Thanksgiving & a few random pics

Here are some random pictures from the last couple weeks...

Here are the boys being silly with funny glasses a couple weeks ago at small group

Despite the boys cheering them on - Center Grove still lost the game. 

I tried to tell the boys the Christmas story and leave the nativity scene at their level to see but all they wanted to do was play with it and see if they could make it pop in the ball popper. 

The boys helped us with the tree - thus far it is still standing and in one piece!! 

They wanted to help me make Thanksgiving dinner - here they are stirring something up...

Then they had to help me make my shopping plan for Friday...

Then we had some fun just hanging out...

Have you ever seen any cuter Santa's???

They were very excited to be sitting in the big boy chairs at the island!! 

Handsome boys!!!

Costco was having an AWESOME deal on holiday pictures (no sitting fee and packages starting as low as $7!!!!)  I took the boys today, I figured tomorrow would be too crazy with everyone trying to get there.  She took 50 pictures and here are some of my favorites!!! 

Here was the first shot that was taken - they had only been awake about 5 minutes at this point and I was unsure how the whole thing was going to go based on their inital reaction but as you will see things got better.  I was just glad they weren't crying!!!

Rylee

Baylee

The "money" shot - both of them smiling!!! 

Fun weekend

We had a great weekend!!  We went to a church in Anderson on Sunday that is the sponsor church of the group that did our home study, which is one of the first steps in the adoptiong process.  They were having a special service to honor National Adoption Month and we were asked to be a part of that.  The boys of course had no problem adjusting to being in a new place - they started exploring just about as soon as we got there!!!

They did stop for a minute to take a break and pose on the bench.

They are even all smiles in the car!! 

Like mommy, they really like to watch seasame street - especially ELMO!!! 

If Rylee is sleeping and Baylee is not he is determined to wake him up!!! 

Then he wanted to play with him while he was eating!! 

WE run this place!!!!

We were at the mall tonight and we ended up buying something that took a while to check out and so we ended up at the mall kiosk after the mall had closed and the boys thought they owned the place - here are some shots of their adventure!!!

They loved the balloons that they were given - Baylee loved it so much he fell asleep with it on the way home

But then they both woke up and are still up right now at 11:30 pm!!!!!

Playtime pictures

Here are some shots of the boys this week just playing and hanging out.  They are at such a fun and playful age they just crack me up!!! 

When just hanging out Rylee prefers laying on his belly propped up on his arms - it is just so cute!!

As I have posted before - baby proofing devices are lost on my children - they find them to be toys and not distractions!! 

So I just gave up and came up with this solution!!!

Having a sweet brotherly moment, too bad Baylee caught me taking the picture - they were just looking at each other and talking before he spotted me!!! 

Hopefully they don't learn too soon how to "flick" the towels - I HATE that - it hurts!!! 

Terry and I got new cell phones today - the boys are really happy about that because that means they can play with our old ones as much as they want!!
