Happy Anniversary!

So, for those of you who have a hard time turning your head slightly to the right and reading that little box right there, Natalie and I have been married for 7 years now. Actually, Nov. 24th was our anniversary (yes, I know I'm a few minutes late, but Dad had a cramp, so I was helping him). We actually celebrated on Saturday night by going out for dinner and gelato, while watching people trying to "ice skate" on a giant plastic cutting board. Oh, the stupid things we do in AZ to pretend we are like the rest of the country. Anyway, we had fun and you can actually read a little more about it on my Bogle Family Farms blog (also, see right; you don't even have to turn your head really, just your eyes). We did, however, go out for a romantic lunch today. Applebee's is great with two little boys! I know this sounds cheesy, but I am really glad to have my anniversary so close to Thankgiving, because the two events have so much in common. Not so much in how they are celebrated, but it what they mean. I am so grateful for and to my wife for so many reasons. I just hope I let her know that more often than I make her think otherwise.

Twilight Movie

After convincing of a few of the YW in my ward, I went to the 12:01 showing of Twilight last night. I had told Megan I didn't want to go with them because it was to late but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to spend some time with a few girls in my ward. Here we are Cassi (my friend from high school), Me, Jessie Speirs, Alli Farnsworth, and Kylie. I had promised Cassi that we would go to the movie together so she decided to come along to the midnight showing.

If you know me at all this is quit a defeat to stay up till 2:00 in the morning. I am not a night person. Anyways we arrived at 9:00 to wait in line so we could get good seats. We were behind about 80 people and just outside. I really didn't want to wait outside in the cold all night. Luckily they let us in the theatre at 9:40. There were two theatres so we got great seats. I had a great time chatting with the girls and eating candy.

The movie was great. I do believe you would have to had read the books to really enjoy. I do hate to think that in the next book Edward leaves. This kind of ruined the ending for me. I just couldn't enjoy the ending knowing that he was leaving. Anyways the movie was fun and I am glad I went at midnight. The whole experience was great!

Halloween Fun

This year was our first year carving pumpkins. Brecken was so excited. Nana B even let us use her white pumpkin to carve. It came out really neat. Brecken wasn't so hot on digging out all the gew but he at least tried.

He let Dad do all the hard work.

Here are the boys on Halloween with their pumpkins. They loved them.

This year Brecken decided he wanted to be Handy Manny. He saw this cheesy costume at Target and wouldn't be anything else. Luckily Tom decided to make the costume. It turned out really cute. Tom made all the tools with eyes and mouths. After seeing Brecken get all these cool tools, Karsten ditched the Spiderman idea and wanted to be Handy Manny too. Brecken was a little upset but we explained that Karsten wasn't Handy Manny, he was Handy Manny Jr. He was okay with that idea. Here are the boys with GG. Everyone at GG's place loved the costumes.
Karsten loved all his tools especially Dusty!!We all had a great Halloween!

Baby Boy #3!!!

For those of you that didn't know, we found out yesterday that we are expecting our little boy number 3! Who would have thought that I would have three boys. We are so excited.

Before the ultrasound, I really thought we were having a girl. Only because Brecken insisted that we were having a girl. He said he needed a little brother and a little sister. Since he already had a little brother his little sister was on the way. I thought he was right. You know how they say little children have that intuition.

A few days before the ultrasound, I began thinking we could actually have a boy. It would be weird to have three boys. I do know how to raise boys so it wouldn't be to hard.

After the ultrasound, I was a little surprised but so excited. I had to figure out how to break the news to Brecken. I came home and told him he was going to have a little brother. He kind of gave me a blank stare. Then he said, "Now I will have two brothers and a little sister!" Hopefully one day he will get his little sister.

It was so funny going through the ultrasound pictures with the boys. We had a few 3-D shots and regular shots. You could actually see a real baby. Ultrasounds have really come a long way, even since Brecken. The boys favorite picture was the one of the baby's pee pee. They just laughed and giggled and kept saying, "Its his pee pee!" Karsten even saying, "I see pee pee picture." It was so funny.

We are so excited for our new little baby boy to come into our house. Can't wait until March 31st!

Family Photo Shoot

Last week we had family pictures with my Dad and his wife Mary and my sisters. The day before, we found out Karsten had double ear infections. He hated all the pictures. These are the best pictures we got of him. He cried through the entire photo shot. The only family picture that Karsten was looking in and my Dad is making a funny face. Oh well, what do you expect when you have fourteen people including five children. Here is Brecken with his substitute brother, I mean his cousin Hudson.
We did get a lot of fun photos of the other cousins. Here's Nichole's little girls, Kylie and Jacey.

I love this picture of Jacey. Isn't she so adorable!

It is too bad that our photo shot did not work out the way I wanted it to. We will always have the memories.

Fun in the Irrigation

Tom and Reuben decided to irrigate. The boys loved playing in the irrigation.
I love this picture. Here comes Brecken!
Karsten wading through the water.Little Catcher even got to play in the irrigation.
Uncle Ty is so cool. He even got in and played with the boys. The boys played soccer and had lots of fun. Until Karsten got bit by about 20 ants. I felt so bad. I have no idea where they came from. He got to play in the hose naked. Therefore, Brecken thought he needed to be naked. (I couldn't catch these embarrasing moments because my camera died.) The boys had a great time. They even got to walk home naked. A boys dream come true.

Its Been A Long Time

Brecken started soccer last week. Brecken and Zo (his cousin) are on the same team.Brecken has mixed feeling about soccer. He seems to love it until he has to go in and fight for the ball. At this age, they only play three on three. There is no goalie. Just get the ball and head for the goal. Brecken did a lot of pointing to his other team mates telling them which way they should dribble the ball. We will see as the season goes if he likes it better or not.
Here he is warming up. He is all excited.
Here they are getting in some warmup kicks. The game was hilarious to watch. The kids had no idea what they were doing. We have several weeks to work on that.

On a different note, Karsten turned 2 a few weeks ago. He thinks he is four like his brother. He threw an all out fit because he did not get new soccer shoes. When he is old enough he can play. He is actually really good at dribbling the ball.

Here he is in his batman outfit. He loves to dress up and chase everyone around with his sword.

Isn't this little knight adorable!
