The Three Musketeers

The things they say...

Matthew: Mom, you're a pig. (giggle, giggle)
Mom: I'm a pig?
Matthew: Yes!
Ryan: I'm a doggy, woof woof!
Mom: You're a doggy?
Ryan: giggle, giggle
Matthew: And I'm a wolf.
Mom: Really? Wow.
Matthew: Yeah, a big bad wolf.
Mom: Why are you a big bad wolf?
Matthew: Because I'm four. (That explains a lot!)


I had just finished changing Ryan's pants last night. As I was getting ready to strap on his new diaper, he accidentally brushed his hand alongside his damp bum. "Oh no momma. My bum is crying!" he says.

Dr. Matthew

Matthew wanted a snack the other day and brought out some saltine crackers. I told him that he needed to think of something else.
"But Mom" (a very common phrase these days) "I want to eat these."
"Why?"
"Because I think I'm getting sick."
"You're not getting sick silly. Let's find something else."
"I am getting sick and these will help me get better. See, they have Vitamin C," he says, pointing to the box.
And sure enough, they do. As in C. For Cracker.

Zachary's Blessing

We blessed our little Zachary last week. Kevin gave a beautiful blessing and Zach was quiet through the whole thing. :) It was so nice to have family come and visit. We missed those who couldn't be here! Here are some pictures of our handsome guy.

With Mom right before the blessing.

So sweet!

Mom and her boys.

What a fun day!

Halloween - A little late!

The boys had a blast for Halloween this year. Matthew couldn't wait to get dressed in his costume, even though he was the same thing last year. (That's okay. Easy for mom!) We went to the ward party for chili and cornbread and a trunk-or-treat. The boys played a few carnival games then got down to business with some serious trick-or-treating. Ryan even learned to say "twick tweat" and "thank you man." It was pretty funny. Let's just say that they got way too much candy.

What's up, little monkey?

Tigger is all smiles.

Enjoying the fruits of their labors in the parking lot.

Finally a smile.

Mummy loves me!
