Love My Boys!

Has it seriously been almost 2 years since my last post???  I probably don't even have any readers left anymore because I have let them all down (all 2 of them).  Anyhow, I got inspired by my sister-in-law's post about her kids and thought maybe I should do a little journal post about the kids.

I was putting the kids to bed tonight (rare occurrence because Jared usually does) and Kincade couldn't find his "last drink."  I told him to just use Kellen's and hop in bed.  A few minutes later, I see this:

and Kincade explains "I got a second drink (jrink) and the lid is on tight and it's in this pack."

Archer is crawling all over the house.  It has made him a little less whiny and dependent on me.  There are times when he's on the floor and I get peace and quiet.  And then I find him:

And I don't mind the mess one bit because I got some peace and quiet.  And when he's in Jared's office, this is usually how you'll find him:

So happy to be dumping out the flashlight parts!

Saw this in my bed the other day and had to snap a picture:

These boys are so luck to have such a great dad and they don't know how lucky they are that he's around all day every day.  Jared tries to be very accommodating of them, even though he has to work and sometimes he has to explain to them that he has to work to get money to pay for things.  Today I told Kincade that he had to come to the store with me so he wouldn't bug Dada because he was working.  Kincade said, "He always lets us bug him.  And we ask him and he dos it and then he gets back."  He is always so good and patient with them and prints coloring pages, gets them drinks, lunch, or whatever they ask for.  Yesterday we were at the book store and a lady asked him if he was a teacher. She said he was so patient, she figured he must be a teacher.

And a blast from the past:

This is Kellen at 18 months:

And this is Archer at 9 months:

Notice the swimsuit in both videos.  And, yes, they do look alike.

These 3 boys love being older brothers.  They all love Archer and say he's the cutest baby ever and they love him so much.  They often try to explain how cute he is "He's so cute that I'm going to die."  The just think he's the best baby ever.  And I couldn't possibly disagree.

Bridger tells me the other day:

"If I was a vampire, I would suck Archer's blood last of the whole world......Actually, I would step into the sun instead of sucking Archer's blood."

This might seem strange to some of you, but I thought it was so sweet that he loves his brother that much.

  

These boys do not want Archer to grow up (much) - they love him crawling and find it hilarious and can't wait for him to walk.  He was copying them the other day and you can hear in the background how hilarious they think he is (and you can see for yourself how cute he is):

And Archer definitely loves them back.
