Halloween and First Monday in Canton :)

Today I went to the First Monday in Canton and met some of Bryan's family from Bakersfield and Plano there. It was so much fun and I got some really great stuff for some really good prices. Pictures will get posted as I get the stuff up. I will definitely go back to the first monday in canton. Since we were in Canton, I left with enough time to get home and go to the trunk or treat at church, but it took me over 2 hours and 45 minutes to get home so I was unable to go to the church activity but Bradley wore his costume and handed the candy out to the kids that came by our house. Here are 2 pictures of Bradley in his costume but he wouldn't look at the camera so they aren't very good. It was very cute, every time the doorbell rang he would get so excited and run to the door. He would look out the window and if a kid had on a scary mask he would go and hide.


I was obviously in his way and he was trying to look around me to see the TV.


Pics from Houston!!

Here are some pics from our trip to Houston. I only took pics of Fairfield and Houston not Georgetown.

This is the Sonic in Fairfield, TX. Bryan had to visit a dealership in Fairfield, TX on the first day and since we didn't have a hotel yet, I took Bradley down to the Sonic and they had some amazing toys.



This was a really old house behind the Dairy Queen in Fairfield that I fell in love with. I would love to buy it and move it to a new location and redo it. From this picture you can't see the back which was just as interesting from the front.


On our way to Georgetown from Houston we drove by the Houston Temple. It was really pretty.
I also this awesome tower of some sort that looked like it had butterflies on it. When we got closer they where satellites of some sort. It looked really cool, the pic doesn't really do it justice.

On the road again :)

Bryan had to go to Houston this week to work and he drives so about an hour before he left I decided that Bradley and I would go with him. I have been wanting to go with him but am not sure how Bradley will do in a hotel. He does great in the car but hotels are kinda a pain in the rear. So we are in Houston and the drive down here was really nice. Our first stop was Fairfield Texas which has a sonic with the coolest toys. While Bryan was working I took Bradley to the Sonic and he played on the toys. Today we are in Houston and tonight we are off to Austin and then home on Thursday. It has been nice to spend some time all together. Last night was not so good, Bradley ended up in the bed with us and he just kicked me all night long after an hour of him asking for his bed. We tried the pack n play they bring but that didn't work. So hopefully tonight will be better, but if not I can survive on little sleep for 2 days, I did it for 14 months while Bradley was breastfeeding. Well I was gonna post some pics of our trip from day 1 but I am on Bryan's computer and his computer doesn't have a slot for my card. So pictures will come when I get home. I brought my computer, but forgot the power cord. I had just enough power to get my school work done and submitted and I guess that is more important.

I have decided that at one point while we live in Texas we are definitely coming back to Houston and going to the aquarium, a children's play museum, and a wild animal park. There are a lot of fun things I saw to do here.

Potty Training!!!

I have officially started potty training. I think it should be called cleaning up pee and poop days. Bradley only had 4 accidents yesterday and probably went to the bathroom 6 times in the toilet. He gets the idea of going in the bathroom I just am not sure he wants to. I have even come up with prize options to entice him more. He now gets to pick between candy, stickers or a new tattoo. Most time he picks the candy or stickers but he has picked a new tattoo a few times and if full on sleeves is what it takes to get this kid potty trained I am up for it. Tattoo's are actually cheaper than candy and they only last a few days. He loves them and thinks they are stickers that stay around for a little bit. I decided to start potty training from some encouragement in Cali. He told my mom one time that he didn't want to go on the potty he was just going to go in his diaper. Wish us luck!!

Our Tirp to Cali

So we just got home and had a really good time in Cali. Hopefully when we go back for Christmas it will be just as fun. Bradley spent most of his time outside playing. Also I got the 24 hour flu when I was there they day before we left, so that was also fun. I also went to my high schools homecoming. I took a few pictures of the stadium. It is nothing compared to the high school stadiums around here and for some of my senior year the bleachers were condemned so all the fans had to sit on one side.

These are some pics from the wedding we went to and had a really great time at.


This is Bryan and most of his high school buddies. I have a picture from our senior year with most of these guys in it.




This is my high school stadium, from the current visitors side. But when the stadium got condemned they switched the home side to the other side. Before they rebuilt the stadium, the bleachers where wood and smaller than what they are now. The track is dirt and during the 90's they pumped oil from the middle of the football field.

Zoo, Washing Dishes, BYU Game, Trip to Cali and Pictures with Mommy!!!

Holly and I took the kids to the zoo a week or so ago and Bradley decided to hold Mya's strap on her backpack and walk with her. It was very cute except for when they decided to try to ditch Holly and I.


Baby Aiden enjoying the zoo.


Bradley and Mya trying to ditch the moms. They where way to cool to see be around us.





Bradley has decided to play in the sink. He always rinses all the dishes but usually gets more water all over the kitchen than in the sink. He isn't tall enough so he just uses his chair and then hangs on the counter.



We went to the BYU game a couple nights ago and had a really good time except they lost. Since I was a cheerleader all my life even in college I was most excited about watching the cheerleaders and I took some pics of them too. Tracy, Holly and I all sat together and had a blast talking and watching the game.

The cheerleaders. GO COUGARS!!!!!!!!!!!!




This was their tradition at the beginning of the game. I am not sure what it is called but it was really cool.

A friend from the wards little boy didn't really like the noise. It was so cute.

Warm up pics.






Holly and I before the game.

Bryan and Kimball before the game.

Holly did you find any interesting pictures on your camera?

Here are some pics that Bryan took of Bradley and I.






We are in California for a wedding and our trip out here was pretty uneventful. Bradley did pretty good except he was awake the whole flight until the wheels of plane hit the ground to land, he fell asleep. I know convienent!!!

Madagascar 2!!!!!!!!!


Bradley has never got really excited about something on TV before until today. A commercial for Madagascar 2 came on the TV and Bradley started going nuts. It comes out Nov. 7th and since Bradley has never been to the movie's before I think this will be his first one. Anyone else want to go??
