Clay in his pooh costume, obviously didn't want
to cooperate for pictures.

Clay as Max from Where the Wild things are

This was the only spot with Clifford that Clay
could reach. I didn't realize it would look kind
of funny as a picture.

Here is part of the pumpkin walk. All of the
people in them had pumpkins. They were all
pretty creative. Clay really liked this one
because of the tractor.

beginning of the pumpkin walk.

Last week we went to the pumpkin walk in North Logan. Clay didn't like the pumpkin walk itself so much but he did like playing with the toys at the end. For Halloween we dressed the boys up as Winnie the Pooh and Tigger. Clay wasn't to impressed but he kept his costume on. My mom and dad had come from a doctor's appointment in Salt Lake so they spent the evening with us. We went to our ward Halloween party. I was impressed that Clay actually ate some of his dinner before going to play the games. They had musical chairs, a fish pond and a bobbing for doughnut booth. He really liked all of them. Then we headed home to pack a suitcase for Clay. My parents really wanted him to spend the week with them. My aunt is getting married this next weekend so we will meet up with my parents then. My mom has called me everyday to report that they are having a lot of fun. We will see if she feels the same by the end of the week! Saturday morning I was in charge of Stake baptisms. I took Broden with me so Shane could study and he was perfect and slept the whole time. After baptisms, Shane, Broden and I headed up the hill for the USU football game. It was a really good game and they actually won Hawaii! Broden actually enjoyed this game which was nice since we usually only last an hour and he is ready to go home. It was a fun and busy weekend. I miss Clay, it is defineitly quieter around here. It sounds like he is having fun though and with any luck my mom will bring him back potty trained!

Good News!

Grandma and Broden

Broden has become quite the little chub. We
figured out that if I gained as much weight as
he has in 5 months I would weigh over 300
pounds!!! He sure is a happy baby though.


I haven't posted for awhile but nothing really spectacular has happened. The boys and I went to Star Valley this weekend to visit my mom. My dad and brother were gone the whole time elk hunting. It was good timing because my sister had time off school and Shane needed some time for some hard core studying. Qualifying exams for the doctorate program are coming up at the beginning of November. The boys are not very helpful to him when it comes to studying. So we decided to give him some quiet time. It was fun to go home and visit for a few days.
Last April, Shane went to Huntsville Alabama to launch the rocket that he and his teammates built. They entered it in the NASA university student launch initiative and won 1st place. As their prize they get to go to Florida and see the Endeavor shuttle launch. Shane's parents told us that for Christmas that they wanted to pay my way to go with him. We will be taking Broden with us but I am very excited!

Highlights

Thinking about it....

mmmm...Nevermind

This is how Clay listened to conference

Our Happy Boy


Well our week has been pretty normal, but I thought I would blog the highlights. You will see in most of the pictures that we started Broden on cereal. He can't quite decide on whether he likes it or not. It's hard to tell especially when he spits the same bite out 54 times. He was happy trying it though.
My brother came down on Wednesday and spent the night. The boys loved having someone other than Shane and I to play with.
Last night we went to the Aggie game against BYU. Of course I forgot my camera. I would have loved to take some of Clay. It was funny how he would watch people and then do what they were doing. So if someone he was watching was clapping he would clap. If someone was yelling he would yell. It was pretty funny to watch him. He stayed the entire game. Broden didn't last quite as long.
