Boys turn 2

Starting the Day
October 1st marked the boys 2nd birthday. We still feel they are a little young to go "all out" for their birthday, so we kept it simple again this year. It is starting to get a little cool here, especially in the mornings so I dressed the boys in a beach bum fashion, shorts and a sweat shirt. Skyler picks out some of his own clothes and shoes, and he chose to wear slippers this morning.




Dinner with some family
After their morning milk, we were off to daycare. They had a pleasant surprise when Grandma Carma picked them up early. She brought them home and they played with Grandma Carma and Papa Craig, who was in town for the marathon. We had a little pizza for dinner.




Presents
After Pizza it was present time. They still don't really understand this concept. Skyler was the first to open his presents. I made them quilts, G-ma Carma got them these cool microphones and toy cars, and Papa Craig and G-ma Teresa got them puzzles and these super cool night lights that are like stuffed animals that project stars and a moon onto the ceiling...it looks like you are outside. The Lounsbury's got them GIANT coloring books as well as new crayons.







Cake & Ice Cream
Grandma Carma made the boys a cookie cake. And I heard they got into the frosting a little premature (Their poop was blue the next day). Our cousins Cinthia and Landon and their kids made it for cake and ice cream as well.




Family Photos
To mark their 2nd birthday, we went an had family pictures taken. The boys were VERY rambunctious, and I was glad we got a couple good ones.


















In a few days I will try to post info about the boys individually...give all these pictures a moment to sink in!

St. George Marathon

On Oct. 3rd David ran the St. George Marathon. Papa Craig was going to run it as well, but due to injury he was unable to. He was a little sad that he had to stand in the cheering section with us, but I was very grateful for his help with the Twinkies, and we are so proud of all his other marathons he has done, including Boston! GO PAPA!!!

Anyway Skyler had a blast watching all the racers come in. He really get in to these things, it is so fun. Connor on the other hand was more concerned with the balloon that was tied to a stroller about 10 feet away, and that he couldn't have it.

David ran the marathon in just under 4 hours. I am going to make him come and tell a little about it...

Well the I woke up the marathon morning tired and not ready to run, but I was going to make myself do the marathon. My goal was under four hours and I got that. The race was going great till about mile twenty and then I broke down. That is the problem with being sick for a month and not doing a long run. Next year I hope to break the three hour mark. We will start training this week.

Well, Oct. 1st was the boys 2nd Birthday. I havn't posted anything yet because I am waiting for our family pictures to come back. But here are some random photos to tide you over until then.


Connor had fun playing with Papa's glasses (above) and I can't believe he still sleeps like this (below)



Skyler is such a ham it is funny


This is the boys favorite place to eat now on the little bar stools.


The boys love their Grandma Carma, and when she comes to visit. Sometimes she surprises them and picks them up from Daycare.
