Goodbye summer hello Fall!!!

Weston loves to feed himself Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches! As you can tell he makes a pretty good size mess but whatever right! Its nice to be able to have him feed himself sometimes so I can get something done! I love his cheesy smile!!

Weston has now had to have breathing treatments twice! (as in he has gotten a really really bad chest cold twice and both times had to have breathing treatments) The first few treatments were horrible. This child is so strong! It was so hard to have to hold him down while doing this. It was really funny though because it turns into a huge family event when Weston gets these treatments. Mostly everyone tries to entertain him so he will stay still and someone has to stay by Madi so she doesn't flip out! She has gotten so much better now though and just keeps her distance and doesn't really look at him while he has the mask on!

He LOVES to climb on things. This is the new favorite. He climbs on it and just giggles and screams until someone acknowledges the fact that he has climbed up on the chair!

Yes this is a very proud man of his whole family wearing our Michigan shirts! I love Weston's hat! And this was the end of the day so just excuse Madison's hair she played hard and napped hard!

Look what a happy daddy he is! Weston is just as happy. I love these two boys!

So I decided to strip Weston down and give him a bowl of Mac N Cheese. Well he took one handful and put it in his mouth then decided that wasn't fun so he grabbed the whole bowl and shoved it in his face and started to suck the noodles out of the bowl!!! After a little he got tired of holding the bowl up so he put it down on his tray and put his face in it eating it! We were laughing so hard we were crying! He actually ate quite a bit!!

Another view of the action! haha!



So I decided Madison's princess couch is not diaper friendly! This same thing happened to Madi when she was little! They go to crawl off of the little couch and their diaper catches on the couch and it unstraps it! So here is Weston happy as can be that his diaper is halfway off. In the mornings now he gives me enough time to take his diaper off wipe him and then off he goes crawling away from me as fast as he can smiling from ear to ear!!



I made Madi and Landen some popcorn and turned on a movie for them the other day. Madi had her legs crossed before I took this picture it was so cute! She is turning into such a little princess! She is getting to independent too! Its crazy all the things that she says and does now. It kinda makes me sad that she is getting big so fast! She has to do things by herself and if I try to help..... well lets just say its not a pretty sight when I try to help!! 

Since we don't have a horse Brett is the next best thing! These kids love when he is around. They rough house like crazy and even Weston will start tackling Brett now its so funny! It is so nice for Renee and I when Brett comes home cause he gets the kids all riled up and gets all their energy out. I seriously wonder how Brett still has all the energy to run and play with the kids after working and going to school all the time.

My cousin Amber and her husband Chad and Brett and I went to my aunts cabin for an overnighter! Can you see the excitement in their faces to get away from our toddlers and just relax with our husbands!!!

This is the first decent picture Brett and I have taken in a long time! The trees were beautiful all the colors up the canyon on the drive up there were amazing too! It was so relaxing and so fun! We need to go again guys!!!

So along with Weston having bad chest colds we all got the flu. BAD!!! Madi started it and it landed us in the hospital for a few hours to get some fluids back in her. The poor thing was so dehydrated and weak she could hardly talk or move. Every time we would move her or she would move she would throw up. The poor thing is too much like her mommy when it comes to the flu. I wish she would have gotten her daddy's tummy. So she got the flu Wednesday and was still pretty bad Thursday but she slept a lot and relaxed which was good especially cause we were at the hospital until about 2 am! Then Friday evening Weston got the flu. Friday night I was so lucky and got it really bad too..... thankfully Weston only threw up a few times and then slept through the night and was fine the next day! Me on the other hand. Well lets just say I am lucky that Brett was home to take care of the kids cause I slept all day Saturday and could hardly do anything. Then lucky Brett got the flu Monday!! He and Weston recovered pretty fast minus having Brett's tummy a little sensitive to some foods but other then that they are doing so much better. Oh ya not to mention my nephew got the flu Saturday!! So yes my house is off limits until next week and then we can merge out into public and play with friends again! For some very sad news my parents dog Sam (the big Golden Retriever) died on Wednesday. He got really sick and wouldn't move and eat so my parents brought him to the vet and they told my parents that he had a tumor on him spleen that was cancerous and it had ruptured and he was bleeding out internally and he didn't have much longer. So my parents made the decision to put him down and not drag Sammy through more pain. It was so sad. We have had Sam for at least ten years! He was our little buddy. Anyone who knew my family knows how much we love our dogs and everyone knows Sam and what a good dog he was. The kids would flop all over him pull his hair smack him and he just laid there and would give them kisses and never growl or anything! I'm going to miss the big puppy!!! Other then that Brett is busy working, going to school, doing homework and trying to sleep. Madi is so cute she will hold a little picture of Jesus and stand in front of us no matter where we are and sing church songs! Sometimes we can figure out which one she is singing and sometimes we can't! But really it doesn't matter cause its just so cute to have her holding the picture and singing to us! Her and Landen love it when Renee turns on music for them to dance to. They clear the front room floor of everything and then just dance like crazy! Weston will even get into it bouncing on his bum and he will stand up holding on to something and bounce up and down. Its so cute! We are trying to enjoy the cooler weather but its kind of hard when all the kids are sick! The weather is beautiful and the colors changing on the trees and everywhere are awesome! Hope everyone is enjoying the weather!!!
