Two 2 yr. olds.

My two 2 yr. olds. For 32 days Brynn and Colton are the same age, so when people ask me how old they are for one month I get to say 5, 2, and 2. Brynn turned 2 on Aug 28th and Colton turns 3 Sept. 29th. Apparently we wanted twins, so since we didn't have any we decided to just to see if we could defy the odds of having them under a yr. apart. Something like that. No it wasn't planned. But thier best friends and we love it.

Little did I know that Halloween came early this year. Trey and his friend Malia decided to raid the costume box and apparently I need more costumes. Colton got to wear Brynn's costume from last year. They paraded around the neighborhood knocking on doors asking for candy. Where was I? Everybody loved Colton's costume, he was just so excited to be involved with the big kids. He does make a very cute octupus though.

Colton was trying to learn how to walk around in flip flops without the backs on, Brynn doesn't seem to have a problem figuring it out, but Colton on the other hand....

Our Busy Lives

So everybody has been asking me what we've been up to since we haven't blogged in so long. Trying to find the time has been difficult, but I'll just condense our lives so people know what we've been up to and what we are up to.
For some reason I've taken up activities that I haven't done for -oh 10yrs. or so. I play soccer Monday, Wednesday and Friday, V-ball on Thursday, and we have a tennis match against the Foy's every Sunday. Bens plays soccer on Thursdays, and Trey has soccer practice every Wed. and games on Saturday. I've become a little too obsessed with playing, but those who want to take up soccer just let me know cause we put togethor teams every season.
We've also started about 10 different company's in the last year. www.blanksnowboards.com, Benson and Rob's baby has just launched. Whoever needs a board come our way, you can get all the info on this site and although Jeannie and I felt like neglected wives while our husbands went snowboarding ALL the TIME, we are proud of them for doing a really good job. Bens also has been doing a website with some friends called www.visitmyreception.com that is a really cool website for engaged couples. I have recently started a non-profit org. called MACE, (Mothers for Afordable Clean Energy) our website is www.macenergy.org and this has become my obsession lately. We are getting the website giong, slowly, but I'm working with the most amazing women; Judy Shiffman, and Paula Coggins. Basically, what we are doing is informing the public about energy, (coal, oil drilling, oil shale, ) and informing people about all the things that the exreme environmentalists don't want you to know. We'll be working with politicians to help move drilling in our country along and get away from depending on the middle east and Venezuala.
Benson has also been working on a car dealership called Amicus Auto, two rental properties (in S.L. and Ogden) companies called 5M and Pareto that are investment companies that Benson started two or three years ago, and doing law work for Powder Mtn., friends that need a lawyer for whatever reason, and the full time attorney for Delta Advisors, and EPF.
But I think the hardest thing I'm tackling right now is potty training Colton and Brynn. Heaven Help Me, who would of thought potty training could be so damn hard!?! Any advice would be great. Do you think you should ask them if they need to go or let them ask you? and although I've done this before with Trey, Brynn and Col don't seem to care if they are wet and dirty. I'm open to advice at this point so send it my way.

Trey turned 5 this July and got some fun new toys, like a razor and skateboard and so he decided to pose as if he was riding one. We forgot to take our camera to his party. DUH. But maybe he'll just remember how his mom did such an amazing job with his party, and making such a great cake:) who needs a camera?

Trey and Brynn really liked all the rides. Bens and I never rode one ride cause the two wanted to keep going on the rides over and over.

This summer we went to Lagoon and it was really fun, but for all those who know Colton, know that if he's not in control of things then he just freaks out. So we decided to try the easiset ride at Lagoon and Brynn felt so bad for him she comforted him the whole time patting his back and giving him kisses. I'm sure someday he'll love knowing that his little sister was their to make him feel safe, maybe he'll return the favor in the future.
