Some Christmas

For Christmas this year, Zach's mom planned for all of us to go eat at the Lion House and then go see the lights on Temple Square. It was fun to be together with everyone. Nate and Lindsay were able fly out from New York and come with us. It was great to see them.

It wouldn't let me rotate these pictures, but I really liked them. This was in the Joseph Smith Memorial building. They had a really pretty tree in the lobby.

This is all of the grandkids that were there.

Nate and Lindsay were able to come over to our house for dinner. It was great to talk with them and watch them play with the boys. It is always fun to get together with family.

Locks of Love....Again

It has been 2 years since I did Locks of Love last. My hair had grown out again so I decided to do it again.

This is how long it was before it was cut. It was nice to have it this long so that I could just pull it back in a ponytail. But it was tie for a change.

This is the back of it. I think that this might be the shortest that I have ever gone. It has taken some getting use to, but I really like it.

I think that I will try and do Locks of Love every two years. I hope that it starts growing fast.

Daily Fun

Ethan and Connor love to hang out together. Sometimes I will come up on Connor having crawled up to Ethan so that he is as close as possible.

We call this "The Zone" Ethan loves to be in it.

Connor likes to play with The Zone also. Sometimes he will get a little too close and Ethan will grab his hair. Ethan has a pretty good grip too. One time Connor kept swiping Ethan's hand away from part of the toy. Ethan reached out and grabbed Connor's hair and wouldn't let go. Connor finally got his hair out of Ethan's hand. He came over to me crying. After he was consoled, he went right back to trying to play with some of Ethan's toys, but kept his head just out of Ethan's reach.

Connor is a great helper in the kitchen. He will stir anything and loved to help with anything. If he keeps it up he is going to make a great cook.

Ethan just playing around. He is watching us make cookies.

Halloween

I realized that we really don't take very many pictures. But here are the ones that we have.

Ethan was Robin, but I think that he just liked to eat his cape. The outfit was courteous of Angie.

I think that this shirt is also courtesy of Angie also. I think that one of the twins use to wear it.

I found a matching one for Ethan. This is what they were wearing earlier on Halloween. We had a great Halloween, but I realized that this was all the pictures that we really have. Connor was excited about all of the candy. He didn't really eat much of it though.

Ummm, Cereal

Ethan started on cereal. It took a while until it was really accepted.

We then decided that he could try feeding himself, well not really, but he loves the spoon.

Boys

Here are some random pictures of the boys.

This is a hat that my parents sent to Connor while they were on his missions. It doesn't really fit Connor anymore, but it sure works on Ethan.

I love this picture of all of the boys.

Connor and Ethan really love to play together. Connor can get Ethan to laugh harder than anyone.

Connor loves his brother so much that sometimes he just wants to eat him :)

The Boys

These are some pictures of the boys playing and having fun. Ethan just got two teeth. I was trying to get them in this picture, but you really can't see them.

I know that this one is sideways, but I just love it. Connor loves to take pictures with an old camera that we don't use any more. He really likes to take pictures of Ethan.
Connor is telling Ethan about the finer points of coupons. Ethan listened intently and then tried to eat one of them.
Zach and Ethan are having a staring contest. I think that Ethan might have won when he blew a raspberry that made Zach close his eyes. The boys certainly love playing with there dad.
