Enjoying Every Busy Day

Life is always busy, but there are times that seem extra busy. The past month has been that time for me, although this might just be due to the fact I have been feeling under the weather for about that amount of time. Turns out I had a sinus infection that didn't want to leave. I fear now that it has moved next door to David, but he is much better about fighting illness than I am, so hopefully his time of being under the weather will be short lived.

Despite how we might have been feeling we have tried to keep the boys happy and entertained. I think one reason it took me so long to get better was because I refused to slow down (until the last week or so when I was forced to sleep as much as possible). The good news is that David and I managed to have some fun family memories with our two awesome boys! Below are some pictures from a fun fall event here in Utah County. We took the boys to Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving Point. 

 Yep. That's a pirate ship with a slide!

 We tried to have Tai Jimmer get into the fun as much as possible...

Kai had a lot of gun playing on all of the fun activities available

 Corn Maze time... Where do we go?

 I don't think TJ would make a very good scarecrow, but David is trying :)

 We had a great time!

 This picture was to relive a year ago when we took the same one, Kai wanted to be the horse again, but he liked to look over at the cow.

Besides going fun places we have also managed to just enjoy our every day together. Where ever we are, but usually at home. Following are some pictures of our silly boys at home...

We have also been able to enjoy the fall leaves...

I am amazed all the time how fast my boys are growing. Kai isn't really a toddler, but a little boy. He speaks in really good complete sentences and most of what he says he comes up with on his own. We have learned that we need to watch what we say around him however because he will repeat what he hears. For example "freakin heck" and "crap" have come out of his mouth voluntarily. Kai is also learning there are things mom doesn't like him to say.

Tai Jimmer is just a crazy busy baby. He is crawling everywhere and he is really fast! His favorite place to explore is the bathroom. He loves taking his baths and is always wandering in there when we forget to close the door. He is also pulling himself up and standing while holding onto objects. Some less stable than others and he has quite a collection of bumps and bruises to show for his adventures. He is on the bottle now and he loves to eat. He is really liking more and more solid food and we will see how that goes. Both boys are crazy, frustrating, adorable, lovable, mischievous terrors.

TEETH!

Big boy feeds himself!

Ready to go!

We do spend a lot of time with them, but mom "gets a break" when she goes to work (hahaha) Really, no matter how many times they make us want to pull our hair out, they always know how to tug on out heart strings.
