Partners in Crime

Don't let these innocent faces fool you, this picture was taken right after they dumped out all of Grandma's salt and pepper. I absolutely love the stage Carson is in now at 18 mos. It is so fun! He is really starting to talk, and loves to dance. Wouldn't it be great if we could all act as spontaneous as a 18 mos. old. Scream at the top of your lungs in the middle of a grocery store if your mad, dance no matter where you are if you love the song, really enjoy the little things in life such as fruit snacks, balloons, and icecream. Sometimes I want Carson to stay at this stage forever!

Smarty Pants

So today my 3-yr-old was standing on our couch playing his guitar and I said "Hayden get down from there, we don't stand on the couch." He responded, "But Mom I'm a rockstar and rockstar's have to be up high on the stage so the fans won't bother them." There you go, I stand corrected.

1.) I can't stay awake for the life of me if I start a movie after 10 p.m.
2.) I'm a bit of a germ a phobic or I should say I am an extreme germ a phobic. I carry antibacterial in my purse and I drive my fam a little crazy pouring it on their hands. Public bathrooms totally freak me out and I cringe if I have to take Hayden. I wash my hands at home several several times a day! I know I have a prob, I'm getting a little better since I have two little boys who are into getting dirty.
3.) I fold shirts a certain way and it drives me nuts if they are folded a different way. I attribute this to when I worked at Dillards for a couple years.
4.) I can not stand the sight of blood. I get lightheaded and queasy. I have a total respect for people in the medical field, I could never do it.
5.) I get really agitated if I have to pee. ( I don't know if I like this tag, I sound like a freak!)
6.) I'm really good at procrastinating, and then I get anxiety because I leave things to the last minute.

Halloween Party

We had a Halloween Party last Thursday night at Derek's mom's house with our family and friends and we had a ball. We ate pizza, had a pinata, and played lots of games with the kids. It was fun to see all the kids in their costumes and we got a kick out of seeing the adults dressed up too!

Family Fun

We have had a busy few days at the Thatcher house. Derek's sis Aimee and her kiddos are in from Seattle so we've been playing hard! Last Friday we went to Derek's cousin's wedding, the kids have been having non-stop sleepovers between Grandma's and our house, and we took the kids to Chuckee Cheese! We have had a great time, and we have more plans to keep us busy for the next few days. Here's some of our pics!

Snowbird

We spent the last week up at Snowbird in Derek's families timeshare at the Iron Blosam. We had such a wonderful week. Last weekend Derek's Mom, Dallas, Sarah, and Olivia came up and stayed Sat. night. We went to a great Mexican restaurant at the Cliff Lodge Sat. night and hit the Oktoberfest on Sunday. The rest of the week our family just relaxed, hung out at the playground and swimming pool. The boys had so much fun! We went on a hike and saw three deer, everyone appreciated that except for Carson who was getting pretty impatient with the rest of us staring at the mountain side looking at the deer. Tuesday we went down into the valley and when we came back up the canyon we nearly hit a big bull moose who was crossing the street, it was pretty scary, glad Derek's a good driver! We love Snowbird this time of year, it's so pretty! We can't wait to go back next year!
