Jason, this ought to hold you. I will go in later and make comments on the pictures. Happy Thanksgiving! We missed you today.

Lynden loves to write / color / paint.....anywhere he can find a surface. This just happens to be appropriate. There are marks all over the walls or where ever he could find with what ever he could find. Once I finally managed to find all the pens and markers, etc, he found a candle in a drawer and marked all over the tv screen with it. What a rascal!

This was the first day that Lynden started asking if I was ok. Every since then, when he hits you or you are hurting, he will cock his little head to the side and say "you okay?" It is too cute. He says it all the time now I really don't think he means it anymore.

Spencer loves to lay in the leaves.

One day Lynden found this one piece short outfit and cried for me to put it on him, so I did!

My two tuckered out boys!

Awwwww!

Lynden & Avery

Heather and I met at the mall a couple weeks ago and let our little boys play. We had a nice visit and the kids did, too. As usual it took Lynden about 20 minutes or so to warm up. I guess he does that to see if he likes you or not. Anyway, after a little while they were just running around like best buds. It was so cute. They had their own language.

Hugs at the end!

I wish you could see their faces better in this picture, they were both smiling.

I never quiet realized how tall Lynden was until this picture.

It totally looks like Avery is waving at me.

Lynden did not like riding the train, but liked watching Avery ride it.

Gamers already.

Christmas window shopping....they have got to be our kids.

But I want that.

I know this picture is blurry but I still loved it because when I first started to take it they were right next to each other in the middle.

Hey, blue eyes!

This picture really shows off his shiner. He was running down the hall with a car in each hand as usual when he wiped out. He went down face first into one of his cars as he hit the floor. It was really sad. He cried hard for about 30 seconds, then he was fine and off to playing again.

Now I am ready to be myself.

Poor Lynden....and Avery.

Catch Up Pictures!

These pictures were at Amy's church on the 27th. There was all kinds of fun things and good food. Lynden and I had to leave early but Mom and Gary kept Spencer so he could go on the hayride. They are always so thoughtful and good to the boys.

Lynden thinks that every time Spencer is on the floor, it is tackle time. Spencer can never relax on the floor, well Mommy and Daddy can't either.

This Spencer posing to show off his Ratatouille band-aid from where he got a carpet burn! The make up school pictures were scheduled for today but thankfully they postponed them for another week.

This is what Lynden does now when he is mad. It is way beyond pouting. He pooches his little lips out as far as he can get them. He generally tilts his head down. He still tries to out stare you and if he is really mad he will keep his lips out but he usually starts laughing at himself and then does it 3 or 4 more times. It is actually really cute.

Spencer looks so grown up here.

Lynden swinging at Brandy's house. The boys love their swing set. Who wouldn't?

This is how Lynden almost always slides down the slide now. I don't know why, he used to slide normal but right now he loves this way.

Sweet Pea!

Ready for church!

Halloween 2008

We didn't do much for Halloween. Daddy and Lynden got to go to the trunk or treat at church the Wed. before but Spencer and I were stuck at an appointment in LR. On Halloween we just went to Grandma Joyce's (that is what Spencer calls her) and Grandpa Garys. Then we stopped by John and Juanita's and then to Nana and Papa's house. They still got plenty of candy and I got plenty of pictures. It was a lot of fun.

I think Grandpa Gary gets into Halloween just as much as the kids do.

Boy does Lynden love his Papas, all three of them.

Spencer was Robin from Teen Titans. He was just so ecstatic about the "magic cape"! Too cute!

And Lynden was Buzz Lightyear of course.

Ever since Spencer started kindergarten he has been asking to go to the Red School and get the blue camera. I assumed there was one there because he has a really good memory even though he had not been there in a year and a half. So I picked up Bailey one day at the Little Red Schoolhouse and Spencer went straight to where the camera always was and started playing with it. He said "hey mom, look I found it, the blue camera!" They were so impressed and thought that was so sweet having remembered and was so excited about it that they let him have the camera. He was so excited. I was so proud of him.
