Brothers

I went shopping with my mother yesterday. She had some errands to run, and I decided me and my kids needed to get out of the house. We ended up at Costco and I just love the shopping carts they have there. Kaden and Aaron were sitting side by side. I wish I could've gotten a picture of it, they were so cute. Aaron thought he was so big sitting there. He kept kicking his legs and looking around. Anyway, they always have samples so we got a candy on a toothpick for Kaden, and my Mom was getting one for me and her. We both had our backs turned on the boys when all of a sudden we hear crying. I turn around to find Kaden candyless, so I was looking on the ground to see where he dropped it. Mom and I couldn't find it anywhere on the floor, so I looked back up to see if it was on Kaden's lap or something. Lo and behold, there was a toothpick sticking out of Aaron's mouth. How does that saying go, "Like taking candy from a baby," I think it needs to be changed. Isn't brotherly love just wonderful? I had to take the candy away from Aaron because it had nuts in it. Kaden didn't want it back because it was all slimy, so he got a brownie instead. He guarded that thing like a mother hen guarding her chickens. It gave my stomach muscles a good workout though!

Moan and Groan and a tag...

My sweet sister-in-law tagged me. So, here is the 3rd picture in my 6th folder. This is Kaden; I'm hiding behind him. I had just gotten home from the hospital after having Aaron, so Kaden was having fun climbing on me, since he hadn't seen much of me for a few days. Now, of course, Aaron is crawling like a crazy baby. He pulls himself up on everything, and he eats like there won't be any food left tomorrow. Then again, at the rate he eats maybe there won't be any food left... That, obviously, was a joke. After all we're living with my parents again. If anyone goes hungry in this house, it's their own fault.

It's been awhile since I posted because we have been so insanely busy. We had to be out of our house by Nov. 1, so that the new renters could move in. I'm still amazed at how much junk we have. We're are now living in my parents' house, in the basement. Two bedrooms. It's not too bad. We're just glad to have a place to live right now, and we're hoping it won't be for long. Brad started a new job last week. He's working for GammaWest Brachytherapy. Basically he helps out with radiation therapy for cancer patients. I'll leave out all the graphic parts of his job, let's just say they mostly treat prostate cancer. It's been good for him, and we need the money. It's tough though because he is NEVER home. He'll leave anywhere between 6 and 8:30 in the morning. On the nights he has class, we don't see him again until 7:30 pm, and on Wed. nights he has Elder's Quorum presidency meetings at 7:30. Then, when he has clinicals, I don't see him until 11 pm. It makes for some really long days with the boys, and trying to get everything else done.

Anyway, all is well. Last week I borrowed my sister's car to go to the pharmacy (I forgot to mention that while Brad is gone, I have no mode of transportation.). We got to Kohler's and they couldn't fill our prescriptions because Brad and I had both ran out of refills, go figure. So, I had to bribe Kaden to leave the store peacefully, and he chose a small package of swedish fish. On the way home I hear him say, "NO NEMO!" with a very stern voice. Next, "I'm sorry, daddy" with a sweet passive voice. I thought I was going to die laughing. He is so much like his father...

I almost forgot, I tag Kassi and Jessica. Post your 3rd picture from your 6th folder. Have a wonderful day!
