{Per YOUR request....my sista, ERiN}

After the request of being able to see my 25 week belly...HERE ya go! Yes, I am probably just as huge this far along as you are at 37 weeks...although, I do not look at the scale or am not counting my calories as I'm pretty sure you do! So hopefully this just makes you feel better now being able to compare my belly to yours! :) I am NOT a fan of my own prego pics, but will do it for a sista who lives so far away and actually asked to see one...probably to make your day better :)

HaPPy ThaNkSgiviNG...AND HouSe Update!!!

Here we go....PICTURE OVERLOAD! :)
First we get to start out our Thanksgiving Day with a yummy Breakfast at my dads every year...always successful fun and food with a cute Santa we brought home this year.

Thanks Dad and Shan!
Then we switch off every year with Tysons dad and my grandparents. This year we headed to my Grandmas in Sandy. So good to see the family we never get to see and enjoy some MORE yummy and delicious food! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Tait!

THEN...we head up to the traditional Park City entertainment week/weekend of shopping, games, and just relaxing really while all the cousins get to play non-stop.

After starting our shopping at the Outlets at 9 PM this year...by 1:30 AM Braxton was hungry and ready for Hot Chocolate and Pancakes! So we stopped then headed home for MORE online Shopping! Which was SOOO nice...and not to mention maybe a little snack of some left over pie....hahaha
THIS is for my boys...every time they are getting undressed they kick their pants and underwear off their legs as HIGH as they can. Drews landed RIGHT there, up above the TV, perfect on the handle. We all thought it was hilarious! The boys loved it and were SURE proud!
Peyt, Drew and Dash were playing workers with the Westgate Binders and they would, shower, work and maybe eat? Anyway, this is them at their shower time, I thought it was hilariously cute!
and their binders...except Peyt must have had this day off! haha
While Aaron and Tys were watching the game, we decided to pile in Ems car and go for a 7 Eleven run...where we found out the little slurpees were FREE for "Purple Friday" introducing their new grape flavor! YUM! These cousins LOVED playing together every minute they could! I guess that's really what the Park City trip is for! :) OH and the good Outlet deals!
This little tired tired tired guy...sat on my lap and fell asleep in like 2 seconds. Love cuddling with my little boys! PS...don't mind me, I am WELL AWARE that I look or actually am I guess, about 50 LBS heavier with this little baby :) (yes, You know I am exagerating, but it sure feels like it!)
Cute cousins going over the ads, deciding what they want Santa to bring them...Peyt obviously didn't want to be interrupted.
More cuddling with a popcorn snack while watching Buzz!
Drew was SOOO excited to show dad what he wanted, he'd say "Dad, I like-a that one!" I think he pointed to everything on every page!
Well, that is it for our weekend fun in Park City! The boys LOVE going there and wanted to wait till the VERY last minute to leave. Thanks Mom and Bruce!

******HOUSE UPDATE******

(I understand this is more for us to have, to see before and after pics, so NO I am NOT trying to bore you!) We actually went on Thanksgiving in between meals to finish up on our floor (pics below) so I figured I might as well snap some of the inside while it was worker-free :)

This will be the baby's room...Drew played in their with the sheet rock dust forever...
the boys room to share
main bathroom
mud room/laundry
Master
Master bath

SOME very dirty boys! Oh well, at least they were super good :) Can't complain after sitting there for hours!

Our Basement floor...we are keeping half of it concrete again. The kids LOVED having it to ride their toys on and for playing. AND Tys is a pro at it, so why not let him show his awesome work!
Before
During...and yes, we had to measure/tape out all of the squares....
and then cover up the first color of squares and continue spraying
after spraying it all, peeling the tape and all the paper off...here it is!
We had to leave before he was done sealing it, but here is the start! I told him to do whatever with colors and designing it. I think he did an amazing job! Can't wait till it's ALL done~!

YEA for the house coming along!!! Now if the weather can just cooperate long enough, we can finish the exterior!!!

Well and a here's to hoping you had just as great of a Thanksgiving as we did and were successful on your shopping trips! :)

CuTeNESS

K I just think our boys are hilariously cute and so much fun so I had to post these real quick...

Heading out the door...and don't worry he brought his goggles and a broken shovel! haha
and Peyt with some sort of tin container filled with little toys.
and CuTe little cousins at Grandma Julies
They LOVE playing with Madi and I think she likes having them as cousins a little bit too :)

So Peyt has been asking ALL day to play in the snow. Before and After church he kept throwing snow balls or chunks at me and then got in a little snowball fun with Grandpa Bruce... Since Grandma was leaving to Park City, and talking about sledding I guess, Peyt brought his sled down and wanted to go sledding ALL night. Tys had told him he could play in the snow tomorrow...but when dinner came around, I wanted him to eat good and told him he could try ONE run down this tiny hill if he ate...
hahaha It worked! He ate and told Dad our secret and put on some soccer socks, cowboy boots, his hat, a scarf and a jacket to go with his shorts and t-shirt he was lounging in. Well, he did have fun and it was VERY humorous watching him try to go down this TINY hill...but he loved it and it made for a good laugh until his hands were cold and he never made it down the hill and finally decided on his own that tomorrow would work MUCH better :)

Hilarious boys! LOvE thEm!

JuSt a LiTTLe MoRe...YEA!

I wanted to hurry and post this so it was right behind our other progress...
Tys finally had a chance to get our front porch sealed. I think it turned out AWESOME! He is amazing and does amazing work!

Peyt just wanted to go down and watch Tys spread the dirt around in his skid loader. So he bundled up and after getting plenty of dirt blown on him, he then decided he wanted to sit in the car and watch him. It was really cute, cause he would say "I love dad, he is so nice" ... while talking about working on our house for us. He really appreciates his dad and looks up to him, it's really cute. I love to hear how thankful he is and he can't say enough times how "pretty" or "beautiful" or house is and how bad he wants to just live there. I love it!
And this is Mr. Drew...completely exhausted from our night on the couch. He's had a cough for awhile, but yesterday he had barely coughed until I think he ran around too much enjoying some fun time with his brother and then he ended up with a barking cough that kept him AND me up about every hour last night. So after he had some lunch and while I was making some pies, I found this little guy on the couch like this...comfortable? He doesn't even care :)

PRoGReSS!!!

We finally have some new progress and are coming along on our house. The drywall has started and after deciding not to wait for the heat to be turned on, we had them haul in their heaters and get going...so they SHOULD be done tomorrow or Monday. Anyway, I will have to get some pics of the inside, but for now this makes me happy just seeing our Front Door, Brick and ACTUALLY our garage doors are in too, but I didn't get a picture of those. They are flush door, and maybe I'm weird, but I really like them because they are different. The other ones we would have gotten had a 3-4 week wait. So I'm glad these turned out, just still talking Tyson into liking them :) More pics to hopefully come soon as our Stucco is ALSO SUPPOSED to be started this week...

AND believe it OR not, but we did have that garbage almost all cleaned up and then just like that it's piled up again! :) I promise!!!

*CLaSS PeT*

Peyton WAS SOOO excited that Jaxon pulled his name stick out and that he got to bring home "Peanut"... every day he would get in the car and tell me who got to take him home that day. They give a little notebook for you to write down what they did with Peanut. Peyt was so cute about it and would tell me what to write and had to approve what went on the paper. Something neat I learned about Peyt was how positive he must really be. I wanted to write at the end that he was sad to take Peanut back to school, he told me "No, I don't wanna write about being sad." and wanted me to write he was happy to have Peanut come. What an example! Love this little guy!
Peyt's drawing...I love the trunk on the elephant! :)
He made sure Peanut was always buckled in the car, way to take such great care of him Peyt!
I know you probably can't read this, but hopefully I can if he wants to remember.

Such a fun idea at Preschool to have the little class pet. Peyt loved it and can't wait for the snake he says they're doing next! :)

}NeW Name IDEAS{

HELP! Just wondering if anyone has heard these or if you think they're cute. I, myself, LOVE Kynlee...and how it is not very common. So that is what we're trying to come up with, is UNIQUE. SO here is for a couple we found last night with different spellings:

Ainsley
Ainslee
Ainsly
Ainslie

DIFFERENT huh? But cute?!?

--OR--

Kinzlee
Kinzli
Kinzley

Just curious what opinions are...I still have our cheesy poll to the right ( --->) though if you wanna vote for those! :) Kinda funny I just realized, maybe I am hooked on a "lee" name!

**LiTTLe FuN**

Just a couple pics to share real quick!
Since Grandpa Steve turned 50 this weekend, we decided to run a Birthday Treat up to him...although we didn't quite get 50 candles on the cake, you might have thought it did from the smoke, there was still plenty! So HaPPy BiRthDaY Grandpa...hope you had a great day! We love you!
This was Peytons cute card he made...he is still working on his "S's" can you tell??? So cute though, I had to have a pic to remember it!
and that is a "Go Broncos" for Grandpas favorite team.
and this pic is kinda hilarious...we trade off every Monday (usually) and get to have Tate come play...we had just gotten back from our house, where they played in the dirt and built the most creative house out there with wood and electrical scraps...I WISH I'd had my camera! Anyway, we got back and threw all of Peyt and Drew's clothes in the wash and then they decided to play "hunters" where they camped out and were "Dad friends" and slept, then woke up and went out hunting for ANY and ALL the stuffed animals they could find! They even ventured upstairs and I think my mom may be missing quite a few....haha I LOVE their imaginations! Kids are seriously so much fun!

BuSY!

And not much to show for it...running errands everywhere and not being home...or so it seems! :) At least I am finally feeling better, so I won't complain that we've been able to get things done. Updates on our house to come soon...it's coming along! YEA!!! But till then here is a few of the latest pics from being here...
We have been in the Scouts for awhile now, but I haven't ever taken pics with them. For our last activity we had a little cookout, learning to cook an "outdoor meal" This was the easiest thing we could come up with AND the boys, even our little guys, LOVED it! Even though Peyt looks scared for his life. haha
Since Nate and his Jill sweetie our far far away my mom is taking her turn watching these little rascals! :) They are so cute and so much fun, but A LOT of work...not that I've done much, but I can see how much work it is for my mom and would be for their own mom and dad. Too funny.



But Peyt and Drew have loved having them around and haven't left their side much of the time. Lots of sleepovers and FuN cousin time!
So a LITTLE of what we've been doing, nothing else is much worth posting since it's not too exciting...UNTIL I get some updates on our house, then I'll post again! :)
