US lately

I thought I better do a general update of our lives  these days...
-We got a cat...I know I never like them either.  But  our boys LOVE animals and it is better then having to worry about a dog.  Her name is Nana, because that is the only word Knox says, haha.  She has been a really a joy, she even killed a mouse in the garage today!
-Knox feeds himself every meal...He wont even eat a piece of peanut butter bread with out a fork.  He yells "mama!!"  as he points at the fork drawer with a "du" luck on his face.
-Holden is a sweetheart.  He takes such good care of Knox.
-Holden changed his name to Sam...we cant figure out why.   We will ask him something and he will snap at you and say "you mean SAM!"
-Knox still only has 5 teeth. And the fifth comes and goes, it is really weird.  I am glad, I have read that it is healthier to get them later.
-He still wont talk!
-Knox loves to read stories, and I love to read them to him.
-Holden gags at the smell of anything.  DO NOT ever fart in front of him, he will vomit on the spot.  The nicest old lady came by to visit the other day, and she picked him up, and he caught a whiff of her breath.....Talk about embarrassing!! He started gagging and dry heaving right in front of her!  Luckily he didn't say anything.
-We have become faithful family home evening doers, now that Holden is old enough, and it has been so fun.  We have been learning lots.
-We recently had our 4th anniversary!!! I love him more every year....I think that is a great sign!
-Rye turned 24, and has a gray beard, I find it handsome, he HATES it.
-We moved cows with most of Rye's whole family a bit ago.  It was a blast!!!  I got to ride with Knox, and Holden rode all by himself.
-Young men's and women's is going great, we are having a blast.
-We have been enjoying going to town events like football games.
-We have been four wheeling.
-We all had the flu yesterday.....ugh..It's times like those where motherhood is unbearable!! especially when one kid starts vomiting in the kitchen as the other falls and splits his head open (2 inches long) and I cant even stand up without wanting to cry! ....I SURVIVED though, and so did they...rye had it at work =(
-I deleted my facebook and haven't even noticed.  I thought I would miss it.  It's been almost two months.
-I have been obsessed with growing my hair out and I have not touched it for a year!!  I love short hair but I always feel old ladyish when I cut mine.  I grow it out and then I always cut it and hate it!! I have been strong though!!  Rye loves long hair so hopefully I can keep it up.
-I think everyone needs to start blogging more...-Does anybody else love the Allstate commercial with the "mayhem" raccoon guy in the attic, haha! rye and I watch it over and over again!
-We walked outside the other day and both the boys were standing on the tops of their bikes, talk about a proud daddy!
Hope everyone is doing good!

I LOVE hearing about your life! I noticed you deleted your facebook, and I miss you! Sophie doesn't talk much either, I just write down all the words that she's said, but she doesn't usually say them often. I love that Holden changed his name!
