Fangless


This is what Charity's hair used to look like. Notice the hair on the sides is as inch or two longer than the hair in the back. I didn't want to cut her hair but it just looked so funny that I finally gave in.


This is her new hair cut. Can you believe that she got her first hair cut at a younger age than Brennden did!

This Week

This week everyone has been sick except for Brennden. First Charity got sick, then I got sick, then Dustin got sick. We are all still feeling it and hope to get over it soon. I don't know how Brennden happened to get out of this one but I sure am glad. One sick kid to handle while being sick yourself is bad enough. And we had to get sick on the worst week. There are primary meetings, Enrichment night, and Zone meeting/dinner. I hope we are all better by that time. But we do seem to be on the upside of the illness. Thanks to my neighbor who took Brennden to the library and the car wash so that I could get some much needed sleep.

I'm so proud of myself! I've actually been dusting this week. It was so gross. I had to dust multipul times. I would dust, then the dust that went up into the air and came back down to settle, then I would have to dust again. But as for vacumming.... I've been doing just fine in the living room and hall way, but the bedrooms are a different story. All well.

Brennden is finally potty trained! A day I was starting to think would never come. He's been full of all sorts of sayings lately. He repeats almost everything he hears. We have to have him leave the room if we want to watch tv because, lets face it, some words just sound so terrible coming out of a kids mouth even if they aren't bad words. He must have seen a commercial for pizza last night because he asked if we could leave and get pizza.

Charity definitly has a personallity of her own. If you take something away from her she throws a fit. She wants to stand all day long. She tries to crawl but her arms just aren't strong enough. She gets her legs up underneath her and then face plants it. As for sitting. She doesn't really care to try. I guess she'll do it when she's ready. I hope she does within the next month so I don't have to hold her to play with her toys.

Fort Farnsworth


With all the world events going on, namely Obama being elected Americas next domestic terrorist, excuse me President we decided to get a few more guns just to ensure we had some when he makes it illegal to buy anymore.

Sayings

Brennden hurt his foot jumping off of a chair today. I told him, "Well stop being a silly butt and hurting yourself today." His reply, " I'm a crazy butt mom."

The other day I was calling Brennden a booger and he was calling me a booger back. I turned and asked Dustin, "Is Brennden a booger?" He answered, "Yes." I asked, "Am I a booger?" He answered, "No." Brennden's reply, "Dad, you're no fun."

I've been hearing lots of new saying since being in primary.
You're crying because boys are stronger than girls. -from a boy obviously.
No, you're crying because your hearts leaking. - from a girl.

Snow!


It snowed yesterday! I couldn't believe it. We went for 6o something last week to forty something this week. It didn't stay around for long but it was fun to watch. I love the way snow looks but I hate having to drive in it. But I guess I'll just have to suck it up and deal with it.

Trampoline






The day after Halloween Cameron (my brother) got baptised. That night some friends of the family came over and rosted marshmellow over the fire pit while the kids jumped on the tramp. Brennden learned to do flips. Kinda. He bends his body in half and doesn't round his back. He does a pretty good job when he actaully does it. But when his head hits the tramp instead of his back it's kinda funny. His face sort of skids along the tramp. He can home with an assortment of bruises. His nose, chin, legs and stomach are covered with them. But he never complained so I guess he's fine.

Trick Or Treat

Grandma took Charity home to sleep while Brennden went Trick Or Treating. He went with his cousin Brynlee and uncle Cameron.
He filled this up half way. I actually caught him grabbing candy out of the dishes while the adults were handing out candy to other kids.

This is what he got. It was only half of what he got last year, but he got tired earlier because of the bounce house and the slide that he wouldn't stay away from.

Brennden's Halloween

We went to a block party.
They had a slide needless to say.


Brennden and his uncle Cameron played on the slide for close to two hours. I don't think they ate or drank anything while we were there.


Charity's 1st Halloween

Grandma Jerman bought Charity this outfit to were for Halloween. The hat didn't stay on for long but it was so cute I had to take a picture. Check out the socks. Aren't they awsome.
We actually got Charity to smile for a picture.

Charity and her Aunt Candice. Candices was happy to hold her at first but quickly gave her to me when Charity decided that she couldn't hold down her food.
Over all she was a good sport considering all her comforts were at home and she stayed up for longer than usual.
