Time to KETCHUP!

Sometimes I feel like every post has to have pictures.  I have been thinking about this past year lots.  One thing I always feel the spirit telling me is NEVER GIVE UP!  Keep doing your best! If you want something done you have to make it happen! Thats the truth as of lately!  I've learned a lot more  to give my TIME to my children!  They are my most prized and precious possession (and Bryan).  Tonight I wrestled with hogan and we laughed our heads off!  what a blast!  He would stand up on my tummy while I laid on my back and try and jump down on me and we would giggle so silly! Then He would stand on my legs and I would count to three and would do a little jump.  He even tooted while playing and we laughed too!  Today he fell in a vent hole while we were working and cleaning our new house to move into.  I felt so incredibly bad for him.  Grandpa Call was quick to pull a band aid out of his wallet.  HE is always prepared!  (kind of like Austin from Backyardigans! inside joke)  We had to get Hogan to fall asleep this afternoon and so we drove around for awhile.  May wanted to come with me.  We took some movies back to the library and then I saw a sign for a farmers market.  So we found it at the park and we quickly ran out and found 2 large marge pumpkins perfect for carving for Halloween!! I LOVE pumpkin carving. It's always been a tradition in my family!  I love doing this for my kids!  Tonight at the dinner table we had german puffy pancakes and yummy potatoes.  Hunter was taking a drink from a glass and he squose it sooo tight it broke and glass had cut his tongue.  He bled for a long time tonight!  Bry went back over to the house to paint one room's ceiling and I told him I would stay and get the kids baths for church tomorrow.  I decided to give Hogan a haircut. I was proud of myself since it was the FIRST time EVer I've cut any one in my family's hair.  It was fun!  Hogi wasn't very happy with me though!  I can't believe he is going to be 2 in a couple weeks!  He is starting to talk more.  He can say DADDY, Water, NO, MINE, CAR, MOOOO, Ball, and whole bunch of gibberish!

The month of September was fun!  Bry had a fun birthday!  He has been spoiled rotten at work thats for sure! I made him his favorite Mexican cake, Tres leches, and he got 2 more cakes from work that same day too!  We went to In and Out for dinner.  He got 4 burgers put on one patty.  He ordered all the secret stuff on the menu! that was fun! We made him a doughnut man with bacon arms for his breakfast too that morning!!
We have seen 2 guys pass away that we both served missions with this past month.  My prayers have been sincere and I've had many days where I cried cause my heart hurt for their wives and how they must've been feeling after loosing their husbands.  The Lord knows us and our time here on the earth.

I got to go out to the Blue Lemon restaurant down in Alpine with all of the girls during the priesthood session for general conference this month.  Me, mom, Ali, Shelby, aunt Debbie, Shelby's mom, Alix (chey's wife), and Kayla (Aunt Debbie's other niece).  It was so fun!  We laughed about embarrassing moments we've all had!  We got to eat some yummy appetizers and the kids were awesome. I think they drank like 5 cups of lemonade!!

Anyway I have lots I haven't wrote about and I wish i have.....I love my life.  I love my family! I love that I get to move in less than 6 days out of my lovely apartment and actually have space to live in OUR NEW HOUSE! I love that I'm reading a book right now.  I love that my husband works so hard everyday! He has an amazing job and I'm grateful for all the endless blessings we receive.

ok Tchau for now!

Stuff in August!

May started her first day of FIRST GRADE!!!  She is our Beautiful GIRL!  I cried a little bit dropping her off cause she started ANOTHER new school.  She did so good and she told me how much she loved the first day of school! Her teacher is AWESOME!

 This is my Hogan Man.  He is known for hoarding all of his cars at the same time!!  Thats just him!

 This is my Hunter Man.  He has this amazing love for his bike and doing crazy tricks on his bike!!  He makes me laugh so hard.  Definently his prized possession is that bike of his!

He calls this the crazy turn where he falls over and gets super dirty in the dirt!!

 The playground!! This is one of my favorites because Hogan is obsessed with these shoes.  The first thing he does when he wakes up in the morning is to get his sandles on his feet!!  What am I going to do when winter comes?!?

 Bry is coaching May's Soccer team this year.  He's so patient with these girls!

 May and her friend Maya!

I love May's Bright pink shorts!

Alpine Days Fun Run/ SCIENCE EXPERIMENT

 Alpine Days is such a fun event for the Redding Family every year.  We started the tradition this year and I only have one pic on my phone. The 5K and the Toddler Trot!! I only have pics of the kids running the Toddler Trot.  This year Brittany and Tim were here so they got to run the race with their cousins!  Bry ran the 5K with me and we ran together and it was a blast.  I ran the whole way and finished in 31 Min 45 sec.  Bry was 15 seconds ahead of me! Miles, Caden, Ali, Britt and Tim all ran the 5K.  I love my family!!!

 

ALMOST TO THE FINISH LINE!

 

Peppermint Place gives them a yummy sucker at the end of the race!!

Our fun science experiment we tried on summer afternoon!  Dump milk into a good sized bowl.

All colors of food coloring.  4 drops each right next to each other in the middle of the bowl.

 A Happy BOY!!

 Dip a Q tip in dish soap and then dip into the middle of the food coloring and watch it make awesome colors and designs!!

Surprises last Sunday!

   We went down and visted my family on sunday and ate dinner with them.  Later in the evening My parents took us up by their church.  There was a field where a bunch of helicopters were stationed for putting out the fire on the mtn.  My mom asked the men that were there if we could go in the field and get a closer look at the Helicopter.  The pilot and some of the firemen showed us around and let the kids sit in the chopper and even wear their stuff!! What a fun Surprise!

 Another Fun Surprise was holding a 5 day old hound dog puppy!!  My parents neighbor has about 8 Hound Dogs that he raised.  He hunts bears and all kinds of big wild life in the mtns.  May LOVES dogs!!

 

After playing outside at Grandma and Papa Redding's there favorite thing to do is take a bath in the jetted tub.  We put in a TON of bubbles and they had too much fun laughing and being crazy!!

Hunter got a new church shirt this week.  Hogan felt left out so he got in on the boy picture!!
