aLL SmiLeS!!

I have to say I have the BEST baby boy alive. Gage is the sweetest thing EvEr! He is just all smiles lately, and is so happy.. you can talk to him for a second and he just smiles. I love it. His cry is even sweet. He'll usually just kind of whine like "Hey.. is anyone around to maybe hold me?". I take him around with me to work and every day I'm amazed at how well he co-operates with me and just hangs out.. so patient, so happy... SO SWEET!

BeNcH..

Here was the finished product on one of Cody's snowboard benches he made...

TiS The SeaSoN!

Just a couple shots of Cody puttin up the lights, and the decor we did last weekend. This weekend will consist of getting a tree picked out! I cant wait! I love this time of year. Although I dont have the decorating bug for some reason. So we'll see what actually gets up. I just wish it was done! I dont know how my mom every year puts up all of her decorations, replacing almost all of the things she has out. I love going to her house, it feels so warm, and spirited. Someday.... :)

These are kinda funny. I actually think Gage looks more like Cody than Weston does.. although both I think resemble him more. Its those Johanson Jeans!

WoRk iT BoY, WoRk iT!

The last couple weeks Cody has been slaving away in the garage. He finished earlier this week with getting it done, with only a few minor oraganizing details to do. He's already been out building away! He has made it so super nice! I love it. He painted, trimmed it out, apoxy'd the floor, wired for a sound system, oraganized his work bench.. I think he's been working so hard on it because it has become his sanctuary. Which I dont blame him. If I was that talented on building, fixing, and inventing things, I'd want a working haven as well! He's done such an incredible job on this house and everything he puts effort into. He's definately the families perfectionist! Thanks for all you do Babe.. I Love you! I even have my very own parking spot! ReSeRvEd! Im stoked about that one! :)This is today's project, a snowboard bench for the garage.. ya have to have seating arrangements, and they must be worthy! His buddy that was working with him, left on a snowboarding trip, but told Cody he could get snowboards. So he asked to get the boards, and they asked for him to make them one as well in exchange for the boards.. Done deal!

Dino.... Saur!! RaAaRRrr!

Today, Alyssa Weston and I took off to the DiNoSaUr MuSeUm!! Dad of course had things to build, things to weld so didnt get to make it with! (Missed ya!) Weston has never seen Dino... Saurs, as he says it. So we thought we'd show him what they were all about. He thought they were pretty Scary! So scary in fact, he had to look over his shoulder all the time making sure they wouldnt come after him that he couldn't hardly pose for me to take his picture! Do you see that scared look on his face (above)? HaHa of course, if you've ever been to the museum at Thanksgiving Point the favorite parts are digging in the sand pits! We had fun.. Thanks Lou and Westy for the fun time! :)

BaNg BaNg!!

Tonight Weston and I got to play guns for about an hour! Lys is having a friend sleep over and they dont want to be bothered, so I needed to keep him entertained, and out of their way! I don't think either of us lost interest in doing so though! He'd come chase after me while I would hide around the corner, or up the stairs and shoot him when he'd come around, scaring him EVERY time without fail. It was a 'BLAST'! West actually took this shot of me.. not too bad for his first time!

BuStEd!!

Weston, Weston, Weston... Here is a shot of OnE of Westons famous moments doing something he shouldn't be. Whenever he is queit for more than two minutes I have to go see what he is into, and this time happened to be tearing apart Lys's room and getting into markers. He loves her room, theres lots of neat stuff he shouldn't play with. Lets just say I am so thankful he didnt write on the walls! Dont you love his "Oh Hi Mom! Im just in here being a good boy!" Look!?

Good Morning!

This morning after getting ready Weston wanted to 'Hold.... Baby... Gage!' I told him to sit on the couch and he could hold him. Well I guess sitting by Gage is Westons holding... anyway they are looking so cute in their matching shirts I had to take a picture. If you'll notice, Gage fills out his 6-9 month shirt (being only 2 months!) alot more than West does his. I think Gage gets chunkier by the minute! I love it!

KoOokY FoR CoOkIeS!

Last night we made some Chocolate chip cookies that we took to some of our neighbors.. It was fun! Lys was my special delivery girl, She's so great with people and making them feel so Loved. I think she gets that from Grandpa Larry. Way to go Lys!

ThE NeWeSt KiNg oF ThE ThRoNe????

Weston has been so interested in the potty lately but we've yet to toss his diapers! He has a problem telling me he needs to go potty, when he IS going potty. So of course I rush him to the bathroom, take off his now wet diaper and he sits for a second and tells me he's done. I do have to give him credit, because he's gone in the mornings when or if his diaper is off already. Does anyone have any suggestions? Because I am more than open to ideas. Should I toss him into 'big boy underwear' and let it fly? Lys was so much different, she let me know when she was ready and hadnt had a problem ever since...

GaGe'S SpeCiaL DaY..

Yesterday was Gage's blessing day. It was such a great day! I just want to tell ALL of you who came Thanks so much for coming and showing your support and love, and helping out we appreciate everything SO much! To those of you who I didnt get the message to, I apologize! Mom, I can't even begin to thank you and Dad for everything. I have the best parents in the world! My Dad gave him the sweetest blessing, and my Mom of course brought the sweetest treats! Mmmm.. Cinnamon rolls! Thanks so much for your time and effort you put forth.

Gage is so sweet, I can't believe what a sweet, good baby he is. He's so special, and such a special part of our family.

I have to share a story Mike had shared with me about a conversation He and Alyssa had after the blessing. Mike was telling Alyssa how special it was that Grandpa had blessed Gage. She told him that he too had blessed her. She then asked "Did grandpa bless Weston too?" and Mike said "No, I blessed Weston", Alyssa then said "Ohh that must be why he's such a Stinker!". Haha... I thought it was funny she was teasing him about it. I told Mike maybe we should give him a few more blessings.. He says "yah, some blessings with my belt!" Aww Weston.. we all need one of you in the family! Life would be a bore! :)

HaLLoWeeN!

I just realized I never got up pictures of our little Disco Diva in her outfit for HaLLoWeeN! It was a pretty good day! We had SO many trick or Treaters I couldnt believe it! I knew our neighborhood had LoTs of kids so I bought lots of candy to hand out, but our huge bowl full of Candy dissappeared and I ended up grabbing some stuff from 'my' stash! haha, probably a good thing! Friends came over for dinner, and we got to hang out and watch scary movies! I think I'm good on scary movies for a WhiLe!
