Ben - Is going to be getting his engineering license in a couple months, he's passed the test and done his time. He is still working here at the Idaho branch of Horrock's Engineers. Ben is a cub scout leader in our ward. He seems to enjoy it. Ben is still biking to and from work almost everyday, even in freezing weather. He loves biking! It's awesome. Ben is awesome and super hot!
Me- I'm still just staying home with the kids, getting crazier everyday! I am going to be running a half marathon here in Boise on October 24th. I'm excited! I am the primary secretary in our ward. I seem to be enjoying it :) Just kidding, it is a nice calling. I am a coupon queen/freak. I spend way too much time on this, but it saves a ton of money. I'm loving this time of year, but dreading the winter. I'm dreaming of a warm destination vacation in January, we'll see if that dream comes true (fingers crossed).
Brandon is 5 now. Now that he is 5 he is stronger, doesn't cry as much even when Bridger hits him, and sometimes eats a lot and fast, because he's bigger now, that is what he says anyway. Brandon still loves transformers and if he is ever pretending to be one his lips pucker, his voice gets really deep and has a very serious face. It is really funny. It is also funny if he watches Ninja Turtles because suddenly he's doing somersaults all over the house. Brandon is such a loving boy. He says the nicest things. He is in preschool again this year. He really loves it. Brandon is currently afraid of our upstairs, dresses up in his spider man costume almost daily, loves to sit on the couch with Duncan, he can't wait until Halloween, loves playing outside with Bridger, his favorite book is a book about planes, trains and airplanes, and he talks way too much. Brandon has grown so much and is doing great.
Bridger slobbers like no other kid I have ever seen. He is like a Saint Bernard, seriously. He getting so big. I still think of him as my little baby, but he getting too big. Bridger currently loves airplanes. He love to point and say "Look, up in the sky" when he hears an airplane. He is talking more and more and we're able to understand more and more of it everyday too. He's like our little parrot, he'll repeat almost anything. Bridger is a boob if I have to take him to the store or anywhere that he has to sit. He wants to walk, run, and play. He has TONS of energy. He loves canny (a.k.a. candy), so he might like Halloween this year, except he is really afraid of statues and stuffed animals that sing or talk, so I'm wondering what he'll think of people in costumes. I guess we'll see. He loves story time at night and is looking so cute in his cold weather footed pj's. Bridger is a tank, and it is fun to see how different our kids can be.
(Brandon and Bridger playing with there magic blankets that give them super strength powers)
Duncan - is still the same old dog. Spends his days sleeping, trying to get table scraps, and loves barking at the neighbors dogs. He is an awesome dog, he is cuddly and nice.
We miss Utah a little too much. We miss our family and friends. But for now Idaho is where we live and it is beautiful and lovely, and our house and neighborhood are awesome, and we're so blessed.
Not really part of our family update, but look at what was in our garden:
This spider was huge!!! I guess it is just a garden spider but is was so humongous!
