17 months WOW!

Life has been crazy busy and Ledger is growing up way to fast!!

He finally has decided that toys are fun and will play with them! I thought this day would never come. His favorites are trucks, motorcycles, phones any kind real or toy! He really shocked me when he started playing with his walker toy he got for Christmas it was so so cute he makes motorcycle noises vroommmm vrooomm as he pushes it as fast as he can go around the downstairs.

He no longer has any formula or milk in his bottle. ((Yeah)) The swing is no longer in use! I finally got him going to take naps in his crib and a long one for two hours!! He also sleep in his bed without having the swing rock him to sleep at bedtime, I been reading little books to him before it and he really likes them! Its sad the swing sits there empty but I am happy he is content and in his room where it is more peaceful to sleep and we can make more noise than before without him right there in the swing.

He is a little talker he saying and has started saying new things like...done, gone, down, don't, go, vroom vroom. He also knows how to tell us when he wants juice or treats he begs at the cupboard his cups are in or goes to the fridge here here. Or if he wants treats tries to break into the pantry which is now child locked ha ha! He also tries to climb in his high chair when he is hungry and we don't get the hint he is such a cutie!

Since I mention food and the highchair he has also mastered eating with a fork! We kept giving him baby ones that were plastic and he had the hardest time so I finally gave him a small real fork and within a day he had it down! So cute watching him stab his food and munch away I love it!

He is really smart and learns fast. He loves to watch motorcycles with us and American idol. He is so content with the bikes and his favorite part is when they take off! During idol he spins in circles another new thing Brendan taught him and dances he really Loves music! He is so much fun for us everyday!!
Leonard was tenderizing meat the other night and Ledger was just busy busy watching him hammer the poor meat to death. The next thing we knew he had found a rubber spatula out the cupboard and was on the floor pounding the floor with it just like Dad! It was so dang funny he just cracks us up!!!

He is so mischevious and sneaky you have to keep your eye on him constantly or he will really make a mess!

We just love our little Bubbie!!!

Valentine's Day

Valentines was great this year I had no stress what so ever! I hadn't got the boys anything and Leonard called and said he wanted to get them stuff! Yeah for me I didn't have a clue this year and valentines really isn't my favorite holiday! I was so relieved he wanted to go woohoo for me.

The boys did there valentines and I put them in cute little bags with ribbons for there classmates. They were excited to go and have there parties. I usually do more parties at the school but this year has been so hectic I just did Halloween my favorite.

Leonard surprised us all literally this year and really did a great job spoiling us!!
**Treyton got motocross socks, and gloves, candy
***Brendan...funny story but he begged for a week to buy Halloween II we kept telling him no, no, no! Then he wanted to rent it again no. He was so bummed we wouldn't let him. He pouted we have no clue why this is his new obsession but it is so....
Leonard surprised him with the movie on Valentines he hugged him four times so so happy and has watched four times since. He also got motocross socks!
***Ledger was easy and very happy with a great big heart balloon and sock monkey! He plays with that balloon for hours and wrestles it on the ground it is so funny he is such a wild, tuff, ((boy)))!! We love to watch the things he does.
**I also got very spoiled and he totally surprised me chocolates, and a new PINK phone!!! I love love love it! I can go on Internet now and facebook right from my new touch screen phone. It was a million times better than flowers. I am the happiest lady ever!!!

Leonard also got a Sirius satellite radio from me and he got a new phone also, but he loves his radio a lot more I think than his phone! He is not big into technology things.

Happy VaLeNtInE's Day 2010!!

Month for Treat's

It has always been a tradition in my family on every holiday ex specially Halloween and Valentine's day to make sugar cookies! I loved to make them as a kid and had so much fun decorating them. In the past year I have slacked off and felt guilty with being to busy... I have not kept up. So I decided I was taking time out of my day no matter what and on the day before Valentine's day this year we made them! Treyton joined in and out did me his are the cutest and most creative cookies ever I love love them he is very talented. Brendan has now decided he is too old to participate in cooking making it was kinda sad but I understand hes growing up. Still sad though!

Every year grandma Dolores sends the boys a large chocolate heart! It was so cute this year with all there names. I got them all by it for a picture so I can send to her in Arizona. Plus I wanted a picture before it was demolished!

We never eat it all but the kids love it and know every year it is coming, its one of there favorite things at Valentine's!

Super Bowl!

So I am not a football fan and to be honest never watch it! This year a friend inspired me to start team towels and so I started out with Broncos and the Chicago bulls! Plus many..many more. Then it lead to the Green bay packers for a new friend in Rock Springs!
The team did so well they ended up at super bowl this year against the Steelers.. she couldn't have been more happy! Her favorite team for years!
I watch the super bowl every year for the commercials and half time! I can't help it! But this year I rooted on my friends team the Packers! It was a great game and very close I loved it! I think I just found something new to watch on TV ha ha!! Go Pack! Go!!!!
Great super bowl game! Green bay won!!
These are Maria's towels!

Crazy hair/ Pig out?

Today was Crazy hair day at school for the boys! They do this every year where the kids have Pig out! Which is reading,reading,....reading! Plus the part they (love) dress up days like Pajama day, twin, cowboy and favorite team. They really enjoy going and seeing everyone else done up, it really makes the reading to them the only fun part!

I read so much as a kid I couldn't keep the library fresh with new books. I still love to read and find it sad that my kids despise it so much! It makes me guilty like I did something wrong as a parent. So I started reading to Ledger the best thing I can do for him! I can hope right. We are working on the others and I am hoping eventually one will become a reader like me!

The schools to me push kids to read to early these days, and takes away the joy out of reading for fun. I really wish they didn't have so much pressure sometimes.
I am really pushing and hoping they will learn to read it is my new goal to accomplish!

Here they are going to school! Brendan had half green, orange and just plain messy hair!
Treyton did his Mohawk and wanted it sprayed red, then one side green and the other orange!
Darling they were so excited to go today I love days like this!


Here is them last year I never got around to posting so I wanted to add it here! They have changed so much in just a year!

CheeseCake Factory!

I love to eat out and try different places, all thanks to Leonard who always had to drag me into restaurants to try things that I just knew I wouldn't like! Boy was I way(WRONG)!!! I have always been a picky eater and little by little he is changing that. So now I am pretty good about trying things and have gone to many different places and it really makes eating out so much more exciting!

My all time favorite desert is cheesecake! It is literally to die for...better than chocolate.... and absolute heaven on my list! Something about it just makes you feel so much better to me there is know other desert better than it!

I worked at Little America and to this day they have the best cheesecake!! Ever! Every once in awhile my sweet Leonard will stop and get me a piece on his way home from work for a surprise! I love it more than anything so sweet!!

So I have wanted to eat at the Cheesecake factory for quite a few years LOL crazy huh what took me so long! Its in Salt Lake and we usually go to Ogden, and the one other time we went to try it the line was so long and the boys were starving that I caved and left!

But finally yesterday day out shopping with Mom I made a plan we were going there and waiting in line no matter what! She was all for it and excited we went and shockingly there was no line and we got in right away its beautiful in there, the menu is a manual or book full of delicious food with tons to choose from and it was so yummy! We had Avocado egg rolls, bread, fancy chicken Parmesan, and Reese's Pieces cheesecake! I have to admit the cake was not my favorite, but I am going back for my birthday and having the traditional best piece of cheesecake ever I hope!!!

Mom, me and Ledger had fun going from fabric stores to craft stores all day! We even found a knew one to hit that we had never been to before~! With tons of fabric to choose from and loads of patterns very great find!!
I loaded up on towels, buttons, and she got materials to make her Leprechaun's. That are going to be the cutest yet I just know it! I will post him when I get mine!
It was a great day and I Love the cheesecake factory it is without a doubt going to have a run and coin toss now with my all time favorite Pf Chang's!
I can't wait for my birthday!!!

Fifteen and 16 months!

So with December being crazy hectic I didn't get to blog about Ledger's fifteenth month so I decided I better soon!
***Ledger is such a busy busy little guy we don't know where he gets all the energy from! I swear we have hit the terrible two's aka already and up until this day I never would have believed that they existed! My other boys never did the things he does!
He is our wild child without a question!
He is really smart and already lets us know things he wants in his own way! His sippy cups are in the bottom cupboard which is now child locked...but he still goes to it and yanks here here when he is thirsty or wants a drink its really cute! He loves to go bye bye and when we ask him if he wants to go he runs to the door and grabs his shoes and brings them to you. Then he will go back and get yours and coats if you take longer than he likes. It is so fun to ask him to go he gets so excited I love it!!!
So here are his favorite things to do anymore!
Walk or run away fast with toothbrushes, paste, lotion whatever he knows he can't have he is all for it and runs with it when you say no and have to chase him down to get it back giggling all the way he thinks it is such a fun game! Grrr not mom!

He thinks that the mops and vacuums are the neatest things in the world! I finally got my wish a maid ha ha ha!! But even though he don't clean allot he sure is fun to watch try we get a kick out of it!

He also loves dog food yup I guess I really am the worlds worst cook if he prefers to stuff his mouth full of it every chance he gets! It is now always on top the dryer but he sneaks a few when he thinks your not watching!
YUCK! YUCK! I am sure we all tried cat food or dog aka sand in our lives!

Well your probably guessing whats next right?? Well we had to lock the garbage can up also in the laundry room. Another wonderful yummy thing he just won't stay out of!

So goes my days!

He loves to hang with the boys all of them! He sits on the couch and steals there remotes, hats, and goodies laughing all the time! He is starting to also enjoy watching TV we can get him to settle down for a good thirty minutes its a miracle!

He has also learned to say a few more words! No...Shut..UP...not to proud of that one but what can you do! He says Brendan, box and (ath) for Bath!

He loves loves bath time and lays his body out till he is just floating on his back looking at the ceiling content as can be! Its probably one of his favorite times of the day! Its really cute how much he loves the Water! Reminds me of that Brad Prasley song (Water) it is so CUTE!

We are working on teaching him his eyes, nose, etc... he knows where mine are just not his yet! He has also graduated from his baby swing to his crib for naps and bed! It is so nice to lay him down and have him take a nap for two hours in the day! He would only take about 30 in the swing so I really think he is happier and so are we!

So here we are close to starting seventeen months! I want him to stay this age forever! He is so cute learning new things and talking! He is without a doubt are cute little MoNsTeR!!!!
