So as you can tell by the date of my last post I'm doing some serious catch up. I thought since I'd hate to do a post about everything we've done for the last two weeks I just put it all together in one.... so here it goes.
We went to another Suns game. This one was the Suns vs. Trailblazers. It was a great game (the Suns won) and we were able to stay for the entire game.

Just hanging out.
We also planted a garden. I know it seems really late, but hey, better late than never. We did a simple garden with romaine lettuce and tomatoes- things that we normally eat. So far I haven't killed anything either!! I'll post more detailed pictures of my garden when it actually starts looking more like veggies and less like new transplants.

Beaming with excitement over our yummy vegetables to come.
My sister and I got together to go to lunch. This is a huge treat considering that Becca's the busiest person I know and I never eat out. Marley especially loved spending time with Aniston, she absolutely adores her cousin. Later on that afternoon we went to go see my sister's newly laid headstone. Unfortunately we happened to go on the day that the cemetery irrigates. The picture isn't the greatest but it's nice to see that she has a place and that it's marked.
Halloween has to be one of my favorite holidays. I grew up in a home where my mom made our costumes each year and I love this idea. I plan on making it a tradition in our family (hopefully, as long as I can). So this year I searched the Internet for cute costumes, and eventually decided that my kids were going to be chickens. I used some onesies, babylegs, a feather boa and my awesome sewing skills and ta-da, here's my little chickens. The kids wore their costumes to the ward party as well. Mike and I also dressed up as crossing guards.
Halloween night we got together with some friends from the ward for some yummy chili and goodies. Afterward we took the kids trick-or-treating. This was Marley's first official year trick-or-treating and she had a blast.

Who are you calling chicken?
Pooped!

I finally decided that I had enough of Michael sleeping in our bed/room. Don't get me wrong, I love cuddling with my little guy and having him close for all of those late night feedings but I'm so ready to get my space back. So last weekend we bought Marley a big girl bed and this weekend we switched the kids rooms around. I was completely excited but yet a little apprehensive since all this moving meant that we were going to have to give up our office space. So in turn our two computers and our filing cabinet were going to somehow fit in our room. Yay!
Last night at bedtime. She's excited.
Napping.
First of all Michael is growing so fast. He's almost four months old and the time has flown by. Michael is also a big boy, he's not really fat he's just really long- I plan on posting his stats after his 4mo check-up. He has also become so interactive. He loves to smile and started smiling at an earlier age than Marley. He is so easy to smile and laugh as well. His giggle cracks me up. Check it out. Here's some video of Michael laughing that my sister in law posted on her blog.
Bath time. Look at that face.

Marley is getting to be such a big girl. We're potty training, it's challenging but we are making some progress. Marley's vocabulary is incredible. She is talking so much now, sometimes I want to tell her to be quiet. Marley is such a big helper especially with her brother. She's always very concerned about him, she brings him toys when he's crying. She's such a great big sister. I 'm so excited to see her grow. Here's some recent pictures of Marley.
Marley fell asleep on the way home from swimming at the gym. She was in the middle of eating a banana, part of it is on her face. I thing she's so angelic when she's sleeping.
This girl is all about shoes and they don't even have to match.I'm constantly picking up shoes all the time.
Some of you may know that my husband is an avid runner. He recently did a running challenge with two of his brothers using the Nike Plus system and his Ipod to track his miles. In one months period, he ran over 104 miles. This was crazy, Mike was running in the morning and at night. I didn't mind so much because I wanted him to win. He ended up hurting his knee just when his brother hurt his ankle. Everyone was so worn out that they decided to call it a draw. 
From left to right: my sister Rebecca & her daughter Aniston, Mike's brother Bill Jr. & wife Cari, Mike's brother Brian & wife Lindsay with their cute little guy Colby, Mikes Dad Bill Sr., Us, my parents Flavio & Carol, Mike's sister Jenny, Mike's Brother Jared & wife Melanie. We're so grateful for everyone that came. We love you guys.

For Labor Day weekend we went to visit my parents in Nogales. I have to say the weather down there was so nice. We hung out and took it easy. We went shopping in downtown Nogales. We also got Michael a blessing outfit-pictures to come.
Marley went swimming with Gpaw 
Michael got his toes wet with Grandma
My dad took us sight seeing around Nogales. Nogales gets a lot more rain than Phoenix so it is really beautiful and green.
Grandma and Gpaw have a new kitten named Manchas that Marley loved playing with. She finally realizes that a cat says meow instead of baa- long story. She also loves playing with Chula, Grandma and Gpaws dog.
Here's our family. Marley is pointing at the water.
