Sundy Attire

We just thought our boys looked pretty cute one day so we took some pictures...

Our Lot

So for those of you who don't know. We finally decided to build a house. We still haven't sold but we actually showed it three times last week and once already this week. We are being hopefully. This is a picture of our lot and the outline for the excavator to dig. There is currently a hole now. I'm sure Neal will get an updated picture as he wants pictures of every phase of the building process. We are so excited about the lot. We chose the biggest lot they had which was .27 acres. We can't wait for the kids to have a place to run and destroy outside.

Halloween Fun

The boys had a great time trick or treating. Neal took them out and I got to stay home and hand out treats. They were gone for quite awhile and they even stopped by just for a moment to show me their spoils. I tried to get Josh to put a coat on but he refused I think because it would take too much time away from the receiving of more treats in his bag. I can't wait for them to run out of treats. I feel like a terrible parent because they are eating treats 24 hours a day and I know a dentist trip will be unavoidable in the near future.

Goblin Valley

Here are some pictures taken around Neal's birthday. Neal, his dad and brothers-in-law took a trip to Goblin Valley. I think it was a pretty fun trip and an opportunity to have a couple of days with the guys.
On a side note: I wanted to update everyone on Neal's condition. He had a doctors appointment last week and he was happy to report that the current medication he is on has significantly lowered his liver enzyme levels to almost normal levels. This means he will be taking this medication for the rest of his life or at least for the next 10+ years until a transplant is necessary.
We couldn't be happier to finally get some good news from the doctor about Neal's condition. In the mean time he will have ultrasounds every six months and an upcoming scan to make sure they have found the actual source of the problem in his bile ducts. I can't remember the name of the scan but he will have to be sedated for the procedure.

The kids are scary in their halloween costumes. We went to the activity at the church. Max was so patient and so determined to win a cupcake in the cupcake walk. They never called his number so his dad had to go rig the drawing so his good efforts could pay off.

The Twin's New Found Career

As you can probably guess the twins have discovered their artistic side. Neal and I have discovered that we need to put or throw things away quickly before a new use is found. Here comes the story...Neal and I have been trying to fix up our house a little bit as most of you know we are STILL trying to sell our town home. One of the idea's that was suggested to us was to try staining the cement in our back patio. It's pretty inexpensive and not too hard to do. Well the day after it was finished, we left the remaining stain sitting outside. You can probably figure out the rest of the story. The twins just thought we forgot to finish staining and were helping us finish by staining the fence. Thanks boys! It took us a week and a lot of steel wool and paint stripper to finally remove it all.
They also decided to knock our very "expensive" charcoal grill off our rock wall into the stain that they had also sprayed on the cement ( I guess the thought we had missed some spots.) That's what you see in the middle picture along with the fence staining.
