Boys in November


Zeke climbed up in his window sill during nap time and fell down. He bonked his cheek/lip/chin pretty bad. He had a big goose egg inside his mouth it looked really painful.
He also got a cut on his skin. It's a perfect Harry Potter scar...on his chin. My poor little guy. So strong and brave. I love you!
Gabe looked so cute all bundled and following his balloon around.


Yep, we saw Santa the beginning of November. Zeke refused to sit on his lap this time....too scary.



Gabe will put hats, gloves, boots on all the time. He thinks it's pretty fun.
The gloves are his favorite lately.



We call this squish face. Gabe actually really loves doing this, he tries to get me to do it all the time. It usually looks even funnier than this. His face is just so squishy.





Zeke hears us laugh at Gabey and wants me to do it to him. His face isn't quite as squishy as Gabe's but still cute.















Oh how I love this face, and this sweet little boy!









This is Gabe's favorite sleeping position. He knows how to chill.










See what I mean about him loving to wear hats!











Again with the laid back.











Leaves


I needed pictures of the boys playing in the leaves this year. They had a lot of fun. Probably because they could make a mess and it was okay.

They are so handsome.


It is a little crazy that these pictures were taken the middle of November, usually the leaves are nasty under snow by then.




Gabe wasn't sure about sitting in the leaves at first but he tried it and it was okay.


















I had the perfect spot picked out with these super bright yellow leaves, kinda what I planned the outfit around. Well I waited too long and that morning or the night before they raked up all their leaves. I was sooo tempted to go throw them back over their yard :) I didn't get any bright yellow leaves but got cute pictures still and the boys had fun.














Addition

This month we found out that we are expecting again. We decided not to tell anyone until Christmas where we had all sorts of clever ideas of how to tell our family the news. We didn't really stick to any of those plans for one reason or another but they were all excited no matter how they found out. We did wait until Christmas, mostly. A week or so before Christmas we added a baby tracker to the bottom of the blog, one person noticed early and another noticed shortly after. We thought we were being pretty sneaky. Anyway yes, baby number 3 is on the way. I am due July 24th. We are excited. The boys are both really excited too, they keep asking when the baby is going to "pop out" They have been holding babies around the house and saying how much they love the baby already.
We kept asking Zeke if it was going to be a boy or a girl...he kept saying just a baby. The last couple weeks he keeps saying her and she and even now saying baby girl. I wish I could post him saying baby, he says it with an accent it is sooooo cute. My prediction is a girl also, just because my cravings were different and I was slightly more nausious and extremely tired, but I could just be trying to convince myself....of course I will still be happy if it is a boy, especially if he is anything like my other two :)

Snow Day


Poor Gabe can barely move when he is all bundled up but he looks so cute, and he loves to get bundled up.

The boys love going outside. It's just been so cold this winter they haven't got to as much.

Gabe fell because of the not being able to move bit, Zeke thought he'd try it out too. They were both a little intrigued.


Zeke did some of the work when building a snowman this time it was cute to see him trying to push it.


Here they are with their little snowman. As I'm posting the pictures Zeke just told me we need to give the snowman some hands.



Christmas Tree


The boys both loved helping decorate the tree this year. We only put on the special ornaments this year because they loved them so much it was hard to keep them on the tree.


Zeke was practicing reaching so high because he got to put the star on the top. He was really excited about that, when we took the tree down, he could hardly wait to take the star off too.












I love how excited they got about the tree, and everything Christmas. They sure put the magic in the season.

Boys in October


The boys love to help me bake....not just for the rewards at the end :)


Ouch


Gabe learned a new trick, he thought it was pretty funny.








Not sure why this picture flipped or how to fix it, but here are the boys relaxing in the tub.





Oh my sweet baby. His arm doesn't look to comfy though.








The boys LOVE wearing their boots around.





Not sure why they both randomly squatted down but they are always so cute!







Puddles


Gabe is pointing out the big puddle of water.

Zeke had learned that his boots were rain boots so he could step in the puddles without getting wet. He had to try them so he jumped in a bunch of puddles. He needed rain pants too.

Of course we wouldn't leave Gabe out, he jumped in a couple of puddles but preferred to throw rocks.







Family Pictures


These are my handsome boys!

We were supposed to do pictures before nap, but didn't make it, so by the time we got ready, and got to the spot, it was dark outside :(


Not sure why Zeke kept looking up.

I have a cheesy smile but Zeke sure knows how to do the BIG CHEESE



Our little family....with big bums.




Dark and blurry, but still cute.
