Kayaking and the Beach

We have the best dad ever he still takes us to do way fun things even though it now just takes us a little longer to get there. On Saturday he took us down to Corpus Christi to kayak and play at the beach. The boys did awesome on the drive down and back. And it was great weather and tons of fun. We all can't wait to go again. The only crappy part of the whole trip was that after taking about three pictures the camera started to blink at me that the battery was low. So I was sad we didn't get more pictures and the ones we got weren't fabulous because we were just trying to hurry and not use too much battery.

Getting ready to go the boys love there new life vests and never want to take them off.

Isaac was ready to go the second we got there paddle and all.

Out on the water. It was really cool there were fish jumping out of the water everywhere, and lost of big pretty birds. The boys loved it.

We found this blind out in the water and the boys had to check it out. Isaac said that this was his favorite part at dinner that night. The boys were really excited when mom was able to paddle back to get them. Dad was just impressed with her skill.

We made it to the beach. Sam let me lay on the beach and relax for a little while and he took the boys to dig in the sand.

All the boys jumped in the water before the sun was going to down.

thanks dad we had tons of fun!

Isaac and Beckam's room

So we did the boys room back in September and I have been meaning to put pictures up for just as long. But on Sunday night when Beckam who has still been sleeping a crib decided he wanted to use his big boy bed slept in his and Isaac's room it motivated me to actually take some pictures. Sunday night went pretty good. Monday night was pretty bad. Then last night was awesome. He slept in there all night did not make a sound or get up or anything until I could hear him on the monitor this morning making a little noise. I went up to find him just getting some books out to read in his "roof roof" bed. There are dogs on his sheets. Isaac fell asleep in our guest bedroom last night after Sam read him stories in there so Beckam was solo last night. I hope we can repeat the good sleeping even when Isaac is in there too.

Their bed are ones that my dad and his brothers used when they were little and some of my brothers used when they were little too which makes it kinda fun. I was excited when we got to finally put up the national park poster that Isaac got last year for Christmas. Sam made the frames for me, I love how they turned out.

TRICK-OR-TREATING from Houston

We're ready to go TRICK-OR-TREATING!!

...and they're off...

Just back past the house on the way to some more.

Just leaving some ladies house.


The second Isaac got home he pulled out every piece of candy and told me what he had gotten.

Beckam just wanted to eat all of his.

Okay so I have to say this Halloween was well weird. And not just because of the weather. I missed taking the boys to see all there great-grandparents that are in Utah the week of Halloween. I missed trick-or-treating were you open the door and get to see all your cute friends and their kids from your ward. Most of all I missed our families. We always visit both of them on Halloween and take the boys trick-or-treating in the neighborhoods we grew up in so we can show them off. I know a lot of this is my fault I could have tried to plan a more exciting this Halloween. I guess I'll remember that for next year, and make some mental notes for better planning around Christmas this year.

Bottom line we miss you all in Utah!!!
