Thankful

It seems that these late hours of the night are the ones that I am most thankful for what my Heavenly father has given, I have time to sit in quiet (a rarity in this house) and think....

I am thankful for a wonderful husband who drives me equally insane with passion and love as he does flat out insane! I would not trade a day with him for one-without. I feel like he is the best partner I could have ever hoped for, Aric puts on a great game face to navigate this crazy life we call ours! Together we have a very blessed life, full of family and friends, a beautiful home, the gospel, and our 2 wonderful boys.

I would not be a mother without my two monsters. They are truly my morning and my night. Without them my world would not turn. I love everyday that I am given to watch them learn and grow, and sometimes I like to think that I have had something to do with their greatness! I am living my dream, I will not lie about that. I have wanted nothing more than to be a Mom, and manage home and family. Yes, some days are hard, and sometimes I don't sleep ( due to reading twilight....) and yes sometimes there is poop on my floor (today...) but Clayton's big eyes and Dylan's cheesy grin make it all worth it.

I am so blessed!

Clay came up with this on his own: He was wearing his new bathrobe around this morning and asked for a santa hat, and he had been wearing the lights around last night... he put the white lights around his neck to look like santa's beard!

Trick or Treat

Clayton and Dylan of course were adorable trick or treating, we only made it down one street because they were so in love with the decorations and the other kids, and holding onto each piece of candy in their hands, not buckets! We even stopped in the middle of the road to play with a very friendly feline! My Dad and step Mom, and sister joined us for the trek!
Funny side note: Clayton barfed when we got home because we thought that he had eaten too much candy, but come to find out after a trip to the ER we took later in the weekend, Clayton has some gastro-intestinal problems to sort out. (nothing serious just tummy aches for awhile for the poor kid!)

I have to tell you, that we have had the chance to do so much Halloween stuff this year it has been great. I have definitely gotten my $20 out of Clayton's costume and luckily Dylan was ecstatic to wear either of Clayton's previous costumes!
Colby and Carter came over for a play date the Wed. before halloween and we decorated cookies and let the boys play play play! We found out about this great thing that they do in down town Camas called the BOO BASH. They do it every year and it is from door to door in the shops... Anyways, we decided last minute to catch up with another friend and her boys, down town. So of course we didn't plan ahead enough to have Lyndsey bring costumes for her boys, or one for Beck who I had that day as well. So Colby and Clayton shared clay's pirate costume, Beck wore Clay's jean jacket and cowboy hat, Carter wanted to have nothing to do with Clayton's 2nd Halloween Dino costume, but Dylan fell in love with it so much that he was ok with Carter wearing nemo. So we pulled it together last minute and had a blast!

Halloween has come and gone
