Look who's 2!!

Today was Corey's 2nd birthday. It was a fun day he kept saying "two,two" and trying to hold up fingers all day. Grandma and grandpa came for dinner and cake before Brandon had to run to cub scouts. Thanks for being there! With all the Popsicles and cake today we had a major sugar rush going but it was a beautiful night so we ran off some energy outside before bed time.

tween hearts

So I think we officially have a tween in our home. Alyssa doesn't turn 12 til October but we had had alot of changes this year. And we have been invaded with the JONAS BROTHERS. For those of you with kids you my have hear of a little movie on the Disney channel called "Camp Rock" Alyssa is in love with this movie and has got posters up all over of these guys. I have to say they are not bad.

what wrong with my eyes?

Ben is probably going to kill me for this but this is mostly for family out west so everyone knows. Ben has been in and out of the eye doctor about 4 times so far this year trying to figure out what is going on we have been given all kinds of things it could be from genetic, getting hit to hard in football, tumors, a hypothalamus problem and Lyme disease. So he went to specialist and they did all kinds of tests. MRI, blood work and fun stuff like that. Long story short we got a positive and negative on the lyme test. So he has to do again. I am trying to get it done before we head out there in a few weeks. Anyway we don't want it to be lyme but it would be nice to have a reason for the changes in his eye sight. I have included a link if anyone wants to check out the symptoms. If you like the outdoors its good to be informed I didn't know all the things that can be effected by this disease. http://www.lymeout.org/symptoms.html

How handsome!

Ben and I were talking a few days ago about his sisters wedding and he said Corey needed a suit. So I got out all the sport coats bradon had that jared never really got a change to wear cause he grew so fast! And put a dress shirt and 1 coat on corey. But he wanted ALL of them on so the pictures are of him wearing 4 suit coats! I had a heck of a time getting them off that is why he looks up side down he kept laying down every time I would try to get one off!

For Fun

Ok I saw this on my friends blog and thought it would be fun to see what people could come up with. I know some people are not familiar with how to leave a comment so if you want to-- all you have to do is at the bottom of the post click on the thing that says comment and it will take you to the screen. Here are the rules.. Here are the directions: 1. As a comment on this post, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! 2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments. Just let me know which you prefer. Let's see what everyone remembers!

Lego Builders

Brandon has always loved Lego's and can build some amazing things with them. I cant believe how fast he can put his sets together. He gets one and it comes with this 30 step book and by the 2nd or 3rd time he does it he doesn't even need the instructions! Then he makes them into other things I could never think of. Sp today I was so happy the boys worked together to build something. Its a ship with guns and all Indiana Jones and his dad are the passengers.

Cricut round two..

I finally got my cricut today!! The first one I ordered got delivered to the wrong house. So someone (most likely on my street) got a pretty nice package with out paying! I was thinking about the run around we had to go through to prove we didn't get it. I cant believe how dishonest people can be. It makes it so much harder for the rest of us. But I am happy to have my machine and can't wait to play around with it this weekend!

Family pictures

We went and got family pictures today. About time Corey is almost 2 and is not in our last one! So we decided to try the new place Portrait Innovations (next to gold gym). It was a lot of fun and they took good pictures and a ton of them we ended up spending a little more then I had planned but we got some nice pics of the kids. We also got the disc with all the pictures one it. Most of the slide show is of the one ones we didn't pick. I would defiantly go back again..

Check out my Slide Show!

FISH CUBS!

Tuesday brandon had a goldfish derby at cub scouts. They also had an award ceremony where he got his wolf badge and a bunch of other stuff. The boys had lots of fun while the girls went and got their hair done for family pictures on Thursday. They even got to take the fish home with them. Jared getting some help to beat dad! Raceing the goldfish
