Mornings

Our mornings typically look like a

smorgasbord of the following...

Sweetest boy. Held my straw for me unprompted.

Enjoys seeing himself on my phone camera.

Sometimes I'll allow whatever for a few minutes of quiet.

We've got a real goofball on our hands.

He loves to run over to the heater when he hears it turn on, and usually grabs his milk, Bee and a blanky and settles in.

Sometimes mornings are tough. For the both of us.

Love observing the little things this fella comes up with.

...like this. DON'T love.

Inventive sippy-drinking

Admiration

Climbing

A healthy (over)dose of fruits

Occasionally a chocolate donut which we get all over ourselves

Parking Garage

I love seeing the little additions Tadd adds around the house.

How Far Behind Am I?

Let's play catch-up...meaning the next twenty posts will be fairly captionless and just full of pictures. You'll like it better that way I'm sure.

Cornbelly's

Vi in the corn feed box

There's a little dress up shack, and Sam kept wandering in to play, so I figured a prince shirt would be better than a dress.

Pumpkin princess

Fave pic of the day

Wait, this is my fave pic of the day. Isn't Hells the cutest ever?

We surely enjoyed our time with mom, sissies and cousins at Cornbelly's and will definitely hit this up multiple times next fall!

Nakie Rascals

I know nakie pictures are taboo and obviously TMI but I couldn't resist. These two went nuts in the tub at my mom's one night, and we had to document. (Hope you don't mind, Haley)

Yes, Sam has discovered a little something at arm's length. (Why oh why is it so easy for him to reach???)

Love these two.

Papa's Punkas

Tadd's dad grows giant pumpkins every year, and this year he outdid himself! Biggest ones he's grown yet!

He was being punished, or so it seems.

Grif took Sam cruisin' around the cul-de-sac.

All the guys were needed to maneuver them from the garden to the lawn, and then the front porch.

Work it!

Little dude sittin' atop papa's "punkas"

The man himself! Quite proud of his work, as anyone should be!

Dadda's Work

Sammy and I visit Tadd at work once a week or so, and it always makes for adorable pictures. Sam loves to roam the Covey job site carrying around whatever he finds. Screwdrivers, hammers, bolts, chisels, etc. He also loves to run a little too fast toward the edge to terrify us. Oh, I just love that.

He's made friends with Del, Don and Peter (Tadd's uncle, boss, and Tadd's cousin). I wonder why I bother bringing lunch for Sam when we go visit, since the guys there love to feed him. Cookies, sandwiches, chips, crackers, caffeinated soda...the works. Luckily, he always crashes afterward for a nice long nap.

Nugget in pocket. Of course.

Feeding Shadow string cheese

Stripes...

...they do a picture good.

So much so that one is just not enough.

BOO!

HEAR YE, HEAR YE!

The Witches Take-1

A slow day in Provo brought us up to Midvale

to see the witches at Gardner Village with Haley and Addie.

We introduced Samson to ketchup after our outing, and suffice it to say it was a hit. His sippy cup even called for a generous dip.

I've got quite the character for a kid.
