The Sperry's

So last week when Cade was supposed to be napping he had a little accident. We have changed the locks on his door so he can't get out at nap time.(Yes it has resorted to that sadly)He fights naps but he is so tired and cranky when he doesn't get them. He has literally fallen asleep standing up before.(So stubborn) Anyways he was supposed to be in bed when I hear a crash and him crying. I go up to find him on the floor holding his face with blood all over his hands and mouth. I think I'm a bad mom because I was more mad than panicked at this situation- I guess I'll just chalk it up to seeing so much in nursing school. He stopped crying when I picked him up and hugged him so I knew he was ok too. I took him to the bathroom and started cleaning him up and tried to find the source of his bleeding. I thought it was from inside his mouth but I finally found a huge gash under his chin. I got him to tell me what happened and he told me he jumped off his chair and hit the blinds (which means he hit the window sill) So I told him we needed to go see the doctor to fix his owie. He immediately perked up and said "Yes I go to the doctor to fix my owie. I not take a nap." (Little punk) So he got five stitches at the doctors office. He was very brave and a good little patient through the whole process. When we got home I just let him lay on the couch and watch a movie because he'd been through a lot, and of course he fell asleep right away because he was so tired. (Like I said- so stubborn!) Later that night we had been out and were on our way home. Cade knew it was bed time before I even said anything. As I was pulling into the garage he says, "Mom I can't go to bed I have an owie, so I can't go night night". (Like I said- little punk!) It's scary and funny how his little mind works and that he made the connection of getting out of his naptime earlier. Oh we love our little Cade-ster even though he can be quite a handful.

Yeah it's been a while- November has come and gone! So here's what we've been up to...

Rob has been working his tail off. The winter months are always full of long hours and late nights at the club. He did get in some golf earlier this month due to the unusally warm weather. Between the Laker games and BYU football, he/we watched a lot of sports lately. He and I went to the BYU/Utah game over Thanksgiving weekend and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves (4th and 18-- that's gotta hurt Utes). We spent Thanksgiving with his family and it was very yummy! We watched movies, went bowling, and the girls had a shopping extravaganza! It was lots of fun!

I've been hanging out being mom and playing way too much tennis. One week I played tennis 7 times, and that's pretty bad considering there are 6 days of the week to play. I have an addiction problem. I got to play with Rob's sister Tiff in a tournament though which was so fun-- she's way good! Church stuff has been keeping me busy and I will be glad once Super Saturday is over! Other than that I have been taking care of the kiddos, which I have to remind myself is my number one job even though I have many days I feel worthless for not accomplishing anything. :)

Cade has been loving his sister Kaia to the point that he is basically terrorizing her and won't leave her alone. She puts up with it pretty well. His new thing is laying beside her in the same way she is....















This time he went and got her his pillow and blankets and read her some stories. He really did this all himself, and it's a pretty big deal for him to loan out his Cars pillow.
















Cade's stubborness is getting worse I think. (It's really not his fault when you look at his parents) Here he is when we made him stay at the table to eat his dinner..
















We really didn't make him sit that long I promise- he doesn't get a nap Sunday because of late church so it's a hard day when he's tired.

Kaia is just a happy little baby and she's growing so fast. Rob has been "working" with her to hold her own bottle- he likes them independent :) She's doing pretty well..














Maybe not..















She has always been a spitty baby but lately spitty is a bit of an understatement...














We got some medicine for this little acid reflux problem.

We still love her though- how can you not?!!!

I'm being lazy not spreading out these pictures and writing a little caption for them, but hey- at least I posted them. We had a lot of fun this Halloween dressing up the kids, going to parties, and trick or treating. Cade has had a candy overload this week. He literally has been waking up and saying "Mom, I want my candies". He had a lot of fun with his cousin Kylee trick or treating. He thought it was the greatest thing ever- ring the door bell and you get candy!

So my bunco group is a festive bunch and decided to dress up in lieu of Halloween this month. Not only are we festive but we are a little out of control crazy silly as you will see in the pictures (which are probably going to be only funny to us) I look forward to bunco night every month!! Meet the group...

Ok so I thought I'd do one big post to put me up to date before all the Halloween fun begins. So here goes....

TAGGED (by Jess)

6 Facts/Habits about yourself
Tag 6 others at the end and let them know!

My six

1. I'm a junk food junkie. I crave the worst stuff- peanut butter m&m's, hostess cupcakes, donuts, ben and jerry's... Then I complain about wanting to get back to pre- Kaia weight and Rob says "Oh is the peanut butter m&m diet not working out for you? Why don't you try an ice cream one." (Disclaimer- Rob doesn't care about my weight he's just sarcastic and hates my complaining)

2. I'm ultra competitive. Whether it's games, sports (especially tennis), or whatever... Maybe it's becuase I grew up with all brothers

3. I love escaping to an other world of fiction. I love books, tv shows, and movies. With two kids, sometimes I live for this time to escape reality for a few hours.

4. I'm obsessed with jeans. There's nothing better to me than a great pair of jeans. Even when I need shirts or other things I always seem to just buy more jeans.

5. I think I have a sixth sense. Sometimes I know things that are going to happen before they do. Examples: I knew my drawing was going to be picked to go on the yearbook cover in 5th grade (not hoped, knew.) I knew what was going to be on the TV guide cover one week (sounds dumb but I did). I've known two of my church callings before they were extended to me. I knew that Rob and I were going to date before we actually met.(I know it sounds crazy but it's true! sometimes I think I'm a little crazy)

6. I'm deathly afraid of sharks. I love the ocean and even lived in Hawaii for a semester but I still can't shake the fear. I still go in the water but I'm always thinking about it. Rob always tells me statistics that he reads about how you're more likely to be struck by lightning or only 1 in like hundreds of thousands people get attacked. But I know that I would be the one- remember how I know things...

I'm tagging Jodi, Tiff, Lauren, Lisa, Lindsey, Janelle

TWINNERS

Out to dinner for Jaren's bday and Nicolle and I show up in the exact same outfit. This can sometimes be embarassing but we just laughed, complemented each other on good taste :), and took a pic. This has actually happened to us before too.
