If I get hacked one more time....

I don't know what I'll do. A few days ago my gmail account was hacked into, and then yesterday I tried to sign onto my facebook account. I was told my account had been disabled, and when I sent an e-mail to the service people they told me "you can not have a fake name, your account has been deleted and our decision is final" So I went to make a new account after I complained to Chase for a while, and they let me sign back into my own account. What's up with that? Did facebook get hacked? Or did I? And why did they let me sign back onto my account? These are all questions that will never be answered because facebook doesn't like talking to people. So now I'm trying to put new passwords on stuff, which means I forget my passwords now and sign in until I get locked out of my bank account or credit card and then I have to re-set them again.... On a good note I had lots of coupons to get 4 free photo books from Shutterfly. So we made one for Collin, one for Landon, and one for our family. They look great. :)

Keep him in mind

I know- two posts within like 30 minutes?

All you parents who have a girl that could marry Collin in about 19 years or so keep him in mind.
While I was vacuuming a big spider ran across the floor. I ran over to it since I already had the vacuum out and everything. Collin didn't see the spider, just saw me running and ran to me, stepping on the spider in the process. It just slowed it down, so he ran back and accidental stepped on it again. So all I had to do was vacuum up the poor squished spider.

He's a keeper. He squishes spiders for me and can dance and sing like nobodies business.

New pictures

His shirt says Dad's rock star

He had a red guitar on his shirt

Got some pictures done at Sears today cause I had a great coupon. I really liked the idea and I think I'm going to dress them up the same and go to Kiddie Kandids tomorrow cause I have another great coupon and see if I can't get better pictures. The lady just couldn't get Landon to smile. Anyway, Collin is awesome. I love watching him play his "tetar" (guitar). The color is really off cause I scanned them, but the prints aren't that great either.

Also-

Landon is CRAWLING. This is 4 months earlier then Collin. He gets hurt a lot since he just kind of throws himself forward right now which leads to a lot of face plants. But he does pretty good. He got his first tooth as well. He sticks his tongue out all the time feeling his tooth. Its really funny and cute.

Leaves and digging

I am really really trying to take more pictures of Landon. I got two free Shutterfly photo books and so I put Collin's together and then went to do Landons and felt so bad. Granted I had 2 years worth of pictures for Collin and only 7 months for Landon, but I only had like 10 that I felt like I could put in a picture book, where with Collin I was fitting 6 or 7 to a page just to fit them all in. So sad. So I took him outside in the freezing cold and took some pictures of him.

He is so fat. Gosh.

This afternoon Collin asked if he could go outside. I gave him a shovel and his dump truck and he stayed busy for like 45 minutes. It was amazing. That never happens. It was freezing cold outside, but he just stuck to it and filled his dump truck like 5 times.

We tried to get their pictures taken today, but got to the studio late and they gave our spot away. So we'll try again on Friday.

The house next door to my mom's is for sale. We are so sad that we can't even try for it. It is a cute little house with a fantastic back yard.

Other then that we're just excited for Thanksgiving and to see Chase's family and our two cute new nephews! Can't wait!!

Forget about it

My kid is the best dancer ever. Wait until about 40 seconds in. Then he really gets into it. And I love the chicken strips he's holding.

He just goes crazy in this one.

Their room is DONE!

Its DONE!! There are things that I would still like to add but I am refraining myself. Don't want it to be too busy.

Collin was supposed to be in bed. The blanket hanging is a panel we bought at the store.
I made this with my Cricut. I have to admit I was really excited.

Here's our little sitting monkey.

The tree. We just finished this tonight. I cut out the giraffe a long time ago. We just thought of adding the tree a little bit ago.

This was Chase's monkey

I cut this elephant out at the same time of the giraffe. I am actually really proud of my animals as I am not very crafty. But they came out really well.

These are just random covered canvas's that are above their closet door

We bought some animals to add to the room- an elephant, tiger, and lion that stand up. We also have a rocking elephant and a kangaroo.

So even though I don't know that Collin really gets it and will probably want to re-decorate his room soon enough (which I have to admit that I really enjoyed this so I wouldn't mind it) but it was so fun doing this.

Halloween

Landon was a bat, he was SOOO cute and his face looked super fat

Our vampire family minus our bat. He fell asleep before we got dressed.

Collin looked crazy with black hair. As long as he had chocolate chips in his mouth he stood still for me to spray it both Friday for Chase's work party and Saturday for trick-or-treating

We had lots of fun going trick-or-treating. Collin was not the best about getting his costume on, he just wanted to play trains instead. So we had a little bit of a melt down. But once it was on and we were out trick-or-treating he did good. The best part was the people would always lower the basket of candy to let him pick and he would ALWAYS pick something with peanuts. Butterfinger, Peanut m&m's, Snickers. So the first house I almost said- wait, lets pick something different! but I was worried the people would think I would be trying to pick his candy off of what I liked. And since Chase and I would be eating most of it anyway, I just let it be.

Other than that we are just trying to get enough sleep to last though the day with two boys who just have a hard time sleeping. Landon just keeps waking up and has a really hard time sleeping starting around 4 until about 7:30. He'll be awake for an hour or so, then sleep for 45 minutes, than wake up again. I usually bring him up to my mom, which I am so thankful for, but I feel so bad that 7 months after he's born I still am dealing with him not sleeping.

Collin on the other hand has a chronic cough that comes every year about this time and lasts for the next 7 or 8 months. So that wakes him up during the night and he comes and gets in bed with us. He also usually wakes up for the day by 6 at the latest, but I guess that means he might fall asleep earlier now because he's so tired. I guess we'll see how this years cough plays out.

Tractor ride

There was a great pumpkin patch that we went to. They had free tractor rides (we did two) and a small hay maze and a corn...thing. It was a pit with a bunch of corn in it. It was really fun.

Chase and the loving kangaroo

The cute baby goats. I want them.

Stu and his kids burying Collin in corn

-update-

Chase LOVES his job. The work is something he enjoys and he really gets along with the people he works with. Its been great.

This post is way overdue. We have been busy busy. Hopefully we'll have some good pictures from Halloween- Collin is getting sick so hopefully he'll be over it by Saturday. I have been decorating the boys room since we're going to be here for a while. Its super cute. All sorts of animals and cute stuff. I'll take pictures when I finish up. I'll be doing several posts over the next few days, so check back for fun pictures!

Finally!!!

Chase got a job!! He got the call yesterday letting him know his first day would be on Tuesday. This will be a great job. He applied for it the day after we got home from Arizona and it has just been a good experience for him interviewing for this job. He found out that he knows a few people who work at Propriety Solutions and has really liked the people he has met so far. It comes with benefits (yea!) and is here in Provo (yea!).
Also, on Monday we found a crib for a really good price and decided to buy it for Landon. He hasn't been sleeping at all and I felt like it was because he was still sleeping in a play pen, which isn't very comfortable. The first nap was like 2 hours long, and then the 2nd nap was 2 hours, and then he slept all night (he woke up once but I just put his plug in his mouth and he went back to sleep). We also moved him into Collins room, and Collin just sleeps right though him crying.

Anyway, I feel like things are working out just how they should, and we are so blessed. It could have been a week or more before we found out about this job. But now we will be able to pay our bills and have the money we need to drive to Arizona for Thanksgiving. Prayers are answered.

Jacob

I get to post these first because I have the computer that has the pictures on it. I took Jacob's 6 month pictures today. He is so cute. Now I'm going to have to take more pictures of Landon. I would take pictures of Collin to but there is no way he will sit still enough for any pictures right now.

He was getting kind of tired... but looked so cute!

Witches

Collin decided tonight that he is scared of witches. Great. I have actually been a little worried about Halloween this year. I'm not sure that Collin is really scared of these things. But he says he is. We've tried to be careful of what we've shown him that is about Halloween so that he hasn't gotten too scared. But I have shown him some shows that explain what we do on Halloween, which do have witches. Ug. I guess we'll see how Halloween goes this year. I'm going to post some pictures tomorrow of Landon's Halloween costume. It is fantastic.

So frustrating

http://www.abc4.com/content/news/state/story/Gay-rights-organization-calls-on-Elder-Packer-to/b4DnYMyhWE6kmYEABmndxA.cspx


They said on the news that as of 10:00 Monday night over 400 people had signed up to come to the protest. This is insane. I'm trying to keep my anger under control. It's hard to see these people who are so wrong to attack Elder Packer.

Pictures of Landon

Took some pictures of Landon finally. Ummm, he is ridiculously cute. Now if only we could get him to sleep at night...

Our trip

I actually wrote this last Saturday but I was waiting to get some pictures to post. But I lost my camera on the trip. So no pictures from the trip. I've cried probably 3 times since I figured out that its gone.

We got back from Arizona on Thursday night. We left Sunday afternoon, and his interview was on Monday morning. In Chase's words "it was the worst interview I've ever had". He said they would ask him a question and he just couldn't think to answer. So on Tuesday we heard back that he wasn't invited back for the 2nd interview. We hung out in Phoenix on Tuesday, going to the big Children's Museum and the Sea Life Aquarium. They were both amazing. It was really fun. After that we left to drive to Snowflake and stayed there on Wednesday. We left about 12:30 Utah time on Thursday and when we stopped for dinner in Kanab I accidental locked the keys in the car. So we had a longer stop then we planned, but we were able to call someone and get back on the road to be home by 11:00. Collin woke up on Friday morning and as I followed him upstairs he said "lets go get in the car..." I laughed and said we didn't have to go in the car anymore.

Collin is awesome

Only update about Arizona: we figured out that if Chase were to go interview for the job in Arizona he would have to quit his job here since its not likely that he could get a week off work right now. To be honest we're stuck in a hard place- does he quit his job which is not something he loves and does not make enough to go interview for a job that he may not get?

On to Collin. We've been doing some potty training here and there, but yesterday was the day. We had finished our last box of diapers and decided that he was ready. So we pulled out the underwear and did it. Yesterday he had 1 major accident and 2 little ones. Today- clean underwear all day. For real. No accidents. And by the end of the day he was running to the bathroom, I didn't even have to ask him. It was a good day for Collin. I'm sure we'll have our moments- church, store, car... but he's doing good.

Landon still isn't sleeping. Its really....fun...
