Thanksgiving

Every year during Thanksgiving I forget to take pictures.  This year was no different, but I did finally remember to take out the camera after everyone was finished eating.  We went to Nana and Papa's house this year and were able to see a lot of family.  The boys loved playing with cousins, aunts, uncles, Nana and Papa.  They also loved being outside.  We had very warm weather which was nice in a lot of ways, but it's odd to wear shorts at Thanksgiving.  The food and company was good as always, and it is so fun to see the boys play so well with their cousins! 
Every year an hour or so after eating the famous Turkey Bowl begins.  Kyler wanted to play really bad, but even he knew he was too little to play with the big boys!

This is Daddy telling Kyler to go play "over there."  Kyler is just making sure he is pointing to the right spot.

Damon would often walk away from everyone to go throw rocks in the driveway.

This was just too funny  not to post.  Gotta love the chocolate face with the nose picking and eyes closed!

Kenney played really well this year, from what I was able to see.  I think he felt better too because he has actually made time to go workout lately.



These boys were so silly and fun to watch.  They played nonstop the entire time we were there.  Kyler was so exctied to see Tyce when they got there that he even gave him a hug without being prompted.  If you know Kyler at all, that is a really big deal.  He hardly gives me hugs!

Kyler decided to play football all by himself since everyone else was occupied.  I tried to play with him, but apparently playing with Mom is not cool. 

The ball is almost as big as him.

One day everyone was playing some dance game on the x-box and the boys wanted to play too.  They were dancing for a while, but Damon thought the guitar looked fun.

Kids 'smiles' are so funny.  They each gave me a smile, but Brek's was the best!
Waiting for pancakes and waffles!  All of the kids loved getting breakfast from Papa.  He was just making waffles, but someone wanted pancakes instead so Papa made both.  He's a lot nicer than me!!

The boys found a Toy Story sticker book one day and played with it for like 3 days straight.  They thought it was fun to put stickers all over Kenney.  I just realized that both of the boys even have a Buzz shirt on too!

Anytime there was a movie on the kids would all get their pillows and blankets out.  This usually only lasted for about 20 mins before they started playing again!

Damon trying to act chill.  Yeah that only lasts about 10 seconds!!

Halloween

My mom did it again!!  Halloween was a hit this year.  My mom has always made my Halloween costumes, and now she makes them for the boys.  She did such an amazing job with Batman and Robin last year we thought she would totally be up for the task of Buzz and Woody this year.  Woody looked fantastic, and she did amazing.  As she was thinking about Buzz, she was trying to come up with a way to get his wings to pop out.  Well, that was just too much so she went a little easier, thank goodness!  The boys went to a playgroup Halloween party and the trunk-or-treat at the church and had a great time.  Everyone thought we had the best looking Buzz and Woody around, thanks to Oma!!

Buzz Lightyear

"To infinity and beyond"

This was the best picture we got of Buzz and Woody together

Damon was not quite so sure what we were doing to him

Ready to go get some candy!!

Our little cowboy was so cute!!

"What? They are giving me candy?"

Kyler tried to eat the first piece he got, but then realized everyone there was handing out candy so he couldn't waste anymore time eating the candy.  He had to get as much as he could.

Once Damon figured out what was going on, there was nothing we could do to make him let go of his pumpkin.

Let the candy eating begin!

Kyler takes the candy business very seriously.  As we were walking back to the car, he was showing me every piece of candy he got.  He would say, "I got this candy, and this candy, and this candy."  He was so happy!

What did both of them pick for their candy, a sucker!!  Go figure!!  At least it leaves more chocolate for me!!

I LOVE THIS

Sucker Face

He was finally still long enough to get a decent full body shot.

Woody got a little to hot and sticky with his shirt on!

So we thought the boys could be Chipendales if Buzz and Woody didn't work out!  They love to run around in just diapers anyways! 

Kyler was even practicing his dance moves!!
