Sunday clothes

We found this new suit for Baby L at a consignment sale.  What a handsome little guy!

My boys in their suits!

Here's the cutest boy with his mommy! 

L doesn't look too thrilled to get a kiss from me but secretly he loves it when I kiss him.

Halloween Fun

The Saturday before Halloween the ward held the annual Fall Festival and Trunk-r-Treat.  SM was over the games that the YW and YM  were helping run.  This is the board that Jeremy and I made.  He also made a couple corn hole games, a ring toss, a cake walk game and pumpkin bowling.

L went to the event as Tigger.  He was so cute.  He loved the outfit.  We found it at a consignment sale a month or so ago.  I thought it was pretty big and would be big for him.  But he grew a lot in that month because the Tigger costume fit him perfectly and if he had to wait a couple more weeks I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have fit him.

L is growing so much and from this picture you can see that his hair is also growing like crazy.  This kid is so awesome but is growing too quickly for me.

Yep, he still likes to eat leaves!

Yep, those are my boys!  Love them tons!

I love that little Tigger!

L loving a little Japanese Maple leaves!  This tree is so awesome and looks amazing in our front yard.

And one of my favorite photos!

My baby eats leaves and he's got a tooth!

I decided to take a few fall photos of the baby in our front yard.  And I just have to share a few fun ones.

"And here you see a leaf..."

"...and then it's gone..."

Love those blue eyes!

And here's the first tooth peaking out of the bottom jaw.  Eight months old and got a tooth!  I got my first tooth around nine months but my four siblings didn't get their's until they were around a year old.  SM and all his siblings also got their first tooth around a year old so I was sure L would wait until he was a year.  Nope!  Decided to be different and got it at eight months.  In fact, it was Sunday at church when someone said to me that they saw his first tooth.  I dismissed them and said that he wasn't teething.  Went home that afternoon and saw the tooth, it had just broken through the surface of his gum.  Yikes!

Fun with Dad

SM had a faculty kickball game and afterwards another law professor took these photos of SM and L.

Love my boys!

Front yard fun!

We have a very large yard and so when I grabbed the camera, the baby looked so far away.  He wasn't too sure he liked me walking away from him but look at that cutie enjoying being outside and chewing on leaves and sticks.

The weather was hot and humid and after just ten minutes outside, we were both sweating and hot.  We hope that the fall comes soon so that we can enjoy more outside time.  The mosquitoes have stopped being so aggressive and haven't chased us into the house.  We love our awesome front yard!

When there is silence...there is trouble

The other day I was very surprised that the baby was enjoying his exersaucer so much.  Usually he will play in it for about five minutes before he starts whining and yelling because he wants to get out.  After about fifteen minutes or so I realized that he was very quiet.  If you look on the ground under his exersaucer you will notice pieces of leaves.  Yep, he found the plant and decided it needed a trimming.

Look at how cute that plant trimmer is?  He was happy when he realized I was taking his picture.

Family Reunion last June

Cute family photo at the family reunion.  The baby was five months old exactly on this day.  My favorite part of the reunion this year was the 5K and fun run/walk at the beginning of the day.  Thanks to my sister-in-laws that let me run with them...especially since I slowed them down when I got a few side-aches. 

My family is so awesome and cute!  Check out these fun couples!

My fun nephew was jumping into the back of a lot of photos...I think it's called "photo bombing" and I laugh when I notice him in the background of my photos.

I had to show off the baby in this fun photo!

Grandpa took a quick catnap during the talking part of the reunion.

And here is baby R, the cousin closest in age to my baby.  I know that when they get a little older, they are going to have so much fun together.

Six months old and showing my chubbiness off

Six months old and so HAPPY!

This little boy has so much personality.  I loved putting him in a hat to add some charm to these photos.

Spending time with extended family

This summer we had a great time visiting with family and letting them play with baby L and get to know his little personality. 

Some of baby L's cousins are...crazy cute!

And of course we had to spend some time with Grandma!

Have you ever heard the story of Rose Red and Snow White?  These two sisters remind me a little bit of that fairy tale.
