I think we are in for a shock!

We have been enjoying extended afternoon trips to the park the last few days. The weather has been absolutely wonderful. The boys love running around, climbing, sliding, and swinging. I enjoy sitting in the warm sun, and watching these two get all of their energy out. I think we are going to freeze next week in Utah!

Uncle Jeff, this post is for you!

Hmmm, do you think we have future wrestlers in our house??

I don't know, but I do know there is no way around our boys having the urge to wrestle 24/7!

Uncle Jeff was a big time wrestler in high school, so maybe they will follow in his footsteps!

The point is, if you want in good with Ashton and Weston, then you'd better be prepared for a good ol' romp on the floor-complete with pulling, rolling and twisting.

But at the end of the day (or match) these two are the best of friends, and most likely will end each "wrestle" with a big hug and kiss!

For a good cause

Me and my sis will be here doing this on Thanksgiving morning (not in Syracuse like the banner in the picture says). The funds raised will benefit the Utah Food Bank and LDS Humanitarian Services. I am thankful to help in a small way with something that is so big, especially because I have so much. Thanks sis for runnin' with me... can't wait!

Thanks for visiting Gma & Gpa B and Jeff (Jeff stayed with us an extra day after playing in the BYU/San Diego game that we attended)! We had fun!

Happy Halloween!

We just couldn't wait to post these pictures!!! :)

"Trick or Treat"

Trick or treating was priceless this year. Set aside the fact that the temp outside was a perfect 70 degrees, the boys had so much fun! Ashton was so into the whole ordeal and that made it really fun. Weston was a good sport and wore his "puppu" costume proudly. Everyone thought that they were adorable, and our neighborhood/community was awesome and so festive. There were so many kids out, and neighbors sitting in their front yards just watching and enjoying the trick or treaters. At one point a guy in a scary mask and cape answered one of the doors, and after Ashton reluctantly chose his candy he let us know that "he's not real, he wasn't really scary, he was kinda nice". We got a good laugh out of that. After we got back towards our house Tommy and Weston went home to pass out candy while I took Ashton to a few more houses. Ashton nonchalantly let Tommy know that "me and mom are going to have some fun". And yes we did. When we finally got home, the boys dumped out their loot and wasted no time digging right in. We finished our Halloween watching the new Ice Age together, and then the boys quickly went to bed. We are still on the mend with our colds, feeling a lot better, but still not ourselves yet. We are grateful that we were well enough to go out tonight and have this experience as a family. It was very fun, and definitely made a memory for all of us!

Happy Halloween 2009!

BYU/San Diego game

T and I had so much fun on our "date night" to the BYU game. We picked up the babysitter around 2:30 and rushed to meet T's parents at the game. We enjoyed watching BYU win, and the weather was great. We were both comfortably dressed in shorts and t-shirts (I put on my hoodie just as the game was ending). After the game we ran down to the field to yell to T's brother Jeff, #58 on the team. We met up with the rest of our group and headed to Cheesecake for dinner. Unfortunately the wait was 2 hours, and our babysitter was clocking $10 an hour so we changed destinations and enjoyed some good mexican food. It was nice getting out of the house just us two! The boys were both in bed when we got home and the house was nice and clean. All was well :)

Please excuse our absence...

Yes it's true. H1N1 has infected our family (minus T) and it hasn't been pretty (not that any type of sickness is). Imagine all of the worst cold/flu symptoms possible all wrapped up into one-for the last 6 days. Sore throats, FEVERS, body aches, coughs, congestion galore, throwing up,hospital/doctor visits, numerous calls to nurses-you name it we've had it. We couldn't have done it without T though. He has been super dad and husband and we THANK YOU. We hope to be up and running again soon. This sickness has really wiped us out. Stay tuned for pictures of grandma and grandpa Bells visit... hope this finds you all healthy and well :)
