My Boys



It was our Primary Program yesterday. They usually make me a little teary eyed, but this year Kolton was so onery and didn't want to do it, so he stood behind the tallest girl in our primary during every song so we couldn't see him sing. What a stinker! Kyle was as proud as ever, and sang well. These two boys are polar opposites. I'd like to think that Kyle is more like me. I'm sure Grandma Peggy would agree that Kolton is Kasey's clone.

Kyle and Valintine (Val-en-teen)


So Kyle has made a new friend, Valintine, pronounced like above. He begged me for weeks to have him come play. We went to pick him up, and I was humbled by the way he lived. 8 people living in a run down little trailer, which his mom keeps spotless.
The first thing Kyle said to Kasey when we walked through the door was "Hi Dad, this is Valintine, and he lives in a trailer." All we heard from the play date was Kyle trying to imitate Valintine's Spanish accent, and now when we read scriptures he tries to pronounce words he doesn't know with a Spanish accent. So funny! (It doesn't help that my children would rather watch Nacho Libre than eat or breathe.
Yesterday Kyle said to me: "Mom, Valintine is so lucky! He can just hook his house up to a truck and move to a different trailer park whenever he wants. I wish I could do that!

Halloween




Hallloween seems to be such a busy day at our house. With Mog's birthday, school carnival, trunk-or-treat, and then trick-or-treating we're all pretty thrashed by the end of the day. My boys each had 2 costumes this year. Kolton was originally supposed to be Anikan Skywalker, but he came home from school the day before Halloween crying because he had convinced himself that nobody would know who he was. We ran to K-mart and bought a 50% off vampire cape, so that everyone would know what he was at the school carnival. Kyle was a clone trooper from Star Wars, but after the school carnival he wanted to be the Vampire and get his face painted, so we did a total costume change for Trick-or-Treating. Kolton reverted back to Anikan and Kyle was a Vampire! Morgan dressed as Cyndi Lauper, and Kayla is all grown up, and didn't wear a costume this year.
