Kids

I keep getting in trouble for not putting up more pictures of these cute kids

so here are a couple more to make the grandparents happy!

Master builders

I keep getting asked if she has cute rolls yet, so here are the thighs and the belly to prove it!



Luckily, David still thinks this little girl is great!

He has to give her hugs several times a day and makes sure his friends know Lydia is HIS baby sister.

Kids

Here's a little update on the kids.

 Lydia is getting chubbier every day

 she's growing like a weed!

 and still precious.

 David has been taking notes and writing stories constantly!

Sometimes on the computer, but usually in whatever little notebook her can find. It started when he helped Jason 'count' people in church one week. (J's a ward clerk). He followed Jason down the isles writing 'numbers' in his little notebook. Now Dave walks around scribbling little notes ALL the time. Pretty cute.

Trick or Treat!

I know it's a little sad, but on the last day of Halloween, (I swear it lasts a week here), we finally cornered David and took and a picture of him in his costume. Dave LOVED being Peter Pan. And I thought he looked rather adorable.
His favorite part of the costume of course.. the sword. Mom's favorite part, it doesn't get much easier or cheeper than cutting the edge of t-shirt and making a felt hat.

Dave designed his own jack-o-lantern this year. He drew the face, Jason scooped the guts (I tried to get Dave to but he thought it was 'not a good idea', and I tried to cut the face as exactly as possible.

Pretty cute if you ask me.

Happy Halloween!

2 years old!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID!

I can't believe my baby is 2 years old! What happened? Here are some pics of Davie on his second birthday. He's pretty much the cutes kid ever! Thanks to everyone for all the great presents. He was completely spoiled!

Can I open them yet?
This is what happens when you tell him to smile at the camera one too many times.

Davie painted this with his on his bithday (Jason wrote his name)

David and Daddy

David and Ashtyn helped me make the cake... and lick the beaters. They kept saying, "We're messy" with huge smiles of course.

The turtle cake

Blowing out the candles, he did really well, but needed a little help.

the best part. David got the eat the head.

Two Little Monkeys

David and Ashtyn have been singing so much lately and it is adorable! Ashtyn of course, sings the whole song. David just sings his favorite parts. In nursery they get to clap when they finish a song, so Davie cheers for himself everytime he finishes a song at home too. We're so proud.

Garbage Truck

David LOVES the garbage truck (as any 1 1/2 year old boy should). I finally cought one of his reactions on video. He's toned down a bit lately, but at the time this was a mild reaction. He usually says "bye" when the truck leaves too, but they were taking forever.

13 Months

David is 13 months old, (almost 14 now). He got these cute clothes from his Grandma Crofts for his birthday, so we thought we'd take pictures to show everyone how adorable our kid is. David is such a fun kid. He's into the "uh-oh" phase right now. The other day he even hid behind his crib then peeked out at me and said Peek-a-boo. He said it several more times that day, but not since. What a cutie!

New Hair Cut and Funny Faces

David got his first real hair cut. It was getting really long in the middle like a mohawk, but still short everywhere else. We decided to try and avoid the comb-over bit and just cut it. He looks so handsome. When I tried to take his picture though he kept making funny faces. What a silly kid!

Why They're Called Toddlers...

David decided that he can now walk. One day he would take a few steps, and the next day he walked everywhere! He looks so cute and we're so proud so I thought I would share. Unfortunately he has a hard time walking when he is excited, so everytime I try to get a video he falls down alot. We still think it's impressive though.

Happy Birthday David!

I can't believe that David is one year old already! Time flies. We had a birthday party for him and Jason says its a good thing he won't remember this birthday because he was too spoiled. (Thanks to all the family and friends). We even made him a caterpillar birthday cake. Everyone was impressed with his ability to devour a cupcake. I don't actually think that he ate very much, he's just good at smashing.

Here's his amazing cake...

he isn't sure what to think of it. His food doesn't usually smile back.

Figured it out.

Lick your fingers clean.

What a finish!

We are so proud.

Strawberry Pie

We are finally at our new house! Yeah! We love it here. Jason started school last week and to celebrate, David and I made strawberry pie. He was a great helper.

Motivation

David is now kind of crawling. Not on his hands and knees yet, but lets just say he gets wherever he wants. I decided the trick to learning to crawl is to have the right motivation. For David, the stereo is the best motivator, followed closely by my plants,elecrical cords, and the flashing green power button on the computer. (Basically anything he isn't sapposed to have). He's cute though, and alot happier now that he can get around. (Until I take the plants away that is).

Sunday Afternoon

Unfortunately the weather has been horrible, so no playing outside. We still had a nice weekend though. Here's David playing in his handsome sunday clothes.

Sock Puppy

What a cute little puppy! Jason put socks on David's ears and I thought it was just too cute.

Bedtime

This is Jason's idea of putting David to bed. Just kidding. David gets really silly when he is tierd and sometimes its more fun to play with him than to put him to sleep. Jason can always get him laughing.

7 Months Old!

David is now 7 months old. I can hardly believe it!
