Zane's Bad Day

Tonight Zane got on his XBox to play online with a few of his friends and he made a sound thats a bit more dramatic than usual with his shooting games. I looked over and his head was on the table he had fallen victim to the Red Ring Of DEATH!!! This happens when the xbox has a fatal error and 3 blinking red lights. Seriously a very sad night, lets all have a moment of silence for Zane's XBOX it is a valued member of the family (to Zane anyway). He will have to wait an estimated 3 weeks before it will be back safely at home for him to give his undivided attention to once again.
Luckily thanks to me I convinced Zane to buy the Wii version of Lego Batman earlier this week. We can still play this together while he waits in morning.

Dallas Zoo




On Saturday we had nothing planned so we up and decided it would be fun to go to the Dallas Zoo and it was a lot of fun for all of us. The boys were amazing the whole time. We will be going back many more times and it will all be free with the membership we got seriously good deal it works to get us in free at numerous zoos and such, even the Portland zoo. We will for sure be going there while we are in town for 2 weeks at Christmas. All and all the day was a great adventure for the 4 of us, its rare its just us for a Saturday outing like this,

Our little nudist


A few weeks ago we were at my sister Calli's house hanging out and Calli asks me if I know where Keegan is. I reply no, what did he do now. He likes to do mischievous things at their house. And she leads me into their room and we continue on into the bathroom and she points to the shower and this is what we found. He had stripped his clothes off and climbed in and was trying to turn on the water. Serriously cute but man I cant take my eye off this kid for one second these days.

Tub Racing



Zane and Konnor came up with this new little game they called it tub racing. Zane put Konnor in one of the toy tubs and was zooming him all over the house for like an hour. Konnor was giggling so hard it was hillarious. Sadly I didnt get the clip then I was busy with dinner prep. We got this one after dinner Konnor was walking around with the tub trying to figure out how to get back into it so he could ride again.
Why is it so hard to get in here and be comfy.I got it lets go dad

Breaking Dawn

So I finished this last Friday it was awesome. I love how it has a happy ending, and all the little twists. Im not sure if every one has heard yet but someone that Stephanie Meyer trusted leaked 264 pages of the next book Midnight Sun out onto the internet. She said she has put the book on an indefinite date, so whenever she feels better about the whole situation then she will finish it until then we can go to her website and read what was leaked out. She also said its a rough draft so its not were she would like it to be but she released it so nobody else has to break the rules or feel guilty about reading it. Here is the site Midnight Sun to read more about it from her. And the direct link to the book is draft . I agree with how she feels about the situation but it really sucks cause now we dont know how long we will have to wait for the whole book and we wont know when if ever it will come out. Arg it sucks.

Eclipse


These books are amazing. I got it on friday afternoon and I finished it today during Konnors nap. So of course since there is only one more book to the series I had to get it today. But seriously I love this authors style I can fall right into these stories so easily I love it, I may even become a reader who knows.
It was so funny today I took Konnor to a activity called tiny tots that our city holds in an open gym with all kinds of toys for the kids to play with. We went last year and Keegan loved it, sadly its the same day as preschool. And tons of the ladies from church were there it was so fun I havent seen them in 3 months or so since the ward split so it was awesome. But oddly enough the Twilight Series was brought up and I was serously shocked that 5 had already finished all the books and one had just started the first. It was so fun we talked about it a bit but not much since not everyone had finished them all. I love how this author made a young adult book also appealing to us.

First Day of Preschool

Today was Keegan's first day of preschool ever. I was so excited for him to get to go be a big boy. We were really nervous about it because he didnt like nursery till he was 2 1/2 so we wondered how he would take 5 hrs with strangers. I tried to tell him about going for a while so he would be prepared but who knows if it made any difference.
The teacher said he was a little all over the place at first but she didnt mention crying so thats awesome. It was especially hard to tell how he would do today because this morning he decided to wake up at 430 am and was wide awake ready for the day.
When I got there to pick him up he was laying of the floor just looking around. I was thinking humm kinda silly. Well Apparently he was so tired that after he ate all his lunch he set his head on the lunch table and was out cold. She said they tried to wake him and everything but nothing worked so they moved him to the floor in her room. So he napped for like the last 2 or so hours crazy kid.
I guess today felt like a half day of school for him so we will see on Thursday if he can stay awake for the full 5 hrs and then we will be able to tell how he will do. But we are very optimistic that this will be great for him and that he will learn that speaking is key when he is around so many other kids for so long and that he will speak more words.

This was him finishing his breakfast bar just before leaving for school.

He actually listened for this picture I told him to turn around and walk to the door so we could see him heading off like a big boy with his backpack on. It was so cute.


Here he is just outside the door inside school, his expression and stance crack me up. It looks like to me he is thinking mom whats the big deal and stop making me pose for pics people are looking at me.


At his classroom, they have baby gates up so the kids cant get out and so they dont have to shut the doors. Once he got in he looked at me like up your cageing me up, jezz mom. Then the teacher asked if he needed help getting his bag off and he looked at me like um who is this and now im getting worried here.


He let the teacher help him get it off and he just stared at me so I said go have fun and play bud and he ran off to the chalk board. I didnt stay long enough to see how he would do because he is one that if he sees you leave he will cry so I just slipped away.


After school we went to Sonic to get drinks, gotta love half price drinks. This is Zanes cherry limade, Keegan loved it he had a death grip on the thing. I guess I now know what to get him there, every time I get him something he never drinks it but I hadnt tried this kind on him before. Then when we got home he kept stealing my coke from me saying more more yumm. He is getting to be such a big boy, man they grow so fast.
