Michael Turns Two!
I am so in love with my little guy. He is at a very fun and active age. He can pretty much say anything he wants and most of the time talks in complete sentences. He loves to run and throw balls and he is sure trying hard to jump. He loves anything with wheels or a motor. He especially loves motorcycles, helicopters, and trains. He is very social and loves to be with people and go places. In fact, he spends most of sacrament meeting trying to escape so he can go to nursery and play with the toys and kids. One of his favorite things is to take baths, and he has made up a little song that he sings were he dances around and says tubby time tubby time over and over again. And I will admit it is so cute it often works and he gets to get in the tub. He loves to act silly and make his sisters laugh, but most of all he loves his dad.

Old Friends, Great Times
A couple of weekends ago I went to Colorado with my old college roommate Suzanne to visit our other roommate Vanessa. It was so much fun! We laughed, talked, ate, shopped, ate, laughed, watched chick flixs, ate, laughed, and talked and talked. It was so great to see them again. I love these girls and even though we only lived together for two years, we will always be great friends no matter how far apart we may live.

It's Official . . .
WE ARE MOVING TO NORTH CAROLINA!
A couple of months ago a company approached Scott with a new job opportunity, we didn't think too much about it at first, but out of curiosity he decided to just look into it a little bit. And long story short it turned out to be a really good career opportunity and offer.
I have tried really hard to hate the whole idea because we really love it here, we have a ton of great friends, and we love being so close to so much family. But to be honest, it just feels right and both Scott and I know taking this new job is what we should do. So even though I am so sad about leaving, I am really excited for this new adventure for our family.
Things have been happening really fast, but it has been amazing how things just keep falling into place. We have this home under contract and hope to close on it in the middle of January. Scott starts work on January 4th. Me and the kids are going to be staying here for awhile until we figure out what we are going to do with our house here, and to give Scott sometime to remodel the new house. There is a whole lot of ugly going on in it right now (popcorn ceilings, pink carpet, blue tile, and lots and lots of wall paper borders.) We will miss you all!

Mom is great...gives us chocolate cake!
So the other morning I was looking in the fridge trying to decide what to cook for breakfast when I saw some left over cupcakes with chocolate frosting, and immediately my mind flashed to the old Bill Cosby Himself comedy routine where he was fixing breakfast for his kids and thought what's in chocolate cake? "Eggs, flour, milk . . . that's nutrition" it made me smile so big I couldn't help myself. I decided we were going to have chocolate cake for breakfast too. When the kids came down the girls saw what was on the table and immediately started singing the song from Cosby's comedy routine (yes they have heard it too, totally funny and appropriate for kids) "Mom is great, gives us chocolate cake." Over and over again as they ate their cupcakes (and cantalope my mom raised me too well, I have to serve my kids a fruit or veggie every meal or I just feel too guilty) with a huge smile on their faces. Even my biggest kid Scott left for work with his cupcake in hand and singing "Mom is great, gives us chocolate cake" as he kissed me goodbye.
It was a great way to start a nothing special morning, and even though I probably won't do it too often - we will definately have chocolate cake for breakfast again. If only to hear everyone sing "Mom is great" over and over again:)

Since it is almost Thanksgiving . . .
I thought I would post some Halloween pictures. Yes, I know it is amazing how on top of things I am :)
I had two costume choices for Michael, I really wanted him to be a lion but he loves puppies and is always pretending to be one anyways so I gave in. He did make a really cute puppy and loved to bark, whine, and crawl around
Isabelle's favorite animal is kitties so she was thrilled to be big enough to wear Grandma's kitty costume.
Maddy wanted to be "something scary but still cute," so she decided on Wednesday from the Adams Family. She did a pretty impressive job of not smiling most of the time.
The girls tried hard to teach Michael to say Trick or Treat, but after the first house all he would say was CANDY, CANDY, CANDY. He loved trick or treating and was happy to stay out for over an hour getting his favorite thing CANDY.
