Cancun 2010 part II

"BOO BITS and KILLIAN QUIPS" 1

KILLIAN in the backseat riding home and out of the blue says:
"Boys like Dirt"  a pause
 "Girls Like Water" another pause
"DaDa said so!"

and from GAVIN this week:  "Mimi can I have a glass of H3O instead of H2O? Is that milk?"
"My coat is outside-in" .
And he has lots of questions about Santa, but he totally believes in the reindeer. I told him Thanksgiving Point was going to have Cupid & Comet there this month and maybe we could go see them.
He asked "Mimi, how can they get there without Rudolph leading the way?"
And yes he does say Mimi at least 100 times a day when he's with me. He never asks a question without addressing my name in front of it. I think it's adorable. Chelsea says all she hears all day is:
 Mommy, mommy, mommy...... ha

Quote of the Day

Went to my hairdresser of 8 yrs today. Told her we were going on vacation. She said " Even people like you, with No Problems, need to get away and relax.".  Ha Ha~  you can tell she's not the kind of hairdresser I spill my guts to....And is there anyone in the world that doesn't have some kind of problems????

The Frog and The Toad Play. Momma~Mimi Day.

Today Boo, Chelsea & I went to a play The Frog and The Toad at Kingsbury Hall. It was really cute. Boo's favorite was a couple of cute girls in it and he told us "Ooh, la la".  We also went to the Museum of Natural History to see the dinosaurs & bugs, lunch & NPS shopping. He asked us "Is today Mimi Day? and we told him it was Momma ~Mimi Day. 

Mimi Day 111710

Today Boo helped me put up Christmas Decorations. He asked me for the Midgets that go under the tree. I finally realized he meant Manger. That was his favorite part to put up. In the afternoon it was nice enough to go outside and of course he found one roly poly and some snails. They were his friends and he cut blankets & pillows for  them. He even decorated the pillows.

Baby K started a new daycare this week. He bumped Clays hat off and Said "Dada, Hat, Broken" .

Just heard it's supposed to be -34 with the wind chill in MT this week-end. Sending  warm thoughts to our Montana Kids!!!  Killian also told me he wanted Mimi for dinner. Ahhh

Mimi Day 111010

Boo and I had a good day. Went to NPS and after him asking for the 10th book, movie, toy, etc  he told me "Mimi, you know how I am when I come to NPS!"

We also saw Megamind in SLC at the big theatre.  Boo stayed awake the whole movie until the last 5 min and he fell asleep. But I'm sure he'll own it so it will be fun for him to see the end at that time. It was a good ending.
Clay sent us a video of Killian and everytime Clay would try to kiss him he would turn his head and say "DENIED".  It was so cute, but hopefully he won't deny me the next time I start kissing on him!

Children's Justice Center Fundraiser. It was 50's Night.

CTR~Choose the Right

Tom, Chels, Gavin & I all met at the bank in 3 seperate cars. As we were leaving Chelsea asked Boo who he wanted to ride to our house with. He thought a minute and said  "I think the right choice is MIMI!".
I think he's a smart boy!

Trunk or Treat was good, Haunted House was scary!.

Papa with hat & long hair, Boo in his SWAT gear.

We took Boo to a trunk or treat tonight and everyone loved his costume. He's a tough guy in it. After that we took him to the Stansbury High School Haunted House. They advertised as a Not to Scary fundraiser for the drama dept and when we paid we made sure we told them we didn't want scary. The drama teacher told us he saw us coming with Gavin & told the kids to tone it down.  Oh my gosh....the first scare right in the front door, Boo tried to walk right back out. I carried him through the whole thing & it was scary!!! I sure hope he doesn't have nightmares. It was great for teenagers. I wouldn't let him take his fake gun in. He told me that would have made him not so scared. 

 He also kept telling us he wanted to see a teenager. He acted like they were aliens or something... ha

Bottle hunting with Chels & Boo.

Officer Gavin putting handcuffs on Princess Emma

We went to a Haunted Western Village with Officer Gavin & Princess Emma last night.  If two kids were ever in the perfect costumes these two are it. Once Gavin puts the uniform on his voice changes & he's a policeman.  When we got to the haunted house Gavin went first, looked at the tombstones, put his arms out, and said  in his deep voice: "It's OK  They're Not Alive".  Hilarious. 

And he's still smiling!!!!

Baby K got bit by a mosquito last night when they were feeding Rose & this is what his eye looks like this morning. Tom said Tara shouldn't have hit the mosquito quite so hard. xoxoxoxo

Killian is still smiling & even said CHEESE when Clay took the picture, however Clay said he kept saying : "Ouchy, Kiss It"   Love that baby boy!

Hug A Tree

Boo is learning "Stop, Drop, and Roll" in pre school So I was telling him about "Hug  A Tree" in case he ever gets lost.
Last night we were at the Pumpkin Walk and out of the blue he says "There are no trees here, if I get lost should I just Hug Myself?"  Yep, he's got the concept!

Boo's last soccer game for 2010

The improvements from Gavins first soccer game until now are amazing. He loved playing soccer and his Dad was the fall coach. Next spring he is signed up for Soccer & T-ball.    

Mimi, Your Majesty.

Mimi Day and I wanted to go to Gardner Village and show Boo all the witches and Halloween Decorations. I called and asked him if he wanted to go and he said "MIMI, you know what I want to do!!!!"
So we stayed home, and fished.
But in between fishing he kept calling me your majesty. I thought that was pretty sweet until Tom came home for lunch and asked him what Majesty means. Gavin replied, "Like she gets me milk & cookies & lunch"
End of fairytale. I was his maid or servant, but  I guess that's what Mimi's and mom's do.  xoxoxo

My spur of the moment trip to Den. Oct 2nd and 3rd.

 Friday morning I was sitting at work trying to decide what I was going to do all week-end with Tom at a golf tournament. Then it hit me. Why not go to Denver? Nothing was keeping me home. So I got online booked a ticket & less than 24 hrs later I was there. Keep in mind we just returned from our road trip to Montana 3 days earlier & our suitcases were unpacked but still laying on our bedroom floor. I called Clay & told him and he said "You're getting spontaneous in your old age!". Then I called Chels and told her and she said "Why, are you mad at Dad? " ha  It turned out to be a great week-end. Lori picked me up & Lana was in town from KS selling her iron. It was a fun show. Mom had dinner for everyone Sat night & Sun Lori came back out for more shopping, lunch, and  a zentangle lesson. Then Mom & Dad took me to Red Rocks Sunday evening & to Amichi's Italian Restaurant. So back to work Monday afternoon, a little tired, an extra suitcase brought home & some iron that didn't fit in the suitcase sitting at Mom & Dad's until someone drives out. A fun week-end. I think spur of the moment trips are the best.

Lana wanted this antique "boat" so Lori & I carried it this far for her. I'm sure she'll do something amazing with it.

Lori & Lana Selling Iron like crazy!

Lori bought an antique Rocking Chair at the show that Lacey is trying out.

Lori & Lacey.

Mom, Dad and I went to Red Rocks & a wedding....ha

The best photographer in our family.

However this is a pretty good picture I took, if I do say so myself.

and last, but not least: Maycee

Montana Vacation for Clay's Birthday and moving/not.....

Tom, Chelsea, Boo & I went to Wendells cabin & spent the night. Tom & Wendell loaded up the horse corral and we headed to MT to help the kids move. We found out the night before that the people buying their house couldn't close for another week. We debated on going or not, then decided it was Clay's birthday, Boo was packed, and we were ready to go, so we went anyway. It turned out good for us. We helped pack a little, but we played a lot.



1st Stop, was Wendells's Cabin to get the Horse Corral.

 

We stopped to check out the Madison River.



Boo & Chels at the Madison River. Thanks to Boo being sick of riding in the car we stopped here & it was beautiful.

Ennis, MT shopping. We wanted the fish picture but it was a little to pricey.





Just hanging out on main street.

Papa bought Boo a cowboy hat so he'd be a true Montana Boy.

Abby Road, Ennis Style.

Uncle Clay & Boo at Giant Springs going to fish for some rainbow trout.

I think he has the McCarty fishing gene.

Even little fish are fun to catch.

Playground fun.

Unloading Rose's corral at the new house.

It looks like it belongs here!!!

Marching, Marching, Marching. Killians loves to march.

This kid can hit. Uncle Clay is the umpire.

Sharing Uncle Clays' birthday sundae at Jakers.

Playing at the hotel pool~or Clay's Birthday party. We were the only ones at the pool for a long time. Then two older, heavy woman walked in & Chels said "Here's the strippers!"

Uh Oh, I think they hit someone....

After swimming it was storytime.



All Boo has talked about is going to MT, seeing Baby K, and catching a rainbow trout. He wasn't disappointed. But he said next time he's going to fly, instead of drive.
