This is Conner's T-Rex dinosaur. He cut it all out, colored it and glued it together all by himself. He traced his own hands and feet to make the hands and feet for the dinosaur. Isn't he good?

I put Porter to bed on my bed and came back to find that crawled over to the stack of pillows that I had laid on the side of him and fell asleep there.

I always love these messy face pictures.

Another one of Brayden's pictures. After he took this picture he told my mom that she looked pretty in the picture.

This is Brayden's handywork. He is always wanting to take pictures. He does ok, but most of the time the pictures are of the floor and very blurry. On a side note, you can almost see my "new" hair color. We are trying blonde. Lance likes it, but I am not so sure.

Here is Conner in his Lion costume. My mom helped him with the coloring, but everything else he did on his own.

I lied. I thought I didn't get a picture of this, but I did, Yea! This is Conner in his Santa costume that he put together all by himself.

Here is Porter (my tornado #2) at work. He is pulling the DVD's off of their shelves. This is a daily occurance and I can rarely keep them put away.

Here is Porter's first black eye. It actually got a lot worse than this (the blackness part). He is pulling himself up to things and this happened when he pulled himself up to our entertainment center. He lost his balance and went down hitting the corner.

But he is still smiling.

Porter watching TV like a big boy at my Grandpa's cabin over New Year's.

Here is the first of many of Conner's very creative creations. This was his Santa's beard and mustache. He eventually went all out and got a red shirt and pants on with his black snowboots. Lance even got his black belt around Conner's waist. Unfortanately, I didn't get a picture of the whole outfit.

Porter's first Christmas. He actually did pretty good at unwrapping. He didn't get bored after ripping off the first piece.

Here is a picture of all of Lance's family (except his middle brother James and his mom) at Christmas. From left to right: Melanie, Wes, Mike, Porter, Conner, Aimee, Lance, Brayden, Brian and Julia.

I got a home made gingerbread house recipe and thought I would be adventurous and make them for the kids. Conner loved putting his house together. We're lucky that his house stayed together long enough for him to decorate it.

Brayden had me frost his house and then when he took over all he did was eat the frosting. He was in Heaven.

This is Brayden's poor house. It wouldn't stay together for anything. I even tried putting more and more frosting on it to make it stick, but nothing worked. Needless to say it ended up in the garbage. Brayden was just fine with it, since all he wanted was the candy anyway.

Here is Conner's finished house. He's quite the decorator.

I wanted to get a cute picture of all of the boys together. After many pictures, I went with the one where they were all looking at the camera with their eyes open. It still is pretty cute though.
