Auntie Em

My sister Emily came over to my house Thursday with my mom to make me a yummy vegetarian stew(my mom is so sweet). I love seeing Emily and don't see her nearly enough, She only lives in downtown Salt Lake so like 15min away but she is always so busy with school and work. I say poop on that. I want to start hanging out with her more when she gets her break from school, I have lots of plans for us. And Max thinks she is the coolest.
I love you Emmy pie.

The first snow of the season

We woke up to it snowing this morning and a blanket of snow covering everything. We had a cuddly morning and decided to throw on some clothes and have breakfast at our local coffee and bakery shop, Bakery and Brews. It was so nice and cozy.
Now im in the mood to listen to some Christmas music and snuggle with my boys.

Trick-or-Treating

As you can see it was an awesome night. Max loved trick-or-treating, he thought it was the greatest thing everyone was giving him candy. And his cousin Seinna was great introducing him at every house, "That's Max. He's a superhero." Then after Max would take some candy she would say "Oh he always does that, he always wants a lot." It was great.

Halloween Day

{just woke up from his nap}

{he was very happy about this leaf}

{carving the pumpkin!}

Halloween day we hung out and carved a pumpkin. And of course I had to take some pictures of Max out with all the awesome leafs that had fallen off our tree. Then we headed over to Mason's parents and played with Max in their backyard for awhile. We had the traditional pumpkin dinner, one of my favorite meals! Then it was time for trick-or-treating with Max's two cousins.
More to come on that.

Happy Halloween!

For my boys

Tonight as I laid between you two, Max falling asleep beside me in his bed and Jack on the floor asleep in his bouncer. I thought of how much I love you two and how it wont always be like that, me laying with my two sweet boys. You two will grow up and not need me to help you fall asleep. I laid there trying to soak it in, trying to make a memory to hold onto.
The sweet piano lullaby's playing, Jack's soft breathing, Max holding onto my arm.

I cannot express how much I love you two, I hope you sweet boys will always know how much I love you and how I would do anything to make you happy. I make sure to hug and kiss you two every chance I get and whisper in your ear "I love you my baby". I am excited to see my two boys grow up, you two just get more and more handsome everyday. But for now I can wait. For now I want to savor the smell of Jacks sweet breath when I kiss him and feel Max's cute little arms wrap around my neck when I kneel down to him. I am so lucky I have you two, my sweet boys.

Love, your mommy

Witches Night Out

{Max was pretty confused about the whole thing}

Mason and I went to Witches Night Out at Gardner Village the other night with his sister Lexi and her two girls. It was so crowded! But it ended up being a fun night of people watching. Max was pretty confused with all the crazy dressed up people and loud music. Jack just slept the whole time snuggled up to me in his baby carrier. The girls got their faces painted and we just ended up walking around looking at things and visiting the Disco Witch, who is a good friend of Mason's mom.

It was a good start to get in the spirit for Halloween.

Discovery Gateway

As part of my birthday weekend(I know late post..) we took Max to Discovery Gateway. It's a children's museum at the gateway mall. I hoped Max was old enough to enjoy the different things and it turned out better then I thought it would.

When we got there Max went straight for the "garden" area where there are tons of plastic balls that you can put in holes and tubes and things. It is probably one of his favorite places now.

Max also got pushed down by another kid for the first time. I don't know what to say in that situation. I was just glad his mom got mad at him and took him for a time out. Max was pretty taken back by the whole thing. My poor innocent Max seeing what the world is like, haha. Not that Max is always the perfect kid but he is sweet most of the time., But if he is not sharing I always try and make sure he does and plays nice.

Then we walked around the other areas, he loved the water area also. It was so much fun to see him having such a good time.

We will hopefully be going back again.
