A few ramdom moments:

 Dev was pretty sad that his new footed PJs didn't fit

At least they still could DO THIS...

Halloween

I love Halloween!!!

Since Jamis is suddenly amazed by firemen, we went with the Fire theme.  Jamis LOVED being a fireman.  He wore his costume everyday and slept in his fireman hat.  So stinking cute.  Jax just went with the flow of it all.  What a cute little fire dog.

 Jamis loved trick or treating and of course eating his loot.  This year he also got into the spooky side of things.  Everytime he sees a bug or spider now, he says "ohhhhh spoooky"

love that little tail end

A new Man in the house

Woo Look at me

 This is so silly

 Ok, Mom, lets do this

 Steady

 So Handsome

Random October moments

Jamis on a "date" with his friend Gabby

Jax on his very first bike ride. Seems like only yesterday Jamis was on this little bike

Jamis 17 months

Jax not only discovered Barney, but the lazy-boy

I'm sorry to all, but I can't help it.  I just can't post without at least one " Jamis peeing" picture.  Why, oh, why is he just so darn cute

 What a big boy

Rainy Days

The last few days have been pretty wet.  Got to love inside days

Jax is still not crawling yet, but rolls to any place he wants to go.  He does get easily frustrated with not being able to walk yet though.

Lately he is most happy just standing somewhere.  Now if he could only pull himself up.

 A stick + Paper + Paperclips = Hours and Hours of Jamis entertainment

 So proud of each and every catch (and yes he still refuses to wear pants)

 Anything Jamis does, Jax is totally amazed by.  Always the good big brother, Jamis let Jax have a turn.

 Woot Woot Jax! You got one.

Yep tastes good

 So happy to be just like Jamis

Pumpkin Season is HERE!!!!

This year I was so excited to take the kids to a pumpkin patch (mostly to get some cute pics of the kids).  Well of course things don't always go as planned and we did our pumpkin patch festivities at the one and only Home Depot.  So white trash, but hey we are Griners are we not.

 Got some strange looks, but hey got a few cute pics.

 The boys loved picking out their own pumpkins

Gymnastics

 For play group this month we went to open gym at the local gymnastics center.  The boys had a blast. 

Everything ended in a big deep pit of foam blocks.  Jamis was in heaven, Jax not so much.

Jax loved watching the kids jump

 Very broken hearted that he couldn't have a turn though

I think next year we are going to have to sign Jamis up for lessons. 

the BIG three O

 It's true.  I am officially half way up "the hill."  Turning 30 is something that I've been dreading mostly because I remember when my parents turned 30 and that in and of it self is quite depressing.  Thirty to me though has always represented "real adulthood."  When you are in your twenties, your still young, having fun, and if you mess up, no big deal, 'your just in your twenties'.  When your 30 though its a different story.  You are now supposed to be a 'responsible adult.'  Now I know nothing really changes or not that I ever used the reasoning of 'oh, its OK, I'm just in my twenties', but still....the thought was always in the back of my mind.  Now I am a 'real responsible adult.'  Devan laughed at me when I tried to explain this to him, some people just don't get it.

Now the day started off great, a yummy breakfast in bed with my three boys. 

Then it started to decline.  Several of my friends offered to take the kids for us so we could go out.  Devan just gave me a laundry list of all the reasons why he didn't want to go out.  So I came up with a list of things we could do during the day with the kids that would be fun.  Devan had to go into work.  I was trying hard not to lose it.

When he finally got back from the hospital, we went for a little drive and hike in the mountains.  Put the day back on track.  

 Our little turtle we rescued from the middle of the road.  We tried to bring it home with us, but Jamis freaked out.

After we returned from our nature time, Devan changed his clothes and said I should too because one of his Attendings was stopping by for a bit.  When I asked Devan why he cared what he had on he said, "I'm a Plastic Surgeon now, Jenae, I have to always look the part."  Now I knew something was up.  Devan never cares who he is around, he is always the same.  Sure enough, I came out to the living room and a young woman from our ward is sitting there ready to babysit (Devan had arranged this with her a week before) and Devan shews me out the door.  Sneaky little devil.  He took me to a sweet little Thai restaurant that I had been eyeing since we moved here (which by the way he had no idea of, but knew me well enough to know where I'd want to go eat).  Oh, SOOOO good.  During dinner he whips a camera out of his pocket and asks the waitress to take a picture of us.  It took me a minute to realize that I had never seen this camera before.  That stinker had not really gone into work that morning, but had really gone out and bought me a pocket size camera that I've been wanting for years.  We had a good laugh at how in trying to "help" plan the day, I had made a TON of behind the scene clean up for him.  The lengths I unknowingly put him through to keep my day a surprise.  What a doll.   

First Pic with my new Camera

Good morning to my boys.  Now I can take pics of them everywhere we go!

What a Great Day!!!  Guess turning 30 really isn't that bad.
