Knock knock

Nolan has now discovered knock knock jokes. (Probably has something to do with big brother's joke telling.) So, Nolan is BIG into knock knock jokes.

Knock knock.

Socks.

You get the idea. We can't help but think it's about the cutest thing we've ever seen. :)

The little reindeer on stage

Waylon's preschool once again put on a great Christmas program. I must say, I was one proud momma. :) They sang "Away in a Manger," "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," and "We Wish You a Merry Christmas." Waylon practiced many nights at home, and loved being one of the most animated kids on stage.

Nana manned the camcorder, and I of course, took photos non-stop. That left Daddy and Nolan with the big job of being Waylon's fans. Nolan lived up to the part, smiling and dancing, and clapping loudly after each song. We were all proud of our little Reindeer on stage. :)

Ready for Christmas

The boys loved helping get the Christmas tree ready this year. Both boys took their turns placing ornaments on the tree... and, Nolan did his share of taking them off, too. :)

Both boys became very fascinated with Santa this year, too. Waylon had plenty of questions: "How does he fit down the chimney?" "What if a family doesn't have a chimney?" "What happens if we wake up while he's at our house?" And, Nolan wandered the house saying, "Ho, Ho, Ho!" all month long. Oh, the fun of the holidays with little ones.

Officially in the sheep business!

At the end of December, we officially became sheep breeders! Craig make the trek to Stanley Poe's to purchase three bred ewes, which Waylon named Fancy, Rose and Bella. (Yes, Bella may have been a suggestion of mommy's, due to her Twilight obsession. Ha!)

The boys love the sheep. Nolan every day says, "Baaa, woof woof, horsey, daddy," in that order. Just recounting our inventory of livestock and the primary caretaker. And, the babies have added even more fun. (I'll just have to keep you in suspense a bit longer to see those photos! hehe.)

Once again... way behind

So, once again, it's been a few months since I've posted. Man, who knew this would be so tough to keep up on! :)

Life has been fast and furious for the past few months -- mostly with good things. The boys continue to grow and change daily. So much fun!

Waylon loves preschool. He is learning so much, and adores his teacher, Mrs. Anderson, and has several friends in school. What a blessing to have such a wonderful preschool in our little town!

In November, Waylon's class theme was "farms." So, of course, they took a field trip to Birkey's, to see tractors and combines up close! Craig served as tour guide. He did very well, considering he's used to talking "details" with his customers. I told him all he needed to say was, "That's a planter. A little bitty seed goes in the ground. It grows up to be a tall plant!" Ha. Great memories.
