Lost and Fountain

Here is another one from Brandon.  He totaly thought it was lost and fountain instead of Lost and Found.  He also learned today the correct word for the famale private parts...he is 7 now after all right?  Both he and Tyler asked me tonight where the baby comes out of...well what an opportunity.  ANYWAY I told him it was time for him to learn the names of some parts.  I also told him that he didn't need to go around repeating the words either.  OH MY well he went to bed saying them over and over again.  Hopefully he gets it all out before school tomorrow morning.  What a crazy. I did not, however, go into all the other stuff.  They only asked where the baby comes out of...not how it got there.  Baby steps.  At least they asked.  I am sure it won't be long before the curiosity grows from there.  It's fine, we were preparing to tell all so this is great.
On a lighter note, Brandon turned 7 last week and we had a great time!  He really wanted a soccer ball with a net/goal, he was so excited.  He had a little birthday party with all his friends here at home, it was fun!  I need to upload some pictures.  I just had to get this all down in type before I forget it all.  Not a dull moment around here.

"Cologme" and other Mispronounced Funnies

Brandon was telling me about a kid in his class who got in trouble for wearing "cologme".  I died laughing (inside).  He has come to me so many times and just slightly misrpronounces things.  It is so cute especially because he has a lisp and his little face is so cute and freckled and he is just funny and cute.  There are so many more I need to come back and write them down each time.  Last night was another one and now  I can't remember it. Oh ya, today as we werer setting up Christmas decorations, Ethan was asking why "Rudog's" nose was red... : )
Anyway, well some more news from here.  Jace is rolling over and got his first cold this week.  Oh and he also has his two bottom teeth already!  I tell ya, it really does fly by.  He is still so much fun and he makes our family happy.  He isn't always the easliest baby, he is really really active and has a lot of personality but that isn't so different from any of his brothers before him.
In unbleievable news, we got two new dogs.  (Sorry Shippens)  We were going to just keep both for a while and give one to Scott and Jaime and kids but should've known what a joke that would turn out to be.  Ya right, like my kids are going to get used to, and fall in love with a couple of dogs and then be able to just give one up.  Plus, they really like each other's company.  They are brothers but do not really look anything alike.  (Yep, even the dang dogs are Male.)  They are "cockapoos" so that means, toy poodle, papion, and cockerspaniel.  "AJ" the white one looks like his dad who is a papion and "Chewy" the black one looks more like the cokerspaniel-poodle mix.  Both are from the same litter though.  We got them when they were only 9 weeks old, so now I guess they must be like four months or something.  They don't shed and I am not allergic so that is good.  They won't get a whole lot bigger either and that is good for us too.  We installed a doggie door and can keep them contained when we need to in the laundry room which works out really well for me.  I never really thought I would do it, especially with a baby but here I am.  Never say never I guess. The boys are in heaven so that is good.
We are getting excited to celebreate Christmas, Tyler has informed us that he no longer believes in Santa but is still going to write and send him a letter/list...hmmmm?? OK  Sad that he is already on his way out with that stuff.  I know he has doubted in years past but I think he just really wanted to believe.
Good thing we still have the younger ones or that would be no fun! 
Ok, so these first two picures are of me taking Tyler and Brandon and their good buddies Andy and Jaxon to the Bend Symphony.  Brandon came running in one day after school and told me about this guy from the Symphony that came to the school and played a bunch of instraments for the kids.  He had a pamphlet that they had handed out and he really wanted to go so I decided I should capitalize on something so rare...my kids having potential for culure in their lives.  Brian isn't that way so much so it will have to be up to me.  I am not that way so much either except that my parents are and so I was given many oportunities like that as a child.  Anyway we went and they LOVED it.  It was very fun to take them on a little date.  Oh, and it was free so that was great too!

yep, Brandon is nuts 

Jace will watch screens for a bit, it's funny.  Brandon loves to play with both the dogs and Jace.  All the boys are like that really.  It's so cute to see them play with Jace, he just loves them so much.  He gets a HUGE smile on his face whenever he sees them.

Our Little Doggies





rolling rolling rolling








Dang here was supposed to be a video of Jace laughing...it's pretty cute but it won't work.  He thought is was really funny if I hit my hands down on the bed!  Notice the large of amounts of slobber, teething like crazy.
It already snowed here right before Thanksgiving!  It stayed about two days, long enough to play and build a snowman named BOB.
