White boy dancing moves...The chicken wing move is CLASSIC!

 We are driving home from Lowes with our pumpkin and Chloe says... "It will be my pumpkin and I don't want everyone else to see it because it will be so scary with mean eyes and he'll be scary everyone will jump off the earth!"

 Here is the creation of said scary pumpkin.

Here is the completed project.  My favorite are the eyebrows.  She is obsessed with eyebrows. 

Dri was in a cooking class.  The teacher wrote a book based on the experience.  She has a book party because it is coming out the end of this month. That is a whole other story...Nonirreguadlessly...Dri and I were in Seattle at the Smith Tower and this was the view from the observation deck...AMAZING!  We only had Dri's i-phone and I think it's still a kickin' pic.

Anyway...we are at the party and the author it going off thanking everyone for their part in the book.  She starts reading from her book about how they threw these dinners to make money to support the cooking classes.  At one of the dinners they were serving steaks etc and the Author's friend (also an author) said I just wrote a book about burlesque women and know all the best performers in town.  So, they decide to go for gold.

Well the guess chef came out and was drinking his celebratory glass of wine after cooking the complicated dinner for the evening.  The Burlesque woman comes in and in a hoarse voice says to the chef "do you think you could pass me my fan's on cue and take my dress and things when I'm done?"  Wide eyed the chef agrees.  I think his mouth was hanging open a little too.  He does his part for the evening and that was that.  Well... they decided it was so funny they did it again!!!  There was a Burlesque woman at the opening for a cook book.  Lets say it was a little shocking and very unexpected. Dri was feeling guilty for having me participate.  All I can say is sooo SEATTLE!

That is the Chef with the clothes and the Burlesque woman. 
This is the adult picture but not the finished product for the evening so you are warned...

The final product included two swinging tassels...It's always a party with Dri!

Rex and Chloe on their cool birthday table.


We are driving up to go to the temple and Chloe says "I am going to call Aunt Dri ok?  Aunt Dri, We are going to come to your house.  My Mom and Dad are going to go to a church and get married and you are going to watch us.  Ok?  Bye.  Mom, Dri is going to watch us tonight."

This week we volunteered building the park by the sound. It is turning out cool there is a ribbon cutting on Sunday. 

 If you happy and you know it than your face will surely show it if you're happy and you know it shout...

Hooray! Fun Sunday breakfast!

September 18, 2011 Fair/Baker

 We went to the FAIR!!! 

 Rex loved the animals.

 Chloe and the goats

 Rex chasing the goats

I asked Chloe if she wanted to do anything at the fair,  She said "Yeah, the big yellow bumpy slide!"  There were hand motions involved.

 We went up and hung out with our cousins.  Jonas and Chloe are now BFF's

 Rex liked the weekend because of the black berries.

 We went to a bounce house

  We all had FUN! When we got out in the parking lot there was a black berry bush we helped ourselves to for a snack.

 Mike, Shawn, and Miguel's fun.

Good week but we're all tired

We finished the wall this week!  All the poke-dots are on.  Chloe likes the big one.  In case you were wondering the big one that is not cut off.

Chloe was coloring and there were twist up crayons and crayola crayons.  She hid all the twist up crayons in the other room because they didn't match the rest of the crayons and she didn't want them put away together.

Rex rolling around in his blanket.  He will not let it go.

We had to say good bye to Nana =(

Rex figured out Nana was leaving and wouldn't let her go.  He made her dance.  Do flips.

He didn't want to let her go.

We finally got Dad back this week.

Rex has been picking up stellar habits.

We had our house warming party.  Fondue and friends.  It was so fun especially to meet our neighbors and visit.

The kids did so well sharing and playing with everyone. 

"We don't invite mean people to our house...or dinosaurs.  They're so HUGE and they eat us up!"  Was Chloe's declaration on our way to church.  The spirit is always invited in our family.

It has been a good week and we are all on the final count down to Disney land. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jK-NcRmVcw&ob=av3e  enough said.

Nana has come to visit!

 We made Flubber

 Went to the beach

 Had fun

 Beautiful day.

 Chloé stole all the toys she brought for Rex.

 We went to the zoo

 And saw the walrus

 We went to the beach again

 This beach was dirty and had so many fires the sand was dusty.  It got the kids all dirty.

 We went swimming in the yard. I like the toy to water ratio.

 Rex has been talking soooo much. He said outside.  He plays red light green light and he'll say red light... green light and you can tell what he is saying. He loves Nana and goes and gets her any time he can. Like nursery, it's his first day and we go to get him and he and Chloe run strait to Nana.

 Rex has been stealing shoes

We have had a good week.

 Mike has been in El Paso for work  He went on a huge hike and saw this tower.

And the city. But, mike just cares about the tower.
