Sam is Walking!!


He is following in big brother's footsteps so far!  9 1/2 months and he took his first steps. Just like Jacob.  He isn't walking as his primary mode of transportation, but he is getting better each day.  I love when they can walk!  They are so much happier.  No more scraping knees and picking up every little piece of lint they see in front of them!  On to bigger and better.

We sure love this kid -- who wouldn't???

Cold day outings!!

Our first real snow!  The boys were thrilled to play in it and we dug through the winter box and pulled out the gear.  Jake was very thoughtful to shovel the sidewalk for us -- hopefully that will carry over into the teenage years!
 
Our friends the Cleggs called and invited us to go to the BYU Bean museum since it was going to be a long cold day -- we were totally up for it! 

The museum, has live reptile shows that are free to the public and was a perfect way to entertain some rowdy boys.
Jake was totally into it as you can see...

Luke wasn't quite sure he liked all the life-size, life-like animals. But none-the-less enjoyed getting out of the house.

But, we couldn't forget our tradition of "snow ice-cream" when we got home.  We introduced it to the Cleggs.  I don't know if they liked it as much as we do, but it was a perfect treat for the perfect snowy day!!
