Ben has teeth!

Ben broke one tooth on the bottom left and is working on the one right next to it. No more putting your finger in to chew on. It's so cute. I couldn't get a picture of it because I don't want to put my fingers near it. yeah for Ben! He got his first one way before Siena. We weren't expecting it so soon. It's good to have proof of because now I can have something to blame his crankiness on.

The Amazing Race...the best show EVER!

I am so excited for this show to be back on. It is my alltime favorite show. I get so caught up in it and get all anxious for the competitors, I even yell at the t.v. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. It's a good clean sunday show. It's about 10 teams traveling around the world competing in different challenges. The first one back to the pit stop at the end wins 1 million dollars. so cool. I would be horrible at it for many reasons, one I am awful at reading maps and directions and two I am too high strung for it. A couple of seasons ago I told Dave I would love to do it but I would only do it with him. He just said yeah...and left it at that. Meaning he would not want to do it with me. I'm just to dramatic for it, I would make good t.v. We all love the crazy people on it, that's why I watch. They also go to cool places. So much fun, so don't bother calling me Sunday night at 8. I will be busy!

This makes me laugh. what a cutie!yum yum black beans

stupid FIOS...I need to vent!

I know my grass doesn't look great but it's after Aug and it was a dry month. This picture doesn't do it justice of the big hole there. I didn't want to go out and take a picture with the workman standing there.
So this is what is happening to my beautiful backyard. I come downstairs in the morning hardly awake and not ready to greet workman to having workman in my backyard digging lines for FIOS.Don't mind knocking on my door or warning us. It's craziness! They dug two big holes in my yard one day and then we wake up this morning at 7. (that is early for us) to them digging more holes. It would be somewhat ok if they warned us or told us about it and if they laid the beautiful new grass back nicely, but they didn't. So I am so upset mostly about my beautiful yard that is now torn apart. They also put a box into the ground so we can't lay grass over that. If they had laid it another 2 feet over it would have been out of our fence. I am so mad! This FIOS better be worth it. And another thing the weather has absolutely been perfect and of course we can't just go out and sit in our backyard and enjoy it because we have people back there smoking and doing work that we didn't know about. CRAZINESS! the work better be done today!

temple day!

Siena has been talking about the temple a lot lately (thank you nursery teachers).So today we met grandma and grandpa there. We went to the visitors center and watched movies and watched the Cristus. She loved it. When we were going down the beautiful road before you actually see the temple she was looking for the temple all over saying it was coming soon. She ran right up to the doors of the temple and she knew that once we went in she had to be reverent. She especially liked the fountain in front and wanted to swim in it. It was a fun trip thanks grandma and grandpa for the fun trip.
Later that day grandma and grandpa came to our house where we were able to enjoy the beautiful weather. It has been so nice we were able to stay outside all day!

they keep themselves entertained

Somehow the week always seems to end really quickly. The kids are keeping me really busy. As you can see, Ben is crazy mobile and we have had to put up the baby gate. I hate the baby gate. So whenever we put Ben down on the ground he goes straight to the stairs and props himself to a standing position and just jumps up on the gate. Seriously this would entertain him for a long time. He is either there by the stairs or in the front foyer area trying to find crumbs on the floor or a shoe to chew on. It's so gross. Siena is getting better at entertaining herself by reading. It's very funny to hear what her stories sound like.
