Christmas Thieves!

So, we finally got our tree up at the beginning of the month and I tried to put all of the "good" ornaments towards the top of the tree. I had no idea these guys were so tall. Seriously. So much for that idea. They are getting used to it now, though, thank goodness. We are so excited for Santa to come this year. Jack and Kyler have their lists ready...

Photos?

Where or where has our little camera gone? Oh, yeah. Here it is, right by the computer... Okay so I'm not the best picture taker lately but we've been BUSY. Jack and Kyler are fantastic. Kyler says the funniest things, ie.:

(in the middle of church) "go, please?",
he picks up the phone, puts it to his ear and says, "who is it?" then hangs up,
any time there is a crisis he yells "JJJJAAAACCCCKKK!" because it's never his fault,
at the doctors office when they finally call our name he says "All done!"

I just love this stage of exploring. Jack is coming along... fish is a new one for him as well as bye, bye. He is getting really good at sign language though. He signs "more", "please", "book", "play" and he is dragging me around the house when he needs something.

We are all so happy and are getting ready to put up the Christmas tree so I'll post photos soon!

Halloween

Our two sweet pirates! They had such a great Halloween this year. Tons of candy to eat, too. Thanks to everyone for such a great night!

Winter in Phoenix

No, we didn't just get back from Alaska. This is how I had to bundle up the boys today for our jog. Seriously? Phoenix in October? Yep. This is no joke. It was incredibly windy today, which is why the hats, but come on... I thought this was supposed to be the hottest place on earth!

Pumpkin Pickin'

We went to the Botanical Gardens Pumpkin Festival today with Amber, Grandma, Allie, and Jenna. We had so much fun. Jack was trying to put all of the pumkins in the John Deere tracktor, with the help of Lightning McQueen, of course. Kyler loved the chickens in the petting zoo. He kept saying "Please Birds". Sooooo cute. As you can see from the family photo, there was no stopping them to get a good picture. Thanks to Grandma and Amber for the fun day!

Wrinkle Free

So, I haven't updated in a while and was trying to think of what we've been up to lately and this is pretty much it. Day to day chores like vacuuming and laundry. Obviously these guys are huge helpers. First we fold, then throw on the floor, then fold, then sit on the folded clothes in the basket, throw on the floor, then fold again. It is an endless cycle, but they sure have fun.

California Vacation

We just came home from such a great trip to Disneyland and SeaWorld. Grandma and Grandpa were kind enough to come with us and help with the kids. Jack and Kyler had a blast. We went to 2 character breakfasts and met a lot of our "heroes". There is the whole family with Minnie Mouse, Jack kissing Lightning McQueen, Kyler with Pooh, and Jack giving Tigger a high five. We couldn't have had more fun if we were there 5 more days! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for putting up with us and helping us soooo much. We love you!
