Howdy Y'all

For the past week or so I've been trying to get my boys to decide what they want to be for Halloween. I've spent too many October 30ths still sewing costumes, so I thought I'd get a head start this year. As we were going through the costume box to see if there is anything that can be re-used we found the cowboy hat from Ky's costume last year. After Landon and Kyler each wore it on they wanted Nathan to have a turn too... and boy did he look cute!!

Mommy's big helper

I was folding clothes the other day and Nathan was just laying on my bed so I decided to let him help. He was holding all of Jon's socks for me (yes they are clean). He actually got kind of up set when I started to put them away because he lost his new play toys.

Dinosaur Train!!

Okay so those of you who don't have kids or don't watch PBS my boys have a new show that they absolutely love called Dinosaur Train. It is a great show and I have actually learned a lot too. Well, the other day I found Landon and Kyler playing down stairs with their Dinosaurs and their Geo Trax train set. I asked what they were doing and I got the response.... playing dinosaur train!

How much has Nathan grown....

Okay, so was taking pictures of the boys (nothing unusually) but when I was downloading the pics I decided to compare them to see how much Nathan truly has grown. I can't believe my baby is 4 months (in a few days). One of my favorite parts of this pic is the size difference in Nathan's thighs.

Being Spiderman

This past weekend we went to a birthday party at a park. Landon and Kyler were excited to play on the toys, especially this one that looked like a spider-web. These days both boys are very into playing super heroes. (even though they have never seen any of them on TV etc. Just from walking through the toy section at stores and by what their friends do and say they have become pros at superheroes.

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like.... Autumn Time


Lately in Utah it has started to look and feel a little more like fall. Which gets me a little excited for all the fun holidays to come. So this morning Landon and Kyler brought their special Grandma blankets out to the couch with them. As usually Kyler asked to hold Nathan as soon as he wakes up, so here are my boys all snuggled up.

Hop N Pop

Nathan has gotten to the point where he gets his bouncer bouncing a little too much but can't sit up by himself. He likes his bumbo but doesn't have anything to do. So Aunt Sarah is letting us use their hop n pop. Nathan didn't know what to think at first but now is starting to like it. He is still a little small to get it to 'pop' by himself but is entertained anyways. Pretty soon he'll be getting it really hopping and popping.

Back 2 School!

This past Wednesday was the boys first day of preschool. A friend in the neighborhood has started a preschool in her basement. The boys had a blast and it gives me some time to spend with just Nathan. Jon too is back in school but I don't think he would have a smile like this unless it was graduation day.

Tug-A-War

It's kind of a bad pic but this is Landon and Kyler playing tug-a-war against Dash. They use an old blanket that Dash sleeps with. Dash is getting so big/strong that he can pull both the boys around the house on the blanket.

Soccer Bloopers!!!

So Landon's soccer game on Saturday was very 'entertaining'. I really wish I had my video camera to be able to capture the moments. Well, Landon scored a goal... to bad it was for the other team! Then when he was taking the ball down the field and doing a great job dribbling he stopped mid-stride pick up a dandelion that he saw on the grass. So Landon's not the next David Beckham, but he is have fun and that's the important part!!

3 months old already!

Well, my baby is now 3 months old. He is the sweetest baby and has started to become a little clingy with Mommy. He has started to like to hold things so the first pic is him in the bouncer with his 'blankie buddy'. Nathan is very strong and has a very good grip/pinch. He was always trying to sit up so we got him a Bumbo.

Go Tigers!!!!

Saturday was Landon's first soccer practice/game. He was very excited and did a good job considering they are just a bunch of 4-5 year olds run back and forth.

Landon and Bryon (his cousin) are on the same team.

Bath Time!!!

Tonight during bath time I decided to bust out the camera. Lately Landon has decided that he is too big to take a bath with his little brother (although he still does some times). So while Landon was using my shower I put Kyler and Nathan in the tub. I usually bathe Nathan in the kitchen sink but thought we would enjoy the big tub. Thanks to my little infant seat thing he could splash in the tub without having Mommy holding him the entire time. After bath time was over I decided to get all three boys together in their hooded towels for one last picture.

Is that Amazing?!

So Kyler's new favorite phrase/question is 'Is that Amazing?' He uses it all the time. He takes a big bite of his dinner 'is that amazing', he shoves his whole hand in his mouth 'is that amazing?', He makes a Lego creation 'is that amazing?'. I just have to smile every time my little Ky Guy shares another 'amazing' thing from his life.

Oh No!!!

While I was making dinner on Friday I had Nathan just chilling in his bouncer. It got pretty quiet so I figured he had falling asleep, when I turned around this is what I found. He was sucking his thumb!! When he pulled it out I promptly put his binky in and that little stinker pulled the binky out and put his thumb back in. I really don't want to have to break the thumb sucking habit so I always encourage the binky instead. I hope Nathan doesn't make this a permanent thing.

2 Months Old!!

I can't believe that my little baby is 2 months old now. He is the sweetest baby... he is very happy and has started to smile for us. I took him in for his check-up and shots today and here are his stats... weight: 13 lbs 8 oz, length: 24 inches.

While in Utah for the wedding we had a chance to get together with my brother's family. (from left to right) Sam, Benjamin, Kyla holding Nathan, Kyler, and Landon. It was so great to see Michael and Donna and the kids had a blast playing together.... Thanksgiving is going to be lots of fun!!!!
