I had sooo much fun taking these pictures of the boys. I haven't taken any real fun photos for awhile. We had my parents and the Tuia's over for some fabulous homemade Sloppy Joes-yes I actually made them and they were tasty. Then we packed up the boys and did some trick or treating. But I have to say I think Carson gets more excited about it than Noah does.

Church & Kids Do Not Mix

You could pretty much call us inactive. For the last three weeks Church has become a 3 ring circus. Both Madden & Noah are awful during sacrament. Last week I had had it after sacrament and just left. This week I really didn't want to go, but the boys woke up in time so I figured this was the Lord's way of telling me we needed to go.

Well the outcome wasn't much different this week. As we pull into the parking lot Noah starts saying "No, No, No" I try telling myself it will be okay once we get in there and bribe him with all the snacks and treats we have in the bag.

Within 10 minutes of going into the chapel Noah was running around up in the front and began screaming once Carson brought him back to our bench so Carson gets up and takes him out. Well less than a minute after that, Madden starts arching his back and screaming as well. So with Madden in one arm, I try gathering up all the toys and binky which had rolled to the bench in front of us. Of course we had sat in the front of the chapel so I have to make the long walk in front of the entire congregation to get out.

We sit the rest of the time in the foyer and amazingly enough the boys are both pretty good for the last 15 minutes-what's the deal with the chapel? But now it is time for Nursery. Noah doesn't do Nursery. He is already crying before he even gets in there. Carson always goes in with him but within 10 minutes I hear Noah crying in the hall and sure enough he was having a melt down even even with Carson in there. So what's the point of wrestling with two kids for two more hours?

I wish Noah would get over this Nursery thing. It's been over a year and he just won't go. With us being in a new ward it would be nice to be able to get to meet some people but it looks like that is no going to happen anytime soon. If anyone has any advice I'm all ears!

BreaKfast of ChamPions

Noah woke up this morning, opened up the pantry and decided he wanted "Cheese, Cheese" for breakfast. What's the point of arguing at 8:00 in the morning? He enjoyed it so that's all that really matters.

Sweater Weather

We went out to the Blackisland Farm yesterday with the boys. Noah loved it. They had farm animals which Noah had a great time feeding. Even Madden was getting really excited when he saw the animals too.

They also had a HuGe slide that Noah wanted me to take him down. I was scared to go down when I got to the top and looked down to see how steep it was. It took me a few minutes up at the top to get the courage to go down. I'm afraid of heights, what can I say?
We went on a little "train" made out of those 55 water barrels. They were attached to the tractor that pulled them around in. Noah was in 7th heaven thinking that he was riding in a real choo choo. Carson even managed to cram all 6'2 of him inside of one too.

It ended up getting really cold after the train ride so I took Madden to the car while Car took Noah on the hayride. Crazy as they were, it was worth it as they got to pick out pumpkins from their pumpkin patch.

Weekend in Alpine

Carson had his annual Mt. Nebo bike ride last weekend. His Dad put together the ride and they've been doing it for the last ten years. Luckily I was able to skip that and go out with my sister-in-laws whom I don't get to see too often. We went to IKEA and spent about 3 1/2 hours shopping. The boys were so good-to my amazement!

After the ride most everyone comes back to my in-laws house in Alpine to have dinner. I am sorry to say I didn't get the picture of the 30-40 bikes that went but here are a few of the bikes in the family.
