Who Says boys Can't Wear Pink?


Leland can often be found wearing my shoes. This day he selected my pink flip flops. I think this picture may be worth more to me when Leland is a little older!!!

Looking For Adventure







Sutton continues to do well and is looking for things to get into all over the place. Changing his diaper is lots of fun these days!! He also thought it would be fun to make his way into our shower, of course I had just been in it so it was wet!!

O'Christmas Tree




As much as I wanted to cut our own tree this year we decided to wait at least until next year when the boys are a little bigger. So we again opted for a pre-cut. As usual we waited until it was dark. And as luck would have it the location we selected had very minimal lighting with which to select a tree. Even with little lighting we were able to pick a nice tree and realizing that it was not going to fit in the trunk of our impala they offered to deliver it to us!! Leland was very excited about hanging only a few ornaments, those being a tractor, a cow, and the Oscar Meyer weiner mobile!!

Early Christmas







After we ate dinner and the kids had a nap we headed to a visit with my step-mom's family, grandma Rosie and grandpa Pete. For several years they have left for warmer weather before Christmas arrives, so they celebrate Christmas on Thanksgiving. It is always nice to see them. Even though they live rather close to us we usually only see them at this time of year. Leland took a little while to warm up, but once he did there was no slowing him down!!! I wonder if the M&M's, chocolate covered pretzels, and OJ had anything to do with that?!

Our Little Turkey




We stayed home this year for Thanksgiving. I think this is the first time that Nathan and I have ever stayed home and made our own Thanksgiving dinner. It was nice!!! Nathan got up at 5:45 am to put the turkey on the smoker, which turned out delicious!!! My grandma, mom, and aunt joined us.

Keeping those whites pearly




Sutton is very interested in everything that Leland is doing, including brushing his teeth. We thought we would start brushing Sutton's teeth, he actually likes it.

Fall Photo Shoot with Jack


Every fall a professional photographer comes to the day care down the road from where the boys go and offers pictures at a much reduced price. This was the photo we got. Sutton wouldn't smile for anything!!!
