Seth likes to wash dishes...

This is true. Seth does like to "try" and wash dishes. One day he INSISTED on washing dishes so I put him up on the sink and let him try it all by himself.

Halloween and Football Madness...

It was a fun weekend. It started with Halloween on Friday. After a Halloween party in the afternoon, Grandpa Snow arrived and we had pizza for dinner. Then we went on a very fast trick-or-treating trip because we already had plenty of candy and weren't really interested in getting more.



Then we were off to Fort Collins for the BYU vs. CSU game. It was really fun and the weather was amazing. Everyone slept on the way there so it was peaceful. We got there and the boys were pretty amazed. The first half went really well. They really liked the band too. In the second half, Seth got pretty jumpy so John and him walked around while we watched most of the third quarter. We had to leave a little early so we didn't get stuck in traffic. We stopped at Sonic! We haven't eaten at Sonic since we left Texas.
We listened to the game on the radio and were very happy BYU was able to win because it didn't look good while we were at the game. However, it was so sad to watch Texas lose...

Halloween Fun...

Here are a few pictures from our pre-Halloween fun. Our Church trunk-o-treat and a night of dry ice courtesy of John's lab. We were getting dizzy from all the carbon dioxide so we opened the doors ;) It also took a little while to convince Seth not to drink the dry ice.

Pumpking Patching across the universe...

Well, maybe I have been listening to Star Trekkin too much. Here are some pictures from our fun time at the pumpkin patch. They had two different mazes and tons of pumpkins. We got some and had dinner in a pumpkin for Seth's birthday. Seth really loved the animals, especially the cows and the sheep.

Seth is two...

Our sweet Seth is two today, although according to him he is "sick" (six). It has been delightful to watch him grow up!.

It is almost enough to wish you were British

As if having Harry Potter wasn't enough...the British also get these ipod commercials!

Edward Cullen vs. John Prince

*This is a warning...only read this post if you are really bored

I was talking with a friend about Twilight and she was saying that she doesn't like it because she is so sick of everyone gushing over how romantic and wonderful Edward Cullen is and their husbands are not. I can see how this would get old after awhile and really bother me too. I, on the other hand, always thought John was a lot like Edward and gave her a fun list of the ways they are the same. We had a really fun discussion about how are husbands are like Edward so I thought I would inspire you to think of all the fun ways your husbands are like Edward so we don't have to turn innocent people against Twilight (not that I am a big fan but still...). I should turn this into some kind of tag but I won't...

HOW JOHN IS LIKE EDWARD
-He takes really good care of me
-He is very smart and well educated (it seems like he's been in school as long as Edward)
-John has very Roman Godlike features
-John also has rippling muscles like Edward (on many of these answers I am bias but this is just an objective fact...I can give multiple stories to verify this fact if needed)
-John is very fast and strong (for a human)
-John can climb trees really well too

WAYS EDWARD IS BETTER THAN JOHN
-It would be a lot cheaper if John could just run everywhere really fast and not have to drive like Edward (although Edward likes to drive).
-It would be a lot cheaper if John would just eat wild animals for free...I mean really, John can out eat almost anyone!!
-It would be a lot better if John didn't have to sleep. His education probably wouldn't have taken as long and I have a feeling the house would be a little cleaner.
-It would be better if John couldn't get injured because he is much more like Bella in this area meaning he gets injured all the time!
-John does not have a very good sense of smell.

WAYS JOHN IS BETTER THAN EDWARD
-He is real!!!
-He is nice and warm to sleep by. A few months ago this would have gone in the above category but now that I am finally somewhere cold I enjoy having John next to me.
-John was smart enough to pick someone less annoying (me) instead of someone super annoying like Bella
-John doesn't drive too fast
-John can produce almost normal children rather than not even close to normal children ;)

I can't think of anymore right now but I'll add some if I can. Just think of poor John when/if he reads this ;)

I KNOW THAT THERE IS PAIN BUT YOU HOLD ON FOR ONE MORE DAY AND YOU BREAK FREE FROM THE CHAINS....

It was terrible...just don't ask...carnage!! TCU took BYU down. I'm going to hold on till Sat but if Texas loses to Missouri I won't be able to hold on anymore....

PS - You should never let your happiness depend on college football!!

FHE is lost on us...

So you may think that Family Home Evening seems pointless in our house because the boys are so irreverent. You may think it is meaningless because the boys just like to run around and not listen. They also just wander off and start something else. These things are true but don't happen has frequently as you might think. Our real problem is that their personalities are just too crazy for the lesson to apply as last night really showed us. We were learning about the Atonement and our object lesson was about "drinking the bitter cup." John filled two bowls, one with propel and one with vinegar. After reading the scriptures about the Atonement we asked the boys to try the different "cups" to try and understand what the scriptures meant. This is where it started to deteriorate. The boys liked the vinegar! They wanted to keep tasting it. We had just been giving them little sips off a spoon but then Seth grab the whole thing and started drinking the vinegar. Eventually he started choking on it but then the other boys got mad because Seth took all the vinegar and they wanted more. Hmmmm...so they drank up the vinegar and needless to say the bitter cup wasn't so bitter after all. I guess we should have seen this coming based on the fact that straight mustard and lemon juice are two of their favorite things to get out of the fridge and "drink."

HOOK 'EM HORNS BABY!!

After a day like today there is going to be a big shake up in the rankings!! See ya OU, LSU, and MIZZ...here comes the Longhorns (and Cougars!!)
