Terrible 2's

In the last two weeks talon has been in to everything.
first the jaw breaker as you can see.
then it was the paint yes i said paint.

I was in the shower when Drayton came in telling me talon made a mess but mom it look s pretty i didn't think it could be that bad. i was so wrong he had climbed up on top of the entertainment center and got the PINK paint he had it everywhere from the bottom of the stairs into my bed room. i called the carpet cleaning place and they came right out but as far as the paint coming out it didn't happen. the plus side i get new flooring.

The newest thing in our lives!!

Bryson turned eight last month so he now gets to go to scouts he loves it.

Today talon wanted to brush his teeth i gave him his toothbrush and went out of the room i had forgot about him after five min i went back to check on him and this is what i found talon butt naked in the sink Lol.. What a cute kid

Snowboarding

This weekend we went snowboarding with my sisters and there family's. We took Bryson with us he loved it. I explained to him how to do it and down the mountain he went all by him self. He loves it. And now that we are home he keeps bugging us to take him again so we found a hill that he can snowboard down that is right by our house him and Jamin go and have so much fun...

Here is a recipe to have on a cold day

Home Made Chicken Noodle Soup

As many chicken breasts (raw) as needed for your family

2-3 raw carrots(diced)

3-4 Celery pieces(diced)

4-8 chicken bouillon cubes (depending on your taste)

Egg Noodles

**Take raw chicken and place in a big pot. Cover with lots of water and place chicken bouillon cubes in with a dash of salt. Bring to a boil on high and reduce heat to medium high. Add Carrots (diced) and boil with chicken for 30 min. or until chicken is done. Take chicken out and add cut up celery and egg noodles (as much as you like) and begin to boil the noodles while you cut up the cooked chicken. Then add the chicken back into the pot and boil until the noodles are finished. **The reason you need lots of water to begin with is so when you add the noodles you will still have some broth for the soup.

THANKSGIVING TREAT!!!

Need a cute idea for a thanksgiving treat?? Here is something simple and easy. Just make some cupcakes, frost them and then do two blobs on the front for the head and use candy corns to make the feathers. you could also use something for the eyes but I didn't have anything so I went without. the pictures are blurry but they actually are pretty darn cute.
