Boys+Trucks

Weston was out back doing his "job" (making dirt piles with his trucks) the other day.
 It's pretty hard work....
 Then Connor came along....(this is the face he makes when he sees a camera....)
 .....I have to wait until I tell him "all done" (taking the picture) to snap a good shot! lol!
 anyhow....Connor came with his little truck to help out.Weston wouldn't share one of his big trucks with him...but as soon as Connor got to the "job site"...Weston decided that Connor's truck looked pretty cool...and decided to share.
they worked hard together (for maybe 5 mintues!) and then Connor left to go attack the cat. Note Weston's spurs. That boy has "moving dirt and cows" blood running through his veins. He talks about having horses and a barn when he grows up...and he thinks we need to get a cow...because he's never milked one before. :)

 And here's another example of how Connor will "smile" for the camera....
And another example of how cute he is (snot face and all)!

A little update on the boys:

Connor has been yapping up a storm lately. (Geez...Weston too...that kid talks NON-stop!) Connor loves to yell "MOM! Where are you!?" when I am standing right by him. He also likes to ask "Whayadoning?" (translation: "what are you doing?") over and over again. It's acutally kindda cute. He says, "Bye, see ya" when he leaves the room. He really loves to yell "BYE!!!" to people who leave the house. He says prayers now...(with help)...and he always wants to be the one to pray. He still loves his paci and proved to Brandon and I last night that we are not ready to take it away yet! (he went to sleep without one and woke up in the middle of the night screaming his head off asking for a paci...) He's a cute little booger. He loves to tease and say things just to make us laugh. He laughs at his own "jokes" too. Oh! Another thing he likes to ask is "Cool?" ("is that cool!?"). He will ask that after his has done some trick or made a weird noise. lol!

Weston is funny too. He is our little philosopher. He comes up with some good questions. You can tell he really thinks about things. A few weeks ago, he woke up in the early morning. I laid down by him and he just started talking. He was talking about Heavenly Father and Jesus and how Jesus is our brother and how Heavenly Father loves bad people, he just doesn't love what they do. And then he started talking about how Heavenly Father gives his "power" to His boys. I asked him if he knew what Heavenly Father's power was called...and then told him that it is the Priesthood. He said, "Oh, now I know that." Well, as much as I was enjoying our little conversation, I finally had to tell him to "stop talking and go to sleep".

Anyhow. He is a smart kid. He likes to do addition and he can't wait to go to Busy Bee Pre-School next year. :)

Those are great photos. Those boys are going to have so much fun together as they grow up. I love the cowboy boots! Too cute. Yep...looks like it runs in their blood to be out on the ranch. I love Conner's face when you try to take a picture. So cute. Jennifer, he is growing up so fast! He looks so much like Brandon. He looks like a toddler...not a baby! Thanks for the photos.
