Sleepy Sickies

When the colds hit our house it didn't skip the boys.  For some reason Ryan chose to sleep on the couch so when Tommy woke up (unhappily) and found him there, he climbed up and fell back asleep.  Cute boys.  Love them.

My Handsome 12 year old

This has been a summer of big events for Ryan.  He turned 12 in the summer (while on the Boy Scout National Jamboree) and then was able to receive the Aaronic Priesthood. The week after he got home.  His first time passing the sacrament was the next Sunday.  I think he was excited but a little bit intimidated.  It was nice for him to be surrounded by boys that he knows well and respects and who were able to lead him in this new responsibility and adventure.

 Doesn't he look sharp as he heads off for his first Sunday passing the sacrament?  He was very excited and even got to pass to Scott for his first time. 

Makeup Photo Shoot

Izzy and Hannah decided to do silly makeup and wanted pictures taken afterwards.  Since the boys were gone that evening, I decided I'd do makeup and nails for them so we could do a better photo shoot.  I really should have done their hair, but seriously, considering the fact that Thomas was at my feet, I think things turned out quite well.

 Tommy wanted in on the photo action - I'm aware he's missing clothes, but he has a diaper on so I think we get bonus points.
