Ewey and Gooey!

Tonight I took Marcus and Tyson to the Como pumpkin carving activity and they had a whole lot of fun. I told them as we were walking over that they were going to get all messy, they were pretty excited about that. Marcus kept naming everything that he had on saying that it was going to get all "ewey and gooey." I am very glad however that he is a pretty neat and tidy kid - he really didn't get "ewey and gooey" at all, but even on our way home he had the biggest smile on his face and kept saying "we got all ewey and gooey!"
Marcus told me exactly what he wanted and was so proud of our pumpkin...I am sure glad that I didn't let him look at everyone elses or he might have been crying, I am not too good at carving pumpkins.


Here they are all "ewey and gooey."

Shots...No Fun!

Well we went to the Doctor this morning and Carter is doing GREAT!! He now weights 13lbs and is 223/4 inches long. He also got his shots and has been sad ever since. Marcus and Tyson did so well with their shots that I didn't think it would bother Carter but his poor little legs have really been hurting him. Hopefully he will do better tomorrow.

"Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'"

Carter is now 2 months old. He is going to have his 2 month check up on Wednesday but today we caught him doing this! Marcus was so proud of him as was his Dad. He is actually in pretty big trouble with his Mom though, she doesn't think that he should be growing up this fast. He rolled over 3 times in a row...slow down Carter!!

Rocks!

Here are my sweet Sunday boys. This is the first time I have got Carter in a Sunday tie. Boys really are so much fun and sure look handsome all dressed up. I sure thought with good looking boys like these it was going to be a great day.

Well after church I got Tyson and Carter taking naps and put Marcus in his room for quiet time. I was making Sunday dinner when I heard Marcus hollering for me. I ran upstairs and Marcus told me he had rocks in his ears and not just in one ear but both! I don't even know how these small little rocks got into his bedroom but he found them and I guess he was a little bored and wanted to add a little adventure to the day. I didn't know what to do. Brian was still at his church meetings and I was debating whether I should attemp to get these rocks out of his ears myself or to leave it to the professionals . I decided to wait for Brian to get home so that I wouldn't be hauling all of my children to the clinic. We ate dinner and I was still debating on whether I should try to get them out myself. Marcus told me he wanted me to take them out and after a few prayers and singing we were able to get the rocks out with out any tears! I am sure glad that Heavenly Father helped me.

"What was your favorite thing today?"

Tonight we went on a walk to go and see the train that runs down by our apartment and we thought that the boys would love it. We have been a couple times before and have missed the trains and were hoping that we would actually get to see one in action...well we did. It definitely wasn't what Brian or I was expecting. While we were walking, we saw a train going by but we were too far away, or so we thought. Marcus loved it at that distance. We were all running trying to see as much as we could and he and Tyson were laughing. It was great! We realized that we were too late and kept walking in that direction. When we got to the train tracks another train was coming. We were way excited and put some coins on the track and went to the side to watch it go by. Marcus was a little scared at how loud it was but was still doing fine. The train started to slow down and then came to a stop. We were a little disappointed because we really wanted to get our flat coins. Brian started to walk closer to the train to see how close the end was and Marcus started to get really nervous. He was hollering at Brian to not get too close, he didn't want him to get hurt. We waited a bit and then heard the engine start up again from a distance and by the time it caught up to the train cars by us there was the loudest boom ever as the slack was pulled from between the train cars. It made me jump...Marcus was in tears! It was so sad. We did however get our smashed coins.

Later on that night as I was getting the boys to bed, I asked Marcus what his favorite thing that we did today was and he quickly replied, "Not the trains!" I sure love that kid!

Carter on the other hand didn't mind the trains. Slept through it all. :0)!

The Great Weekend!

This weekend was so much fun. Both Jeana and Maryn were able to come to Minnesota. We were already so excited for Jeana to come and visit and when Maryn got her mission call and found that she is leaving at the end of this month, we got another wonderful suprise that she was coming too. We weren't going to be spoiled with just one Aunt but two!! The boys really had so much fun and love, LOVE their Aunts. Thanks again for coming girls, and really anyone who ever wants to come and visit you are always welcome!

Carters Blessing Day!

We blessed Carter this past Sunday and it was so wonderful. Brian did such a wonderful job, we really are blessed with such a sweet little boy. Here is our sweet little boy, Carter Weston Lee. We also wanted to thank all of those who could come. With our family so far away we were blessed to have some of Brian's classmates with us to celebrate, as well as Jeana! Thanks you guys!
