Annual Pictures

Trevor 5 yrs.

Spencer 3 1/2 yrs

Vincent 11 mo.

It is a tradition that I take the boys every year and have their pictures made professionally. I figure that this is the least that I can do since I am not good at taking a lot of my own pictures (and seeing that my camera is broken now). I have decided to wait until the beginning of the summer to have the pictures made next year. They are always getting over some illness when I take their pictures in the early Spring, therefore they have dark rings under their eyes and are cranky with the photographer. NEVER AGAIN! I wasn't totally pleased with these pictures, but at least I got a good deal on the package that I bought.

Some of Spencer's favorite things...

Spencer came running out of his bedroom yelling to me that he put his underwear on by himself! Yes, he did get them on by himself as you can see...

Cute little tush...

I caught Spencer admiring himself with his Spiderman sunglasses and his Ninja Turtle. He cracks me up!

Trevor at Gymanastics

We visited the gymnastics gym a few weeks ago so Trevor could observe the other children and decide if he wanted to be a part of a gymnastics class or not. He was super excited about all of the things he saw the other children do and wanted to be a part of it. As he observed he noticed one thing that bothered him... they were all girls! We had observed on a day when there were only girls. We soon found out that there was an all boys class that he could join. He loves it and does quite well!

A Day Out

We have had some warmer weather lately. It has been nice and it allows us to get outside a little more!

The boys were excited to see Spiderman (cousin Tyler) at Wal-Mart.

Fall 2007

I am posting a lot of pictures late because I just recieved our beach pictures in the mail from my sister and I did not blog much through the fall. So I have a lot of catching up to do.

I love our maple tree in our front yard. Duke Power came shortly after the leaves fell and had to cut about half of the branches off so they wouldn't interfere with the power lines in the winter. I was very sad because it is my favorite tree in our yard. The branches have already started to grow back. YAY!!!

Grandma Brenda made the boys cute trick-or-treat bags with with their names on them. They love them!

Spencer thought that he was the man with his cool cape on!

Trevor is obsessed with skeletons! He was a skeleton last year too. I think that he looked like a much better skeleton this year.

Vincent was our little ghost. The hat didn't last long though.... it was too itchy!

Summer of 2007

My sister takes great pictures and has a much better camera then we do. I love these pics of the boys!

A little Confusion

Lately Kevin and I have been extremely involved with the politics of our country as the elections are soon at hand. We have been trying to teach the boys that it is important to love their country and be patriotic. One way that we can show our support and love for our coutry is to vote when you have the chance. South Carolina held their caucuses two weeks ago. Kevin took Trevor to the polls with him and let him cast the vote. Trevor proudly wore his "I voted" sticker all day long. He was so excited that he got to vote for our future President of the United States. A little over a week later President Hinckley died. When we told Trevor that President Hinckley died he started to cry. He said "Mom, did he stop breathing?". I explained to him that he did in fact stop breathing and when a person stops breathing, then they are dead. Trevor explained that he was going to miss President Hinckley and wished that he could still be the prophet. Then he gleefully looked up at me and said, "Hey, is Mitt Romney going to be our prophet now?! We voted for him, you know." I giggled at his response and had to further explain the process and differences of being the President of the Church and President of the United States. I think that he is still a bit confused but knows that Mitt Romney will not be our new prophet.
