Rock'n out in their birthday Suits

I had to post this one because Jensen has the best sad face. As soon as I scooted Lennix's chair next to his he stopped crying and I took the rest of the pictures.
These two love to play with eachother. I had just given them a bath and they love to run around in their diapers. I couldn't help but get my camera and go to town with some pictures.
Lennix would kiss Jensen to make him laugh and then jump off his chair and run around the room as Jensen continued to laugh at him and then jump back onto his chair and start it all again. So sweet.
My Dad and Mom gave the boys these chairs for Lennix's birthday. I died how cute they were. My Mom (with sister Beth's help) stained them and then my mom hand painted their names, numbers and the New York Yankee logo on them. They are the cutest chairs I have ever seen and the boys love them.
The whole time Lennix would tell me that Grandpa Skip gave Jensen his chair and Grand Barbie gave him his chair. 
I love being able to be home with my boys. This is one of those priceless moments that I would not be a part of if I was not able to be home.  Also, these are the times that you feel like all of you hard work has paid off and that at least you are doing something right for them to enjoy life like this. I love being a mom!! I love my Boys!!

Painting Pumpkins and Halloween Bunco

I decided to get some pumpkins for us to paint for FHE. Well, Lennix couldn't wait and wanted to paint it before and at FHE. So this is him pondering what color to use next.
I love my little buddy
Jensen's firts battle wound. If you click on this picture you'll be able to see it better. As you can tell, it's not bothering him too bad.
We decided to paint our pumpkins for our FHE. 
Lennix now asks everyday if he can paint his pumpkin. There is so much paint on his little pumpkin that you can just peel it off now. He had so much fun.
I'm hard at work.
Our final projects!
My first experience playing Bunco. Some of the girls had already left before we took this picture but this was most of us that played. It was a dress-up-for-Halloween but only half of us came dressed. It was a lot of fun.
The Roll off. We had a tie in who had the most Buncos and wins. I did the roll of for the most Bunco's and I actually Won!! Beginners luck. 
Cute girl Jordan and Myself.
Me and Adrianne. Those bangs are pretty sweet!

Some of the things we have been up to

We went to this really neat place called Slate Run Farm. It is kept up in 18th Century style. Even all the people that ran it are dressed in period. I was invited by some of the girls in my ward and we packed lunches and had such a great time. I love that they have kept every thing authentic there. This was one of the darling homes.
This sheep pushed it's head right through those boards and came right up to Lennix. He love it. All of the animals were so used to people that it made it really fun for the kids.
The leaves were starting to change. So pretty.
Of course, Jensen was eating everything he could get his hands on and having a great time doing it. A little grass won't hurt him.
This is how Lennix's plays with his cars. He loves to watch as the wheels turn.
I cut Jay's hair one evening and decided to also cut Lennix's. This was the only way he would let me do it.  He sat and sprayed himself in the face and giggled the entire time. 
Across from our front door, there is this pond. I think part of it is a bird refuge. We go over there and feed the birds and I always think of you mom when we go. You are the real life "Bird lady."
Oh yes, that is Jensen's food again. By this time i just had to laugh and snap a picture. This one turned out so well. Look at that guilty face.
Of course he's thinking, "But mom, it is so much fun (and you shouldn't leave it where I can get it all the time). I now never put it in my bad and store it high in the counter.
Lennix saying goodbye to Jay for his first day of Dental School! Can you tell he wants to go with him so badly?
Jensen's first taste of dirt and loving it.
I asked him to smile for a picture and no lie this is what he came up with. So Cute!
He was so excited to see pumba off of Lion King.
I told him to turn around for a picture and he gave me the best smile. Don't mind the huge lion in the background.
It was great that the lion was sitting right there. 
My favorite picture of the day. On our way to see the Moose.
There were 4 Otters that would jump into the water and then swim right across all the kids faces. Every Lennix would scream. Of course all the kids caught on. We stayed here probably the longest.
He wanted the goat to suck on his finger. The goat is thinking "what is that little kid doing. Please don't hurt me." Lennix didn't really know how to be soft with them. It was fun to watch him though.
We went to the Zoo the saturday before school started. Lennix loved the part where they had all of these goats lying and standing around and they let the kids in to pet them.
Yep. That is Jensen's formula. You should have seen the guilty look on his face when I walked in on him. Here he is trying to scoop up and put it back in for me.
He's trying to tell me sorry by giving me back what's left of it.
He's helping me unpack and decorate
This doesn't happen very often anymore. It's great that they basically have the same expression on their faces.

Jay's White Coat Cerimony

I wish cameras could really capture the moment. The sunset on our drive home was so beautiful.
The White Coat Ceremony too place at the Blackwell (which is a 5 star hotel) so we felt like celebrities. They Vallet your car open all your doors for you and then we had people usher us to the upstairs and showed us where to go. After the Ceremony there was a big buffet and there were a couple of photographers that were ging around all night taking pictures of everyone everywhere. We kind of felt like celebrities. I guess they wine and dine you and then that's it. Once school starts they whip you into shape. 
I had to take pictures of everything.
I think Jay was pinning something on Lennix. I thought this was such a cute picture.
The whole family. 
Jay and his boys. Look at Jensens blue eyes!!
Ohhhh...
Lennix was so sad when he saw Jay walk past him and to his seat. He wanted to go with him. Look how cute he looks in his little suite.
This is such a great picture and we had the best seats. He looks good in his white coat.
Jay being presented with his white coat on.
