Levi's Favorite...Legos and Peanut Butter and Jelly

Levi loves Legos and his quiet time in the afternoon is usually spent with Legos. I can't say that they are my favorite thing but I do get some pointers from him when I am trying to build something with him. He has a whole binder of instruction manuals and him and Ryan enjoy doing this together. Levi wanted me to take pictures of him playing with these.

Levi also loves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. He could eat them everyday. One day he asked if he could try to make his own sandwich. So now he likes to do this alot..he needs some help with spreading but he loves trying.

Halloween 2012

All three ready to go to Trunk and Treat and church. Super Dad brought them all while I was working.

 So excited on Halloween. They were up till 10 pm from the candy. Levi like handing out candy. But not to the 'big kids". They both got scared of a warewolf and boys dressed up in all black.

Checking out their work.

I'm ready for pizza now Mama! I want triangles on mine!

Boys and their tools. "Make mine scary dada!

Luke 5 Months Old

What! Luke is 5 months already...where has the time gone. He is getting so big. He loves to talk..screech..and smile. Luke is getting into sitting up and looking around instead of lying down. He puts everything in his mouth. He will sit in his bumbo chair and watch Levi and Maci play. He listens to books that are read by Levi and Maci. They will also "teach" him how to do things...like make puzzles, play cars or play with a certain toy. He is eating a bit of baby food and loves it. We are also still feeding him rice cereal.

Luke's Baptism

 

 

Levi waited a long time for cake. He wanted the flower and the cross frosting.

 

Luke was baptized this past Sunday. The day was also shared with Wesley. What a special day to celebrate these boys and the blessings of family. Levi and Maci did well up front..a little restless but no fighting..or talking which was good.  :) We had a lunch in the church basement afterward with both sides of the family. Casey had a nice prayer before we ate lunch. We will continue to raise Luke in our home to love and serve Jesus.. We all were tired out after a busy morning. Luke took a long nap that afternoon.

 

 

Levi loves helping daddy in the garage. This past month or so they have been tinkering after supper on a project together. Ryan and Levi will go out in the garage and have been building a wooden semi truck with a trailer. Ryan found the instructions on line and Levi approved it. It turned out awesome! I think that they were both pretty proud of them selves. They even painted it together. What an great memory to have. After they were done Maci asked...where's my truck dadda?

Monkeys and Bucket Heads

 

 

Levi and Maci call each other "my Friend". Maci will cry when Levi goes to school and say she misses her friend. They will play "friends" together in the afternoon. Hopefully this last awhile they do really love each other but will also fight each other too. Here they are going  "loco"( as they call it ) jumping and dancing on our bed.

Luke Is 4 months Old

Luke is getting so big! Lately he has been drooling alot so the bibs are on daily to keep the wet off and he loves putting his hands in his mouth. He also has been smiling and laughing. Levi and Maci are both really good at getting him to let out a laugh. Luke is finding his voice and has been "talking" and also screeching. He can be loud and Levi and Maci love that he is starting to interact with them more. Luke loves his bottles and has been taking so much formula 6-8 oz at a time. I did try some rice cereal the other day to see if that would fill him up but he did not seem to thrilled about it. Luke's 4 month appointment is not till later this month and I would be interested to see what he weighs. Ryan thinks close to 17 lbs. He can't really fit into the 3 month outfits so we will see. Luke loves being in on the action and would rather be sitting up looking around then laying down. He is getting more used to the Bumbo chair and will try to grasp toys on the tray. He is very easy to make smile. He is not very good at naps these days and will not take a pacifier. We are working on falling sleep with out a bottle but that is hard to do, especially when he eats every 2 hours during the day!
