The Guddat's

Megan's crazy but that's why I love her Ashten, Ayden, and Jayden played "Cooties"
He loves to make this face anytime the camera comes out

Wow-- he needs a haircut
Jayden is three years old JJ--I think he was trying to dance?
JJ is about to turn 2
I got the best surprise on Sunday when I walked into Sacrament meeting I saw my Best Friend Megan and her three little ones had come into town to visit their family. Today, we got to have Megan and her two sons over to play. The four big boys had so much fun playing together and they got along pretty well. (Anderson slept through all but about 2 hours of the all day visit.) We also had Cassi and Gavin over for a little bit in the morning. The boys played outside a ton (even on the big toy that sits empty majority of the time). They played cars and games and for the most part kept each other busy and out of their Mommy's hair. Megan and I had a great time visiting and watching TV and eating...HAHA. I wish they lived closer but even though we aren't living near each other I think that our friendship only continues to grow. They are an awesome family and we are blessed to have them in our lives.

Big Boy Room II

Ayden in his new bed, in his new room!
He chose out all the toys and books he wanted to bring to his new room...even though I didn't want ANY toys in there (that would be one less room to clean)Ayden has the biggest room in the house...but it's very empty!
I don't know why, but I had to move Ayden downstairs TODAY. The big boys have been going to sleep so late because they play together in their room and in the morning one will wake up and think it would be a great idea to wake the other one up. SO frustrating. Tonight, I put all three boys down at 7:30pm and everyone was out by 8:00pm yay! That's two hours earlier than last night. Ashten came out of his room one time rambling about Ayden but other than that there was no crying about "Ashten called me a Poo Poo Head" or "Ayden hit me". Earlier I had told Ayden and Ashten that all the boys were going to sleep downstairs someday. Here is the conversation I had with Ashty about that:
Ashten: "When could I move downstairs?"
Me: "When we have another baby, you can move downstairs."
Ashten: "Ok, when could we have another baby."
Me: "Go ask Daddy."<--haha
Ashten: "Daddy, when could we have another baby so I could move downstairs?"
HAHA I love that in his world having a baby means nothing more to him than that he gets to move downstairs. That boy cracks me up.

Party Hardy!

Ashten has an awesome swing...he will definitely have to get into baseball AJ got a Dum-Dum from the Pinata. He did not want to put it down even for a drink of milk.
I want a turn at that pinata
Armand is taking a break from eating haha
Ayden is wearing a cone that came off of the pinata Anderson was having a blast in the water especially when he realized how fun it was to stick his sucker in the water and eat the water off....sick especially since we know Steel Lake by it's other name "Duck Poop Park"



Ashten loved every second of the water

Ayden took over some one's trench and spent majority of his time digging


We were invited to a birthday for two of Nofo and Mariah's children. They had good food and lots of kids for ours to play with. But our boys stuck to themselves for some reason. Ayden and Ashten just wanted to get to the warm water. We had lots of fun just hanging out and watching all the kids play and swim.

Rock On!

On a trip to Wal-Mart today I temporarily lost Ayden for half a second. I knew I would find him by one of the games but I was surprised to find him totally rocking out on the Guitar Hero! He was even making "guitar sounds" with his mouth. It was SO funny!!!

At the Car Wash

Ayden's head was whipping around everywhere following the water shooting at the car. Ashten had to be woken up to go to the car wash...I knew he wouldn't want to miss out!
Anderson held out really good considering at this point he had been awake for 6 whole hours. When we got home I gave him a cup of milk and put him to bed. He did not wake up til the next morning and he only woke up then because he had been sleeping for 16 hours and I was beginning to panic so I went in and woke him.

We ran a ton of errands today with Mom. The kids did fairly good at staying calm and behaved, after I got some food in them. The highlight for them was going to the car wash when we were done with our errands. We had been talking about it since Monday when they got into the boat and shot the fire extinguisher all over my car. Luckily for them, the car came out clean.
