Catching up...

Sorry I haven't posted in a while...the boys have been so sick, and we haven't gone anywhere! Brady got it the worst. He caught strep, then a flu and cold on top of it, and ended with an upper respiratory infection. My poor baby lost 4 pounds in a week and a half. Jayden then caught it and is finally feeling better. Hoping we are DONE with sickness for a very long time!

 We had to get creative with things to do, since we were stuck inside for so long. We set up a movie in the Man Cave (a very special treat to watch a movie on Daddy's tv!), and had popcorn. My friend, September, bought these costumes for the boys to play in. They were beyond excited over them. Thanks September!

 Halfway through the movie, the boys looked like this..cracks me up!

 We attended another Build and Grow at Lowe's a few weekends back.

 Tim and Aimee, and September and Michael were there, too!

 The project that day was, "Santa's Sleigh!"

 I think the dads get into this as much as the kids do! :)

Jamie really likes taking the boys to these clinics.

 The twins were so good, as usual. 

It won't be long until they're wanting to build, too!

 Cody was hanging out, watching everybody work.

 Jayden concentrating. He does so well!

 Excuse the hair...the boys wore beanies there and this is the "hat hair" 

that happens when we take the beanies off.

 After Jayden finished his, it was time for Brady to build!

 I know most of these pictures are just the top of people's heads, 

but they were BUSY working! :)

 Jayden playing with his sleigh.

 So cute!

 He was too excited to use his own hammer.

 Tim was so proud of himself!

Good job, Uncle Tim!

 Sweet boy

 "Cheese!"

 This was the first time Brady actually built a project at Lowe's. We brought one home for him, but he was SO excited to complete the project at Lowe's, with the big boys!

 What is a trip to Lowe's without seeing the lawn mowers!?!?

 Jayden told me he was going to tell Santa to bring his Daddy one

of these for Christmas!

 If you sat in these chairs, you could look up and see all the huge Christmas decorations

Lowe's had on display.

 Carter kept pointing to the ones he liked best.

 We hung out here for a while. It was so funny to watch people walk by as I was

taking pictures of my boys at Lowe's, just hanging out. :)

 I can just picture Uncle Kevin and my dad sitting in these chairs together.

So cool that their grandboys are buddies, too!

 Holding hands, walking out...headed to Tam's for lunch!

 After lunch that day, we came home and got our inside Christmas decorations out.

 The boys have their own Christmas tree to decorate.

 Brady just watched for the longest time.

 Jayden would explain what each ornament was to little brother.

 We kept handing ornaments to Brady to hang, 

and he passed them right along to Jayden.

 I love to listen to Jayden "teach" Brady what things are about.

 Gaga stopped by, so she helped us decorate for a while.

 The boys loved putting the star on the top of the Christmas tree.

 Jayden wanted to help decorate the stairs!

 Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving! 

We have so much to be thankful for!
Oh...here are some pictures I copied off Becky's blog a while back.
