I was sick the week of Brayden's birthday, so we didn't celebrate it until a week after! He didn't mind.;o) He actually ate the cake and loved it! He's such a goober. He's a very determined, mischevious little boy. He'll go to the tv to push some buttons and look to see if i'm watching then look back at the tv, back at me (with a smile now) and then start pushing buttons! Little stinker! We also discovered that he is allergic to eggs and I'm definitely thinking milk too. I started giving it to him slowly and the next day he had diarrhea, same thing happened when i tried introducing it again once the first round of diarrhea ended. So, we'll be making a trip to see the doctor one of these days. Anyway, we just love him and he is so fun!

Halloween... a little late!
I'm a bit behind, so I'll do a quick catch-up! Here are some Halloween pics. We did trunk-or-treating with Tyrell and Rose and the kiddies. Dallas was a cop, I was a superhero (remember college days here...going to see the incredibles???) Hyrum was a dinosaur and Brayden was a clown.

New Hair... again!
I already said that I cut my hair in Seattle...well...now I've dyed it AGAIN! the same color as last time, which I LOVE! However, last time I had Rose to help...this time I had Dallas! AAAAAAAAHHHH!!! I know...scary! I'd ask him if he saw any missed spots and he would say "I guess not" drove me nuts! From now on...Rose will help me, not Dallas. ;o)
I know I'm weird!
SO..... After going to Kyan's wedding, I really wanted to get "married" again to Dallas. So, a few days after I got home I convinced dallas to play my game. We got in our wedding attire (can't find my vale!!! sad) and watched the video recording of us coming out of the temple. I was certain that there was no way I could ever fit into that dress again!! Well... i couldn't ;op I was surprised that my arms still fit in though! ;o) hehe. So I just zipped it as much as possible and then dallas safety pinned the top. Dallas doesn't fit too good into his suit either! ha! *sigh* anyway I thought the rest of you would get a kick out of this.

Washington!!!
Erika and I made it back from Washington on Monday afternoon. We had a TON of fun...here's the trip details: Thursday....we left around 8am to go to Amber's house. We got a little side-tracked by a "chocolate factory" sign and some outlet malls. ;O) 
When we got to Amber's house we were going to jump out of a box at her (in memory of some college fun) but it turns out businesses just don't keep their boxes anymore..that big anyway. So this is a video of what we did instead. (i had amber's snowboard while she was on her mission...that's what we put on the door step)
Friday...we drove to Seattle and did some sight-seeing...let's just say every where we went people said "you're not from around here...are you?" I guess we stuck-out like a sore thumb! The mountains were beautiful! On the drive Amber read to us from "Mars and Venus on a date" it was very interesting...especially since i'm already married.
We stayed at Erika's old youngwomen's president's house while we were in seattle. They have 2 hilarious children that put on "performances" for us. So fun! Saturday... we went to Pikes Market which I would have to say was our funnest touristy thing we did.
The flowers were gorgeous. We had a funny thing happen too. We were waiting at a crosswalk and some guy ran a red light (slowly) and this older lady stood in the road flagging him down, telling him to stop. Then she slammed her hand on the hood of his car! So, the guy rolled down his window and kept yelling, "lady! you don't touch my car!" he kept yelling it even when she was a block away. pretty funny. Later that day we went to the temple and met Kyan, who was waiting for Rose to show up to do some pictures before the wedding.
Erika, Amber and I did a session at the temple and then met the wedding crowd outside after. Rose seems absolutely perfect for Kyan....very pretty AND funny.
During pictures we had to keep flagging down kyan to get his attention because he kept putting his hand on her neck and it looked really weird for pictures. He eventually got the "sign language" and put it around her waist. Between the wedding and the reception we went and got my hair cut!!! chopped off the nasty mullet that was forming from the last hair cut. Now it is an A-line and I really like it. Now all I need to do is dye it again. That night we went to the reception and met Ashley. She is a friend that Kyan found when he lived in SLC. It's no wonder they are friends!!! She would have fit in with the 206 girls for sure.
We laughed about how similar Kyan STILL is....always calling to go shopping and then there is the process of purchasing a car. Several trips to the dealer to look at it (remember this girls!?) and then the random car honking in the driveway for a ride in the newly purchased vehicle. Well, it turns out he did the same thing when he bought his Lexus...only Ashley was the friend instead of the 206 girls. It was pretty funny. The reception was a lot of fun and Kyan was just beaming! 
Sunday we drove back to Amber's for church. While there, her dad graciously announced that i was married. ;o) Also, Amber's mom kept calling her dad this (what seemed to be) random name! Turns-out it was his real first name, but I decided I'm going to start calling Dallas by a random name...instead of honey! what do you think? Just before bed we played the all-time amber game of assigning a question to a different color of skittle (in this case m&m). It was fun telling old memories... highs and lows of the weekend (i'd forgotten that tradition!). It really was so fun to see amber again! To those of you who are wondering the details of amber, here you go!
*She is still as silly as ever
*Something new: she's very concerned about safety-watching out for someone who might steal something, etc. (comes from her mission)
*She looks EXACTLY the same! No mission pounds for this woman! ;o)
OH! and we watched "the video" with her parents....yes emily!! we did. ;o) It really was a fabulous weekend with my old roommates! I just love those girls. The rest of you were greatly missed! The only bad thing was that Hyrum got sick and puked at 4:30am (on dallas' watch) and then Dallas got sick the day i came home and brayden later that night...so....now it is my turn. Today I had stomach cramps and other undelightful symptoms of the flu. However, it's been a 24hr thing for the rest of the crew, so hopefully it'll be the same for me!

Just some random stuff
Crazy thing happened Friday morning! Dallas was getting ready to leave for school and he came back into our room at 6:30am and said, "Cecilia...there's a car parked in our yard. should i call the police or can you?" AAAHHH!!! So, I jumped out of bed and sure enough there was a Blazer in our backyard. Not in the middle of the yard, but definitely not just pulled off to the side of the road. Dallas left for school and I called the police. While I was describing the car (as best I could at a dark 6:30am)the lights turned on and they drove off. So, I got off the phone and once it was light out, I went outside to see if there was any damage to the lawn and I saw it parked in our neighbor down the road's driveway!! So, I called the police again and they were supposed to come and check it out...but never did! And I haven't seen it since. Crazy huh?
Let's see...what else has been going on??? Dallas and I went to Rich Dad Poor Dad class and it was really good. I highly recommend everyone to take it! There really just hasn't been much happening...which is why I haven't updated my blog! oh well... i'll toss some fun pics of the boys on and call it good.

Happy B-Day Dallas
Happy B-day to Dallas (yesterday)! He's officially joined me in the "true" adult age of 25! (yes... i am older....by a month!) I say "true" adult age, because even though you're married and have a couple of kids you cannot rent a car until that magic number 25! anyway... Dallas has been very busy with commuting to Pocatello for school full-time and also squeezing in 30 hours of work! He gets those 30 hours in just a few days too! So... he often pulls an all-nighter. Poor GUY!!! I feel pretty bad for him, but I am grateful that he is willing to make those sacrifices for our family. For his birthday the boys and i jumped on him in bed (after sleeping in...only an hour extra, but it works)and gave him his gift-all the Harry Potter movies, his rediculous "cop" sunglasses that he loves, and some swedish fish. We also let him eat breakfast in bed. For dinner I made him a "phillipino" dinner (pretty tastey i might add). I think he had a pretty good birthday! ;o) Sorry the slideshow is pretty lame... i'm limited on the pics i have and didn't realize it! Let's see...here are some fun facts about Dallas...
*His favorite food is Tacos.
*He's still a little kid when it comes to BMX biking and Snowboarding. He just built a little jump in our backyard.
*He's actually a really good cook! He can just whip something up and it tastes great!
*He loves his job...well the people more than the work.
*He dreams about the Pillipines ALL the time... someday he'll get to go back. ;o)
*He rarely brushes his teeth... just because he forgets!
*He actually watched Anne of Green Gables with me and liked the 1st movie.
*He and his brother, Tyrell can still spend hours talking to eachother (if they had that much time!)
Anyway... to those of you that knew Dallas back in the akward teenage years... what do you remember about him? Any good stories!? The rest of you may share as well... don't want to exclude anyone from the fun!
