Kyle is ONE
MONTH
OLD!
Aaaw... aren't they sweet? Hey, check out that middle finger on Jared! He got in a fight with his truck. He sliced the tendon above his knuckle in two working on the engine. Didn't he break his arm 2 years ago when Lance was a newborn? Jared, if you really don't want to change the diapers, just say so!

A pile of boys!
I caught Lance smiling again in Grandma Judy's arms!

Boys 'n' their babes
Who do you think Kyle looks like?
Jared wasn't sure how he was going to tell the boys that the firetruck that was inside this huge box wasn't for them, it was for his Make a Wish kid. When it came time to open it and put it together, he explained to Jace that it was for this boy with Leukemia. The first thing that came out of Jace mouth was, "Can I have the box?" He and Lance had a great time decorating their house.

This is the helicopter Lance got for his birthday. He keeps it close by him all day, and even sleeps with it! We have a helipad right by our apartments now. The Lifeflight Helicopter is temporarily using this one while they do construction on the other one, so Lance has gotten to watch and hear the helicopter take off and land many times. He talks nonstop about "the teletopter!" Maybe he'll be a pilot someday :)
Jace vaccumed the carpet and had so much fun, he wanted to vacuum the couches, too! He took them apart and really gave them a good deep vacuum cleaning. He has become quite the handy helper at home. Aside from helping in the kitchen with setting the table and unloading the dishwasher, he can't wait 'til he's tall enough to turn on the washing machine! Today, he got Lance dressed for church! Thank goodness, or we would have REALLY been late!
I have asked Jace if he would stay home from school to help me. He said, "Mom, I want to go to school!" He wouldn't even take a ride with me to school one morning that I was going anyway, because he wanted to ride the school bus.

Lance is a caterpillar, Kyle is a little pumpkin, and Jace scared everyone at the Halloween party with his vampire costume! He even won the "Scariest Costume" prize!
Lance is enjoying the cake he won at a Halloween party cake walk.
