The Pincher

Every picture was so cute, I just had to put them all on. Tannen tried Cheerios for the first time last night and loved them. So we (yes I munched on them too) had some more today and had a great time eating them. He is really getting the pincher grasp down.

Also yesterday I went in to get him in the morning and he sat up all by himself. He did it one more time yesterday in the evening with Marcus. We are completely in love with this little guy.

New Snow Pants

Silly kids


Playing together

I went to Shopko and bought my kids some snow pants. I was shopping for shirts for Landon and saw in an add that the snow pants were only $11.88 so I jumped on that. I have never bought snow pants for my kids. Boise was really nice and you would only play in the snow one or twice a year, so it didn't seem worth the money. But here it is cold and after last winter I was more than happy to get them. It seemed like a good deal so I got them. Other people must have to because there wasn't a lot in their size left.

After we came home I had them try them on to see how they fit. The fit great, and then Landon and Kylie decided to ride their bikes in them. It really cracked me up and I thought they were so cute so I took a picture of them. The grass is still green, but it is chilly outside.

I did get some shirts for Landon and the other kids. But Landon found a camo shirt - the one he is wearing. And really wanted it because he wanted to hide outside at school. I told him he might blend in with the grass a little, but not the toys. He seemed delighted and also needed to get a green shirt as well.

All I want for Christmas....

.... is my two front teeth

Landon lost his other front top tooth. So as you can see he is missing two teeth. It seems pretty dramatic to have teeth pulled over here. He was eating dinner Tuesday night and pushed it back. It started bleeding but he wouldn't let us pull it. Then dinner Wednesday night he did it again, but I told him it was hanging off, and pulled it before he knew what to do. Afterward he was delighted and said that eating food was a great way to get teeth loosened up. Crazy kid - he was in tears over it. Oh well I am just glad that we don't have any more loose teeth over here for a while.

Canning

On Monday and Tuesday I did a ton of canning. I did Peaches and Pears. In the end I came out with 21 quarts of peaches, 1 batch of peach jam, 5 sm bags of frozen peaches, and 28 quarts of pears. It was quite the job. Marcus helped me with the pears which was very nice. Also about a month ago I went to McCammon to make applesauce with my mother in law. We made 20 quarts of it and I got to take home 14 quarts. I was so pleased with it.

Thou Shall Not Worship False Idols

Landon: In the garage riding his bike

Marcus: "Hey what are you doing get in here." (It is time for bed)

Landon: Rides his bike and hits the car

Marcus: "Careful I don't want you scratching and denting the car."

Landon: "It's only a car."

Marcus: "Ya, but I don't want it to look ugly."

Landon: "It's only a car, you don't worship it."

Marcus: "You are absolutely right, but I don't want dents and scratches all over my car."
