private

ok I know I have threatened this before, but after watching oprah yesterday, I am for sure making my blog private. so if you want to continue peeking into our life please leave me your email address...............

soo blessed.......

I can't believe that these beautiful boys are mine!

what happens next?...........

my friends, I shall tell you........... After this picture was captured, Owen decided he needed to relieve his bowels and pooped in my hands! He then thought he would help wash it off by piddling everywhere! He might look like an innocent little angel, but I think he might be a little prankster like his 2 funny brothers!!!

owen is a wee supermodel!!!!

A very talented friend from my ward is practicing her photography skills and needed to borrow a cute little newborn......

I can't believe I didnt know him 2 weeks ago, and now he is my world!

(dont worry I was sitting right beside him!)

gone camping..................

Kyle and Brody have been having to entertain themselves alot lately (since I spend alot of time resting, and breast feeding) This morning I heard them in the bathroom, and this is what I found................................








They decided to go camping in the bathroom! Please notice kyles table (oh how hygenic)

This is just a sweet picture of kyle with his new brother that he simply adores!

eviction day!

On Tuesday 24th March 2009, Our sweet little Owen Grant was born. we are so in love!
weighing 7lbs 6 and 19.5 inches long welcome home baby!

not a pretty pedicure...........

On valentines day, mark bought me a giftcard to a beauty spa to get a pedicure. I LOVE pedicures! I had my first ever pedicure here in america, and it was so heavenly, such a special treat! I decided I would save my giftcard until nearer the end of my pregnancy, so I could truly enjoy my relaxing treatment, (and have pretty toes to look at whilst in hospital).
My c-section is scheduled for next Tuesday at 7.30am, and we are soo excited to meet this special little boy. I have been thinking all week about making an appointment to get my feet beautified, but last night all my plans went down the drain!
We were shopping in costco and as we were loading up the car with all our shopping, Mark stood on my bigtoe! I told him he was standing on my foot and so he quickly removed his obnoxious fat shoe from my poor defensive toe, taking the majority of my toenail with him! seriously... my toenail was completely off standing straight up (just where it was barely connected) it was horrifying! Mark wanted to take my straight to urgent care, but I really didnt want to pay $50 for something I thought we could fix ourselves, so I tried to push the toenail down into place, but that thing was not going anywhere!! So we went to urgent care where the doctor took the whole nail off!!! It is soo ugly and it stings like crazy! so much for my special pedicure! poor mark was soo sorry, he looked like he was about to cry, and I am having fun being served hand and "foot".

Brody knows his colours!

Today Brody came up to me and said... "you don't like guns?" and I said "no I don't like guns!" he thought for a second and asked.."you like pink guns?" and I answered "no I don't like any guns!" he took another second then stuttered "but but but my throw-up is green!"

it's not me...........

Yesterday Kyle kept passing gas, and after ignoring several of his"toots" I finally told him..."kyle could you please stop pumping!" to which Kyle said....." Its not my fault, Heavenly Father keeps making me!"

Kyles latest question.......

Whilst driving home from the doctors office........ "mummy, Do old people have tongues?"

McKyle and McBrody...........

Today is "Rabbie Burns day" (Robert Burns birthday)

Its a big deal in Scotland and all the kids all over scotland recite Scottish poetry. We also have a traditional Scottish dinner which consists of haggis neeps and tatties (turnip and potatoes) It is absolutely delicious and soo much fun. We do scottish country dancing and wear tarten. I miss Scotland today!

I dressed my boys in the most scottish outfits I could find in my house they are not completely authentic but I live in america and who would ever know? I had to bribe Kyle into his "girl dress" with a starburst treat. Brody needed no encouragement at all and even asked for some "lippy on" once he was dressed (oh dear!)

my conversion to oranges.......

I have never really liked oranges! I just don't like food that takes an hour to get into, and oranges are just not worth the effort in my eyes! but after reading cheryls tribute to an orange, I thought I should try one of these famous fruits she raves about. I tried my first ever pure bred navel orange this morning and..... oh baby I am converted! I could think of nothing else all day and even persuaded my ever willing hubby to go with me to the source of such delightful juicy oranges. His aunt has 10 acres of land filled with citrus trees, and she is kind and generous enough to share her wealth with us. So we went with the boys and had a really fun time picking till our hearts content. It was really muddy and I kept sliding into squelchy dirt and even lost a shoe, all the while screaming and giggling (apparently I was acting too girly for kyle) because he said (very matter-of-factly) "see this is why you shouldn't come with us!" then he added... "Is there a sidewalk or something you could stand on?" sensing I was mildly offended by Kyles remarks, Brody said..." but I like your pants!"
I am so out numbered with boys but I appreciate that they are wired differently from me, and trailing through mounds of mud and dirt and climbing up orange trees is very serious business and should be treated with dignity.

doctor brody

Ok there is no way I am going to be able to do justice to this story but I have to make an attempt, I am laughing my head off!!!! (outside preston temple england)

Brody took a nap this afternoon which is never good news when it comes to bedtime! So after Kyle dozed off Brody sneaks out his bedroom and makes his way over to me on the couch. I am laying there and Brody starts examining my baby belly. He then says (in his very low voice with a slight stutter) "uuh lets lets uuh take the baby out" and I said go on then, so he puts his chubby little hands on either side of my tummy and starts heaving and grunting. He then lets me know...."uuh the the the baby heavy" He sat for a moment and then said..." I I I get some scissors?" I told him.... "I dont think thats a good idea," to which he responded... " uuh uuh I get a knife!" and I told him again No that will hurt mummy, He thought for a minute and then decided " uuh uuh I get a blue knife?" (which is his little plastic knife) I am totally laughing by now and thought I might go along with him so I said ok. So off he scuffles into the kitchen and comes back with his blue plastic knife and with a very serious face he begins surgery. He gently runs his knife back and forward on my tummy. Looking a little defeated he has another idea.... and off he scurries back into the kitchen drawer and brings with him his yellow plastic knife, and the procedure resumes. I cannot believe how focused he has been on this challenge, and even as I am typing this he has come over several times and lifted up my t'shirt and attempted to perform a c-section on me! This is a boy with ambition, Is he a future surgeon? Only time will tell, but as for now.... I think he is just soo lovable and cute I Love you Bro-bro xxxx Ok bedtime!

funny kyle

This is our conversation in the car on the way back from ikea.........


Kyle: I really wanted a hotdog from ikea

Me: I know you did but sometimes the answer is just No!

Kyle: My answer is never No!

Me: Ok, are you going to tidy your room when we get home?

Kyle: Only one of my answers is no and then a hundred yes'

Me: Ok are you going to have a bath tonight and let me wash your hair?

Kyle: Em..... that would be a no!

(me and mark are totally trying not to laugh)

Me: Are you going to start eating your vegetables?

Kyle: Hmmm another No! Ok there are 5 no's


Yep I think I made my point!

We found SNOW!!!!

Em.... what are these things on my hands?

Come on Brody.... Its fun!

"Go slower Kyle!" " I caaaaaan't!

" That was pretty fun!"

"I told you Brody! Lets do it again!!!!!"

another funny from kyle...........

1st- Last week he had diahorrea, and I told him to tell me when he needed a poop (which he did) I asked him if it was runny? and he said.."no its a slow one!" I was happy things had gone back to normal, but just as I was leaving the bathroom, Kyle corrected himself...... "actually, it came shooting our like a meteor!" em...ok kyle!

2nd- (and this is my favorite) It was just me, Kyle and his cousin Sam driving home in the car. The boys were happily chatting, and I put on one of my cd's, I began singing loudly, ( I sometimes get a little carried away and start fantasising that I am on a stage somewhere entertaining millions) I must have been singing for about 20 minutes when, I was rudely brought back to reality! Kyle said... "Mummy, we dont like your songs!" (then worrying about my feelings he quickly changed his tone and added....) "But we like you though!!

I love my kyle xxx

plenty more fish in the sea............

Today we said our goodbyes to our new friend sushi. She passed away peacefully in the night. We have no reason to suspect foul play or suicide. She was only with us for a short time but was everything we would expect from a fish. We solemnly flushed her remains this morning. Kyle says that Santa will bring us another fish, but we reminded him that there are no fish in the north pole because it is frozen over, Unfortunately (for us) Kyle insisted that it is still possible to find live fish under the surface of the ice!!! (seriously... why is he so intelligent??)

farewell our beloved sushi!!

merry christmas from the pug boys xxxx

crazy cowboys...................

no we don't need the toilet! this is how we dance!!

new addition..........

we inherited this bad-boy at a christmas party! This was my white elephant gift (thanks cheryl)
I hate animals and they hate me! I had a fish once before, that commited sucuide so we will see how long he lasts!
