Temple Square

Last weekend the boys and I went to Sweet Tomatoes and Temple Square with my family. We were sad Ty couldn't be there, but he was working in Arizona for the week.

It was so super cold, but we still had fun. Scotty just loves being with his cousins Bwoo (Brooke) and Dah (Jack), Bah-pa (grandpa), Mah-ma (grandma), and his Aunt Mayme (Amy).

Missing Camera

I have misplaced my camera, it is so frustrating! I really just need to go buy another but I keep thinking it is going to pop up as soon as I do. Anyway, this is the reason for so few posts and entry's.

I have been lucky in the fact that my mom has been getting some pictures for me and that my phone has a pretty nice camera on it, so I am still able to capture my sweet boys, just not as easily and nicely as I'd like.

Here is a picture of my 3 boys on THANKSGIVING! These boys are my whole world. I love them so very very much!


And 2 recent pictures taken from my phone:

Scotty all ready for the Murdock Family Christmas Party. He is chewing on a travel/disposable toothbrush.

Button (aka Ben) 12 weeks and 2 days old in this picture. He is growing up way to fast!!

C is for...

A fun little story I want to remember.

Yesterday at church, Scotty and I were sitting quietly on the bench reading one of his beloved Sesame Street Books. This particular book was an alphabet book where it has the letter surrounded by pictures of things that start with that letter. Well when we got to the C, Scotty pointed to the it and said "C". I was shocked, I had no idea he knew any letters. So I quietly turned toward Ty and whispered over Scotty's head and Ben's carseat "Ty, he pointed out and said C!" Ty then looked at Scotty, smiled, and whispered some sort of affirmation. Scott sure felt proud and proceeded to let dad know, that he knew the letter C by yelling "TY!...TY!...TY!..." and then quietly whispering "see" while pointing to the C on the book. He continued this for a while, yelling Ty's name to get his attention then whispering C, because he knew he was supposed to be quiet.

We finally got him quiet, but continued laughing and mimicking it the rest of the day.

{{yelling}} "TY!... TY!...{{whispering}} C "

What a funny age! I love it.

My Facebook status yesterday

A favorite memory: Laying in bed with Ty, Scotty and Keeley while pregnant with Ben (S was having a bad night and came to bed with us). As I laid there watching Ty and Scotty sleep, Ben started kicking and I was overcome with the realization of how everything I need in my life fit on that king size bed.

Family Zoo Day

A few weeks ago we went to the zoo. Scotty has started to get into animals latley and knows the signs for most of them. So we packed up the double stroller and made our way to the zoo.

Heading to the zoo!

Happy Halloween

I still can't believe we celebrated another "1st Halloween" this year. Ben was completely oblivious to what is going on around him, but Scotty sure had fun.

Scotty had to help Ben get ready for his very 1st Halloween.

Taking a nap, waiting for dad to get back so we could carve pumpkins.

We practiced our "trick or treating" with cereal and fruit snacks all week. Here Scotty is enjoying some Chex cereal out of his pumkin while waiting for dad to get home from ward football.

PUMPKIN CARVING

Time to start carving. Scotty LOVED carving pumpkins this year. It was a very serious matter.

He had to give the pumpkin a taste.

Helping Mom.

Ty and Scotty getting down to business.

TRICK-OR-TREAT TIME!

The littlest pumkin in the patch.

Trick-or-treat

Trick-or-treat

Our last stop was at Kevin and Allisons house, where we stayed for pizza. Scotty loved helping hand out candy to all the trick-or-treaters that came by. And Ben loved having Aunt Allison snuggle him.

I hope everyone had a great Halloween this year! :)

Halloween Party

Last night was our ward Halloween Party. Ty was still in Las Vegas, so Allison saved the day came with me. We enjoyed some coloring, a costume parade, yummy snacks, seeing friends and trunk-or-treating.
