yee haw ridem cowboy.

This is how bently has been falling asleep lately.
He likes to have something on his face. I think it is super funny but
absolutely adorable.

a KFC picnic...

In the driveway??? I asked brody if he wanted to go to the park and he said "no ride bike" So we went home and had our little picnic in the driveway.
This is Bently's kfc.
this is brody saying "done eating gotta go" What great weather to have a picnic. Hopefully soon we will have grass that we can sit on.

I have been wish tagged...

My five wishes.....

1. Sorry Jessica I am copying, To be free of debt. No hospital bills, car pmt, or anything.

2. Someday move back to logan, or southern Idaho.

3. Have a girl someday. I think that the Brower genes will prohibit this. So far Caprice and I are 0 for 3. :(

4. That no one in my family had to suffer. From sickness or loss. I know what hurts us makes us stronger but it is hard to see the people you love hurt.

5. That gas prices would drop so i could go to Logan every weekend if I wanted. WHEN WILL IT EVER END???

I tag Lin, Caprice, Jena, Shanna, and Aleena.

A what!!!

A day of funfilled riding got interupt by a....

"mom a really really big bug"
So i went over thinking i would find a grasshopper and this is what i found. A huge beetle. About the size of a quarter. Brody was freaking out. Usually he kills everything but this one intimidated him a little i think.

Since he found the beetle he wasn't interested in riding anymore he wanted to see what a beetle saw at his level. so cute. How do you like the hat. Another brody moment.

blake's new toy

So two thursdays ago i get a phone call from blake telling me i need to get online and bid on this tractor on ebay. I said "are you kidding me" he said no but this is the max amount. So i get online and there was twenty minutes left. I made my bid and waited. Twenty minutes over and we are now tractor owners. So that sat blake drove to the middle of no where in AZ and he came home with this tractor. You honestly would of thought that he was a teenager again. He was so excited and I could tell that he wanted to do some business with it. funny kid. I guess there is still that little boy in every guy.

I just wanted to show this picture of my cute bently. He won't be able to wear this hat this winter season so i thought he should model it now.

too cute not to post...

Not even kidding, but this is brody right after waking up from a nap. he wanted to help me make Mac N Cheese. Don't kid yourself i was totally making a fool of myself trying to make him smile. i am proud to say that this is the first smile caught on film. So cute with his little tongue out. You would never believe that he is sick.

A day in the sun.

Today was finally a great day to go play outside. So i told brody to go and get his jacket and he came out with his winter jacket and beanie. ok brody whatever you want.

This three wheeler was a killer deal. I found it at a garage sale when we lived in logan. I got it for one dollar. Brody loves it and so it had to make the trip down to southern utah.

Smile!!!!

Don't make fun of my photography skills.

This is what brody does when we go outside. Our yard is pretty much dirt and rock and these prickly bushes, so brody just digs and digs with this little shovel. I am thankful that there is something that will keep him busy. Today was a great change of scenery. so fun.

look what i found...

I woke up and started to clean. I was cleaning a cookie pan that we used for garlic bread last night, i went to put it away and this is what i found. There was one on every handle in the kitchen. He kills me.

the hat...

So the other day brody found this hat in my closet. If you ask him to put it on he won't but if it was his idea to put it on or if he thinks you aren't looking then he'll wear it. silly kid



Blake had fallen asleep with Bently and when i came into the living room i saw brody slowly put the hat on blake's head. I thought it was so nice that he could share.



I thought this picture was so cute. He is looking off our front porch. Do you like our nice railing? It is only temporary until we can get our black iron one.
PS Brody is still sick and was nice enough to throw up on his bed and not the floor yesterday. And Bently is still hacking and coughing. I am starting to wonder if we are ever going to kick this, please summer hurry up.

what a weekend

Well alot has happened these last few days. My friend, Jennifer (Moore) KRebs had her baby boy, Tayson Steven Krebs. He is beautiful and they are both doing very well. Congratulations to them. Also brody is getting a little bit better. But now Bently has the cough and mucus. Poor thing. I am hoping that it won't be as bad as brody. so far ok. Also I had surgery yesterday. I had my stupid gallbladder removed. After the surgery was over I felt wonderful. I even walked out of the hospital but by the time 5:00 came around i was very sore and starting to feel everything. Thank goodness for my mother in law. She has helped me out so much. To give you an idea, I can barely breastfeed, and barely lean over to pick up bently. It is really hard. I don't know what i would do without her and blake. Anyway I can't wait for it to be a week from now. When everone is healthy and maybe some good weather will be here.

Brody sees the doc...

During this weekend,Brody progressivly got worse. He started having more and more fevers and still coughing like crazy. So Sunday was really bad and i told blake that i was going to take him in to the dr. Blake said that he didn't think brody needed it, but i said we'll see. Brody slept for only 4 hours straight. thats it, he is almost as bad as bently. Well when i woke up I had a gut feeling that i should get brody an appt. with the doc. We went in and Brody was super energetic and jumping around and everything. They really make a big fuss about brody so he had to put a show on for them. Well the verdict is.... He has a double ear infection, and possibly severe allergies or a sinus cold type thing. The coughing is from the mucus. I was so glad that i took him in. Ear aches/infections are the worst. I hope he bounces back soon. poor thing. In other news I am having surgery on Friday. I secretly hoped that after I had bently that my gallbladder would just magically heal. and the following days after bently came actually gave me hope that it would happen. But no.. I have been getting sick and having pain again. They got me right in and thank goodness for my mom #2, I am ready to go get this miserable thing out of me. Sharon is coming down to watch the kids for me. Wish me good luck.

My poor brody.

So this morning Brody started coughing. I thought to myself "here we go" He did ok during the day, but since he has been in bed it's been rough. He has cried out for me twice. I went in to check on him and of course Bently starts to cry too. So i go and get the bouncer and bring bently in, give brody his medicine,force Brody to take a couple sips of his gatorade and start to leave. I said "come and get me if you need me ok." Brody mutters a sad "otay" and as i go to turn out the light he says "IU (which means i love you) see ya tomorrow." That is my little brody. Even though he is sick he still has a little bit of happy in him. I hope this sickness doesn't hang around long and hopefully Bently won't get it. I hate it when my kids get sick. The funniest thing about all this Blake is peacefully asleep in the other room dreaming away. MEN??!!

Get down with my creative side...

While this.....

and this happened....



this happened. I was sick of being in our house and it still feeling like a house. So i decided to paint my bathroom red. I loved it in our old house and so I decided to take one of the first steps to making our house more of our home.

Don't judge my painting skills, I did what i could in 45 minutes time.

Making Cookies!!

So Blake's birthday was on sunday and Brody and I thought it would be fun to make chocolate chip cookies.

Getting ready for the next step.

It may be kind of hard to see but brody has flour all over his face. He was making such a huge mess but having such a fun time. A mess just means that the cookies are going to be goooood.

Here brody stealing chocolate chips. He just kept popping them in his mouth. He is hyper enough, i don't need sugar to add to that. But i used to eat the dough when i was little too, so i let a couple slide.

such a big helper. He was so excited.

watching them cook! Brody made sure that i new when they were done. He would run and yell "cookies cookies done" when the buzzer would go off. It was a very fun day.
ps caprice I am still not laughing about your april fools day joke. :( jk
