Who's who

Like father like son.

Happy Halloween

We wen to the ward party and Lydia wanted to be a firefighter and Eli had this adorable Caterpillar costume.  He slept  the whole time because he was so warm in his costume.

here is a costume I made for a girl in our ward. I wish i had gotten a few more pictures.

Visitors

The book said to make funny faces.  I didn't realize until I uploaded this picture that Aubrey has got a funny face too!

He  smiles at you when you talk and interact with him, it is so cute. You can tell that he doesn't want to be left out.

Lesley and Cameron came to visit last week.It was so much fun we enjoyed relaxing and going to the park. We also of course walked behind the waterfall.  Aubrey is so cute and she laughs all the time. She really enjoyed playing and having fun with Lydia.

Church Clothes

The shirt is from Lesley and the tie is from my sister Mary.  He looked so old on Sunday.

I wanted to included his shoes although he wasn't too happy.

Ready to go to store.

 I loved how he was sleeping. 

Eli

This outfit was Ben;s when he was little.  Eli is starting to get a little more chin.

Sleeping, so peaceful

Cute Hair

Happy Halloween

The beginnings of a pouty lip.  

Bath time, Hike and Dad

Strong Grip.  

Eli often uses his hands to express himself.  

  Lydia has been wanting to go on a hike all summer. We finally took this walk/hike on Thursday.  It is just a really cool trail that you can walk on to go under the bridge. There are some waterfalls along the way and some steep stairs too. It was fun to go on this tail in the spring and in the fall to see the different aspects of the seasons.  The leaves are changing and the grass is now yellow.  I think we even saw a rattlesnake although we didn't hang around to find out.   Eli wore Dad's hat since we forgot sun screen and a hat for him.  We took a picture of him in it and then Lydia wanted one too. We got to the bridge just in time to see five or six jumpers.   it is really neat to see them jump and pull their chutes.  I think two of them landed in the water or really close to it. That usually doesn't happen.

 Lydia chewing gum. It doesn't last very long before she swallow it but she still likes it.

  Her funny face

About time  for a picture of Eli and his Dad.

and just to make things even her is some with his mom.

Great Grandma and Great Papa

Here is an excerpt from the past.   Ont Thursday the ninth of September, Ben's grandparents came to visit for a day. It was so much fun.  We went out to lunch and enjoyed each other's company.  Lydia loved the sidewalk chalk  and wanted  to play out there all day with it.
