Anyone up for making wrapping paper?

My boys were up for the challenge today! Kris' mom is so creative. Look at Owen having so much fun.....
Hmmm...I wonder who is going to have their gifts wrapped in this?? Wyatt even helped out and had fun!

Such a great job!

Fluid shot

I took Wyatt to the doctor the other day for his 18 month visit. While there I asked if both boys could have a flu shot. Owen started freaking out the minute I mentioned it to the doctor. "mommy, I don't want a shot....Noooooo, please don't make me get a fluid shot!!"

I tried to explain to owen that this was a good thing and now that he is in school he should start getting flu shots every year, then I went on about how so many people he knows already got their flu shot for the year.

Needless to say he got one, screamed through the whole thing and took three people to hold him down. He wouldn't move his arm for a good two days after saying how bad it hurt.

Now he is telling everyone about his FLUID shot!! Gotta love him!

Getting ready for Turkey Day!

The boys are with Kris' mom again today and they are busy making hats for turkey day!!

Wy looks like he is ready for a nap!!

Sweet boys, I miss them lots!!

Praying

We have been trying to establish more of a praying routine at meal times, especially dinner. We feel that it is important to start at an early age. Now at dinner time when we say okay we are going to pray, Wy folds his hands together in the cutest little way! Of course, Owen listens well too! He is a champ at praying.....

He learned a song at school that we now have to sing after praying. "God our Father, God our Father. Once again. Once Again. Thank you for our blessings, thank you for our blessings. Amen, amen."

It has become quite the tradition in our house!

Wyatt 18 months

Here he is! So big and smart!

His stats:

Weight: 28.6lbs
Height: 35.5 inches

Owen at 18 months was :

Weight: 25lbs
Height: 33 inches

Kris at 18 months was:

Weight: 28.5lbs
Height: 36 inches

Hmmmm....seems like Wyatt is trending more like Kris....maybe Owen will be long and lean like Uncle Steve and Wy will be more like as Kris has been called "the incredible hulk."

Owen working on his truck

I was at a baby shower today and Kris sent me this picture....he said that Owen decided that his truck needed some work. When I asked Owen what he was doing he replied "I was changing the oil filter."

Such a smart little boy following in his daddy's footsteps!

First snow

****UPDATE FROM BELOW PICTURE AND POST****

Here is what the front yard looks like now, I guess I lied when I said it wasn't sticking!! So pretty!

Today was our first snowfall of the season. It was really coming down for a little while but it was a wet snow so didn't turn into anything.

The boys are at Kris' moms today. I wish they were home to watch the first snowfall with me.

Oh well, there will be many more snowy days headed our way....it's just a bummer because the first appearance of snow makes me so happy. So I think I am going to turn up the heat and light some candles and enjoy this snowy evening all by my lonesome!!
