Future Photographer

If you look close you can see his relfection in the door knob.
He loves Mac!
....and his little brother, Noah.
....and his mommy too for that matter.

The photograher

I let Kyle have a good time with the camera and here is a very small sampling of what he came up with. He took a TON of pics. Adam and I just laughed and laughed as we looked through the pics he had taken. He even suprprised me by taking one of me in a very private moment. (I was sitting on the toilet...) However, for obvious reasons, I opted not to include it. :)

Does this make me a bad mom?

I couldn't help myself especially when he seemed so pleased...

P.S. Thank you, Baby

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh....

Do you hear that? Ahhhhhhhhhhh. No crying. Noah has recently done an emotional 180 and I couldn't be more happy!! It seems that for about a month or so now Noah has been one chubby ball of grump. What made things worse is that he was extra grumpy for Mommy. Noah could be playing happily with Daddy but when Mommy walks into the room weeping, wailing and gnashing teeth burst from the mouth of my....sweet boy. Just when I was beginning to think Noah simply wanted to make my life miserable things start looking up. Now that he has given birth to two new teeth and overcome 2 months worth of colds, ear infectios and RSV (knock on wood), he is one content little guy with a smile to die for. Now if I could just get him to sleep through the night.

Will It Never End?

Not only are these boys twinners in what they wear but also when they choose to get sick. Kyle decided to go first by scaring his mommy with a case of pneumonia. Just when it seemed as though Kyle was beginning to feel better Noah decided it was his turn. Noah has come down with a case of RSV and an ear infection. And to top it all off he is also teething. Ho hum. This hasn't been the first time either of them has been sick this winter either. Its pretty much plagued them all season. I know that I am not the only one out there with sick babies. Pretty much everyone I talk to has a sick child or two. I'm hoping this last batch is the climax of their illnesses before getting better just in time for Spring. Hey, I can dream, can't I?

Oh So Innocent

After not checking on Kyle for a little while, he come running into my room with chocolate covering his lips and face, laughing with delight. Just when I was about repremand him he says in his cheekiest voice with head cocked to the side, "You not put me in time out!" All I could do was bust up laughing and no, I did not put the cheeky monkey in time out....

A Tribute

Watch this video. Listen to the words. Tell me it is not a most perfect and beautiful tribute to a Prophet of God. I'll never listen to this song in the same way again. (Thanks, Adam.)

You will be missed, President Hinckley.

Bear With Me

I have decided to turn my blog around. I find that I to use my blog primarily to entertain others and while this is a worthy endeavor, its not enough. (Love ya!) I am not the greatest of journalists and want...no, need to be better. This blog is a wonderful way of doing so. Not only do I get to make a record for myself but for my friends and family too. My point? A warning to you. My future posts might seem trifling to you but I want to get them down just for journalings sake. Sometimes the things that seem small end up being what will be the most fun to read in the future. We always remember the BIG things so at the risk of boring you all to death, I am going to make a new effort to remember the small things as well.

So, please bear with me.
