Baby Hopkins!

So excited!!!!! My good friend Blair had her baby yesterday. Hogan Scott Hopkins, 7lb. 10 oz, 21 3/4 inches long. Blair and Jacob waited to find out what they were having until yesterday. It almost makes me want a third so that I can have that experience.
Slade and Brant are just perfect, and I thank God for them everyday. Last night Slade got scared once again. I was feeding Brant and he came running in the room and said that someone knocked on the window!! I of course knew no one was there, but I still got scared. I did not know what I would do if someone was really staring back at me.
Brant slept in his crib until 4 last night! Yippee! I went in there around 2 to make sure he was ok. He was, so I just covered him back up. Also, Marky Mark and the Funky bunch came on the tv last night and Brant just cracked up. Slade and I started dancing around and he got even more happier!

Falls and Feet!

Yesterday was eventful. Brant had his first major fall. It was scary. Brenna sent me a text message that he had fallen and had a bruise on his head. I was picturing the worst, but luckily it was not bad at all. He just loves to climb on everything and pull up. He pulled up on a chair and then let go and fell.

Slade saw my toe nails yesterday and asked me why I painted them black. He said that he liked pink better. :) I just love my boys!!!! They are sooo sweet and cute!

Fun Filled Fast Weekend

This weekend went by crazy fast. We had the Godley game on Friday night, and they won 63 to 7!!!! They are District Champs and are ranked # 2 in state! Yay! I really want them to win state so that I can get a state necklace. I took Slade to the game with me and my mom took care of Brant. It was weird to have only one kiddoe!

Then on Sat. I had a "Sip and See" for my friend Alli's new baby Caroline. I was going to take the boys, but luckily Billy was home so they got to hang out with him. Here is a picture he took! So super cute!

After the Sip and See, we went over to Blair and Jacob's house. And on Sunday I had Cotillion. Busy Busy!!!

Slade and Brant did not sleep really well this weekend. Thank you time change. I think Brant is getting teeth, but I have thought that forever, and still none. He likes to bite and chew on everything. And he is crawling and will pull up every where!!!! Yesterday he actually went from the ottoman to the chair standing up!!! Slade's new thing is he will tell you a secret but say funny stuff. Like, "toilet, poop, pee."...... Gross, but I guess it is a little boy's humor. I just love them soooo much!

Welcome to the Crazyiness.

Slade has started to be afraid to be alone. He comes by it nautrally because I hate to be alone. When I was getting Brant ready for bed, he kept on coming in the room and waking Brant back up again. He was super cute, he would walk in and whisper, "Is he alseep?" Brant would wake up and look at him and laugh... It was madness for about 45 minutes. Finally Brant went to bed. Then we I went back into the living room, the lights had gone out! It was just the lights in the living room and the plugs still worked. It was weird. Finally Slade and I fixed it. It was just a crazy day followed by a crazy night. It ended well, Slade and I read about 3 books and then fell asleep. His favorite books are Berenstein bear books. He loves "Visit the Dentist" it is a must read every night.

Slade took this picture of Brant. A real close up! :) This is a picture of the boys hanging out on the beds, before Brant goes to sleep. Yes, Slade is naked.

Slade loves the first picture of him the pots! He looks at it all the time on my phone, so the other day he called me into the kitchen and he had recreated it! Look how much he has grown!

Billy

It is all about Billy today! He has complained that he has not made the blog... So here he is!!! I love him sooo much! My life would not be the same without him. I remember when I knew I was going to spend the rest of my life with him. We weren't even together yet. He was a Junior and I was a freshman. He was walking back from football practice from the baseball field and I was going to the MPC. I told my mom that I was going to follow him to college and then marry him. What a life we have had. I love you so much. You are my wonderwall!

Halloween!

Slade the Skeleton!

Brant the monkey!

We had such a great Halloween weekend. My parents finally got home from London!! Thank goodness!! We really missed them. On Saturday we were supposed to go to a pumpkin carving party, but Billy was super tired so we just hung out at home. Sunday was church and Slade gave his first offering. He brought $1 to church. It was really sweet. I am sure he did not know what he was doing, but at least he did it. Then, Sunday night we went to my parents and trick or treated around their neighborhood. Slade had so much fun, but was more concerened with eating the candy in between the houses to get us very far. I think we went to about 10 house all together. And Billy actually did not have to work so he got to go with us. :)

This is a picture of how the evening started. Slade was upset...... Everyone else was super happy. He got over it once he was in the wagon.

Church Carnival

Yesterday we had the annual church carnival. I just love our church. They have bounce houses, games and tons of candy and food. Slade dressed up as a skeleton but I did not dress Brant up because it was too hot. Slade loves bounce houses and he was so brave and went down the tallest slide there. He loved it so much, he went on it about a million times. Needless to say we have tons of candy and we already can't wait for next year. I should of brought our stroller for Brant, but in the past it has always gotten in the way. I had to carry him the whole time. He actually spit up the garden vegetables that he just ate right infront of a large group of kids. It was pretty funny. They all just stared and kinda started gagging. Such a fun way to spend the evening!
