COLDPLAY!!!

The Coldplay concert was last night and it was amazing! It was so much fun! There were two opening acts that were so boring, but thats ok. I wasn't there for them anyways.

Our seats were really high up! There was probably only 10 rows behind us! Surprisingly they still weren't bad seats. We could see the whole stage and the other little stage they performed on. We could see all the screens (including these huge balls they had all over that were screens too, they were awesome!) At one part they went into the audience and played two songs. Just right there in the middle of the crowd! It was the coolest concert I have ever been too!

They opened with Life in Technicolor/Violet Hill. I had guessed they would open with Violet Hill and since Life in Technicolor is just instrumental I think I was right! They played almost every song on Viva La Vida album and lots of others from there first 3 albums, the oncore was Yellow! It was an awesome concert and I hope they come to Salt Lake City again!

Twilight

I loved, loved, loved, loved Twilight! It wasn't one bit disappointing to me and I thought Robert Pattinson did a perfect job playing Edward!

So we had a group of 12! It was really fun. Lots of us had on this sweet shirt and let me tell you we looked way super cool. Actually compared to some of the people there we were super cool...

I wanted to get pictures of everybody but I am not the best with picture taking! So anyways I loved it!

Overwhelmed

I came across a friend from junior high schools blog today and little did I know I must have needed to be humbled. I have always complained about how hard it is to be pregnant and deliver ten pound babies, how hard it is to cope some days with the bad temper tantrums of a two year old, (Don't get me wrong, my husband and sons are my life!) and just some days needing a break. I don't even know how to express how I felt when I read about what her and her husband have gone through. They lost there sweet little girl when she was seven weeks old. She mentions her in almost every post. She has such an amazing testimony of an eternal family. I just sobbed and sobbed as I read through her posts and watched a slide show documenting their short and precious time with their angel. I hope I can value my sweet boys and be the mom they deserve to have. I hope to be the wife Seth deserves to have. I hope to never take my amazing life forgranted. I hope if I have another angel waiting to join our family I will be softened. I am so grateful I have the gospel in my life and that I got my life back on track after having gone so far off. I am so grateful for this family I have been blessed to be the mother in.

Nonis

Doran's very favorite treat is donuts. When he was about 18 months he started calling them nonis, but this last month they have officially become donuts. The other day he all the sudden started begging for one so I pulled up google images of donuts. He just sat on the chair in front of the computer pretending to eat all the donuts on the screen. Needless to say, we went and got him a real donut!
I just thought these pictures were so funny! You can see him picking them off the screen!
I am really excited this week! I am going to the midnight showing of Twilight Thursday night/Friday morning and the Coldplay concert on Saturday. I love Coldplay! I loved the first album parachutes, but then when a rush of blood to the head came out-wow! I knew they were my favorite band! I am so excited! This is my second time seeing them. The first time Seth and I saw them was at the MGM Grand in Vegas. I was in my first trimester with Doran, was sick, and had a pic line in my arm. I threw up the whole car ride down there... But the concert was awesome! I think this one will be even better because I absolutely love the Viva La Vida album!

You don't even want me to get started on Twilight! I can't wait!

We VOTED!

Seth and I voted today for the first time of our lives. We are always about trying new things. (That is a quote of Seth not me saying that!)

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! All week we have planned on going to our ward's trunk-or-treat tonight and then around to family tomorrow. Well about 10 minutes before the trunk-or-treat we found out it isn't even our ward! The other ward had just left their sign up through our meetings. But we decided to go anyways. No one seemed to mind and we gave out candy too. Doran was very happy that he just had to say trick or treat and he got candy. He loves Halloween!

Here is Brockey in his costume. My Mom made it for me when I was a baby, then Brooks wore it on his first Halloween, and now Brock got to wear it. I thought it was funny because it is so far from the truth, he is an angel not a devil!

Seth and I were nervous that Doran wouldn't wear the hat because he hasn't been a fan of them for a while now. As soon as he saw Brock all dressed up and with his hat on he was very excited to dress up and especially for the hat. He wore it all night and if he touched it at all he would have us fix it right away. I just wish it was a cuter hat!

Here he is at the trunk-or-treat! So much fun!
Jayce always likes to be something different then the other kids on Halloween. This year she wanted to be a vampire bat! She was scary!
Then on Halloween night we made our rounds. We went to Granny's, Grandma and Papa K's and had chili and hot cocoa, and then to Nate and Samantha's trunk-or-treat. The picture above is by far my favorite costume. If you can't tell it was a headless horseman. It was so cool to see this person riding down the street! Here is Brock with Papa! He got pretty grumpy tonight around 5. It was a long day to him!

Doran with his Grandma. And below both boys with Grandma. Doran had so much fun. This is really the first holiday he has gotten into and it made it so much fun. After we left the trunk-or-treat we went around our neighborhood letting him trick-or-treat. He loved it. He dragged his bag around and wouldn't let anyone help carry it. I am so excited to see what he does for Christmas!

Hee Haws

We went to Hee Haws on Friday and boy was it fun. We had never been there before so I was surprised at how much there was to do there. Sarah and Samantha invited us and we thought lets make a party of it and invite the Yakiwchuks! I think everyone had a ton of fun. The slide was definately the most popular attraction. I went down it a few times and I gotta say when you get to the bottom, whoa, that hurts!
For Doran the funnest thing was by far and away the 'train' ride. They went two times and he still freaked out when Seth got him out.
The second time around Brock went with Brooks and he really liked it too.
Here is Jayce and Bella. Don't they look so cute!
You would never guess Doran liked it from his facial expression!
And the main attraction! Jayce and Jax went down it every way they could think of! It was pretty funny.
Here is Daddy going down with Doran and Gavin. Doran liked it at first, but then Brooks sent him down alone and he flipped forward and hit his cheek bone and nose really hard so he wasn't a big fan after that.
Here is Sarah with Tyson and Gavin and Samantha with Doran. She said he was fine until they got to the top and he saw me and started saying Coley Coley and then he saw Seth and was yelling Set Set!
Brock had a lot of fun or as much fun as someone who can't walk and do anything can have!
Here is the whole group! Yay!

Gay Gay's Quilt

I have never seen such a neat quilt as the one my cousin Christine aka Gay Gay made in sewing this year. She did the pattern and everything by herself and I absolutely love it.

The pictures don't even do it justice! I love the sewing she did all over it. You can see in the picture below all the cool swirls and stuff she did on it. She is very talented!

9 months!

It is hard to believe Brock is 9 months! That is how long I was pregnant! He had his nine month check up on Thursday and he is still a skinny little guy. He weighs 19 lbs. 5 oz. which is only the 34%ile. He is 29 1/4 inches which is the 82%ile and his head is now in the 91%ile! So basically he is skinny, tall, and has a big noggin! His eating has finally improved, he still wakes up in the night for food and the doctor said he will still need to for awhile... But we finally can switch him from Allimentum to a cheaper formula! Yeah!

OOOHHHH!

Memory Lane!

I just wanted to take a little walk down memory lane today and show everyone how cute little Brocky is and always has been. Above is a picture a few hours after he was born and below is his first day home. He was such an awesome baby! You can tell his eye was swollen from his clogged tear duct and he was all yellow. Still so cute!
Here he is at one month, this was day he was admitted to the hospital for RSV. His eyes were starting to change then to a more hazel color rather than the blue-gray. You can tell he didn't feel good by the look on his face.
Here he is a 2 months and about 2 weeks. All I can say is STUD!
Here he is at 3 months, once again not feeling well but still oh so handsome!
Here he is this past Saturday eating my cell phone skin and loving it! Ladies look out!
I guess while I am at it we better walk down memory lane with Doran too. It is funny how different they have always looked. Doran's eyes were blue from day one and Brock's were just always tinted with brown! Here is Doran with Jayce the day after he was born. What a chubby face!

Here he is at one month old. This is when he had lost all of his hair. Poor little guy next to Hunter, she had tons of hair!
Here he is at two months old. His hair grew back so fast! Brock didn't get as much hair as Doran.
3 months old with Grandma!
4 months! He was such a happy baby. Brock is too! They both always smile! I am very lucky to have such wonderful babies.
6 months old! I always loved this picture. He was crying 2 seconds before because Seth was leaving, he has always been a daddy's boy!
One year! Can you get a cuter picture? They both always have made good facial expressions!
Check out those blue eyes! There is no doubt that we have two good lookin boys on our hands!
18 months! Easter morning!
2 years!!! I love my little boys!
