Moments

So, I promise there has been a reason why I've been such a slacker updating lately. It's a good one too. But that one gets to be a post all on its own and it's coming soon. Promise. So, I suppose you will just have to be content with pictures of the munchkins and another top 10.

*Wrote this about two weeks ago and am just now getting around to posting it...

James
1. Amazes me every single day with how much he comprehends and thirsts for knowledge.
2. Is a sunbeam and this week is the primary program. His part is memorized and he is NOT interested in any more practicing. At all. He also knows the song by heart and my oh my can that kid sing.
3. Tells me whenever I make an attempt to get ready for the day, "You're so pretty mama!" Melts my heart. every. single. time.
4. Is all about cars and racing them but not so in to sharing them with his little brother. "Yeah. Ka-chow."
5. Is a pro at riding his tricycle.
6. LOVES to have us read him books. The same ones. over and over and over again until he can read them to us from memory.
7. Likes to "run laps" on his "treadmill." He runs from one side of our complex parking lot to the other side.
8. Is a really good helper.
9. We were getting daddy some new hair gel at the store. James reaches over, grabs a purple bottle of gel and says, "yellow for daddy. purple for James." Chris was of course all in favor because he is tired of searching for his gel in the mornings. After some man lessons from daddy, James now spikes his own hair and runs out of the bathroom declaring, "do you love my hair?"
10. Does his chores. He is in charge of emptying the bathroom garbages and watering plants.

Seth
1. Got a new hair cut and is ADORABLE!!!
2. Loves to eat. Especially bananas, blueberries, and grapes.
3. Likes to ride his daddy's new long board. He is definitely athletically inclined.
4. Is starting to learn animal noises. So far he can do dog, bear, kitty, gorilla, lion.
5. Loves his binky!!!!
6. When he wants more food says, "uh uh uh uh."
7. Loves taking baths.
8. Uses a squirt gun like a pro.
9. Big snuggler.
10. Squares off with daddy during family water balloon fights.

James wanted to ride in the stroller too so I told him he had to hold Seth and be his seat belt. 

Chris was on a campout and this was my 6:30 AM buddy. He was so hungry his little tummy was growling. I promise I fed him a good dinner the night before. Guess he just needed a pancake and some milk. I tried to go back to sleep but as you can see, he's just too cute. 

Love this boy!

Partners in mischief. 

This kid loves shoes. He's wearing my cowboy boots. 

Found daddy's old glasses and just had to try them on. 

I look over and see this...rolling backwards. He was trying to get off I think but discovered his Uncle Josh gene :)

Family water balloon home evening night. 

Came out of the garage like this. I told him to smile and got this face. 

We were looking at the Halloween stuff and he comes around the corner like this. Made my day!

Notice the fork! When he sets the table he gives Chris this fork and makes sure he uses it. 

Just another day in paradise.

General conference. I printed out the pictures of the prophet and apostles and James LOVED guessing which one was speaking. 

How we do lunch during conference. 

He was smiling for a picture. 

Demands to use the vacuum whenever it is out. Hopefully this continues into teenagerhood. 

Oh snap! Someone learned how to get on the ottoman himself.
