Halloween

Happy Halloween!I tried all morning to get a good picture of the boys, but they just weren't on the same wave length as me so this is what you get. I realize that bloggers all over will be posting pictures of their kids in their costumes and here are my boys in their shirts. I would say sorry, but I'm not so I won't. :)Did you know that if you wait until a few weeks before Halloween you can get Old Navy shirts for 50% off? Pretty good deal when they only start at $5. I'm always up for a good deal! Vance loves his spider shirt. We made spider headbands the other day and he loved them. He didn't ruin them for about two days and that is saying something for him. His other favorite Halloweenish thing would have to be pumpkins! (Just not sticking his hand in one).

And here is a picture of the boys from last Halloween. Just because. They both had mummy shirts (If you can't tell).
Of course, Tanner hosed his first outfit in spit up, but it worked out since Grandma Jeppson had given him the cute ghost hat,bib, and mittens. So here is my little ghost.

It's amazing how fast little ones grow!

Veggie Tales

I don't know how familiar any of you are to Veggie Tales. It is one of the things that Vance is into lately. He likes to do the beginning dialogue with the movie. This isn't the best time he's done it, but he does it a little and he looks darn cute wearing his hat. :)

Dancing

Tanner loves music. As an infant I quickly learned that I could not sing him to sleep. Anytime I started to sing to him those big blue eyes would open wide and he would stare at my mouth and watched until I stopped so I saved singing for awake time. As he has gotten older he can show his enjoyment of music through dancing so I thought I would share a video of him dancing. I love it and I hope you do too. :)

Decorating Pumpkins

The boys decorated their pumpkins today. Tanner had a great time poking his pumpkin with the marker. Vance had fun drawing, making me help him with a face, and then putting stickers over the face. Here are some pictures. The second picture Vance is clapping for Tanner. I guess he approved of Tanner's decorating.

Vance insisted that I cut the lid of the pumpkin off. I think he has watched "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" too many times. I got prepared for a big mess, stripped the boys down to only the essentials and cut out the top of Vance's pumpkin. Can you believe that neither boy would stick their hand in the pumpkin? Tanner came close as you can see in his picture, but no I had to be the one to fish out all the pumpkin seeds. Silly boys.

Kisses?

I guess I've been video happy lately. Tanner is funny about kisses. If you tell him to give you a kiss he will lean his forehead (or whatever other body part) into you so that you can kiss him. This was my attempt to show you all. Vance loves being videotaped and decided he wanted to copy Tanner. Oh, Tanner was also fascinated with the blinking light on the camera. Unfortunately, I kind of had to be in the video so ignore me as much as you can.

Sick Boys

If you think the boys in this picture look miserable you are right. They both have colds. Vance started feeling sick Friday and Tanner joined shortly after that. Stephen stayed home with them from church on Sunday (I had a primary program) and they are still trying to get over them. Oh, and just in case you are wondering I didn't pose them for this picture they laid next to each other all on their own.

Happy Birthday Mandy!

Wishing my sister-in-law, Mandy a happy birthday today! Here she is pictured with her cute little family the day Luke was sealed to her and Jake. So sweet. Obviously, this was back, last February. We've enjoyed living near you Mandy and we hope you have a fun birthday!
