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!

Olympia weekend in Las Vegas!

 Seth has wanted to go to Mr. Olympia the past few years. It never has worked out with his work schedule until this year. We were all really excited to go. We booked our first night at the Golden Nugget because it has an awesome water slide that goes through an aquarium of sharks! Doran couldn't wait!
 We got there around 9:30 at night and checked in and got in our swim suits and headed down to swim... The pool was closed! We were so disappointed! It didn't re-open again until just about check-out time.
 So we hot tubbed that night and then went and got hot cocoas at starbucks the next morning and sat and watched the sharks.





 After we checked out we went to the expo! It was lots of fun and we got lots of free stuff. The boys even had a lot of fun the first few hours. They liked getting free things. Brock liked the protein shakes.

 We saw a little bit of the figure show.


 All our free swag from the first day! I loved my musclepharm sunglasses!
 Doran and Brock both got musclepharm glasses too and love them.
 The next morning we met my step-sister and her family for breakfast. I think it was a parenting low for me. Doran has gotten sick in breakfast restaurants for awhile. We started having them clean the surface they would cook his food on and he would be fine. About a year ago that even changed. He started getting sick even being in the restaurant. I had a feeling we shouldn't go, but I ignored it. Pretty soon his eyes were puffy. A few minutes later he was sneezing. Seth took him outside and then he threw up. I felt very bad. I have officially vowed that I will never take him to a breakfast restaurant or to a house cooking breakfast again. It isn't fair to him.
 Brock enjoyed breakfast though!
 That afternoon the boys and Becca went back to the expo and the boys and I went swimming. I laid out pretty much the whole time. I just laid right by the edge and watched the boys swim and show off for all the ladies around. They were doing all these crazy jumps and laughing and looking to see which of them were watching them. It was funny! Every once in a while they would come layout by me too.
 Afterwards we cleaned up and went and picked everyone else up. We drove around Vegas and got some yummy food and desserts. Seth got about the same amount of stuff the next day from the expo too!
 Poor little Dordor! He felt better after throwing up, but it took through the to shake off the red eyes and sneezing.
 All our expo stuff! Seth won't need new shirts for years! He got 40something free shirts. We got tons of shaker cups, water bottles, proteins, and supplements.

 It doesn't matter where we are at- if there is a Giants game we are reppin! I think people in the gas station in Beaver that we stopped at thought we were nuts. I guess maybe a little. Seth was trying to pull the game up on his phone while driving. It didn't really work, which is probably a good thing.
 When we got home Doran wanted to eat my asparagus. I had to take a picture because what kid likes asparagus? Really?

 We had a pretty busy week after getting home. We had Brooksy's birthday and parent teacher conferences on Tuesday. Both the boys are doing so good in school! Doran talked Chinese with his teacher and it was so awesome! He already has learned so much!
 The boys had their last football games this week too. I am sad they are already over! It was so fun watching them play.
 Seth's favorite dessert place opened in American Fork! He has been so excited to go try it out. The boys really liked it too!

Play & Stay

 Friday at the boy's school there was a Play & Stay. I got to go and play with Doran at his recess and eat lunch with him. It was so much fun! He said it was the greatest day of his life, but he has many of those recently...
 He came running up when he came out and was so excited I was there. He showed me all the cool stuff on his playground and then we went and played soccer. While we were playing soccer one of his friends came over and joined us.
 Doran wanted a school lunch that day so we went in a got his lunch when it was time and then we ate outside. Next time I am going to bring him lunch for subway so we don't have to wait in the long lunch line.
 It was so much fun! I am glad he is still at the age where he isn't embarassed of his momma and loves me so much!
Kindergarteners didn't get to have a play and stay because they don't have lunch. Brock was just glad he didn't have homework!
 I thought this was the most precious picture of Brock ever. It is so hard to get him to really smile, but this picture is real. It shows how sweet he is!
Angelic!
He is a little cuddler. He likes to be right next to Seth or I at all times. I love it!

Yesterday the boys and I went to Trader Joe's. Doran thought it was the greatest place ever. They had lots of food he could get. He got pot stickers and noodles and made me make them right when we got home. He said they were delicious. I got cookie butter for myself and I am seriously regretting it. They are so delicious I don't know how I am going to survive without them now!
Sometimes dogs just want to cuddle... And lay on you... And not let you sleep... They sure are cute though.
