the wankiers: My boys

My boys are growing up so quickly. It seems like just a blink of an eye and they are another few inches taller. We've got to stop that. Ü

Carl and James are little buddies and are definitely great brothers.

James was such a mellow baby that slept through everything and cooed and smiled every time someone looked at him...and now his little personality has taken on a few new turns! Now he likes to be in the center of attention and shrieks for attention. It's really quite comical really!

I am certain that I am raising future class clowns in my house. Smart future class clowns of course. They make us so happy and really bring so much joy to those around them.

This little man is getting all over the place. He says "Dadda" and "Momma" and (at this age) is almost a year old! It seems like just yesterday that he joined our family.

This is cute Carl getting one of his letters from Grandpa. Grandpa sends him newspaper clippings of different sports, BYU, food, or whatever else is going on and occasionally he'll send some letters for us to spell some words. Carl obviously LOVES it when his "yellow" letters come.

Another new toy in our house is the cardboard middle of fabric bolts. I have had several from all the pillows we have made and so we decided to use them. Here is Carl's BYU football field! I think there is a basketball court on the back side. Endless fun!

The boys and I! Have I mentioned lately how much I love these boys?

Seriously, who couldn't be happy when they get to see this goofy messy face every day! Ü

And just because I loved them so much...I wanted to include a few of Carl's drawings. I drew him a picture of a Jazz basketball court one day, and a few days later he drew this from memory and brought it back to me! He even drew the "JAZZ" in the middle. It seriously blew me away! I put it on my fridge for months!
