Friday Movie Night

We rented Robots and bought some popcorn. The boys looked so sweet together. I remember when it used to be just Jonas, now he has great company to watch a movie with.

Towards the end of it, Angus was getting a little bored so he decided to start throwing some the popcorn out of the bowl. Jonas wasn't happy about that.

Theses two are so funny together and so different, but they get along so well.

(No matter how cold it is, Jonas prefers to be in his undies and look at those chubby little feet on Angus.)

Love them!

Trick or Treat Toy Story Style

(Grandpa, Woody and Buzz. Baby 'Rias as a monkey. The Duo ready for some candy.)

They were the unstoppable duo of Woody and Buzz.

They seriously did not want to stop trick or treating. Angus ate so much candy that night. His pumpkin was fuller than Jonas' because every time they put candy in it, he reached out his hand and said, "little, little," and then everyone would hand him another. He'd try to bite into it right away, before grandma, grandpa, Miah or I could take it from him.

Jonas didn't really eat much candy, but this year he was ready to keep on collecting. Especially after his buddy, Philip, joined us. People would tell him what a great looking cowboy he was and he would instantly inform them that his little brother was buzz light-year. A big mean wolf scared him and grandma Stella. After that, he could not stop talking about it, even to the people who were giving him candy.

"Uh, uh, let me tell you something. A wolf scared my grandma at the spooky house over there."

Fall means...PUMPKINS!

These two are crazy about pumpkins. Especially the boy on the left. He wants to buy one every time we go to the store. We went to a pumpkin patch (not the one pictured) yesterday and he asked me if we could buy one.

I said, "I don't know, we already have five at home." Yes, five, all different sizes.

He then asked dad, and dad said, "Sure."

"Mom, did you hear what dad said? Dad said we could buy a pumpkin!"

He found the perfect one and was very proud of how round and orange it was. He loves them.

Even Angus says, "puh-ken". He even made sure grandma 'Stella had some on her porch for decor.

These boys are my world!

Looking at these two together sends me swooning. Ah, to be in love with the two most beautiful people in my world. Doesn't get any better than this. I forget about the crying fits, the "I wants.." and the occasional or I should say, daily messes. All that is out the window when one of them does or says something sweet. Ah, to be in love...

Sneaky

Who likes to eat and eat and eat whatever yummy thing he can find?

Well, here are some guesses:

• He has big round cheeks and a big round belly.
• He calls most things he sees, "mama".
• His hair is so wispy that it always looks tousled.
• He climbs on tables and chairs no matter the height.

If you guessed Angus, well, that is correct.

(Here he found a Resee's Peanut Butter Cup that belonged

to Jonas. He hid and was ever so quiet with his chocolate

treat.)

Let's play sports

Here's something we Armenta's are not really into...Sports. Hence the gaining of weight by Jeremiah and I. We know we need to move more, maybe not by doing a particular sport, but exercising by any other means would be helpful for our health and our appearance.

Blah!

Jonas and I won this little white ball from one of those fifty cent claw machines. The day after we brought it home, he was curious about how to play soccer. He was playing in the front living room. He'd take breaks to get some water or to tell me something. Then he'd say, "Okay, I have to go play more sports."

We walked to the field by the house and played a little. I really want him to play some kind of sport when he starts kindergarten or something. So that he doesn't grow up to be like I was. Never interested in any sport related activity. I know, so far, he likes baseball and soccer. That's a start.

Shop boys

Dear Miah,

I saw these photos of you and the boys and I just had to post them so that we don't forget how beautiful our boys are. I know work needs to get done and you are the one who has to do it. I also know you miss them a bunch and they miss you too, just as much. Can't wait for work to slow down a bit so you can catch your breath and enjoy these two boys as much as possible.

Love you,

Mona

Summer style

Jonas in his preferred summer outdoor/indoor wear.

When he gets home from school, the store, or just about

anywhere, he instantly undresses down to his undies.

At least he knows he needs to wear clothes when we

go out.

A day at the park

We walked to the park on Friday because it was cloudy, but as we stepped out of the house the sun poked its head out. Ah, the sun. Can't you just hide a bit longer for us to take a nice walk, so that we don't feel as if we are going to burn alive. We made it to the shop, where luckily, Miah had bought us some Subway (he knows how much we like to eat). Jonas and I agreed on a picnic at the park.

First thing we did when we arrived at the park was eat. It was a long walk, we were hungry. The boys played together. Angus is big enough to climb up the slide all by himself. Jonas was excited about that. He saw some kids his age approach the playground and said, "Maybe they can play with me." Then he thought and spoke again, "I'll just play with Angus." That makes me happy. To know that they have each other to play with and have fun.

After eating, sliding, playing, running, falling, a scraping of the knee and a bump from a swing later we were thirsty and ready to head home. Being too tired to walk back, we had Miah pick us up. Thank God Miah works so close, I don't think I could have walked any further than the parking lot.

I wish the weather was like this more often, so that we don't have to wait until it's right around the boys bedtime to go outside.

Can't wait for fall!

What are these two boys going to want when they are older? Hmm, let me guess...

Could it be, motorcycles!

I am going to be one worried mother and wife when they are all out riding together. Good thing that is many years away, but then again, time sure is passing us by quickly.
