Updates on the boys!

Finally I took another picture of all the boys together - I have been such a slacker when it comes to taking pictures lately - poor Liam - his life is not being documented as well as the others.

Aren't they a handsome bunch! I think so!

Hopefully we will be able to get a new family picture soon - I am going to wait until Adley gets his cast off though.

I gave the 3 oldest haircuts this week. I think I finally have the hang of it - I haven't ruined anyones hair in months. I think I might attempt Jared's soon - just another way to save money!

Aidan - 6 1/2 yrs
Starting 1st grade this year. At his school they have a 'looping' program which means that they keep the same teacher for Kindergarten and 1st grade. We love his teacher!
Adley - 4 1/2 yrs
This picture gives me a glimpse of what he will look in his teens. He is doing very well with his cast and will go back to the doctor on Monday for a check up.
Eli - 2 1/2 yrs
I love this picture!!! He is so cute with his hair spiked up and the huge grin! Common phrases from him are "oh gosh", and he often yells "Boys" (Hmm, I wonder where he got that one from?). This weeks events consisted of him breaking an egg on the kitchen floor, changing his clothes multiple times, breaking a glass on the hardwood, pouring himself juice (and the rug too), eating frozen waffles and helping me clean the table by wetting toilet paper then wringing it out on the floor.
What's not to love???

Liam - 6mos old
Liam started on solids this month. He is rolling everywhere and pivoting in a circle on the rug trying to get to things. He will be crawling before too long. No teeth yet. He can sit for 15-20 sec at a time now too. We have started getting him to nap in his crib and will hopefully make the transition to his crib for bedtime soon.

This summer we really wanted to teach Aidan how to ride his bike without training wheels. We figured he was 6 and really should know how. He kept resisting us and then this morning Jared was leaving for work and found Aidan doing this . . .
. . . riding the neighbors little bike without training wheels. Apparently the neighbor boy learned 3 weeks ago and Aidan thought he would be a better person to teach him than his parents. He isn't quit ready to try it on his big bike, but at least its a start.

Jared and I did get to go Utah for my brothers wedding. I will post pictures later - right now I have to go and make dinner! Chili and macaroni - Yum!

What a handsome bunch of boys! seriously... you are going to have to screen the phone calls from all of the little teenage girls that will be calling your house in just a matter of a few years. They all look so grown up and so stinkin' handsome! I cannot believe how much Liam has grown... he looks like a little boy now and not a baby.

Dollywood

Liam's first time on River Rampage - he got drenched but loved every minute of it! Doesn't he look so small! We wanted to do one last fun summer trip for the boys before school starts this Thursday. We took a day trip to Dollywood. We got there a little after the park opened and it was not very crowded at all. We walked on almost every ride and if we had to wait it wasn't longer than a few minutes. Last time we were there in May Adley was just shy of being able to ride all the big rides. We learned about a place where they will measure you and give you an armband that has the appropriate color that corresponds with your height category. This way you are measured once and simply just have to show your armband to get on the ride. Adley was thrilled that he was tall enough this time to ride any ride in the park. Eli and Liam also got moved up to the next category. Thank goodness for Eli because this kid has been dying to ride more rides. He and Adley are not afr...

Mickey Mouse

Mickey is a very loved mouse in our house. Liam absolutely can't get enough of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on Disney. When he wakes up in the morning he comes straight to my room, snuggles in between Jared and I and turns on the tv for his cartoon. He sits there with his arms behind his head and legs outstretched. He is so darn cute. So the other day I decided to buy him a stuffed Mickey. He was so surprised and loved it. Checking him out. Mickey now has his own corner in Liam's crib. He likes his 'pets' in specific places. Also, guess who is potty training???? The only kiddo I have left in diapers - woot woot!!! He has started this all on his own and so I'm optimistically hoping for December to be down to pull ups at night. Liam won't speak to tell us he has to go he just pats himself and points to the bathroom - whatever works right! And here is our very first tomato from our tiny 1 plant garden....... We have a few more and hope they will ...

It's been a while . . .

since I last posted. We have been so busy this month. Adley had his Christmas program at his preschool - they studied Italy and dressed so cute. They sang the song, "when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore . . ." (not sure of the exact title). Adley has sung it several times since to many people. I think he might be musical when he gets older. We all recovered from our sickness and made the journey to Arizona to see my family. We spent 12 days there and had a wonderful time. Surprisingly it was warmer here at home while we were gone then it was in Arizona. We got to go to the Lego store, which the boys loved. We played at a really fun park, visited with friends, made a gingerbread house and sugar cookies, ate at our favorite places, went to the movies, enjoyed a visit from Santa at the house and tried to get in some rest. We had family pictures taken for the first time in 5 years since my brothers were gone on their missions. We finally g...
