Tough guys get dirty (Fremont, WI - Jellystone park 9/2011)
Wes loves to play peek a boo threw the kitty hole. He sticks his forhead in there for kisses and laughs so hard. We even get a foot in our nose sometimes. Little stinker kicks us. Who would of thought we get so much fun out of the cat hole with the boys. His brother decided to crawl in it going up the stairs one day and got stuck. Wasn't easy getting him out....hahaha.
9/2011 Daddy and the Grandpas built a nice big jungle gym...the biggest one Menards had but Andon still loves the baby swing in the tree. The boys both race for it. ;o) Andon making a scary face. We can't get him to take a "normal" picture for the life of us. But that's ok, it shows his personality and how he was at this time  ;O)
Here's our little climber! Weston loves to climb on EVERYTHING. We have to put our chairs on our countertops because he won't stay off the table or counters. Little Monkey. Last Tuesday I was talking to my mom in the morning and she said.....Wes is on his way, I have to go and tie up the chairs. Even grandma has to tie her chairs. He's is so obsessed with the kitchen table and now he pushed chairs everywhere and climbs.

Weston is such a funny boy. He's always trying to make people laugh. He puts his blankie no his head and walks around and walks into things on purpose. Then he pulls it off and laughs hysterically. He has the happiest laugh!!

Last weekend we went camping and the boys got to sit next to Yogi Bear on the hayride. Weston was so excited! This year has been alot of fun camping with him now that he's a little older. We look forward to many more camping trips.

Weston absolutely loves birdies!!! We found a cartoon that is all about birds. He's in heaven when it's on and yells birdie the whole show. He's really trying to talk now. His favorite words to say are Birdie and Car (Cawwrrrr). We can't wait to hear more words :O)

Wes is definately going to be a tough little guy. Being the younger brother he's learning that he wont' take much. Him and his brother wrestle all the time and laugh every minute. At first Andon would tell on him and now they have a blast. Andon will be watching tv on his belly and Weston just jumps on him. Kevin and I usually join in and we have wreslting matches every night. The boys can't get enough.
Andons K4 picture. What a handsome little man!!! He's doing pretty good in school. He is not a fan of art what so ever. For homework he often has to draw pictures and some nights can be difficult. He loves computer lab!! Andon is so good with computers, ipods, iphones, etc. He's quite the little gadget boy. He even shows us a few tricks :O)

This past weekend we went to Yogi bear park to camp. Andon had a fun time with the bears. Boo Boo bear is his favorite. In fact that's his name when camping. All the kids are a bear and Weston is Ranger Smith. He got to tuck all of the bears in for hibernation. He thought it was so cool that Boo Boo Bear slept on the top  bunk. When we got back to the camper he wanted to sleep on the top bunk then.

Next weekend is his birthday. This year he wanted a angry birds birthday at Chuck E.Cheese. We are making him a angry bird cake that he can launch the birds and knock over cookies, marshmellows and cake. He found it on you tube and wanted it so bad. I'm going to have his cousin Alexa and him build it. That way they can make it how they want it and have fun doing it. Grandpa is making the sling shot.

The following weekend we are doing our last camping trip for the year. We are looking forward to it because they have alot of fun things to do such as trick or treat, haunted house and many more activities. The boys absolutely love camping!! We enjoy it as well.  Now that Wes is a little bigger we hope to camp alot more next year.

We will post birthday pictures. Sorry it's been a while. We've had so much going on every weekend.

And then we have Wes who is a member of the clean plate club. Thank god for dogs or our floor would constantly be full of food. Wes takes a bite for himself, then a bite for the dog, then a bite for him, a bite for the other dog. At least he shares. It's about the only thing he will share lately  ;o) Both boys are really possesive over their blankies. Grandpa had to put a W and  a A on the blankets. Now Andon makes sure whos is whos. Too funny.....
8/31/11 I made Andon a cake for his first day of school. I remember coming home and having special treats my mom made us. I will do the same for the boys. I wanted to celebrate his first day and have him tell us all about it. He ate all the frosting off his piece. Sometimes he eats the cake but usually just eats the frosting.
9/6/11 Weston had his follow up for his ear tubes. Everything went great and he passed his earing test!! Yay! He looks like such a big boy in this picture. He crawled up in the chair all by himself. He has an obsession with climbing on the kitchen table!! A really bad one!! So we have to keep our chairs on the counters otherwise he's on the table non stop doing donuts...hahaha.
9/6/11 Andon first homework assignment, self portrait. This was the second picture. We had a bit of a melt down about the first one. Andon is not liking doing homework at all. He dislikes art very much!! Anything to do with art is not his thing  ;o) He did a great job on this picture. He's wearing a dragon shirt and the dragon has 5 claws. He also has his slippers on ;o) He gets easy homework like, counting stuffed animals before bed, dressing himself, writing his name, reading with someone, giving compliments. He is really liking school so far. He said he loves computer lab!!! He's going to be our little computer nerd!!!  :O)
9/2011 Weston has become King of the Slushies! We can't shop without one or he will try to get out of the cart. He doesn't like to sit still shoppping. This works like a charm. His brother will shop til he drops ;o)
9/2011 Andon wanted me to take his picture. He said he looks like Krusty the Clown. Silly kid.

This picture was taken this morning (9/1/11). We told Andon he could watch tv or go on the computer after he got dressed and had breakfast. Weston always crawls up on the chair with him. This is one of my favorite pictures! Shortly after this Weston was stepping on Andons legs and pulling his shirt. Andon then tried pushing him down. What brotherly love. It was so precious while it lasted  :O)
Andons first day of school went great. I did get a note sent home that he wasn't following uniform rules. I sent him to school with light up shoes and apparently you can't wear those. Ooops. We went shoe shopping last night for new shoes! When the bus dropped him off two kids had to hug him on the way out. Then the older kid Hayden on the bus yelled out the window that he wanted a playdate with Andon. Too cute! Andon is already asking for a slumber party with him. Hayden goes to a different school though but they share the bus ride. He must of learned to play simon says because we played it in the car on the way to get new shoes ;o) Today he is so excited to take hot lunch (cheeseburger). At first he didn't want to because he thought he could only get chocolate milk with cold lunch.

Weston is enjoying the only child life while his big brother is in school. He plays without any distractions ;o) I made Andon a cake for his first day of school and we were pigging out after dinner. Andon ate only the frosting as usual and Weston ate the entire plate full as usual ;o). Weston saw Lighting McQueen on his fork and pointed and said cawwrr (car). He is recognizing and saying so much lately. He even pulls our shirts up and points and says bewey (belly). He's Mr. Independent that's for sure.

Both boys are doing great and growing into amazing kids, not that they aren't already. They both have such different personalities and we love them both to pieces!
