Oh, October.

October comes with grace, every year. We love being able to open the windows at night and to play outside without dying of heat. 50 degrees at night and 80 during the day is absolutely glorious after some pretty insane summer heat. We love October! And on another note, I can not believe it is already halfway gone. I have put off blogging because then I have to come to terms with time going by. Time needs to slow down! 

Cars, cars, cars...every day.

Halloween preview on sick boys.

And if it isn't cars, it is books. 

At the park. We love it!

Milo and Benji insisted on playing at the park but were feeling
a little under the weather. Luckily the bridge was pretty comfy. 

A little blurry, but this is how
Benji chooses to sleep. Feet
dangling off of the pillow.

The boys were thoroughly entertained as we swept
the entire neighborhood on Saturday morning.
...and this was their idea, not mine. 

Saturdays mean playing with Daddy.

Milo loves all of the instruments.

We love playing at the park!

The train park is our absolute favorite. It's too
bad that it's 45 minutes away! 

Milo really loves playing hide and seek.

And I love my cute boys.

We love Daddy!

"Benji,what are you wearing?"
"A shirt and Mom's glasses!" 

They are so brave! Braver and tougher than mom,
that's for sure.

The boys really wanted to go swimming, even though
the water was FREEZING cold. Here they are,
pumping themselves up.

But, it is also VERY impressive!

I am putting these in here because I support Josh and
love him for working so hard. But loving him does
not mean I have to love these pictures...

Impromptu photo-opp with Milo. 

But I will definitely not complain! 

His idea, not mine. 

Snapchat is wonderful entertainment.

Benji

Miles

And Josh keeps me entertained
with snapchat. What a babe.

Cuties.

Miles loves his diaper hat.

Another beautiful day at the park.

And just five minutes before Milo
lost his favorite car in the lake.
Such a sad day for the little guy.

Music is our favorite part of
general conference.

Milo and Benji made a friend at the
park and played for a solid hour
with him. Thanks for playing, Luke!

We love conference weekend. 

Cuties

Holy cow, my kids are cuties. I know every parent says that and we are all a little bit biased but I really, truly think that my kids are the bees knees. They make me laugh every day and remind me of the good. They teach me to be kind, forgiving, and patient and for that alone, I owe them the world. Being a mom is the best, but being a mother to these two is more than I ever could have asked for. 

Scared face

Happy face

Happy face again.

Fishy face

"What does a bear say?"

Show me what a Starfish does

And a Walrus?

Sad face. I think they could have a career in acting!

September is always a good one

September has been a really fun month. It has cooled down enough that we can spend more time outside and we have had a lot of fun playing. There is a construction site near our house that the boys love to spend time at. We spent over an hour there on our first trip! We have played with Daddy and we have made a lot of fun memories. Honestly, I don't really want September to end! But I realize time doesn't work like that, so we will try to welcome October with open arms. I hope it knows just how big the shoes are that it needs to fill because September has been one to remember!

Benji and Milo teaching me all about the tractors.

Excavator, Bulldozer, and Backhoe are our favorites!

We found a fire truck in the Old
Navy parking lot and just HAD
to play inside. It was
awesome! 

The boys thought it was the
coolest thing!

Such cute fire fighters!

Benji got to turn on the sirens,
Milo was a little nervous. 

Josh works really hard and deserves some naps
 but it always amazes me when he can sleep
through all of the chaos!

This may look like torture but
Milo requested a burrito
to brush his teeth. Whatever
works, right?!

Grocery shopping for FHE.

We try to keep all of our ducks in a row.

They are all pretty photogenic. 

Miles was cracking everyone up with his
story telling. FYI, a peacock says, "yelp. yelp."

We love having Daddy home.

A haircut for Milo!

He is very patient as we blend in all of his
handsome bald spots.

Benji next. He doesn't last as long.

Also, I am the luckiest.

We always know where Miles has been because we
find "car limes" (car lines) everywhere he goes.

It is one of my favorite things.

We love the duck pond. 

Dinner at Rubios for the birthday boy!

Happy Birthday, Joshua! We are SO lucky to have you.
