08:00

It was Mike's Birthday the 25th of Feb. and Brooklyn's Birthday on the 2nd of march so we put two Birthdays into one. Brooklyn is Mike's sisters daughter by the way our niece. They came from Texas to visit. Mike wanted to be the decorator as you can see he did a fabulous job! well it started with me and then ended with Mike. I got extremely lazy.Mike had a delicious chocolate cake and Brooklyn had a funfetti mermaid cake. It was a fun little pink party for the both of them. I had to put the pic of Gage up cause I just think it's so funny any time he notices a camera he has to smile! Let me just tell you my blog is not so exciting anymore sorry if I bore anyone.

The first time we met

2009-02-19T14:07:00.000-08:00

So i'm a little late with this blog. Me and Mike have been together for five years now. February 13th is the day we met on a friday night at a church singles dance. We were introduced by my friend Laura who worked with him at the time doing Characatures. That was the only singles dance I had ever gone to. He asked me to dance and later that night asked me for my number. So of course i gave it to him. The next day he called . I already had plans to babysit my sister-in-law Faun's kids cause I never expected to go on a date on valentines and especially the next day after meeting him. Some of you know of the 7 day rule!So he ended up meeting me at where I babysat and hung out trying to convince my niece he was a ninja. I liked his strangeness! Than he took me to get frozen custard and to see fiftey first dates. Which is a very cute movie. As we were sitting in the theatre he grabbed my hand and asked if he can borrow it for a while . Smooth and cheesy at the same time! We just hung out the rest of the night talkin and hangin out. We've been together almost every day since. Happy five years Mike! I love you! Please ignore the nappy hair in one of my pics I can't believe he still liked me after he saw that. I feel bad for him!

Making Cookies!

2009-02-11T08:21:00.000-08:00

So Monday for some reason I decided I wanted to bake and have Rhett help me. Rhett was very excited especially for putting the sprinkles on the cookies. He actually wanted to do that at the very beginning. Gage was asleep and we got to finish the whole batch before he woke up. Rhett had lots of fun!. He was acting like he knew what he was doing and would try to put something in before it was time. He ended up eating two cookies and some cookie dough and of course begging for more. We had a good time and we ended up delivering the cookies the same day. I guess I was just crazy that day.

Smiley Pants

2009-02-04T13:10:00.000-08:00

There is no one in the world that smiles more than this child. He is so funny. He is always smiling at people, when he's walking around, or even when he is crying you can make the boy smile! He gives the cheesy smile most the time. which is the best one ever! He'll squint his eyes and show all his teeth for you. It's too cute! You can't say no to him without smiling cause he get's you with that smile. Oh my little smiley pants how I love your smiles!

He's Walking!

2009-01-27T09:57:00.000-08:00

Gage is walking now! Well not completely but getting there. It's so fun to watch him wobble around. And Rhett of course has to be part of all the action so you get bits of both Gage and Rhett.

Kisses

2009-01-26T09:44:00.000-08:00

My Rhett picked out the border. He loved the black kisses.

Just Chillin

2009-01-20T13:46:00.001-08:00

I don't know how to turn the pic.

catching up!

2009-01-14T09:09:00.000-08:00

So I guess I haven't done a real blog in a while. I haven't really had anything to put up lately. So I'll just talk about a few things. One is my children's toys as you can see they have more than enough toys. They are driving me insane cause there is no where to put them anymore and it's like they keep on coming!Ahhh...!! You know how some people say you can never spoil your child too much.Believe me these kids are spoiled. I feel like half of my house is toys which it pretty much is. I know what would help the situation is to make a narnia wardrobe that way I can stuff all the toys in it and not have to look at a thing! Never ending wardrobe, wonderful! Now my two little angels or monsters?hmmm....Little Gage has turned into the cute baby who knows he is doing something naughty. He will look at you with a huge smile shake his head no and move on with his naughty work. You are lucky you're so dang cute! He's has also started to walk from short distances that is if he wants to. But he does walk a little. He loves to restle with Rhett. Let me tell ya these boys are definately boys! Oh and another thing Gage dances to just about any song that comes on it's so funny! The boy has rythm. It's off to Rhett. Rhett has starting talking more clearly and is getting a little calmer these days thank goodness cause we have a wild child on our hands. He's kind of started potty training which hopefully he'll be on the toilet without any help by age four.He's doing pretty good. He's started in sunbeams this year which he loves. He is turning into such a big boy! He's still got the rebelious side in him though. Rhett also has started saying please and sorry a lot I'm not sure he completely get's the word sorry cause he says it when he's angry sometimes but he has the jest of it. Please he definately knows. He'll put his hands together and ask for something with please while begging and he'll have a innocent face to go along. I give in every time cause it's the cutest thing I've ever seen. Now me and Mike well Mike mostly not a lot is going on with me except the fact of hangin with the kids longer than usual by myself which can be tiring. Mike on the other hand got a new job. Well it's for the same union but instead of a sheet metal worker he is now an airbalancer. Don't ask cause I have no clue what that is. All I know is that he likes it and he doesn't have to do manual labor. He has also started working overtime thank goodness cause we need it. Especially at a time like this. We are planning to get a few things with the extra money and decided we need a real vacation considering last year was a failure for vacations. We are going to Texas where his sister lives it'll be awesome. Sea world the zoo and yummy resteraunts so excited. So that's really all that's going on with the Perkins family.

2008-12-15T12:38:00.000-08:00

all in all

So here is Gage's party it didn't turn out as big as I thought! But all in all he did have a fun one. Mikes mom and Malcolm came, my dad and my grandma Nelson, Andy my little brother or I should say not so little brother came. Gage played with the choo choo train his grandma Dana gave him forever! He wasn't interested in anything else for a while. He got a little walker shopping cart which he loves. He walks really good with it too. Thank you everyone who came! We had a gigantic cosco cake we got and half of it is sitting in our fridge!We got him a little Giraffe bike he liked it the least! lol But what are ya gonna do? right?One more thing I just want to say sorry to my mom if you read this. Love ya mom! Oh yeah I forgot one more thing! Gage ate a couple bites of the frosting on his cake and started balling. I don't think he likes to be messy.

Happy 1st birthday Gage!

2008-12-09T09:48:00.000-08:00

He is so cuddley and is friendly to everyone he meets. I can tell he is gonna grow up and have tons of friends. He is the most loveable little boy! He is my little roley poley! I love you Gage! Happy Birthday!

Oh Christmas Tree?

2008-12-08T08:29:00.000-08:00

So This year is the 2nd time in the last 4 years we have been married and we have a Christmas tree! yay!Lets see the first year I guess doesn't count cause it wasn't really ours. We were living with Mike's parents. The second year we had Rhett and were living in an apartment. We got a pretty small and cheap tree. Decorated it. When Christmas was over Mike took the tree with decorations and all and dumped it in the dumpster. It was pretty funny to watch cause it was a windy day and you could see decorations flying down the street! you just had to be there! Last year we just bought a house and had my second little wee one. So we couldn't really afford a tree. This year we were fortunate enough that Mikes dad lives in Cedar and offered to bring a fresh cut tree to us. Who doesn't like a free tree?!So there you have it,some pics of our unbreakable tree! The ornaments we got are plastic. Shhhh... We still need a topper so not quite finished!

Our Anniversary

2008-11-27T08:13:00.000-08:00

Mike and I have been married for four years today. We have two beautiful boys and a home that will eventually be the way we like. And yes our Anniversary is Thanksgiving this year. Awesome! We get to celebrate by eating! I just want to tell my husband what an awesome man he is!Thank you for all your hard work and always being on my side. I love you! Though some of you don't see how tender my husband is he loves me to death and I him. He has a great sense of humor and is always concerned for my needs and wants. I love you sweety and thanks for being my sugar daddy! lol!Happy Anniversary!Oh to everyone sorry about the pics there a little blurry. Our scanner is not working.

2008-11-26T11:51:00.002-08:00

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!Gobble! Gobble!

Twilight Baby!

2008-11-21T08:17:00.001-08:00

So yes I did officially dork out wit my sister-in-laws and mother-in-law. Shirts and even the midnight showing. It was fun. But probably not the smartest thing when you have two babies running around the house.My thought on the movie. A little cheesy but good. I think it suppost to be cheesy, right? Even though they're not suppost to have fangs they should've.. Sorry to those that are reading and haven't seen the movie. Caution! wait it's a little to late for that!Oh and Edward was the star of the show! So Hotttt! That is a pretty HOT TAMALE. I apologize to my husband for that! Well there you have it. I wont spoil any more! Look How white I am. you could never tell if I am a vampire or not!

Boredom

2008-11-12T08:39:00.000-08:00

This is what my husband did when I went on an errand.

2008-11-10T08:45:00.000-08:00

This was actually the day after my B-day . I had a dinner and cake at my husbands parents house . Mike's mom took me shopping she always gives that awesome gift to me every year. Thanks peggy! Sorry about the scroungey look but I was totally being lazy. So there you have it my b-day.

A Turtle?

2008-11-06T07:44:00.000-08:00

When mike came home from work he almost ran a desert tortoise over. He called animal control and they came and picked it up. It was just a little baby. We probably would've kept it if it were legal but there endangered. I told my husband that's the kind of pet we should have. We're not really animal people. But I don't mind turtles.
we found a desert totoise in our garage. Actually Mike

The lamp is on fire!

2008-10-20T11:18:00.000-07:00

So Saturday as I was going to lay in my bed. I went to turn on the lamp next to it.Not really thinking about what I was doing . All of a sudden I see sparks flying and hear a buzzing sound. I scream and run away from the craziness look over, hear a pop and the lamp is on fire. Mike runs to put it out and it goes out before he gets to it. I was completely in shock after words. Knowing that I pretty much almost got electricuted and our house almost caught fire. There is a burn mark on our wall and this is a video of the damage to our lamp. Fun times huh!

Grandma got the boys new clothes which was nice cause we were running out. I know I ate a ton while she was here. It seemed like we had a feast everyday. We had the family at our house and played the game apples to apples. I recommend it to everyone. Let me tell about a couple pictures. Like the ones of me. Tiffany took them. I don't like being on the spot so I make weird faces when I take pics as you can see.The ones of Tiff I just like to embarass it's fun! There is one of her cute little girl Brooklyn she's a cutie. The girliest girl I know. I need a little girl!So we pretty much just hung out. Oh yeah we went to the park and Rhett decided to get soaked in the water. Gage has vampire fangs.

Smell the Roses

2008-09-26T12:42:00.000-07:00

In the far back is the one pink rose.

This tree used to look like a twig with a few branches.

So finally all of my flowers for the first time, I got to see bloom at the same time. We redid our yard end of spring or beginning of summer and they were just itty bitty stems with a couple of flowers. and all summer just a few would blossom in their own time. Never at the same time. I was getting a little worried about one. It never grew a flower after the first time. Then just recently we got one. It's the one by our front door. The single pink rose. I'm very proud of our luscious garden growing in our front yard. It's a first for me. I got some of the flowers a little late in the pics. Some are starting to die. But I'm just trying to enjoy them while I still can. Everything you see in the pictures were all tiny little plants before.

What's going on?

2008-09-24T08:58:00.000-07:00

My little stander.

Gage sitting in a basket he put himself in.

Rhett very involved in his tool set.

Gage wanting out of his crib.

So Gage is a major choker. Ever since he was born he would choke on his own spit. Now the smallest things he puts in his mouth he chokes or gags on them. The kid scares the crap out of me! I made him some mashed bananas for lunch yesterday. They were a little chunky every bite he gagged and spit out the chunks. I'm thinking he isn't at all ready for the chunky baby food yet. He's starting to pull himself up on things but only one problem he thinks he can walk too.I don't know what the boy's thinking. He'll just slightly turn himself around and let go like he's gonna walk off. He gets so ahead of himself. My little confident boy! Mike and I can see that Rhett and Gage are slowly becoming a team against us. They absolutely adore each other. Rhett is always saying "oh cute mom" or "Funny mom". About his little brother Gage. Gage just follows Rhett where ever he goes and Rhett loves it. They both are obsessed with playing with cords. It drives us crazy! Gage loves those electrical sockets. So we have child proof covers on every one in the house. I have a feeling the trouble is only starting. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Gage is getting two more teeth on top. He is growing fangs. So he's turning into a vampire!

Murder Mystery

2008-09-19T21:46:00.000-07:00

I want you all to experience what your husband would look like if he had a mustache and clothes like these. There is nothing more attractive than a sleezy mustache on the man you love. (lol)This picture was from a murder mystery game we made with Mikes family a while back. He fits a creep perfect. There are a few other pictures from the game. Sorry to mikes family if you don't want me to show your pictures. Just to inform you the belly on me is real. I was pregnant at the time. My costume's the least exciting, I know.

Blast From The Past!

2008-09-15T17:04:00.000-07:00

This is for you Tiff. To remember us visiting last year in Texas. We had bunches of fun!This is Rhett and his cousin Brooklyn riding the merry go round. My little chunky monkey! We hope to visit soon! The video where Rhett is dancing, you'll see quite a bit of butt crackage. Again from Sara's Dictionary. The crack is genetic. We can't help what peeks out the back of our pants!Hee!Hee! Rhett's such a cute little chunk in the video. Oh memories!

Gage's first cut

Gage playin with his shadow

Gage wakin Rhett from his late nap

Gage sitting on his favorite toy. Rhett's new bike.

Rhett after waking up grumpy and just had chocolate ice cream.

So a few things went on yesterday.Mike called me after he got out of work. He told me he had left a crack in his window so it wouldn't be to hot in his car. After work he got in his car and there were about 40 angry bees flying around in his car trying to get out. He just jumped out and left the door open so they could fly out. I think it is very weird that they would just decide to go in his car on there own. What I think happened is they got planted there. That's my take. He told me his work buddy didn't have any. Maybe there is somebody that doesn't like him?! But anyway The boys I think are starting to get a cold. They both have runny noses and Rhett used my pants that I was wearing as a snot rag. It was sooo... disgusting! Rhett was very grumpy yesterday cause he didn't take his nap then finally fell asleep on the floor in our living room after crying forever because of something that he wasn't aloud to have. Gage woke him up and he was grumpy all over again. We had a pretty long day yesterday. Gage was pretty happy though he's always pretty happy. He discovered his own shadow and thought was the coolest thing. He would make little movements with his hand above the floor to see his shadow. He loves to playwith the curtains to our back porch. He just laughs and talks while he's laying on his back tugging at them. The bike Rhett got for his Birthday Gage loves that thing too. He just sits in it with pride. Like mom look what I'm doing. I'm a big boy! We have very proud boys in our family. Which is a good thing.

2008-09-08T14:59:00.000-07:00

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Callie and her family. For the terrible accident that just occurred. She is in the hospital and we hope and pray she is doing well.

Happy Birthday Rhett!

2008-09-07T20:34:00.001-07:00

Today is Rhett's Birthday and he has had a fulfilling one. He has had pretty much a two day birthday. He went to the shark reef Saturday at the Mandalay Bay. He absolutely loved it! On our way out we were walking by a wall that had a bunch of statue cut outs of body parts. I thought maybe he won't notice them and sure enough he pointed out boobs on the wall. He said "that one". Of course his father was very proud we just both kind of laughed. Sunday he had a party at grandma Peggy's house, or should I say maama as Rhett would call her. But still he made out with a few presents.Grandma made a feast for many more people than there were. Thanks for that delicious meal by the way. I just gained two pounds that I had lost. This week I have to work at the gym a little harder (heehee). Mike made the birthday cake . You did a good job sweety. He doesn't think he did a good job. Rhett has alot more toys and books so he'll be set for the next year he doesn't know what to do with all the stuff he got ! But he had a fun and pretty darn good birthday . Happy Birthday! I love you Rhett!

Celebrating Three Years of My Little Rhett!

Naughty kid for sale!

2008-09-05T12:27:00.000-07:00

Does everything in his power to do the opposite of what you want. Likes things his way. Throws tantrums, cries, hits. Thinks everything is his. Breaks and destroys. Screams to the top of his lungs. Runs away when you ask him to wait. Takes from other kids. Gives you grey hair. Everything you want in a little boy. My little angel.

2008-09-02T17:44:00.000-07:00

Rhett as the best super hero of all! BATMAN!

Subpar Labor Day Weekend

2008-09-02T08:58:00.000-07:00

So labor day weekend. We were suppost to have a family vacation at my cousins but that didn't end up working out. She lives in Salt Lake. Me and Mike ended up having an overnight stay in St. George on saturday. I just found out somebody just got busted for a pot farm there.Hilarious! Just so we could get away from the kids for a day. Of course, I forgot my camera. I always do on trips. Grandma Cheryl watched the boys for us. We got a heart shape tub in our honeymoon sweet. Nice, huh. But we went to relax so we just went out to eat and hung out in our room for the rest the night watching a movie. Mike started reading Twilight. He's already finished. He passed me in reading already.I'm only a fourth done with the second book. We both read that night. I can't seem to find the time to read with two kids. Only when they go to bed. We came home sunday and just hung out. Monday was kind of a dreadful day cause Mike was moping around. It kind of sucked until we went to my dads and had dinner with some of my family. So Labor day weekend was subpar for us. But what can you do. I wish we had a better time.

2008-08-29T07:25:00.000-07:00

So here is my new cut! I never look good in pictures. Change of subject. I have a kind of funny story. A couple nights ago, when me and my hubby were sleeping. I had woken up from a bad dream. He asked if I was o.k. then he asks if sex would make me feel better. I was thinking why the heck would he say that to me. It turns out he had no clue he said that to me. I told him all about it. Now he uses that line for everything. It just shows what all men think about. Perves!

2008-08-26T14:46:00.000-07:00

I finally got my videos to work I have been tryin to put on a video for a while. This goes with the post below. Gage is scootin along.

2008-08-26T14:06:00.000-07:00

Gage just started scooting like crazy in the last few days. He is everywhere! Now no matter what, I have to be with every moment cause you never know where he might end up. I'm sure Gage is happier because he gets to interact more with Rhett. The boy loves his big brother. When Rhett's noisy so is Gage. So it all begins for me. Craziness that is. I can tell they're already starting to team up. Us against them. For those who spend there money on toys for there children you got it all wrong! A box is always going to entertain.

Twilight

2008-08-25T14:17:00.000-07:00

So the book Twilight is awesome! I know I'm a little behind everyone else in the books. At least the movie isn't out yet. The trailer gave me chills though. I'm so excited to see the movie. I have to apologize to my husband but edward is hot!!! Of course not as hot as my hubby. It's o.k. to have a crush on a fictional character right? It doesn't count in real life. Anyway those of you who have not read the book I suggest that you give it a try. I'm pretty sure though that I'm the only one who hasn't read the whole series yet.

A DAY WITH THE COUSINS

2008-08-23T08:16:00.000-07:00

rhett got to have a day with cousin pierce to play. He had a sleep over with his cousin seth and zac. so he had lots of fun with both. That was an exciting and big day for him cause he doesn't get to play with them very often. Look how tender he can be.

2008-08-21T10:33:00.000-07:00

You can see it's very hard to punish this child

They both wanted to sit in a toy box

HELPP!!!!

2008-08-20T11:00:00.000-07:00

So last weekend we had gone to cosco. We were checking out and rhett hit the lady that was helping put stuff in the basket it was so embarassing. I couldn't believe he would do such a thing . Lately he has been really out of hand .Hitting, yelling, talking back, you name it any ideas of what to do. I think i've ran out of things I can think of. He is being so bad!!! I feel like there is no control over him. I wonder if it's his age or it's some other problem. Any advice would be nice?

2008-08-15T13:25:00.000-07:00

I'm looking for new delicious recipes. That are farely easy and don't take long to make. If any of you have a recipe you'd like to give or ideas of any cookbooks to get. I'd love to hear!

2008-08-15T09:57:00.000-07:00

having lots of fun!

2 teef

sleepy baby

Rhett can't get enough attention

So these are just random pictures I took in the past week. Mike bought the little pool for the boys to play in. It's a cute little pool and the boys loved it. Rhett went hyperly insane. Hyperly is not a word but it's in the sara dictionary. He can be the most rambunctious little boy. There is no calming him. But he was very happy about the pool. It was for his sake cause in vegas you can't really play outside unless it's in the water or some other time besides summer. Gage has two teeth now! He's been slobbering like crazy. He had gotten them both in one week. I realized teething is pretty much the worse time for your baby and for the parent. The baby's fussy and your trying everything you can to make them feel better. Oh, when there sick to cause you have to be with them til it's all over. All they want is mom.

2008-08-12T11:34:00.000-07:00

This is from a couple years ago but it's the best picture I could find of me and mike Those of you who don't know my handsome hubby here is a closer pic. My husband was very sweet and brought home flowers yesterday. Aren't they pretty? I noticed that I haven't taken any good pictures in the last year or two of myself. I'm either very tired looking or just look ragged. I guess I need to start looking good all the time. So I can be prepared fo the next pic.

my boys are growing

2008-08-11T08:24:00.000-07:00

pics of Rhett and Gage

When Rhett was My little baby

so yesterday my hubby was working overtime. Rhett came into my room to wake me up. He says, daa?daaa? I tell him he's at work. He says "ok ma lets go, hurry! hurry! ma lets go". You just had to be there it was so cute. He says so much now. It's so weird to here him talk so much. My little baby is a little boy now. Gage has two teeth already. He just turned 8 months over the weekend. And I think he just might be as loud as rhett or even louder. He has a set of lungs on him. I can't believe how time passes.

two posts spread through time

2008-08-05T18:55:00.000-07:00

So i finally got pictures up. As you can tell this is my first blog. I spread my pictures out through time. sometimes I can be so dense when it comes to computers. so me and Mike were walking around in Target. In the swimming section I saw a five dollar slip and slide. I was thinking how fun it used to be when i used to do that. I convinced Mike to get it and we had a little slip and slide party with Mikes sister and her two boys. It was just as fun as I thought it would be. Rhett wanted to take over the whole thing for himself just so he could drink the water spraying out of it. So we had to hold him back just so everyone could get a turn. There are some 4th pictures from before I didn't get to write about yet. We went over to my sister-in-laws house and had a barbeque with there family. We just did small fire works for the kids. They had fun.Rhett tried to be a firework. Gage he was in awe just watching and observing.Gage is our observer, he likes to watch how things work. Rhett is our free,spirited, independent one. He is very stubborn and not afraid of alot. Gage is mellow complete opposite of rhett. He does have a little bit of a temper when he wants something though.But there you have it. two posts put into one. Hopefully the next post will be much better.
