Just like Mommy!

At the Children's Museum, they have a pretend grocery store that has a little sandwich shop in it. Of course the boys first played with the cars, trucks, blocks then finally came into the store with me. I thought it was funny to see how they made their sandwiches with no prodding from us.
They both grabbed the white bread (They will only eat wheat bread as toast).
Trey placed probably 15 slices of cheese on the top of both slices of bread and said he was done, he had made himself a grilled cheese sandwich - which is one of the three things he'll volunteer to eat now. Caden made his double decker sandwich very carefully, making sure to put at least 2 of everything on it. Then, being the silly kid he is, wanted to 'try to eat' this huge sandwich for the picture!
What cute little 'Sandwich Artists'!
Totally reminded me of the good old days working at Subway, which for those of you who don't know, is where I first met Cody!

Pioneer Day

On the 24th, we had planned on going to the Parade in Salt Lake but I had made a mistake on the starting time and we completely missed the whole thing - bummer!!! Instead we went to the Children's museum then let the boys play in the water at Gateway. We had SO much fun!

News Anchors Trey and Caden

Running around in the fountain

Quite the photographer!

We have an old digital camera that we let the boys use and most of the time, their pictures turn out better than ours! These were taken by Caden yesterday. He says he wants to be a landscaper when he grows up but I think he should consider a different career path!

Caden Boy

Caden is 6 years old now! His favorite activities are riding his bike, mowing the lawn, vacuuming, playing with friends, drawing or creating something - He hates to throw anything away that can be made into something else. He is such a good big brother to Trey and Michael, watching, teaching or helping them without complaining too much! He's very considerate which makes him a great friend and so he's always running around with the neighbors. Caden has lost 5 teeth, loosing 3 right in a row (as you can see in the picture). Eating has become more of a challenge for him :) He just started piano a couple of months ago and although it's very hard to get him to sit down and practice, he is doing so well and loves to perform his recital songs over and over! He will start kindergarten in August at the North Davis Prep Academy and is getting excited. I, however, am going to miss him and all the help he is to me and the boys.

Treyster

Trey just turned 3! He definitely is a strong willed kid - He doesn't put up with people messing with him at all. He has 2 volumes loud & louder. On the other hand, he has the most infectious smile and loves to play with everyone, no matter their age. He finds new friends within seconds of going somewhere new, routinely saying 'Hi guys, I Trey'. It's adorable. His new thing is, he stutters a bit and he knows it, so to try to stop he'll hold his chin when it happens. I just want to hug him when he does that! If we ask him to do something, he'll say 'Mom, don't yell at me', in the saddest little voice. Another way to tug our heart strings, he'll say 'don't laugh at me, that's not funny'. You just feel horrible for laughing! For no reason, he'll come up to me and say 'I love you Honey'. He'll see me making food and he'll tell me 'you need to be careful' or 'don't hurt yourself'. He'll also tattle on Caden saying 'you use yours spoon' or 'sit on yours chair' or our favorite is 'yous a bad boy!' 'Member one day....' is how he starts most of his sentences. Even though he tells us not to, he constantly makes us laugh!

Mr. Michael Moo

As much as I tried to stop it, Michael is crawling! He LOVES to play with his older brothers and this way he no longer can be left behind! Although he does prefer to be held and usually chooses Mommy. Michael is now 9 months old and a 20 ponder, which seems tiny in our family (do you remember the size of Caden's thighs?!?) He has 8 teeth and thinks it's so funny to bite, but still will not put anything in his mouth (toys, binki, bottle, spoons, food, drink). How is he eating, you ask? Me, every 3 hours, 24 hours a day since the day he was born... so PLEASE, if you have any suggestions, let me know! He's jabbers like crazy: Ma, Da, Ba, Dis & Dat and yells if he knows it will echo - No more sneaking into church late! He can click his tounge, give kisses, squint and makes the cutest gopher face ever!

We're here!

Finally, after 6 months of setting up my account, I am posting my first blog! Yeay me!
I read my friends' amazing blogs with beautiful pictures, wonderful accounts of different occasions, cute backgrounds and fonts... I can't promise anything close to yours (you know who you are!) but I will at least TRY to keep an update of our family!
