Mom Questions

Alfy has separation anxiety.

This is where he hangs out whenever I cook.

It makes him pretty happy and honestly sometimes I forget He is there.

*editor's note: this is one of the rare moments homeboy isn't wailing at the top of his lungs because his mom isn't holding him. It was probably taken two seconds after he was put down. He doesn't last much longer than that. - Jones

Anyways, I had some mom questions and thought I would address them here.

1: Halloween costumes. I had been planning on having our family go as the gang from Speed Racer for Halloween, but, sometimes, when I let myself think about it, I wonder if I should let O. pick something that she would like, like a princess, or a butterfly. Also, I know she is only two, and she probably will not care if she is Speed Racer's monkey, but, eh. Just makes me wonder.

2: On a similar note, once I have enough monies, I want to buy C. some yellow corduroy shoes from Tom's. I have thought about it more than once, and realized he would probably like the red ones, since red is his favorite color. He tells me this pretty much every day, but I want him to have the yellow ones. I'm shallow like that :)

Both of these things don't really matter - they're small things in the long run. But, they are also parts of my children's personalities that I appreciate. What are your thoughts?

Great day Wednesday

Yesterday was a great day.

We went out to a pumpkin patch, smelled smelly animals, bounced in bouncy houses and went in a corn maze until we found the special beans that we could exchange for candy. My cousin and his family joined us and the weather was perfect.

Then after we filled our bellies with pumpkin pie blizzards

we headed to the mountains and rode the Sundance ski lift full moon ride.

It was freezing and gorgeous and I was just happy to have spent the day surrounded by my favorite people.

C couldn't stop talking. He loved it, and keeps asking when we can do it again. The answer, next year and every year cause it was wonderful ( a little scary at first but then wonderful)

Sway with me Collection/Working on my shop

I have been working on getting my shop all set up and taking pictures of my Sway with me collection.

It has been really fun seeing my hard work come together. I can actually say I am proud of what I have done and am only the tiniest bit awkward about showing my stuff to the public.

Anyways check it out. :)

Cougar in the making

We live very close to BYU. Often when we go anywhere, driving or walking we pass the school, or more specifically the football stadium. It shouldn't have come as a surprise to me then when C decided he really wanted to go to a game. This week he reminded me almost everyday. When it snowed he looked out the window and said wow, and then looked directly at me and said "I still want to go to the football game."
Unfortunately for us tickets are quite out of our price range, fortunately my sister is awesome and gave us 4 tickets for tonight's game, so Jones, C and I all went with my other sister, Kid Curry, and had a blast! it was cold and late but the Cougars were awesome and played well for us. We sang the fight song as loud as we could. I love watching C as he experiences all of these things. I like hearing him say he is going to go to BYU when he is older...after his mission to New York of course. He packed a suitcase once and told me he was all ready for us to go on a mission together. That kid makes me smile.
