Thankgiving and Christmas Tree

Kenden started crawling about a week and a half ago. But three days after he was pulling himself up to things. Even standing holding on with only one hand! It is funny how with your first baby you can't wait for him to do all these things, but with your next baby it makes you a little sad, and you think not already. Before we know it he will be walking... They really don't stay little very long. Turkey day Turkey Trot! Manda,Preston,Courtney,"Papa Scary", Zak

Kenden he was so much help with the Christmas tree, obviously...

Kaleb helping with the tree...at least he is rewarded for not taking things off.

Our finished product...

Playing Together

Kaleb is learning to play with his brother. They play trains together a lot (who would have guessed). The other day they were playing with the trains together and it was so cute, I wanted a picture but as soon as they both saw the camera my candid shot of them playing was out of the question. Instead the both posed happily. Kaleb was determined that we got a picture with the train so you can see the very end of the train. Kenden has been learning to eat all sorts of things and he loves it. When we eat we have to put him in the high chair and give him snacks. The other morning he was ready for a nap when it was time to eat and inevitably he feel asleep eating ,it was adorable. He even had a few bites in his sleep.

He is trying so hard to crawl and we are trying to catch it on video, but he loves the camera so it is hard. This is a clip of one of our attempts as he army crawls with Kaleb as his background cheerleader.

Halloween!

Kaleb and Zak went trick-or-treating together Kaleb had a lot of fun getting candy in his bag.

Our Spooky Pumpkin.

Kaleb gave up on the carving but checked in on Dad ever few minutes to see how he was doing.

Wedding fun!

My sister Amber had a zombie wedding this weekend. Congrats Amber and Gabe! We have been super busy this month but that is life, I guess. Kaleb has become quite the negotiator. He saw a Christmas present at Nana's and persuaded her (it didn't take much) that he needed the truck right now. He heard us talking about getting another one and decided that there must be another one in her room. He closed her in there and told her "find the truck., in the closet". It was probably funnier if you were there, but oh well. He expresses himself with his hands too and it can be hilarious to watch. He also had a lot of fun at Papa's playing with Zak and calling "Papa, Papa, come here" all weekend. Kenden has started army crawling and I find him everywhere, there is little that will stop him now from getting what he wants. Kaleb at the wedding playing.

Time Flies Yet Again....

Time flies yet again... We have moved apartments. We have not moved far, just down the road from where we were. Kaleb loves to go to our "new 'partment" and has sleep in his room every night with brother.

Preston the amazing had a birthday last week. "Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you!" .When I told Kaleb we were going to get Daddy a "happy cake", he wanted Nana to come make a Thomas happy cake for Daddy. I convinced him that we needed to get the monstrously huge chocolate cake Dad had been asking for.

Kaleb and Kenden love to play together, I hope it lasts a long time. They play pick-a-boo, and Kenden thinks Kaleb's toys are much better than his.

I Love it Whens...

I Thought I would post random pictures of the kids. There are a few things I just want to mention about them that I love. I love it when Kaleb randomly comes up behind me and says "love you", I love it when he wakes up and tells me all about his dreams, as fast as he can. I love it when Kenden wiggles from side to side when you tickle him, and I love listening to him talk to himself when he wakes up in the morning. I also love it when they laugh at each other. I try to get pictures or video of them playing together and laughing, but I am yet to be successful. I love my boys and I love watching my handsome honey play with them. Kaleb cheesing it, he wanted to take pictures.

Kenden examining his toys, he quietly studies everything.

Fun Run!

We participated in a fun run this last weekend. My mom carried Kenden and I pushed Kaleb in the stroller. We didn't exactly run it was more of a brisk walk. But it was a blast non the less and I am considering participating in more events like this one. Only hopefully actually running... All of us after the run.

Kaleb had an early morning and was a little moody.

Nana and Kenden having finished. Wahoo!

Water Party and The Fair

A few weeks ago our ward had a water party. Kaleb loved it I think he is naturally part fish. Also we went to the fair and watched my sister show her dairy cow. So here are the pictures of our adventures. Kaleb splashing at the water party.

This is a random picture of Kenden but he is so cute and growing so fast. He loves to eat his fingers and gags himself often so we have to keep a close eye on him.

Uncle Miles helping Kaleb show a cow, they have a little part where they let kids to young for 4-H walk around the arena. They even get a participation ribbon. Kaleb liked it.

Pioneer Day Celebration

Saturday was a big pioneer celebration, and here are some pictures of the boys enjoying the festivities with Nana, Mandi and Mom. Kaleb feeding a goat with Mom.

Kenden watching the parade, surprisingly he was a wake

and content for most of the parade.

Kaleb and Nana watching the parade, this is him waving at everyone. He really enjoyed his first parade and made out like a bandit on the candy without even trying. It was a lot of fun!

Kenden is 3 Months Old Today!!

Happy Birthday Kaleb!!

Kaleb had a Birthday at the beginning of the month but I misplaced the camera. Thus I have not posted any birthday fun do to that fact. So here are the pictures, a bit late. Birthday cake to share with everyone, Nana was kind
enough to show her awesome decorating skills.

Yummy frosting, he eventually became

a black and blue frosting monster!

Kaleb's thoughts..."Cool, This looks like fun but what

on earth do I do with those peddle things???" He has yet too use the peddles.

Water fun!! He is running through the sprinkler.

He was captivated by the very special Kaleb only Thomas cake that Nana made.
