He's the Man!

Because I am new at the blogging thing, I have a post that I should have posted during the summer, but I didn't have a blog back then ...so here it is:

A couple of sis-in-laws were running the the 5K this summer for South Weber Days and I, (being the pushy wife I am), signed Trevor up to run too! He agreed as long as I bought him some new running shoes...so the night before the race we bought him some new SWEET shoes! I know...buying new shoes the day before the race is not a good idea, but you should have seen his old ones....

I am so proud of him. He didn't even train or practice at all! He does play basketball regularly so he is somewhat in shape. Here is a video of Trevor and Jaime crossing the finish line. Yeah!!

My goal next year is to be able to run it with him:)

So Behind

I feel so behind on my blogging. I have so much to blog about all in one...so here we go.


Every year we try to make it to the pumpkin patch. We made it early this year and the kids loved it. They played on the toys and then we rode the hayride to the pumpkin field where we all got to pick out a pumpkin and take it home. The only bad part was I wore my flipflops and my feet got covered in sticker weeds.

Another fun thing we did was go to the circus! I love the circus. We had a blast. Paige got a little restless toward the end, but Maxwell couldn't control his excitement. He waited the whole show for the tigers to come out. When it was finally time for the tigers to perform, Max stood up and said, " I'm going down there...I'll be back mom." He's a nut.

Ok....one last thing on my list of 'items to blog about'. ....For a couple of weeks now, Trevor has been telling me that he has a suprise for me and the kids. He keeps telling me that the suprise isn't ready yet, but that it should be soon. So....finally on friday night Trevor said, "The Suprise is Ready!" I was so excited. I love suprises, but it drives me crazy becuase I just can't WAIT! So he drove us to a house in Layton and sitting on the front porch is one of his friends that he works with. Sitting next to her...there is a box with little blanket over it......and I knew it! He got us a little kitty!!! Trevor had the little kitty picked out for a couple of weeks and had been checking on him until he was ready to leave his mom. So we got in the car and asked Max what we should name him....he decided on Dr. Banner. For those of you who don't have a child obsessed with The Incredible Hulk, Dr. Banner is the person's name before he turns into the Hulk. Dr. Banner is soooo cute and the kids LOVE him. But I think Dr. Banner loves me the most!

Chuck-E-Cheese

Last weekend we were invited by one of Trevor's friends to Chuck-E-Cheese to celebrate a birthday. We told Max that we had a suprise for him and we didn't tell him where we were going. When we pulled in the parking lot he screamed, "Chuck-E-Cheese!" We couldn't believe that he knew about Chuck-E-Cheese! This is the first time that we had gone there so he must have learned about it from a commercial or something. Weird.

Anyway, I remember Chuck-E-Cheese being a lot more fun when I was a little girl. I used to love the animontronic heads that came to life and sang awesome songs. Well, it is not that fun now. There were WAY too many people there and the only entertainment was arcade games. I guess the kids did have fun. Although in the first picture it looks like Paige is a little frightened by the big mouse. Maybe I'm just old.

Butter to the Rescue!

So...I posted my post about crazy Paige 1 day too early.....The very next day I went into her room and found her sleeping with one leg through the slats on the front of her bed. I thought is was funny at first and proceeded to take a picture. Much to my dismay, when I tried to wake her up, her leg was wedged sooo tight that I couldn't get it out. She started screaming and crying. I felt so awful. I ran to the refridgerator and grabbed a stick of butter. I greased her up really good and I STILL couldn't get her out. I called Trevor and he said, "Well get her out..." Duh...I was trying. So I hung up the phone and greased her up again and then spun her around sideways and I finally got her out. What a crazy girl! Here are some pictures of what her leg looked like after I got her out. She was pretty mad....as you can tell.

Crazy Paige

Paige is so crazy when she sleeps! Since we have changed her crib into a toddler bed she has gotten even crazier. She rolls out of bed and then falls asleep in various places. I have even been putting a body pillow next to her in bed but she pushes it out of the way and rolls right over it. The other day I went in her bedroom and she was nowhere to be found. I ran to get Trevor and we looked all over the place. We finally found her sleeping UNDER her bed!

FUN AT THE PARK

On Saturday we went on a little outing to the Tracy Aviary and to Liberty Park. I have loved Liberty Park since I was a little girl...and I still do! We had such a good time. We packed a lunch and let the kids ride a couple of the rides. Max and Paige both love to ride rides.

On our way home we thought it would be fun to stop by Cummings Chocolates to buy some chocolate-covered strawberries and raspberries. That was until we found out that a dozen strawberries is $25.00!! And a dozen raspberries is $35.00!!! Isn't that crazy? Anyway, we decided to make some ourselves. They were pretty tasty.

Best Friends

Trevor and I always say, "Look how much they love each other!" Maxwell and Paige have so much fun together. They will play in Max's room for hours. We peek in and they are playing so cute together and laughing hysterically at each other.

This morning Max helped Paige into the car while I was getting my things ready to go. I looked out into the car and Paige had climbed over into Max's seat and was laughing so hard. She is such a tease. Max thought it was pretty funny too!I hope they will always be this close and love each other this much.
