Moving - Part 2, Nascar, and Rockets

So after a very busy Friday and Saturday and some amazing help we were able to move out on Saturday. A great big hug to everyone who helped - THANK YOU!!! Here you can see the boys' bedroom in Perry. They are very happy to be at Grandma Tams' house and Ryan keeps asking when we will move in with Grandma Tuft.

Before we moved, we were in Santaquin visiting aunt Laurel and we saw the Kyle Bush NASCAR M&M's Toyota Camry race car and we had to stop. The boys loved the real race car and the M&M's trailer. It was hard for them to control their emotion. Matthew wanted to drive it and Ryan wanted to know where the M&M's were.
On Thursday we went out to Promentory point to see the static test of the ARIS rocket that will power the new NASA space shuttle. Grandpa Tams builds rockets! The boys really enjoyed the free rocket poster and the miniature rocket. The Onstotts are visiting from France so they went too. Unfortunately, the test was stopped 20 seconds prior to ignition. A faulty power supply to the hydraulics caused them to cancel the test. Hopefully the boys will see the real rockets soon. Below is a video of a prior test.

We are still trying to get settled, but things have finally calmed down a little. Hopefully we can find a house soon!

Mater's Tall Tales

Merry Christmas. I just wanted to share these videos with you. If you don't have Disney Channel you may not have seen them. But if you have boy's and they love cars this is a must see. I'm going to record them on my Computer to see if I can get better audio and picture. Enjoy!

Go bug your brother

Well this week has been very exciting and a lot of fun. Shortly after our last post I had to move Matthew into another part of our living room so I could vacuum. When I put Matthew over by Ryan I told him to go bug his brother...so Matthew went over to Ryan and said: "Buzzz Buzzzz Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz." It was really cute and really funny.
Last Saturday Matthew was pretending to be asleep but he had to take a nap with mom. So here are the pictures of Matthew and Mom taking a nap on a Saturday morning.
Ryan and Matthew continue to be a handful. Ryan wants everything that Matthew has. Ryan also likes to chase Matthew on his bike. Finding a successful way for Matthew and Ryan to play together usually involves the gate.

Earlier this week Amy heard Ryan just laughing as hard as she had heard in a long time. So she went over to investigate. What she found was Matthew holding on to Ryan's feet and dragging him around the living room on his tummy. Ryan thought it was a hoot but mom put a quick stop to the dragging of others. A few weeks ago we bought some tootsie rolls and Matthew calls them "Quincy rolls." We are not sure where he got it but it is cute.

Ryan had another good week. He is getting very active and he is climbing up more stairs. He loves to get into the bay window and bang on the shades. He also loves to crawl under the dinning room table and pull on the computer cords. In fact he loves to pull on any cord. He is quickly becoming an escape artist and we have to be really careful to hold on to Ryan tight. In fact the other day Amy and the Boys were drawing with chalk on the sidewalk and blowing bubbles. Amy thought she had a good grip on Ryan but in less than a second he had wiggled free from her grip and tumbled down into the tick-seed bush. Ryan enjoyed the soft fall and was interested in a second try.

Matthew is enjoying driving around in Daddy's smaller car this weekend. We sent Amy's Camry to the paint shop to get an old scratch fixed...so we get to drive the boys around in the Prizm. Matthew must get bored in the Camry because he noticed the difference in the upholstery. He told Amy that he loves all of the colors on the seat. Matthew has started reading the Book of Mormon. Last night during prayer he prayed that the Nephites would be safe and make good choices so they would be happy. It is amazing to see that he somehow gets that.
