Pita Take Two

We went to the Red Star Barn in American Fork!

Pita continued

Pita captured the moment!

Josh is 31!

The boys and I hung a poster on the bathroom door. Josh did not see it so Trent took it in to him!! "Der Josh We love you vare vare much. Love Trent Grant and Blake" Trent did not want me in the picture! They are all wearing Grant's favorite color, blue and Trent's favorite color yellow!!

We put lots of notes in the Maxima for him to find! He ended up taking the truck, but Grant told him to check the Maxima!! Here are some of the notes:

When Josh got home from work we went miniature golfing at the Southtown Mall! It is a glow in the dark place! After that we met Grandma Evelyn at the Olive Garden!

Sweet little frustrated Blake!!

Becker Business

Saturday, November 28 Josh cleaned out the shed and built a big shelf for toys! I wish I had a before picture! It is so awesome now . . . it just makes me happy!! He is so good at building!! The shelf is fantastic and all the tools are hanging . . I love it!!

Making extra room and organizing the shed means . . . the 3rd car garage looks fantastic too!! I am seriously so pleased with this!! Again I wish I had a before picture, there was so much stuff on the floor!! It looks awesome now!!! Once the bed is done the garage will pretty much be empty!!! YEAH!! (mind you the truck goes in there)

Mom "Grant what should we get Auntie Mere for Christmas?" Grant "Maybe a pool or a dog! Remember how dad surprised us with a snowmobile in the garage . . . we should surprise Auntie Mere with a dog in her garage!" (not that a dog isn't funny enough, Meredith lives in El Segundo, CA)

*

We were at Kohl's and they had stuffed animals to go with "Mouse a Cookie" "Moose a Muffin" "Pig a Pancake." Grant said, "Mom can I use my allowance to buy a rat?" I cracked up . . . "You mean a mouse?"

*

Grant has a little wind up frog that he named Pab, short for Pablo. He keeps calling it Pj. It cracks me up because we have always called Paul , pjer, or PJR or just Pj. (combine the letters to say it, not P.J.) So when Grant calls the frog Pj it is so funny to me because that comes natural and he can't remember what he named it!!

*

Blake is 16 months and has the attitude to prove it!! The child is frustrated he can't talk and it is hard!! He is very intense!

Turkey with the Talls

We left for the cabin Wednesday, November 25. I wanted In N Out so bad . . . but I did not want the kids sitting in the car for the hour long wait!! We got Carl's Jr. and hit the road!! The kids were thrilled to arrive . . . Grant opened the gate for us! They could not wait for the Talls to come! The kids had so much fun playing together!


Trent made a candy man with all the candy Dad bought!!

Thursday we cooked and snacked and watched movies! Our boys barely ate anything for Thanksgiving Dinner!

Johnny and Jenny came up later that night! That meant . . . jump off the balcony time - Uncle is here!!

I love this face!

Blake kept signing more!! He loved seeing the kids jump!! I was thrilled he signed more!!

Blake seemed to want a try!

That little face though makes me feel like an abuser!

We all headed home Friday the 27th!!
