My silly silly boys

I LOVE being the mama to these two silly boys.
And I love taking LOTS of cute pictures and videos.
This post is mainly that. Pictures and videos.

Dexter laughing is the best sound on the planet.

Dexter rolled over from tummy to back on 11-11-13.
At first I thought it was an "accident" but then he did it four more times, and then the fifth time I got it on video.
Max* was even impressed, he said "Oh wow!"

*Max so badly wants Dexter to do something. He wants him to play.

Sleeping Boys

It is a miracle these days when the boys take a nap at the same time.
It is a miracle when Max takes a nap at all.
It is a miracle when Dexter will go to sleep for more than 20 minutes in his little crib during the day.
It is a miracle.

Today was the miracle day.

BYU trips

We live literally 3 blocks from the BYU campus. We often take "BYU trips" and let Max run and explore campus. Yesterday his exploring brought him the GREATEST MACK TRUCK he has ever seen. It was overwhelming to Max, and he wouldn't get close to "Mack" without his Daddy by his side.

Poor Gerald

Max threw Gerald into an oven burner last night. Tail caught on fire. Sizzled. Will saved Gerald. But his tail is now blacked. It was a traumatic experience for everyone.

Dexter Faces

Dexter makes AWESOME faces! My favorite is when he raises his eyebrow. Crazy boy.

Low Key Halloween

Halloween was very low key this year.
We wore the same costumes from last year.
We put Dexter in a cute Halloween onesie. I didn't wear a costume at all.
But because we visited great friends and ate candy we had a great night.

This picture is one I will cherish for a long time. These are some of my old 6th graders. This group - not all pictured (I had 25 students, a small group that year) was do I dare say it "my favorite" bunch. I loved all my classes for different reasons, but I have stayed most in contact with this group. LOVE them! And now they are Sophomores in HS, and driving, and dating! What is going on? I am getting old!
