Monkey over the Gate

I finally got it! I think it is funny and I could watch it over and over again!

Turkey Day!!

It was nice and quiet, We had Duane, Trevor's dad here for a few hours. After he got here the kids just kept doing what they were doing and he just kind of sat there. I cornered Adrienne and told her to get out scrabble, and well Duane is very serious about his scrabble, he has an official scrabble dictionary (we had it here at our house). Ya he kicked some scrabble tail! Anyway the kids had fun. During that I put together a step by step book for Duane to check his email, and Trevor set up a face book. We will take baby steps here and start with email, then maybe around Christmas or New Years we will introduce face book depending on how email goes. Yesterday Oliver and I made pies me pecan, and Oliver pumpkin. We also decided to prepare a turkey with a brine so we started yesterday and let it soak over night. This morning Trevor cooked pumpkin rolls. As soon as the bird went into the oven I went to work on the rolls, just not hard enough. As the bird got done (so we thought) Adrienne peeled the potatoes, Trevor did the green beans, and Oliver did the cinnamon butter. Oliver got impatient with me and the rolls and took over and finished. It was all after scrabble while watching Pirates of the Caribbean (paused for dinner). Dinner was nice, however Oliver was wolfing dinner down, at that point he said I need to hurry I am going to go on a double date with a friend....WHAT! OH well it was nice while it lasted. They are now here playing Halo Reach. I have everything cleaned up and the Turkey is now cooked and put away, the pie is still out on the table so I guess I better go put that away...It was nice the Weaver's were missed, has they have been since they left, however it was still very nice. :)

Happy Halloween!

Trevor as Mr. Clean, Beth at a witch, Adrienne as Smurfette, Oliver as a druid priest, Braden as death with light savers, and Edward as our little skeleton!
We had a blast at the ward party last night (Well our 2 dried priests (Oliver and his friend Paul) left early and came home and played x-box) All of Boise is trick or treating tonight, and I refuse to go buy candy because every time I do I eat it, and it is Sunday and I don't want to be running to the door all night, and I know the boys won't do it either. Well I hope you all had a happy Halloween!

Play Time

YUM!!! Pumpkin Peeps!

He found the dishwasher (yes it is dirty) and found himself in the dishwasher.

Bath Time

My Humpkin Heads!

I went to Wall greens today to get a few things and found these ball. I have been wanting to get some little balls for Edward to teach him how to roll back and forth, well when they come in blue and orange who could turn them down.

Ok so I couldn't help my self....yes I got some for Sawyer also you all should be getting them next week.

Edward loves and takes advantage of any opportunity to get into my stuff. He has crawled between the gate (that Braden took down) and the couch.

I left him with the boys while I went to Wall-greens, then the post office.

This day he found the string on my hoodie, and he loved chewing on it. I kept coming back to it.

Here I left my bowl and spoon on the floor, and of course he had to take advantage of that.

OH ya he know what to do with a spoon!

7 Months today!

So last Sunday I decided to put him in the tub without his seat, he sat up like a big boy and splashed a lot and had a great time, I don't think we will be using his seat again :)

He has also pretty much grown out of this little chair, the other day I put him in this chair and strapped him in and he turned sideways and grabbed the leg and pulled himself out of the chair.

Trevor has been getting up with him and letting me sleep just a little longer, he loves hanging out with his dad.

Adrienne picked this shirt out for him, it says "I get into everything" with a cookie jar on it. At the time he was just rolling around, and hadn't started crawling, well he army crawls all over the place and explores everything. (he will never get far because he leaves a trail of spit-up) Someone please tell me how to turn the faucet off!

This is his toy basket, he get under the handle and gets stuck, he can roll out or crawl out because he keeps trying to put his head over the handle.

He somehow manages to always get the same sock off, so when he has socks on it is always just a sock and it is always on the same foot!

So he kind of broke my keyboard by hitting it all the time, so since it was still under warranty we got it replaced and we didn't need to send the old one back, so he got a new toy.

Here is was hanging out in the kitchen with me while I fixed dinner, I gave him a heel of french bread, he loved it and it kept him busy for quite awhile.

Tonight (at 7 months) I ask Braden to bring him in the kitchen while I was cooking again, and this is how he was delivered, he does have toys under the blanket. I just thought he was so cute so I took some pictures of him. The first one he is looking up at Braden, I think he was trying to figure out why he did what he did.

Every now and again I wonder what I was thinking, but he is so worth it! He is such a little monkey, and he is so much fun. He is getting very vocal and making a lot of different noises and spitting, he also growls a lot, even when he is eating, yes the spitting and growling. It just makes me laugh, and then of course he keeps doing it. (Maybe I shouldn't have read him "Where the Wild Things Are"
