Big five

He's five, my baby boy is 5!

He wanted to have a Wall.e party and so what better thing to do then watch the move... no work in that, right?  Well funny thing is- They didn't even watch Wall.e I did a switcharew and watched How to Train A Dragon, I think Wall.e is boaring and we hadn't seen How to Train A Dragon so there you have it. And it was great!!

They had Pizza and bread stick's then popcorn and after the movie we did the cake and ice cream. 

And this is what you get when you ask another little kid to take your picture!!
They only get the person they care about in it. 

So I made someone else take a picture and Ethan wouldn't smile... 
I don't really know what he is doing!


He was done with the pictures, And I only wanted a good one of us... didn't get one..
His friends and cousins 

Ethan has been on a Wall.e kick this year, hence our Halloween costume 
which we left in Preston, if I would have known he wanted a Wall.e b-day I would have brought it home... And one other thing.. Took it to P-town for Halloween and he didnt even wear it! 

Anyways...

This time he wanted Wall.e in his box with just his eye's peering out.. I added the wheels with the extra cake..

The Favors were rice crispy treats with a letter E on them for Ethan or Wall.e. And yes that is what I did for Sadie's Party I had extra.. And had to think fast. 

We had a great time and his friends were so nice, he got exactly what he wanted.. Lego's and that is what he has been playing with the every day since. (And his dad has been playing with every day since.)

Mitchell at 2 months

 Mitchell has been so fun, I cant believe its been 2 months already! Ethan and Sadie both still love him so much and cant keep away from him.
 He loves the water
He now smiles all the time, he smiles then pulls out his bottom lip and looks like he will start to cry on the dime... then back to a smile.. He's a keeper..

And I thought I would be calling him Mitch but I don't, I love Mitchell- so if you were wondering or even care.. He's Mitchell or Mitchell Snichell

And yes.. he is almost 3 months but I had to get this up before then..

Brothers

Ethan in the picture and Mitchell with the cute smile. They do look alike hu! But Ethan has him some cute dimple.  Which we still don't know where he got!  


Just heard Ethan ask Erik what it feels like to be a dad... And Erik said well pretty awesome, I don't think I'm the best dad though... and Ethan said- You are the bestest dad I ever had!

Sadie's Minnie Mouse Clubhouse Birthday Party!!


Sadie chose Mickey Mouse Clubhouse birthday party for her party after I found it off my cousins blog..But I turned it into Minnie mouse clubhouse.

We made invitations that looked like the Minnie Mouse ears:
Picture to come.. 

After everyone arrived, I asked all of them if they have ever seen the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse shows. I then asked, "What do you say when you want the clubhouse to appear?" Everyone yelled: Meeska Mooska Mickey Mouse! I then played the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse music...."It's the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, come inside it's fun inside....."


I told them that we were going to have toodles come and help us with Sadie's birthday party. So everyone yelled: "Oh toodles!"

Each picture represented a game that we were going to play. The first mouseketool that was picked was: HOT DUCK. We passed Donald around the circle. while "Hot dog, Hot dog, hot diggity dog was playing... If I would have had a pluto it would have worked better... but it was like: (hot potato)

The next mouseketool picked was: PLUTO. Pluto represented Pluto, Pluto, Ruff:  (duck,duck, goose)

MICKEY MOUSE was the next mouseketool. Mickey represented musical ears. There were Mickey pictures on the ground with pictures of: Minnie, Mickey, Goofy, Pluto, Donald, Daisy, Chip & Dale, and Toodles. We played music and when the music stopped everyone picked an ear to stand by.

The next mouseketool picked was: MINNIE MOUSE. Minnie represented pin the bow on Minnie.

 Each child got a chance to see how close they could get it right on Minnie.



There was one more moseketool and it was the mystery mouseketool. We took off the ? and we saw Mickey Mouse holding a present. 

It was time for Sadie to open her presents!



WOW, she was spoiled! She was given tons of stuff! Thank you to all her friends!! They definitely know what she likes!

After presents, I told them that we had a picture puzzle to put together. We sang, "Picture Puzzle, Picture Puzzle, picture this." (I know we watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse WAY to much!)

I told the kids that his meant it was time for cake (really cupcakes) and ice cream. And cheetos because thats what mice eat?? hee, hee Im so funny!



I had them color there blow things.. note to self.. blow things bad idea.. they would blow them right in your face and there spit would come out with it! 

After everyone was done with their treats, it was time to go home. Sadie gave everyone a minnie, or micky mouse crispy treat we dipped the ears in chocolate and the girls got pink tootse rolls as bows, with a real bow they could wear in there hair, and the boys got a card game!



Thanks for stopping by! Sadie

Oh has anyone made those tissue flouting thing?? There fun to make and cute deco... didn't really take a good picture of this one, I made two.
I just loved all there smiles!! And I did love these balloons I got at sixstar in Logan

a update to our travels

Well we made it home.

Erik met with two doctors in Boise one we loved one not so much!

We get to Preston Erik is feeling sick so he is in bed all Saturday and I am nice enough to leave the older kids with him and gram,  and head to a Football game with my sister in law (hadn't been to one since HS I think) Fun see old friends!!

Saturday I pay to have Erik ride the Logan shuttle so I don't have to waste time driving to SLC, At this point Becky is getting over the one day flu.. but we are hoping she will feel up to going out to do some trick or treating,

Sunday we are all feeling kinda sick so we stay home.. (at grammy's Becky's living with my parents while her house is getting built)

Monday have planed to go to a concert thing with just the girls... and I get the flu...

Tuesday feeling better but that night Ethan woke up not breathing well, me scared called Erik at 2 in the morn. he has a bad croppy cough...

Wends. Erik fly's from Denver after seeing like 14 doctors and 7 would let him for in there offices and is off to AZ

Thursday I say enough and Becky and I spend all day in Logan shopping dragging my sick kids...

Friday Sadie wakes up not breathing well... same story... That night my dad came to Brandons and we had Thanksgiving dinner with him... Fun but that night I cant sleep because I cant breath very well, and worried all night Mitchell was going to get this croppy cough..

Saturday comes. Sadie LOCKS my keys in my car, Luckily its Preston, What else do cops do there but help people like me..... Thank you for saving me 45 bones!!

I go get Erik who left his phone charger in Denver and now is using my phone just in cause any of these DOC. call..

He tells me about AZ, how much I will love it, he loves this Doc down there, and has now said its between Boise and AZ.. So we have lots of praying to do..

But the story doesnt end. Because I have sick kids I didnt want to go stay with my friend, so we left Sunday morn. No we made it home safe, I know you were thinking I was going to say we got a flat tire or something but we did make it home safe, we went and drove around Boise.... Eagle area.. But it was raining... and that is one thing I'm trying to get away from.. heehee no it was nice!!

But today monday. I wake up and Erik has left with my phone, the cords to the computer (which is dead from the trip) and the car... So I had one of those days... I felt very trapped in my basement.

But it is NOV. and I am very grateful! Erik went shopping on his way home, we have milk now! And we now have two places where we could live and he feels like we don't have to keep looking! I am grateful for the colors I see out my window!! I love this time of year! And greatful for such an amazing family that I got to be will for a week, they took great care of me while I was sick and I miss them all so much!
