Cutie pies!

Wes was not a fan of sitting by Santa this year. He brought him his bells and sat with Kevin but it was a quick one  :O)

Santa came to Grandmas house!!! Andon was so excited he came to visit!

Precious little boys!!! They are some handsome little men :O)

It's our little Cheeseburgler! He went down the first time on his own and couldn't get enough!!
(xmas eve, Wes 2 1/2 yrs old)

Andon and me.....we had fun racing. (Christmas Eve 2012 - Andon 6yrs old)

The boys laying on the tube Christmas Eve before we went tubing. It was sooo much fun! I hope we get some more snow. The only thing is Wes didn't want to walk up the hill so we had to pull him up....little stinker. I will post some pics from the park. We hope you had a Merry Christmas! We had a great one. Andon got his Skylanders Giants and Wes was so happy with his HotWheels and "guys" (super heros).

Happy Adoption Day Weston! You light up our world. Life wouldn't be the same without you! We are so grateful we were chosen for you! We love more than words can say.

Andon is Star of the Week. We had so much fun with "super star" (the monkey) this weekend!

Andons new stash.

These little boys are the best thing that has ever happened to us! We can't imagine life without them.

Wes was good as his concert. He just stood there but was cute as can be. He was throwing up in the middle of the night so that could if been why.
We left the concert after his class performed. We come to find we are parked in. So there I was directing Kevin back and forth back and forth. That started to get me car sick so I went back in school to ask them to make an announcement. I came back to find Andon had found a pen and drew on his face and hands. Lol. His stash was too funny. I told him he had to shave it off before school. He got worried it would take layers of skin off. Haha.

Love these boys more than anything! Cutest brothers ever! :0)

We took the dogs for a walk and went ghost hunting. The boys are obsessed with hunting for ghosts. So far all we find is ghost dogs (xena and curly). One of our favorite things to do. They are so cute and we love their imaginations.

We went to see Santa. Weston sat there with that look the whole time. He wouldn't smile. Too funny. Andon talked to Santa and sat there cheesing the whole time. They went on a train ride through the mall after.

At the Christmas parade!

Andon saved all of his birthday money for Black Friday. He's been so excited. He asked to make a note on the calendar ;0)

The boys reading Goosebumps together Saturday morning. Cutie pies!

Andon made a grinch at build-a-bear.

Our little helper. Wes wanted to help insulate our attic.

The boys jumping on our bed. Wes is under the laundry basket. Haha.

And on addressed letter to the North Pole. How sweet is this. I can't find the thing he asked for anywhere either :/

Hello silly Wes!

My little butterball!

Andon started Tae Kwon Do this past Friday. This picture was taken the day after. He wanted to wear the top out so he could look cool. Haha.

Little Buddies.

Last weekend we took the dogs and boys out to some public hunting land. They brought their toy guns.
Are they the cutest ever or what!! They are loved to the moon and back! They make us so happy and so proud everyday! Andon is talking up a storm lately. We're so amazed at how much he's talking and how independent he is. He has to do everything himself. Andon on the other hand still wants us to so alot for him :O) We're working on doing stuff on his own but I don't mind it. I'm loving giving the mama help while I can :O) Andon came home and drew a picture of a skyland her wants really bad. He then wrote a letter to Santa all on his own. I almost cried watching him...I was so proud of him! Then he addressed the envelope all by himself. He's really trying to sound out what he's writing and tries making sentences on his own! Great job Andon! Keep up the good work! We are so proud of you peanut!
Weston had been trying to go potty on the toliet. He mostly wants to go when he sees Andon go. He hasn't actually gone on the toliet but he likes sitting on it. A few times we caught him with no diaper. He hides and rips it off and then pulls his pants back up. We let him wear underwear in the evenings when were home. So far peed on Lightening McQueen so we had to put him throw the carwash and wash him up. Then he tried so hard not to pee on his "guys" but he did on accident. He calls all the super hero figures his guys....he carries them around in his bag everywhere we go. So cute. Both boys always have to have something with them like that.

Andon saw these teeth at  Harvetfest so we had to find a pumpkin to fit them. He did a great job putting the teeth in and carving it. (10/12, 6 yrs old)

Weston and his pumpkin. Its hard to see the red marker all over it :O) Andon said it was scary because that was blood...hahaha (10/12, 2yrs old)

Camping, it's Big AJ and Little AJ.....Andon always wants to be Big AJ....too cute! This year Andon hung out with the older kids more. Where does time go......he's already telling me he's almost 7 now...haha (10/12)

Weston camping (10/12). He LOVES his suckers! He did such a great job trick or treating this year. I had to laugh because he can never just take one when people leave the bowls out....little stinker

~ October 2012, Andon, 6yrs old~

Ladies....the new David Beckham :O)

10/7/12 Some of the cousins ~ Andons bday party

Weston ~ July 2012 at my half sisters wedding. He danced like a Rockstar! Everyone was dancing with him :O)

Andon ~ July 2012 at my half sisters wedding. Cutie pie!

Harvest fest after the hayfight. We had so much fun! My new phone camera sucks and this was the only clear picture I got....darn.....I will get pics from our camera uploaded soon! I have pics from the party of the boys in their costumes!! Too cute!! Andon is a skylander and Weston is a dinosauer (which we think is a alligator but Andon picked it out a few years back as a dinosaur). This year Weston didn't show a interest in wanting to pick out a costume so he wore Andons old one. Next year I'm sure he will let us know what he wants to be :O)     (10/12)

10/2012 Worlds Cutest!!!! We took the boys to Harvest fest last weekend. Andon kicked butt at pumpkin bowling and Wes frosted a cookie with nerds. They loved the rides!!! Andon thought he was so school he could go on alone this year. I went on with Weston and almost peed myself because he was laughing so hard and yelling like the other kids. When the ride was over he leaned over and kissed me. They melt my heart into pieces!! Love you boys so much!!!

10/8/12...Yep this is how Andon left for school today and got on the bus! lol. He got this for his birthday and asked to wear it as his jacket today. How could I say no....hahaha

HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY to you Andon!!! We had such a fun birthday weekend!!! First he took Grandma to see Frankenweenie for her birthday on Friday (but he asked her to pick him up since he can't drive), then Saturday we went to go see Hotel Transylvania with cousins Abbie and Ellie. Then Saturday night we took our cousins AJ and Alexa for Zombie laser tag in the woods. That was a blast!!! (Andon wanted to go...haha). Wes stayed with Grandpa and Grandma and played games in the game room. Then he slept over at Grandmas after with his cousins. Sunday we had a Halloween birthday party! The kids all dressed up, we played games, roasted s'mores, had a giant Frankenstein pinata....oh ya and a Frankenstein cake. No one loves Halloween more than Andon!!! This morning the phone was ringing off the hook for him. Everyone called to sing Happy Birthday to him! Weston was already at Grandmas for the morning and when he said Happy Birthday to Andon his face just lit up....it melted my heart! Then I got to go to eat lunch with Andon. Today was parent/student day for lunch! He asked if next month Weston could come (too cute). Tonight he has a soccer game and after school he has his Mad Science we signed him up for. He absolutely is into science so we thought he would love this class (and he does). It's 6 weeks long and the kids do science experiments.....how cool is that! In November he's going to try Tae Kwon Do so that should be fun! We can't wait until Weston can start taking some activities ;o)

Hello you little stud muffin! Weston kept wanting to try to potty on the toliet after watching Andon so we decided to let him try the underwear and see how he likes it. This is what he thought of the Nemo unders......love him!!!!!! Hopefully he keeps showing interest. This was the first time he has. Before that he had nothing to do with it.

Mr. Personality :O) Westons new thing is getting naked and running around. The other night Kevin had to put surgical tape around his diaper to keep it on at night. Weston is a spitfire!! He sure exhausts us but I can't imagine not having him in our life. He constantly makes us smile and laugh. He's not going to bed at night the past few weeks. We were driving him around for a while and realized we can't be spending $75 extra a week doing this. Everynight we are Weston proofing something...lol....Kevin had to build fillers on Andons top bunk bed from plywood because he kept crawling up there at night. We have to remove drawers because he stands on them...yes the top drawer, rips clothes out of the drawers. We also remove all diapers and wipes at night because they will be all over the room. He is such a stinker pants and we love him with all our hearts. He is definitely 110% boy :O)  He's also a popsicle boy...hahaha. He's always wanting a popsicle. We can't wait to trick or treat with the boys this year! It will be so fun now that Wes is a little bigger. We also are going camping in later October and have so much fun with all the Halloween activities!
I'm sure Weston will be saying...Trick or Treat, Smell my Feet! Both boys have some stinkies too ;o)

9/6/12 Andons first full day of Kindergarten. He took the bus but I met him there just to make sure he got in ok. I don't think he seemed to care....hahaha. He already knows so many kids and went to class like a old pro. I admit I did cry again this year...it's so hard to see them grow up so fast and become so independent. At the same time it's so fun to watch them become the person they are. I just love Andons personality. He's different than most kids. He's such a bright child and we are SO proud of him. He's also mighty handsome I must say :O)
Today during lunch I started unpacking Halloween decorations...our favorite holiday!! Andon wants to have a Halloween themed party and I'm not sure who's more excited. I'm having so much fun thinking of games and clever treat ideas. I can't believe he is almost 6!!! Where does the time go?? We love you Andon! You make us so proud to be parents.

This is our new puppy Xena! (we couldn't get wes to sit in a pic) We totally weren't expecting to get a doggie this fast but it just happened. We knew we wanted a yellow lab next. Kevin was at the hunt club and saw these puppies on the board and they were born on his birthday. The boys are so exited to have her!! I can't believe how much Andon is adoring her. He constantly wants to be with her. He even asked us....ummm...when you guys get older and die...can I have Xena...u know....so I have a companion. That boy.....always thinking ahead I guess ;o)

ANDON:
Andon is all ready to start school tomorrow. We had his orientation yesterday and he got to check out the class, bus, all the kids. He can't wait!! He saw so many kids he knew and is really looking forward to start K5! I told him I might cry again but I hope not. He said...if your going to cry can you please do that in the house...hahaha! I can't believe how fast the boys are growing. It's amazing to watch them but at the same time it's sad. I had off yesterday and me and the boys had such a fun day together! Andon was acting so grown up. When his brother was upset in the car he kept trying to make him laugh.....too cute.
We took the dogs and kids to the hunting trails yesterday (to wear them both out...haha). It was so much fun. I'm so mad I didn't have the camera!! The image of the boys running down the trail with the dogs was adorable!!! Andon caught a frog and it peed on him....haha. Wes was hunting hard but didn't catch one. Good thing his big brother shared. Later we found a caterpillar but we forgot our bug box! We plan to go back often. We didn't realize how much fun the boys would have just walking the dogs.
We are also starting to plan his birthday party...he wants a Halloween themed party ....how fun...hopefully all the cousins can wear their costumes. Next year he's going to have a friends party again :O)

WESTON:
Poor little Weston has been struggling with ear infections since he was a baby. He's had a bad one since early July. He still tries so hard to be his happy, adorable, funny self. The ENT suggested he have his adenoids removed. They are very large and causing a lot of bacteria which they think is causing the chronic ear infections. The poor peanut has had 6 of them since the tubes were inserted. He fights us soooo hard to take medication. It usually takes the two of us to hold him down...it's horrible....he gets a popsicle after we do that ...I don't care if it's morning...I feel so bad for him. He LOVES popsicles.....orange ones...haha. We've been having to drive him around every night to get him to sleep. The little stinker pulls out his drawers and and stands on the top drawer, pulled his dresser over, pulls out everything out of every drawer, diapers all over, every single wipe all over the room....every night is something...haha. We sure hope its just a phase...haha.
We thinking him falling asleep sitting up feels better for him. Im sure his ears/sinuses is causing a lot of pressure when he lays down. We sure hope removing the adenoids helps him.
Weston is going to pick up an extra day at daycare starting next week. He will now be going two days a week. He gets very aggressive with other kids and we're thinking maybe because he's not communicating as well. We're hoping the other day will help strengthen his vocabulary/speech and help him play better with his friends.
Weston is growing like a weed....I look at him and I see no more baby :O(  He's at such a fun age right now. Everywhere we go he has to keep saying hi to everyone until they say hi back. He's absolutely adorable. I can't believe how many people don't say hello back....awww. He even says toodleloo when we leave....he's absolutely adorable!!! He's a very happy boy....he knows how to get anything from anyone with those big blue bedroom eyes.

Last Saturday we had to say goodbye to our little furry family member. It was a very hard night and so far it hasn't gotten easier. Reno gave us 16 great years. She was such a good doggie and we miss her a lot.
We were suppose to go to a friends 40th birthday party so we had dropped the kids off at my moms. Luckily they weren't with us to see how bad she was when we got home. Weston doesn't seem to notice and I'm not sure Andon knew how to act when we told him.He was kind of smiling but I'm sure he just didn't know what to do.

a "sishy".....some words you hope they always say wrong. Sishy is one of them. Too cute! I'm not sure if they had more fun fishing or playing with the worms. Andon had a blast getting frogs. It's didn't go over to well when he found out we weren't bringing them home. We hunt frogs in our yard and keep them a few days. It usually involves going to the pet store to by grasshoppers for them...hahaha!!  I don't know what I would do with a girl..I'm totally build for boys :O)  As long as they don't bring home snakes I'm ok with it.

Yes that is gum!! That is where Andon stored it all week...then rechewed.....gross but funny! He got that from his Goosebumps book.

LOVE!! I borrowed my moms camera chip because I forgot to put mine back in our camera. I found this picture on her camera. I want to blow this one up. They are just the cutest peanuts ever!!!...ok so Wes is more of a cashew....haha  :O) We were at Andons tball yesterday and Weston was standing by the fence like this yelling Go Andon!!! Andon would run over and smile. Even though they may fight and wrestle a lot they are best little buddies.

Lock up your daughters!! What a handsome little man...and so charming too!! I love the look on Andons face. Darn we have cute kids. Couldn't of made them cuter ourselves!!

Hello there cutie pie!!! Weston loves to swing!!
