Fishing!!!

 The day the boys have been waiting for finally arrived! Fishing day! We had a bit of a hard time getting a day that worked for all of us and the weather the last two weeks, but we finally made it happen! The dogs were just as excited about it as the boys!
 Papa K and Grandma led us to a great little pond in American Fork called Manilla pond.
 Papa K and Daddy got the boys all set up and they started casting.
 I took the much harder job of walking the dogs around the park. They were so hyper that it was nuts! I was wore out by the end of it!


 They waited patiently, but it wasn't too long before they both got a bite! They both got the first one at about the exact same time!






 They were each allowed to catch two fish, which they did. It only took about 45 minutes from start to finish. As we were driving away Brock asked if we can go fishing again.





 We swung by Grandma and Papa K's on the way home and learned how to gut and clean them. Papa K told me how to cook them and how we are supposed to eat them. He said he was going to quiz me and he would be mad if I didn't eat one. (He is going to be mad at me!)
 The boys were both so excited to eat the dinner they caught! Doran devoured his. I knew he would. He loves fish and always asks for it. Brock I was nervous wouldn't like it. Seth told him if he doesn't like fish he will have to catch and release. He loved it! They both ate the whole fish. We gave Grandma and Grandpa Engman the other two.
 And done!

Two weeks..

 It has been two weeks since I last updated. Not much has happened. School, work, and fall break. We stayed home and relaxed for fall break, which is just what I wanted to do. The boys have been doing really well in school so far. They are great at doing their homework and are both learning so much. I still can't get over hearing Doran speak in Chinese at parent teacher conference. Brocky is sounding words out and memorizing sight words!

 The boys got a package in the mail from Aunt Jenny last week. They loved the beanies she made them. She made Brock and Trixie one and Doran a Sharky one. They both wore them for days straight.

 We have two little daddies boys. These are both different mornings. They love to cuddle with Seth when he comes home off the night shift. I had to take pictures to show Seth how cute it was!
 Which item at Olive Garden has egg:
-breadsticks
-alfredo dipping sauce
-the Olive Garden garden salad without croutons
-penne pasta
-mashed potatoes
The correct answer is the salad. I was so shocked. He hasn't actually eaten egg in awhile so it was crazy how sick he got and how fast. I had no idea that egg is in ceasar dressing. I only thought it was in ranch style dressing.

 We have been on a game kick lately. We have been playing lots of Uno and lots off Sorry. The boys love playing games. We have so much fun!
 We are getting excited for Halloween. We have been eating starburst candy corns! Yummy!
 Last week Brock watched Marley and Me for the first time. I remembered the end of it and how it affected Doran so I was ready with a camera while Brock was watching. It broke his heart too! Such a sad movie, but really makes you love your dogs.

 Papa K got Doran and Brocky fishing poles! They are so excited to go fishing. He came over and gave them a lesson on how to work the pole and throw the line so they know what to do when we go fishing next week!






 We were driving in Sandy the other night and saw this Chinese store. There were big symbols on the sign and Doran recognized one and said it says big! I thought it was so cool!
 We went to our friend's wedding reception and the boys were in heaven. There was a smores making station! Brilliant!

 Last night was Otterfest at the boys school! They had a blast. When we left Doran said it was the greatest night of his life! They ate chic-fil-a, found the otters on a scavenger hunt, and played all sorts of games and activities for tickets!
 This was hanging in the hall by Doran's classroom door. Had to take a picture!
Their favorite activities were the bungee run and an obstacle course. Doran was the strongest little kid there! He was the first little kid the guy saw make it all the way to the end. Doran was really proud. Brock was proud of himself for beating Dordor by about two seconds on the obstacle course. It was a fun night!

Kids workshop

 When I used to work at Home Depot I would love working the first Saturday of the month. We would always have a kids workshop and I loved helping the kids build their projects. I haven't even thought about it since. This morning though we went for the first time and the boys loved it. We went to their yearly 'big deal' one. They had it set up outside. The kids made firefighter airplanes. After they made them they gave them lego firetrucks to build at home. They had all sorts of things set up there too. They had cop cars, firetrucks, ambulances, the police mobile command center, police dogs, and all sorts of other safety things. The boys loved walking around from thing to thing and looking and getting inside of them. After we were done we went in Walmart next door to get a few things. While we were in there we could hear a loud noise and I realized it was a helicopter. We hurried out and they had landed a life flight chopper at the kids workshop too! We went back over to check it out. The boys both loved it. Brock got in and checked it out, but Doran refused.
 My little builders!




 They had such a fun morning and loved the toys they got to make.
 Here is the legos they got. They thought it was so cool. They are going to build a lego house that is on fire so their firetrucks can put the fire out.

 Just playin some Harry Potter uno. Much better than real uno ;)
 Today Doran got his own fantasy team! Uncle Zach gave him one of the teams in the league. He was so excited! The first thing he did was name his team the Killer Megalodons. Very Dordor-ish. Then we went over his roster and made changes to his players. He wasn't very happy when he heard he was playing uncle Zach's team.
 I went to a baby shower tonight that had the most amazing treat table I have ever seen in my life! Everything looked mouth watering and it was set up so cute! It looked like it was out of a magazine! Brock ate four cookies before I cut him off and Doran had two donuts! Always good to know what are egg-free!
 After the shower we came home and decorated for Halloween. It was so fun because the boys loved it. They helped me do everything, from getting the boxes upstairs and un-packed, to picking where to put the decorations. They are happy that our house is haunted up! The dogs are liking the decorations too. I keep having to yell at them to stay away from the fake spiders! I love this time of year and I love my family!
