We went to my parent's house for Thanksgiving and to my shock they painted the shed door. From red to creamy yellow. I can't believe they didn't consult me.
My papa set up an archery range for the kids, much to their thrill.
Calvin is still lamenting this stick he left at my mom's house(Mom, could you save it for him?).
Reepacheep.
This face. Who me?
Yes YOU Tweeds. Can you believe this face poked a bunch of fat holes into my vintage vinyl desk chair with a pencil on Thanksgiving morning?
Mama was not happy and he got in big trouble. At least he fessed up immediately and did not tell any tall tales. That was appreciated. He immediately raised his hand with a smile and happily admitted "I did it!" Seriously I do not know what to do with a wild destructive child. It must get under control before he does any serious damage. Tips welcome!
Last fall when I found out that my little sister was pregnant, I dreamed of the THIS Thanksgiving, where she would have plumpalicious 5 month olds.
They are too precious for words and my joy was made complete. Happy sigh.
My crew is pretty much unphotographical these days, but here are a few we managed to sneak for this Thanksgiving of 2012.
So thankful for these little boys.
And for my honey bunny.
Unfortunately, I got sidetracked by a wayward toilet and forgot to take pictures of anyone else that day. It had to be plunged, peeps, and it was done most enthusiastically by yours truly. Those 200+ toilets I plunged at Hume Lake summer of 2005 weren't for naught.My papa set up an archery range for the kids, much to their thrill.

SO extremely thankful for God's love, family, friends and toilet plungers.
Beautiful photos...such a good looking family :) And I'm totally with you on the plump babies!! I can't get enough of my 4 month old niece this weekend!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I will be coming back to see if any advice is offered in the destructo boy department...I have one of those!! ;)
Oh your photos, Davi!!!! I'm swooning! (and lamenting my photographical woes. I'm having SUCH issues with my camera! Or lens? I don't really know. My photos are nothing but CRAPTASTIC these days....which is making me look into a lovely full frame. Wish me luck! haha :)
ReplyDeleteI love your wild and crazy boys. Such an adventurous life, holes in your beloved chair and all!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! xo
your photos are ALWAYS fantastical girlie! i have no idea what you are talking about, really! you are so amazing with your camera!!!!
DeleteSeeing pictures of your parent's backyard is making me sentimental...I remember helping you bring in your laundry from that clothes line out there. Thoughts of growing up together....shaving our legs together sitting on the edge of your parent's tub, eating canned soup at your table after snow skiing....good times. These pictures of your sis' babes makes me also miss my sis' babes! xo
ReplyDeleteLOL LOL about shaving our legs together. You have a good memory. Love you so much.
DeleteLove these pics, though cracking up about the toilet issues! I'm quite proud to have a sister that can enthusiastically fix such a mess :) You and your boys looked adorable btw.
ReplyDeleteYou really take the best photos!
ReplyDeleteWhere is Calvin's adorable striped shirt from?? Love it.
ReplyDeleteThose pictures of the babies and your sister's family are DIVINE. I think that's the best baby age ever. Goodness, they're gorgeous.
And lastly, there is no advice to give, unfortunately. Other than learn to let go, sister. My first two boys were pre-programmed to ultra-super-extreme destructo. It's frustrating, rage-inducing and depressing. The worst my boys have done is shattering the rear windshield of our van. Seriously. At age 4 1/2 and 2 1/2 they accomplished that. And so many others, I could go on for days. I guess one good tip I learned was don't punish them for childlike behavior. Only for true disobedience. Hard to tell the difference sometimes. Good luck. Deep breaths. Lots of prayers and patience. (Oh wait, forgot I was talking to you. Started talking to myself there).
wow, thanks for the great advice. i think you are SPOT on. You seem very wise.
Deleteand Calvin's striped shirt is from Target!
beautiful photos! where do you get your kiddos clothes from? you guys always look so well dressed! sorry about the toilet issues.
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not but most everything they are wearing is from Target!
DeleteYour little Tweeds just cracks me up!!! My son walked across my kitchen floor with his track cleats on when he was old enough to know better. I've been waiting for his son to do something similar. LOL But honestly, your boys are such a delight. Your blog brightens my day. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHappy thanksgiving to your family Davi! Your blog makes me smile :)
ReplyDeleteLove how thankful... your blogs are always a highlight to my day. Your family just can not take a bad picture! The first picture is just priceless:)
ReplyDeleteyou take great photos!! can't wait to see if anyone has tips on taming a wild child :)----> i could use some too!
ReplyDeletethe twins grew SO FAST!!
ReplyDeleteoh my. are they yummy.

thankful for you.
of course these pics are all to die for. love the first one of your sis looking at her man and the kiddos looking at you. so fun...and i think a toliet is a perfectly acceptable excuse for not taking more pics:) can't wait to see you soon!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm just sitting her getting caught up on your blog (I was woefully behind) and of course as usual there is just far too much wonderful stuff to even comment on (my brain is going a million different directions, I think all the cuteness and adorableness and funny-ness is giving me ADD), so I will just leave you with this: Jeremy has the same flannel shirt as John!!
ReplyDeletethere, aren't you so glad I left this comment?
you are welcome.
ummmm . . . how did i miss that you have comments again?! how did that all go down?! i guess i need to keep reading and catch up more on your awesome adorable life.
ReplyDeletein other random news, you and your man are haaawt. and your littles are just too cute for words. even though they won't pose for the camera. :)
