Trying to be like big brother

One the weekends with the boys actually get to play video games, they sit on the edge of the table so they can see the TV better. Reagan has caught on to this fact and followed suit. Silly girl!!

Learning

Don't you just love when they start to learn to feed themselves!!

Thanksgiving programs

A little late posting these, but they are so darn cute I couldn't not.

Notice the size of my man beast child Cooper. All those kids are in his class. I love you big boy!


Right after his performance he came over to his little brother and shared all of his things with him. Sooo cute!

They love each other!

Carter's Thanksgiving feast! He love having events that are his.

Thanks for coming everyone!

Chivalry is NOT dead!

We have really tried to instill in our boys the proper way to treat girls. Mainly by threatening them with their lives, but anyway you never know if they are really listening or not. Tonight we were at a church function and one of my friends came in and told us that she heard Cooper say, "Don't swing that when a girl is by me!" HECK YEAH!! We were so happy to hear that! You go Coop! Show the world that chivalry is not dead.

My little walker!!

Ok so she has been walking for quite some time now, I just haven't documented it. She was walking at about 13 1/2 months. I love it!! She follows me everywhere and it is the cutest thing in the whole wide world.

Other things Reagan says and does:
-She actually said her first prayer on Monday night. We were ending family home evening with scripture and prayer. We bowed our heads and were about to pray then she started babbling for about 30 seconds then we all said Amen! It was the cutest thing EVER. It is amazing to me how they can feel the spirit and know so young when we are saying prayer. It is a testimony to me that it is never to young to teach them. It also makes me realize that even though I feel like when we read scriptures and say prayer every night that nothing is sinking in, that it IS getting through. Tender mercies Y'all!!!
-Leaves random things ALL over the house. ie toothbrushes. I find them in my room, kitchen etc..
-Dances when she hears music.
-Is amazed at the Christmas lights.
-Says: piy (piggy), Mama, Dada, mi (please), binky,
-Loves her softie blankets.
-Loves her shoes and bracelets.
I lover her!!

Learning to ride a bike

This is what riding a bike looked like for Carter. Every time he would fall he would slam his bike down, yell and screem, then go to the curb and pout!!

When we would tell him to pedal and he would say NO and that is just how he did it. We would tell him, that is great, but the way you do it isn't going to work. Most of the time if you tell Carter something he always thinks he knows the right answer even if you tell him other wise. Most of the time I just agree with him. It all works out better that way.

Then TA DA!!! After a lot of work from Dad and Mom he finally can ride a bike. Which is benificial to keep up with big brother. Grandma Mack got him a new bike for his birthday and he loves it!

Cooper helps him a lot to. Carter can't start by himself yet, so big brother is always there to help him start. He is such a good big brother!

Could a boy be any happier?

We love Meagie, Danny, and Axton!

Meg and Axton came to visit us about a week ago. (Missed ya Danny!!) It was so good to see her. OK SERIOUSLY.......I have the world's best in-laws. I guess I lucked out in that department. I am not just saying that to get brownie points either. (although if I get some then...SWEET!) I love that whenever there is any issue we can talk about it and get it resolved. I love that whenever we all hang out it is like we haven't spent a day apart. I love that they love my kids as much as I love them. I love to snuggle my little Axton.......you get the picture, they are the best EVER!! Love you guys!

Out to dinner at La Toleca.


My cute Nephew!!! Love him to pieces!!!!



My kids could not get enough of him.



Reagan was especially fascinated with him. She kept giving him his binky and putting his softie blanket on him. So cute. I don't think my boys would have done anything like that when they were babies. The difference between boys and girls I guess.
Can't wait until Christmas to see you guys again!!
