some cute pics of the boys






so here are some pics of halloween and cooper's birthday. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a very important part of our life and Cooper asked everyday where his shell was. Naturally Payton also had to be a turtle. Cooper also has a new love of swords so he deemed himself Leonardo Payton was Michelangelo. Those costumes as pretty dang cute. Thanks to Lisa Bird and Grandma for ideas and sewing skills love you guys.





In case there were any doubters YES I made cooper's b-day cake. (for all of you making fun, that is indeed superman) I had much help from Bridget. We are thinking of going into business together.


And yes that is Christian in that great big tigger costume I guess you could say he really go into Halloween this year!!

The Long Lost Prodigal Sister Returns!

We're back!!! I know that you all have missed us so much and after much chastening from you fellow bloggers and much to update you all on. I have decided that yes we will return to blogging!!!

First things first. Yes our family of 4 will be increased to a family of 5 on Feb 21 2009 (or right around that date somewhere). We are excited to be venturing into the 3 children world and a little nervous. I guess we are luck it is another BOY because at least we know what to expect with them. We are excited and the boys are way excited too.


Next Cooper Travis Redd is POTTY TRAINED!!!! Let me tell you it really wasn't that bad. He did pretty well and I wasn't too stressed. Our biggest dilemma now is finding TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLE underwear. Payton is in the middle of the whole toilet training bit too. He is insistent on flushing for Cooper and allows for zero privacy. All in all it is pretty entertaining.

That is it for now. I need to find my cord to upload pics. I'll do that tonight!! (p.s. it's nice to be back)

oops here are the pictures




My Hero!

I just wanted to put up some cute pictures I had of the boys since I'm always so behind. They are the cutest brothers. They are always looking out for each other. They are just so cute. I do have a funny story from today. So I am terrified of spiders. I know I am 5000 times bigger than them but I am just afraid of them what can I say. So today I am getting ready to scour my kitchen and when I got to the table there was the biggest grossest spider on it. Sick I know, and I was alone with Payton (cooper was asleep). So I called Christian, Casey and Wendi and they were all unavailable. I was shocked that they didn't all just drop everything to take care of my problem. Anyhow Payton and I teamed up I would throw shoes at it and he would go get the shoes (I never got a direct hit) After about 1/2 hour of this Cooper woke up. So yes, being the great mother I am, I sent him in. I showed him how to kill it and told him where to go. I was jumping, cheering, and jabbing with the broom and he was just a swinging at the spider with his shoe, He did it he killed the spider. I was so proud!!! Really so relived. I know that I am a chicken but now I know I can just ask him to do it!!!

1st listing!!!

Congratulations Christian! Christian has his very first listing!!! We are so excited! It's nice to for him to not just be working with buyers and actually get his name on a sign! So it is 120 acres in Providence. It's right on a hillside but if you know Providence you know how beautiful it is. If you know anyone who is interested in land give Christian a call ;) In all seriousness though Congrats hun!!!! We are proud of you! (for those of you who don't know he is with Century 21 note the gold and black!!!)

IT'S FINALLY HERE... A NEW POST!!

Yes yes i know all of you couldn't wait but yes I have a new post. So here is what is new. First off we are getting a condo at Yorkshire (west of Kmart) We are really excited about it and then we are going to wait for the perfect house to show up!!





Second my kids love my parents house. Cooper has found a new best friend, Coco. I don't really want to get a dog but to watch my kids with the dog it is pretty tempting. They love that puppy and she is always a topic of conversation. I guess it is a good thing my parents are close so I won't have to get a dog :)



Here are a few pictures of the boys while I was away on Spring Fling. The boys had so much fun over the weekend- they did miss me though :) I brought the boys home golf clubs and they were a huge hit. Unbeknown to me they had been playing golf all weekend so they were stoked to have their own set. By the way Spring Fling was an absolute blast. I totally fried myself one day I might possibly show you the evidence in a coming slide show. You'll have to wait and see!


I have to tell you all it is so fun to get away, but by the end of the weekend I am just excited to get home and see all of my boys (for anyone wondering if Christian is included he of course is!!) I love you guys, I would never want to be gone for long:)!

I am far behind

Okay so we sold our house and have yet to find something we like in Logan... So we are in with my parents YIPEE!  thanks mom and dad we owe you.  anyhow the have a mac and I a pretty mac retarded so I don't know how to upload pics onto my blog etc.  So until we have a house none of you get to see pics.  I know the suspense may kill you!

update:
Cooper.  loves kyle's dog coco.  He thinks you are only supposed to tell coco "NO COCO DON'T BItE ME!" "SIT" and "DOWN COCO"  all yelling of course.  but he really does love that dog.  No don't think that I am a sucker we still will remain dogless for many many years!  We also play guitar hero quite often, he sings i play (i'm pretty dang good all you doubters)
Payton. My goodness he is such a side-stepper.  He walks everywhere now and it seems that corners are easier to maneuver as a side-step it is pretty funny.  He also loves to jump which involves squatting all the way to the ground with a fast movement up and no feet leaving the ground.  He sings and dances constantly which may be a good thing or a bad thing you decide.  
Spring Fling:   Here' s the deal anyone who is not excited better get excited because the 3rd generation is in desperate need for a spring fling.  attitudes better improve and everyone better be ready to party like is 1999!! that's right.  anyway I'll get off my soapbox.  I am so excited for spring fling and can't wait to see everyone!

Now La Sal (I'm still not very good at this blogging thing)

Okay so La Sal tends to be a nightmare for my children. For some reason they are not so fun or cute while there. Sorry Christian's family. They live in, well, the middle of nowhere and there are tractors, cows, dogs, cousins, it should be an absolute blast for them and I'm sure (cross my fingers) it will Be someday. We went down after Christmas and went sledding, rode tractors, and played with the new puppies.

Birthday-Christmas-La Sal.........(i'm never caught up!)


Ok so poor Payton was sick on his birthday, which was Dec. 14, yes full on throwing up everything a bazillion times. It was the first time he has had the flu and I felt so bad for him. So we did a quick little birthday cake the next day, nothing special, but we did our best. Now 1 month later he will finally tell you he is 1!!!


Christmas was a blast Cooper really liked it Payton was a little overwhelmed.
