What the New Year it has been.
I must take a moment, and thank the Batty Family, the Rushton Family, the friends and other relatives, as well as the ward family that we have enjoyed. We are especially thankful for the prayer and fasts that were done for Meagan and the Baby to make a quick and full recovery, and we assure you, that the power of those have been both seen and felt. for all those who have helped, and those who offered help, may I express our deepest graditude for that.

Ill get to it
I've come to the realization that I love the idea of blogging but following through is not one of my strong points, obviously. So I guess its about time to get this updated. However, this is not the case tonight. Im hoping that by doing this I will be annoyed at the thought of a incomplete blog post and do an actual, worth while update. Until then, perhaps tomorrow, good night world.

Oh Geez..
June :: My birthday came and went and nothing too exciting happened expect hubby was awesome and let me buy lots and lots of yarn for my crochet blankets i truly intend to finish one day :). However, The second week in June we left the boys at gma and gpa batty's and me and hubby took a few day trip to Baton Rouge, Louisiana with my whole family for a bowling trip (sans my older brother and his wife that were unable to come). they only bowled for a total of like 6 hours the whole time so we had lots of time to play as well. It was hot and humid to say the least and rained like no bodies business but it was a fun. We saw some cool tourist sights like a huge battle ship, an awesome Plantation and even went on a Alligator swamp tour. Where we not only saw huge gators which we got to hold and then later that night we ate some gator as well. Gotta tell ya gator is pretty tasty.
July :: For once we got to stay and watch the entire firework show! We made sure Jayden at Ear muffs on and Korwin slept through them! Wahoo! Jayden has been deathly afraid of frireworks the previous 2 years so it was nice to see him enjoy them this year. We didn't do any of our own since there was a city wide firework restriction due to the fire danger and such. But it was awesome to go and watch the big show! Then of course July is Rodeo Month! We were able to go all three nights which was awesome and we took the boys one night with us. Jayden seemed to enjoy it but Korwin was bored from the moment we sat down. OH well, they sure looked cute in their cowboy gear! Then the last weekend of July we took a trip to Provo and we came home with our new (to us) Tahoe. Our old blue was starting to run on its last dream and we needed bigger so we finally took the plunge and got us our new car.
August:: For my dads birthday we got him tickets to a bees game and so we left the boys again for a quick weekend get away and the whole family went to the game. (we missed two of our favorites who live in Virginia! We thought of ya!) It was a pretty close game but the best part was the fireworks at the end. Salt lake knows how to do fireworks, made ours look so puny!
And here we are in September. First weekend my mom was brave and took me and the two boys out to the swiss days in midway this year. Hubs had to work sadly but we are so going next year! Swiss days was awesome. Just the amount of talented people in crazy. Soo many booths, food and just crazy people. The boys did pretty awesome given the fact they had to drive two hours and wander around a boring to them craft fair! It was so worth going though! Then just last weekend we went out to the zoo and state fair and it was pretty good. The boys loved the zoo and the new exhibits are awesome. but then again i just love zoos! at the state fair hubs took the boys down the huge yellow slide, needless to say they LOVED it. Its going to have to be our tradition of going down the slide every year!
Also my brother and wife finally had their baby boy last week! He is such a doll and i'm so glad to be an aunt again. Welcome to the family Gavin and hopefully one of the days we can make it to Virginia and visit and meet him properly!
Then on Saturday me and hubby get to head to vegas for nearly a week for "work" deal for the Mine Expo and i'm so excited.! We leave Saturday and we'll be back the following Thursday! I'm not excited about leaving the boys again but excited to get away and be able to squeeze in a few shows while we are down there. Blue man Group and Penn & Teller here we come!

Walking all over
So Korwin just decided a few days ago that he was done with just walking between mom and dad and is now a true walker. Granted he is still pretty wobbly but he walks everywhere. Im not ready for him to grow out of this baby phase. Then im relieved he's growing out of the baby phase it means he's getting funner and funnier. He is living up to his red hair, he is fiesty, and stubborn and then he has his super cuddly moments which I love since jayden never was and still isn't. But jayden loves playing with his little brother even if Korwin has already figured out how to get him in trouble. Im in for a wild ride that is for sure

Glow in the Dark!
National Finals Rodeo 2011!
We of course did a little gambling and walked away with...ya no winnings :) but we walked up and down the strip several times which we felt the next day. Saw a lot of crazy people and overall just enjoyed the whole experience. We saw the awesome chocolate fountain and seasonal garden in the belagio, we went in the coca cola and m&m factory. They had a huge convention area for the NFR and anything cowboy/western type of stuff was there! The building was HUGE and we basically had to run through in order to see it all . I would highly recommend everyone should go to the NFR at least once. That is if you enjoy rodeos that is.

Cranky
Well Korwin was doing so good the past couple of weeks on his sleeping...i got 7 hours in a row one night. I had forgotten how it felt to get a decent nights sleep. It took a bit of sleep training but we did it! Well then yesterday he had to get his 4 months shots and then was prescribed to have to drink 1 oz of prune juice twice a day, gotta tell ya he is NOT a fan of the prune juice taste but anyways ( i know he's five months old but we somehow got a month behind, did the same thing with jayden, maybe we just like to be fashionable late or something). well his shots actually made him a bit sick this time, nothing major just a bit of a fever and just uncomfortable type pains. Then to top it all of he's getting 2 more teeth on the bottom which will give him 4 teeth. I sorta wish he could of been like other babies and waiting till 9 months or something. I guess on the other side he'll be done a lot quicker.
Well his 5 month stats came at no surprise of being in the 90th percentile. He weighed a whopping 18 lbs 14 oz and 27 inches long. We just grow big kids I guess.
I'm a scatterbrain and haven't the slightest clue where my camera is so yet again no pictures since its a pain in my butt to get them off my phone and im just lazy. Well i guess other super exciting news is that my sister-in-law the sneaky little devil surprised everyone and dropped the bomb that she is going on a mission!!! I haven't a clue how she kept it a secret but I'm so proud of her and excited for her. She's going to the Calgary Canada mission...i know eh!! lol Well she leaves in just a few short weeks to the MTC and its crazy to think we won't see her for 18 months but i think i can speak for the family and say we are so very very proud of her decision to go on a mission. as the hubby says it truly is the most challenging, rewarding, exciting, scary best 2 years (18 months for her) of your life. It'll be sad to see her go, i know Jayden will miss her and Korwin just thinks she's still the crazy aunt that talks funny to him, but when she gets back he'll be almost 2! Crazy!
Another Crazy is we are about to have a 3 year in the house, in just a few short weeks Jayden turns 3 and its so weird to think its snuck up on us so fast this year. I'm excited for him to go into sunbeams in January, i hope his teacher can handle all the crazy kids moving up this year they'll will have their hands full for sure!
Well this was suppose to be a quick update, but i guess it really is since i just scraped the surface of our crazy lives! Well TTFN!!

One Down
::Pretty sure its rougher on the boys than me, they get use to having daddy home at nights and then all the sudden he's home during the day and gone at nights, completely throws them for a loop for several weekends. then they get use it and then its back to days....its a rough month and 1/2 of weird schedule changes.
::At least this time i have Netflix to comfort me at night and a guaranteed at least one night of late night 7-11 nachos. I Always crave 7-11 nachos, besides the hubby loves them as much as I do.
:: I need to find a new tv show to watch, ive caught up Grey's and Bones but i need a new one since they don't have House on Streaming yet.
::It hit me the other day that in just over a month i'm going to have a 3 year-old which means come January i have a Sunbeam!!! I already feel bad for his teacher, gonna be some crazy ones going through next year. Pray for them!
::We found ourselves pretty clever with our Halloween Decorations this year. Once all set up pictures will be shown. Its a Ironically awesomeness. Won't be hard to guess if you think about it. The hubby Loves that he has a cool project and ideas for Halloween though so its all good.
::Jayden is growing like crazy and the past few months is back to putting EVERYTHING in his mouth. Its nasty enough i have one drooling kid but i really didn't want two.
:: Korwin is just over 4 months and still only has two teethe, but anything near them teeth he tries for all his worth to take a chunk out of; from blankets, noses and his own fingers he bites. Yes, he has bitten himself and cried about it and then does it again, he's starting to understand that if i bite myself it indeed does hurt, pretty funny to watch though.
::I'm a bit sad these past few weeks. One of my older brothers is moving. Not just a little bits a way but to Fredicksburg, Virginia. Wife, 4 kids and him will be leaving good ole hot n sunny st. george this weekend and making the long trek to Virginia. I was able to see them last weekend but its still sad, gonna be a long while before we get to see them again. Unless we become rich very quickly....alas i am excited for them to start a new adventure, just wish it wasn't so far away.
:: Down to only 67 days till NFR!! I'm sooooooooooooo very excited. Won't know what to do without the kids for 4 days...oh wait i know!! sleep, sleep and have a blast!!!

Teething
::Hubby left this morning for Mississippi for some more training. Not excited at all, he'll be gone till late Friday night. :( I hate being home alone. I guess my parents will see a lot of me this week! they shouldn't complain i mean they get to see two of the cutest grandkids.
::Jayden is starting to talk alllllllll the time now. Have to be super careful what we let him hear since he repeats EVERYTHING! He loves going to nursery and basically begs all through sacrament to go. A little nervous when he starts as a sunbeam in January and doesn't go to nursery anymore, it'll be interesting..bless those sunbeam teachers because Look out there is some little devils coming your way next year.
::I really should post some pictures but i don't feel like digging out my camera since i'm just that lazy and tired. I shouldn't complain but Korwin still gets up 2 times a night. Like clockwork its every 4 hours, its exhausting. I don't 'remember what its like to have more than 4 hours of sleep at a time. Such is the life i wanted so i shall complain no more!
:: have i mentioned that i love love love having internet at home and being able to have netflix, its been a lifesaver lately.

Very Odd
::its very odd thinking we have internet, having it on our phones i thought was enough and now i can't believe we didn't take the leap and get actual dsl at home before now.
:: i am LOVING having netflix. Already i have watched 4 episodes of Grey's Anatomy. I love that show, not sure why but i do.
:: Jayden loves having netflix since that means endless amounts of Backyardigans and such....we'll be fighting over who gets to watch what i'm afraid
::We recently spoiled ourselves and bought us our early early Christmas presents. We splurged and bought ourselves some tablets, no offense but no stinking Ipad...way cooler Android one...LOVE IT!
::feel a litte guilty buying them but we've been married going on 5 years and this is our first true gifts to ourselves/eachother
::Getting way excited to go to the NFR in december. This will be the Honeymoon we didn't get to have! Stoked. A little nervous/sad leaving the boys with grandparents for 4 days (Jayden is a handful) but it'll be sooo worth the break!
::In a Few weeks the hubby is heading to Mississippi for some more training...not very excited, its a Monday morning to a late Friday night type of week. I'm already overwhelmed at the thought.
:: i really shouldn't complain, i'm rather spoiled be able to have my hubby home every night (execpt scout nights) and for the most part every weekend...but i'm blessed to be spoiled.
:: its 9:30 both boys are asleep so i'm about to do the same....zzzzz night blogland
