Our weekend in review!

First of all, Porter is trying to learn that he cannot bite us or rip the glasses off our faces.  When we use a stern voice with him, this is what we get...

yeah....we finally got our first real snow storm of the year.  Allen found Miles his very own kid size snow shovel.  Our worker bee Miles was in heaven.  He didn't want to come in.  When I insisted he come in to warm up he said, "I just want to finish Bethany's driveway"

 (our neighbor)!

I didn't get any shots of Quincy playing outside, but I got one of him after he came in to warm up.  His hands were freezing, so I wrapped him up like a burrito.  This is his "my hands are freezing" look. Pretty cold!

Quincy also complained of a tummy ache.  So when I explained to him that a bandaid only helps stratches etc....and wouldn't help a hurting tummy...of course he still wanted the bandaid to help it feel better.  Silly mom left out the package of bandaids and soon his tummy was covered.

Look alike contest anyone?

Does anyone know of a look alike contest coming up?  I think I know a dad and son that should enter!!!

I was worried about Porter and the tree this year, but so far, he has done very well.  Here he is holding an ornament and playing with it....hope the whole season goes as well! He looks so big!  Sniff sniff!

Spider Jordan?

Ever heard of him???

Temple Square Concert

Every year the Orem Institute Choirs perform in the Joseph Smith Memorial building and in the Assembly Hall.  We drove up this year to listen and see the beautiful lights on Temple Square.  

The venue is just gorgeous.  The choir stands on the Mezz level and the people walking around below can hear the music as they walk by or they can sit on the couches and listen.  Allen just did an arrangement of "For the Beauty of the Earth" and the choir performed it. It's amazing.  I love it every time I hear it. It's really powerful!  He should really submit it to MoTab.  It sounds like something they would perform.  We are so proud of you hubby!

I can never resist these shots.  Dad and son hand in hand.  Ahhhhh!

Lord Licorice

Porter loves licorice!  How do we know...I mean, he is only 9 months...how in the world did he get it?  I had a tub of it in the bottom of the pantry....and Porter found it.  After that, whenever the pantry door was left open, he would hurry to it and dig in....I had to let him do it a couple of more times so I could video it.

Happy Porter with his find...

Sad Porter when mom took it away!

Here he is in action....

He's got the look!

Our boys always get a signature "look" when they are about 9 months old and it lasts till they are about a year.  Each boys "look" is different and unique.

 

HERE'S PORTER'S LOOK!!!

He uses it when you show him something....food or a toy and he wants it.  It's almost like it's his approval face.  and of course there is a sound that goes with it.  It is so stinkin cute. 

In case you don't remember the other boys "looks"...

Sorry about the poor quality...this was pre digital to email days...I had to take a pic of the pic.  This is Miles.  It was his fish eye glare.

This is Quincy.  It was a smile with a wrinkled nose.  Allen would get home from work and we would sit down to eat dinner and Q would just keep looking at Allen and give this face!!

Bike riding in November!

The weather has been so nice this week that we have been playing outside!  We had to bust out the sidewalk chalk, play football, and ride bikes.  

For some reason, at our house, 3 is a magical birthday for bike riding.  

Quincy can pedal now!  way to go Q!
