Thanksgiving

We went to Tyler this year for Thanksgiving and I brought Susie's sweet potato souffle (J was very happy) and a couple of pecan pies - yum. Everything was so good and we enjoyed visiting with family; the boys got to see Gigi & Poppy, both sets of their great-grandparents on my side, my mom's brothers and their families, and my dad's sister and husband. Aunt La & Uncle Kris, Uncle Ryan, Aunt Katie, and Cousins Connor and Cooper were there too, and the boys had soooo much fun together!

My Cute Boys

This post will be a lot of pictures of the boys lately that I find cute. We recently got our first year blog book and I love it! So I am trying to do a better job of getting more cute pictures on the blog for the next book :) 

This is a couple of weeks ago when Jack was sick; he wouldn't go back to sleep so J let him sleep in our bed and he snuggled the rest of the night. I loved seeing him snuggled up sweetly to his daddy. 

Jack was playing with a new toy and thought it was fun to put all the carrots down the back of his shirt. I snapped a few pictures of him in action:  

We just got the boys a play kitchen set so that they have something to do while I make dinner and they love it!

A couple of weeks ago Benny decided to help me vacuum and he was really into it!

Their new favorite place to be is on top of their bookshelf - they love climbing up there and reading.

At the park:

Watching "Wee Sing" and doing the "Head and Shoulders, Knees & Toes" dance (mostly they just do the "toes" part:

To finish the post, Jack got out our almost empty dishwashing liquid and our new dishwashing liquid jugs and carried them into the living room. He stopped to stack them, then when I asked him to go put them away, he dutifully picked them up (with one side visibly weighted down compared to the other) and put them back in the cabinet. What a good (and strong!) little boy!

Fall Family Photos

We took the boys' 1.5 year photos with Jesse Leos Photography (www.jesseleosphoto.com) and loved all the pics! Jesse and Rachel are so good at making us feel comfortable and the boys just had a fun time running around being silly! I was going to just put up a few of my favorites, but since I am about to make this into our "Blog Book Year 2012" and will just have to add those photos to the book anyway, I figured I may as well publish them. Family, let us know which ones you want :)
