So much to do..... So little time

Our little family has been so crazy busy! We just can't find enough time in the days or weeks to get all that we need and want to done. We'll give you a little update: Denise has been getting busier at Waves and it's going to get even busier now that the holidays are coming. Softball is over and we all had lots of fun. Boston sure had fun going to the games and playing with everyone. The Red Sox have finished another season and we've still got our Utes playing tough! Cody is definitely looking forward to wrestling starting next Monday and so begins another crazy season. Boston is talking up a storm. It just amazes us some of the things he's saying. Last night Denise's was trying to fake him out with something so Boston told her "Duh Mom". It was so funny. He also says "No mom, I do it" or "No, you do it" a lot. He is definitely a bossy little boy. He is very polite though. He says "thank you" for everything and "your welcome" if we tell him thank you. We don't even have to tell him to do either. It is so stinking cute. Grandpa Rich and Cody have been teaching Boston wrestling moves. He's learning how to do them and how to get out of them. It definitely makes them proud.

Firefighter Museum
A few weeks ago we took Boston to the firefighter museum with some of our cousins. Koby, CariAnn, Kolter, Kiah, and Porter came down from Logan with Bill and Bonnie Saurey (Koby's parents) to visit. We don't think Boston understood what everything was but he had fun playing with his cousins.

Taking a break to chill.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

We hope everyone had a happy Halloween. We sure did. Boston went to Grandma Diane's work at the District Office in the morning in his costume. He was dressed up as the cutest bat ever! Everyone loved him and couldn't help but put candy in his bag. We then went to Cody and Grandpa Rich's work at the high school to show off a little. Again, lots of candy. After Cody got off work we went to the Trick-or-Treat on Main where you go to the stores. Boston's aunt Lauren came with us (who was dressed up as a dead prom queen). Boston did not want to walk at all. He had to be on Cody's shoulders the whole time. After that we went to our ward Trunk-or-Treat. We had never been to one before so we really didn't know what to expect. TONS of people! The whole parking lot at the church was full of cars and you went to every car to trick-or-treat. Again, Boston wouldn't walk with Lauren so he was up on Cody's shoulders the whole time. We couldn't believe how many people went. Next year we'll be better prepared. After the Trunk-or-Treat we had to do a few visits to family who of course had special treats for Boston. At the end of the night Boston crashed. He was so tired and so was mom and dad. Here's a few pictures of the fun day.

GO REAL!
As you all know we are huge Real Salt Lake fans. We went to their first playoff game on Saturday and it was great. They won 1-0 over Chivas. The ref's were TERRIBLE but luckily in the 90th minute we scored! It was great. Let's just hope they can keep it up. Boston went with us to the game. He's always a little hesitant about getting down and walking around at first so he just stays in our seats. Once he becomes a little more comfortable it's hard to keep him still. Rich, Diane, and Chad were sitting above us a couple rows so Boston kept waking back and forth between us so he could play in the aisle.

Go Real Salt Lake!!!

It has been a while since we have made a posting related to sports, so we figured we would give a shout out to our favorite soccer team Real Salt Lake. Following is a video that they have made to promote the first ever playoff game for Real Salt Lake. We have already got 10 of us going, so if you would like to go with us, give us a call ASAP because we can get tickets for really cheap since we are season ticket holders.

6 Years Already?!

I just can't believe that Cody and I have been married for 6 years already. When I've mentioned it to a few of my clients they always say "has it gone by fast or slow?". I would have to say definitely fast. I guess when you are blissfully happy time just flies. Can you believe that Cody and I started dating 11 years ago! It's crazy to think that it has been that long. Cody likes to say that it would have been longer if I would have said yes to him in 7th grade when he asked me out and I told him no. I just tell him "do you really think that we would have still been together?". I think he just likes to point out that he liked me first and ever since 7th grade. It has been wonderful to be married to your best friend. We celebrated our anniversary on October 3rd by going out to dinner. Grandma Diane watched Boston so we could have a nice dinner alone. Life has been so crazy for us that it was nice to be able to slow down for a second and be together. I can't even express how thankful I am to have Cody as my husband and best friend. He has made my life complete. He always makes me feel so special and he works so hard to provide for our family. I love watching him with Boston. Cody is such an amazing father. I know Boston loves him so much (even though Boston sometimes calls him "neese"). I am so thankful that I have been so blessed to have Cody as my husband. I love you with all my heart babe!!

I know you all wanted to read that mushy stuff so here's what's been going on with our little family. Cody is EXTREMELY busy at school. It's Homecoming Week at THS so as you all may remember LOTS of activities..... and Cody loves going to as many as he can and Boston and I go to. Monday I don't really remember what was going on. I was recovering from being sick all day Sunday. I think I was only awake for about 2-3 hours. I'm glad that passed. On Tuesday, Cody took money for the Homecoming pageant and stayed to watch that. I went over to my dad and Robin's and played Bunco. It was a lot of fun. Boston had tons of fun over there because he got to spend all night with his favorite person "Lor Lor" (aunt Lauren). Wednesday night after I got done at the salon I grabbed dinner, picked up Boston, and went to the Powder Puff football game. I was completely bummed that we didn't get to do that when we were in high school. It looked like fun. After the game they had Quik Witz come do a show. Do any of you remember going to see them in SLC? They are still so funny. Every time we see them we still think of Mark Luper. You should work there Mark!! Anyway, tonight we would be going to the bonfire with Cody and the faculty-student softball game (by the way, we didn't get to do that either!) but we've got Real SL opener at the new stadium. Got to pick your priorities right. Tomorrow we've got the Homecoming parade and then the football game. Well, that's life being married to a high school teacher. On top of all of that, the Red Sox are doing AWESOME! (Manny Who?!) and we've got to keep cheering on our Utes! Oh, and Cody has just reminded me that wrestling starts in November. Crazy life huh! Good thing Boston can keep up and if he can't then there are lots of grandma's and grandpa's close by.

I do it!

Lately it seems Boston's favorite words are "I do it". The independence thing can be frustrating. He says it with everything. We have to let Boston try first and then he'll get mad because sometimes he can't do it and then we have to help him, but still make him feel like he's doing it on his own. He's a very stubborn and independent 2 year old. We definitely don't mind that he likes to brush his teeth on his own. He does it every night. We told Boston there are monsters in his mouth and he needs to brush them out. To let us know he's ready to brush his teeth Boston points to his mouth and says "monsters". He'll open his mouth to have us look while he's brushing to have us check and see if they are still there. After he's done it for a while (it's more him chewing on the tooth brush then brushing) we ask him if we can check and we tell him we can still see some and he'll give either mom or dad the tooth brush to get them out. That's the only way we can get Boston to brush his teeth. What ever works right.

When Boston wakes up from his nap he is so cuddly.

Boston definitely loves his daddy.

Cody's parents just re-did their kitchen, bathroom, and living room. It has all turned out so nice. They got new carpet in their living room so they gave us their old carpet so we can put it downstairs. Our basement in unfinished so this weekend we layed out the carpet so that it covers up the concrete and we'll have a place to relax and Boston has a nice play area. Boston LOVES it. We are down their a lot hanging out and playing. We used up half of our basement and the other half we have all our boxes and storage stuff.

This is Boston's half. He's got lots of toys to play with but his favorite is his basketball hoop.

This is the other half where we like to hang out and relax.

Boston is such a big boy.

Boston is showing you that he is 2.

Boston is pretty good at basketball. He loves to dunk.
