Milk to meat

Lendon is ready for a nice juicy steak .. or maybe not! He is well on his way, though! You guessed it, my Len has his first tooth! I can't even believe it. It seems like there may be more on the way. This was my attempt at getting a pic of it. Good luck seeing the tooth, but isn't he adorable! Lendon is ready for a nice juicy steak .. or maybe not! He is well on his way, though!

Our fun game!

My new fun game with Kayson ... makes me smile every time. We always try to scare each other. Just a simple "boo" or "roar" ... and it is always followed by, "did I scare you?" You should see Kayson .. "boo ... cay-you" My favorite is when he starts it on his own. The other night, I was gone visiting teaching. When I got home, I hear "mama" as he runs to me and immediately after says, "boo... cay-you" If only you could hear his cute voice .. it's the best!

The scary silence coming from a 2 year old!

I'm sure y'all have heard, or experienced, how when a child is quiet they are getting into trouble. Trust me, I've experienced plenty. The other day, Kayson was playing in his room and I heard the dreaded silence. Much to my pleasure, when I looked in his room, he was sitting in the middle of his train track ... looking at a train book. I love surprises like that!

a fun outing

Yesterday, Sharece's realtor had a pumpkin party in Orem so we met her there for some fun. There were bounce houses, a pumpkin patch, "fishing," and donuts! Jason loved the bounce houses! Kayson wouldn't even get in, but he loved picking out our pumpkins! I didn't get any pics of the party or Jason, but here are my 2 boys at the park. And this is Len enjoying the balloon the next day! Thanks for inviting us, Rice, it was so nice to get out and play with you and Jas!

Lendon

Now that you have Kayson imprinted in your mind .. here are a few pics of my Len! The videos weren't working, maybe they'll come later!

He puts himself to sleep ... most of the time!

Do I need to say anything on these?

He sits and plays for a long time! The boppy is just for me mostly (I feel safer for him)

Reading!

Close-up! Playing in the sink!

He is growing up so much! He loves to jabber ... and he and Kayson will just jabber together very loudly. I can't even be in the same room sometimes. :) They really do enjoy each other and I'm glad for that. It's amazing how good it feels to see your kids play together .. I don't know how to express it except that it is good for my heart. That still doesn't suffice, but those of you who have 2+ kids, you understand!

Pigs say "ew"

Lots of fairs this summer ... here are just a few pics!

He loved petting the pony!

..and driving the tractors.

so brave :)

Len liked looking at the animals too!

Love this! Did I mention ever before that Kayson loves trains? Here is a side note: last night I was driving home late so the boys were sleeping and I hear Kayson say, "woo -woo." Surprised, I look back ... he was sound asleep!! He even dreams trains! I can't leave out the rides! He drove cars, boats, motorcycles, trains(!) .. and became a pro at every one!! :) Watch for the "conductor" waving at you!

Friends

Kayson and his neighbor friend, Gavin, have a lot of fun together. I only have this one video (with Rachel too) but it is a good show of how they play together. The other things they love to do together is play in the dirt and throw footballs. It is really great to watch. One day, Kayson asked to go outside with his football and went straight over to their door, saying "play." So we knocked and asked if Gavin could come play. I didn't realize my little boy is old enough to do that!

Family!

We had a lot of family get-togethers the last couple months. It was a lot of fun! We went camping with my family, to the Twin Falls fair and rodeo with Jess' family, and other little activities in between. Here are pictures of my kids enjoying their cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents! (please excuse the pics of Kays with only undies on .. we were trying to potty train!)

Eva holding Kayson .. they both loved it!

Now with Lendon!
