Ben's Surgery

We have had some craziness at our house of late. Ben has enjoyed playing intramural flag football. His MBA team did very well playing against the young bucks. But in the middle of the season Ben hurt his right pinkie finger. He thought it was just jammed but 5 weeks later it was still bothering him. So I made him a doctor appointment and within a few days he had surgery! He had popped the tendon off his pinkie finger and they had to do a pretty major surgery to repair it. He actually has a button sewn to his fingernail. His right hand is now in a hard splint for 6 weeks...right through finals. I will be attending finals with him next week to be his scribe. Craziness! He has been so patient about it all. The end is in sight!

Ben is going to love that I posted this picture. This is right after surgery and all doped up. I need to post a picture of the button...it's pretty wild.

Wes is walking!

He is all over the place and has the bruises and smile to prove it!

Buddies

I love when I find my boys playing together...so cute!

Catching Up...Halloween Fun

Josh and I made some scary zombie treats. Josh is making a scary face.

It was pretty difficult to get a good picture of both of my dragons.

Kids Say...

The other night Ben and Josh were playing. Josh had had enough tickling and told Ben to stop right now. Then he said, "Remember Dad you need to be nice to me cause Santa is watching."

Getting Married....

Somehow Josh is starting to put together love and marriage. It is really funny the stuff he comes up with. If he sees somebody in a white dress he askes if they are getting married. It is scary how much he understands, we watched Hercules the other night (not one I would recommend) and Josh was asking if Hercules and Meg were getting married. Whenever Ben and I hug or kiss in front of him he asks if we are getting married. I have told him we are already married, and we got married in the temple. Then today when I was feeding the boys lunch he says to me,

"Mom I have a good idea. I think you are getting married again tomorrow. You are getting married to Daddy at the temple. I am going to hang out with Wes. I will feed him blueberries and cookies. He will love that. We will hang out while you and Daddy go to the temple and get married."

It was pretty funny. So he doesn't completely understand....but we probably should go to the temple, nothing like a little advice from your 2 year old.

My Sweet Josh

I am so far behind posting pictures, but they will come soon. I wanted to post about my cute 2 year old for those days when I forget how sweet he can be.
The last couple of nights Ben has been at school late so I have made dinner for just me and the boys. When Ben's not home our dinner tends to be fast and substandard. Josh started eating his dinner, making "MMMMhhh" comments with each bite.

Then he says, "This is so good. Thanks Mom for making me yummy dinner."
Me: "You're welcome Josh."
Josh: "That was soooo nice of you. I think I am going to give you a big hug for being so nice."

He proceeds to give me a big hug. I was trying not to laugh at how cute he was. The next night we had a very similar conversation. I don't know where he comes up with this stuff, but he really is a sweetheart.
