Dancing with the Kenyon

Last night I had the best time with Kenyon. The kids go to bed at 6pm and then I spent a little time straightening up, so by 8pm I was ready for "my show", Dancing with the Stars. I had just started it when I heard Kenyon squawk. I normally just give him a few minutes and he goes back to sleep. But last night, I jumped at the chance to go see him. Probably a little lonely since Jeremy has been gone for almost a week now. I picked him up and he pointed to the TV room. Again, normally I would say no, but I thought it would be nice to snuggle with him for a while. Well...we did anything but snuggle. He is the best person to watch dancing with!!! He cheers and claps with me and he wiggles and dances with the music and sways his arms back and forth. At one point he was jumping on the couch and holding my hands. (That was when we watched Warren Sapp's freestyle for the third time and we were "Rollin'") Don't get me wrong...my husband is really good at watching dancing with me(he hates the judges though), but he normally giggles and laughs AT me while Kenyon giggles, laughs, dances, cheers, and moves WITH me. I love him so much and this will be a great memory for a long long time. Maybe Monday nights he can stay up late:)

Seriously So Blessed

I just found this blog on Em's blog, and this is a MUST SEE! It makes fun of all other blogs and hits every LDS stereotype. Hilarious!!!! Visit this website: http://seriouslysoblessed.blogspot.com
Be prepared though because you will spend hours reading it, laughing you head off, waking up the kids because you are laughing so hard, stay up way to late reading all the past blogs, and then be cranky for the kids in the morning. Just saying.

Enjoy!!!

Novemeber 8th: Update on Mom in Canada

Jeremy got to visit my Mom on her mission in Toronto, Canada while he was there on a business trip. These are some pictures for the family so they can see her great place. I forget sometimes how silly Jeremy and I must look walking together but this pictures really brings it in perspective. Now you know why I always, always wear heels. At least it helps a little.

Nice shadow Jeremy...I love you!

Of course my lovely husband took her flowers. He is the best.

Is this a missionary desk or what!

Does this bring back memories?

Jeremy was so impressed/ surprised that my mom's missionary apartment was so clean and nice. I am not sure, but I am guessing his missionary apartments where not so. Mine where all great. Maybe it is sister missionary apartments verse elder missionary apartments? A question for the ages. None the less, he was very glad to see that she was well cared for.

Jeremy had a great time with Mom and they were able to go out to dinner and get a few nice things. Jeremy is set on going to pick her up when she is done and RVing our way around all the historical church sites that are so close. I would love to, but We'll see:)

Some Pictures

I have been informed that I do not post enough pictures. I don't post enough as is, but here are a few pictures from the past couple months of fun. Start off with a good one...not...here they are playing in a box. Well... Kenyon was playing in the box and I was pulling him around and I thought it would be great if Boston got in on the action. Boston did not think it was a good idea.

Here they are playing on the bed. Boston's signature color is Red and Kenyon's is blue, BUT they both look cute in anything and also in nothing. I love naked, diapered babies.

On Halloween Kenyon and our neighbor Tate dressed up as monkeys and they looked so cute together. Kenyon is on the right just for clarification.

Boston on Halloween as a baby monkey.

Here is Kenyon on Halloween. He had so much fun eating candy while we went trick-or-treat-ing. He couldn't wait once he figured out there was candy in his bag. We went a little early so not many people were home, but we had a good time anyway since it started to rain as we were finishing the neighborhood.

BOston at the ward Trunk-or-treat. Boston and Grandma Roberts stayed at the trunk while Kenyon, his cousins and I went around to all the cars. It was great to see all my Primary kids there and I wish I had taken pictures of them.

Kenyon at the trunk-or-treat. He was more interested in rolling down the hill than going around to all the cars, but we made a few stops. Plus it helped that his cousins were herding him in the right direction. I have to say that all his cousins are so good at helping me keep him out of trouble.

This was the first day it snowed and the following pictures are of us outside playing. Not much snow, but since it stayed on the ground, it counts. Kenyon loves this chair and he drags it around with him when he plays. Very fun. I tried to get pictures of him without the chair, but most of them have it anyway.

Kenyon smelling the flowers.

Boston snuggled up with Mommy outside in the cold and wondering why she took the blanket off his head while he was pleasantly sleeping.

Kenyon and Porter tasting and tromping in the new snow.

This video makes me laugh so hard. Probably because he is my son and I love him, but he is just so hilarious to me. This chair goes with him everywhere. I was holding the baby and recording him at the same time so there are a few moments of confusion, but still, kind-of cute.

One more video of Kenyon. He is rolling down the hill, if you can't tell. I tried to teach him months ago how to roll down the hill at a Bee's game and he just looked at me like I had crabs crawling out my ears. Then all of the sudden he started rolling down our hill and I had to get it taped.
Just the two of them chilling on the couch together while mom makes dinner. Kenyon hasn't really been a TV watcher, but since Boston has come I have found that he will sit through a show called "Between the Lions". I have to record "his show" so when I need him to sit still for just a few minutes I can turn it on and have my hands free. I don't really like that I have hired the television as a babysitter, but I also don't think it is good for him to be running around the kitchen with hot stuff either. Safety issues, go figure.

Here is Kenyon with Grandma Roberts at his cousin's indoor soccer game. I know he needs to give up the binki, but I am just trying to figure out how to do it when Boston gets a binki. Kenyon will just take the binki out of Boston's mouth if he really wants it. A work in progress. On another note....great hair day for Kenyon:)
