you can come to my party ~ if you pokemon

Josh and Jake are way into Pokemon these days. Joshy is thinking of who to invite to his birthday party coming up and this is how he determines ifyou are invited:

"oh, little Johnny, I want to invite him! He has this really super powerful Pokemon card. He is pretty cool".

then poor Sammy:

"I am not inviting Sammy. He doesnt even like Pokemon! He likes Yu-Gi-Oh."

Josh is deciding who to invite by your rank and liking of Pokemon cards.......

finally Halloween!

We had a great halloween.

art class

I get all mushy and sentimental and want to bottle stuff like this up when I see the boys being so cute. They are having art class, Jacobb is the teacher and the have set up this cute little classroom.


they are drawing pictures of aliens. s.

Evie Lou ~

Evie just turned one years old! Happy Birthday Evie. This picture is from Lisa's party. Though a bit blurry, I thought this picture was wayyyyy cute.

the pumpkin patch

I am about a month behind on the whole picture / blogging thing...below are pictures from a local pumpkin patch. We then went to Brian and Lisa's for a fun little halloween party.


what is up with Josh's red moustache in every picture?!
Jacobb has the perfect picture pose.
This picture of the family is pretty cute.
This is Lisa's fun party. The kids were decorating cupcakes.
Oh my gosh. they are so adorable. (Even from behind!)

Ty thinks this is pretty cool.
the next 3 pictures are so funny. Evie gets put in

the wheelbarrow and its not so bad.... until she looks around......

Once she realizes she is surrounded by all the boys,
she doesn't like it so............. she cries. My favorite
thing is Ty looking around like is she crying because I didnt
do anything.

and I continue to snap pictures as Evie is screaming her brains out.

the calm before the storm

In my previous post I mentioned Josh was playing catch with his beloved Utah football and it was run over. Below are pictures of Josh playing catch with his ball - before tragedy struck.

Go Utes!

We will be cheering for the Utes this weekend - GOOOOOOOOOO UTES!
These pictures are from a Utah game we went to this year ~ during the first snow fall of the season. The boys were bundled up nice and warm, however, Jared and I - not so much! We didnt have our snow gear covering our legs so once we sat down on the wet bleachers and the snow/rain mix drenched our legs, it was time to go. We probably lasted 20 - 30 minutes. The boys mind didn't really mind leaving early... after they got to visit the gift shop. We hope to make it many more games next year.

This football Joshy has. He loved it. He thought he was hot stuff since he could catch it with one hand, and throw a spin with one hand and do all these fancy things. Well... his ball accidentally got ran over by a vehicle when someone threw his ball in the road (while they were playing catch) , and it was popped. JOSH WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SAD! We were at a birthday party and he tried so hard not to cry but he was very sad. But dont worry. His Grandma immediately left the party and bought him a new one. What a happy ending :)
