I am so crafty

I know that these are not great pictures but here you go. I decided a while ago to make some growth charts for the boys and found these boards at Lowes for $3. Then I just cut everything out on the Cricut and glued it all on. They turned out good.

Landon's is dinosaurs

Collin's is pirates.

After my mom moved into her house last August we talked about putting a quote up in her bathroom. I finally got around to putting it up, and it still took me a week from start to finish.

Next project is putting some quotes up above our family pictures. We're having my sister take some family pictures of us tomorrow, hopefully we'll get the boys to sit and smile for one picture.

Collin is crazy

Ok, here are some funny things from Collin lately:

He likes to say "Presenting the ____" He'll present his puzzle, or his tower or whatever. Sometimes he'll say "Ladies and gentlemen" first.

He has started saying "Stop it, stop it, stop it. That's so embarrassing!" I told him the other night it was time for bed. He responded with that. He doesn't understand at all what it means and I have no idea where he heard it. But he sticks his hand out all girlie and says it.

Whenever we say anything about mommies in nursery Collin will ALWAYS jump up and say "that's my mommy! I love my mommy! I love you mommy!!" Its super cute.

New IRS form

I'm pretty sure this says it all.

Pictures of the boys in a yellow coat

OK, so like a week ago we went out by the lake and took pictures of the boys. It was a pretty good day in the morning and then by the time we got out by the lake it was SOOOO windy. I felt bad for them because it was so cold, and then Landon fell down and it was a big mess :) But it was cute.

I'm pretty sure that Landon taught Jacob to smile like that...

The rest are of Jacob, they turned out super cute.

LOVE this one.

Duck race

We have this funny blue hat that Collin loves to wear so I put it on Landon. He didn't like it as much. Collin and baby Ben. He loves to hold him but as soon as Ben starts to cry he gets very upset.

The story behind the next few pictures is at the bottom of the page.

Landon was so happy the whole time in the stroller, which was surprising. We thought he'd be fighting to get out but he loved it.

So on Monday night BYU did a "duck walk" on their new pathway. Its so pretty, they did a great job. They had ducks for sale for a $1 and then ice cream at the end that was... good. It was very cinnamon-ie. Anyway, it was really fun. Collin picked the slowest duck ever, so he was all over the place, running back to check his duck and then running ahead to see Chase's duck. Then he'd just stop and yell DUCKY!! He kept cheering his duck on to "win the race" and we just told him at the end he won and he was SOOO excited.

Collin's new bed (mostly pictures of other things.)

Kim had her baby- his name is Benjamin and we keep having to tell Collin his name is Baby Ben. He keeps forgetting. This is Jacob licking Baby Ben. And yes, he does have a clip in his hair. Landon wanted to help stir the pan. It was super cute.

When we went to pick up the frame and headboard for Collin's bed it ended up being at a police officers house. He turned on the lights, let Collin sit in the driver seat, and talk on his PA, which was super loud. Of course, I had left my phone in the car so I didn't get any of that. But he did let me bring Collin back and take a picture of him on the car. The girl was their little girl.

Ok, every conference I paint my nails. This year I had some stickers to put on my nails. I didn't even realize that Collin was paying attention to me doing my nails, but a few minutes after I finished I was in the kitchen and he came in and proudly showed me his nail.

Now to his bed. The only blanket I had that was big enough for a twin sized bed was one that was given to me my Sophomore year of high school by a bunch of my friends. I put it on the bed, and Collin came running in. As soon as he saw it he said, "MOM! ITS BEAUTIFUL!! I love it!!" We decided we should probably get him some more boy-ish stuff fast. He hangs out with me too much...

So we went to Bed, Bath and Beyond today and found this. He loves that it looks like Lighten McQueen.

Here is the cool pillow case.

And while I was taking pictures of Collin's bed Landon ran up and gave me this face.

That's all for now folks!!
