Graydin is Walking!!!

Graydin is full on walking! He has taken a few steps here and there for about a month now, but just the last few days he has actually been walking more than crawling. I think he liked crawling because he could get from place to place a lot faster. I know a lot of you may think this is late but Trevin didnt take his first steps til he was 15 months. So, Graydin walking at 13 months is very significant to us!

Random Busy Week!

Here are a few random Pictures from our very busy week!

On Wednesday, Trevins preschool went to pumpkin land here are a few of his classmates and friends!

On Friday, Rich and Trevin went to Idaho for some work Rich had to do. Trevin loves to stay in Hotels and acts like he owns the place when he is there. He loves having his own bed and own TV. He thinks he is a stud. While they were out they went to a pumpkin patch as well!

Every time they stop for gas Trevin just has to get out of the car and help dad!



On Saturday, We went to my sisters house in Hooper and decorated cookies and then the kids got dressed up and we went to boo at the Zoo. Believe me it was literally a Zoo of People! This is a picture of Trevin with my 92 year old Grandma, she is so sweet and was probably just thinking...Oh dear why does he have long hair! I think I would have really cute girls!

On Sunday we only had 1 hour of church since our ward split. So we went to temple square and walked around!

Photo Tag!

I have been tagged by my friend Tina. Now I am not one for tags but this one is kinda fun, it's a photo tag. You go to your picture files, choose the 4th file, go to the 4th picture and post it and explain it and then tag 4 people.

This is Rich and Graydin this summer in the swimming pool at the hotel we stayed at when we went to Disneyland! I call Rich Mr. Mom, because he takes on all of the responsiblities that a father and husband should have as well as most of the responsibilities a mother has. Since I teach and manage our dance studio, I dont even get home until 9:30 or so some nights . When I get home Rich has both kids fed, and put to bed by the time I get home. He never complains about having to take care of them so much and is extremely supportive in helping me fulfill one of my dreams of having a dance studio. I am so lucky to have Rich as my husband because I dont think there is anyone out there that would do and put up with the things that Rich does! He is such a great example to me and my two boys and I could not do it without him!

I usually would not tag someone but I am really interested to see what is in Robyn W., Kirstin, Melanie, and Misti S. picture files and whoe ever else would like to share!

Mamma Mia! Girls Weekend!

This last weekend I went on a much needed girls weekend with My sister in-laws and Mother in-law. We all left Friday and Stopped in St. George for some shopping at the outlets, then we headed our way to Las Vegas! We stayed at the Silverton where there was Very yummy $5 pizza and an awesome huge fish aquarium. The whole reason for going to Vegas was to go see the musical "Mamma Mia". It was AWESOME! Saturday night we went to the musical after another full day of shopping at the Vegas outlets (yes, Rich's sisters love to shop!) We had some very eventful nights at the silverton, It is really funny to be with a bunch of moms that dont get out too much! I would expand but what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas! I had such a great time and am fully refreshed! Thanks for the weekend ladies!

This is my sister in-laws and mother in-law at the Mandalay Bay where the musical was shocked

by the prices on the menu! Talk about Expensive.

This is all of us in the theatre before the musical started!

Ward split!

I came home from a girls weekend last night to find out that our ward had been split! I just want to say to all the great families that we lost, I am so sad! I know its not like they moved away, but still it will be so sad not to see you on sundays! We will miss you ! I declare we have a ladies night once a month so that we still can hang out and see eachother! What do you think???
Good luck with your new ward!

Graydins Art Work!

Tonight I was out in the front yard talking to a neighbor that has moved away that I havent seen in a while. Trevin had gone inside to go play down stairs and Graydin had followed him. I came in and found My barely 13 month old Graydin with a black marker in his hand and marker all over his shirt. I thought dang it Graydin how did you find that marker. A little later I went to lock the front door and noticed that my China Hutch, and both white couches in my formal living room has art work as well. The Art work on the China Hutch looked a little high so I measured Graydin to the markings. Yep just perfect!

In almost 4 years of Trevins life he has never drawn on anything he wasnt supposed to. Graydin seems to amaze us every day at how crazy and busy he is. This is really new to us as parents because Trevin has always been just the opposite.

I thought I was being such a good mom today. I fed them breakfast, lunch, and made them a good dinner(opposed to usually eating out!) Played outside, went for a walk, and watched a movie with them. I thought I was doing so good! Oh well at least it gives me something to blog about!



I must say 1 more thing! Those of you who are stay at home moms are amazing! With my studio I am working at least four days a week and Rich takes over and is super mom! I have never met a man that does as much mommy stuff and Daddy stuff as Rich does he is truly amazing and so is everyone else who are stay home moms!

p.s. does anyone know how to get the dry erase marker out of the couch? I have tried everything!

Trevins 1st Dentist Visit!

Trevin had a his first Dentist Visit today. Ya I know he is almost 4 and I should have done it a long time ago! The matter of fact is that I HATE going to the dentist myself. I hate the smell, I hate teeth, I just hate everything about it! I have also heard such horror stories from my sister-in-laws and friend about their kids going to the dentist and just freaking out. So, I just have been putting it off for a very long time. Well one of my students and friends, dad and husband is a pediatric dentist in Lehi, Hans Peterson. He is a real nice guy and great dentist so I thought if anyone is good enough he is. So I made Rich take him in for his appt. We are happy to report he has NO cavities and he was so good and did everything the doctor asked! He was so excited to show me the prize and toothbrush he got from the dentist! It's really bad when it takes 3 yr old to show me, hey mom the dentist isn't that bad!
