Day at the Beach: 11-23-07






The boys went to the beach today, and Kelton got a HUGE bucket of shells to bring home, he's cleaning them again as I type this. Chase got to dip his toes in the Atlantic and loved it, we walked through shallow pools of water and picked up TONS of shells. It was a little chilly, but very fun!!

The Tool Boxes




Kelton showing off the latest presents, the coolest tool box that is also a tool bench and Chase got a tool box with a bunch of screws and wood, and we are happy boys!!!

Thanksgiving Day and Day-After


Boys playing with their TOOL gifts on Thanksgiving Day


Chase slept most of the day away- recovering, so Kelton got to decorate Grandma's little tree. Beautiful Job Buddy!


Day-After Thanksgiving, Chase is finally eating! Yay!!!

I don't have a baby anymore! You are such a big boy!!! Ate the whole bowl all by yourself!

Disney World, Animal Kingdom 11-20-07

Luckily we didn't have to wait but 3 minutes to take this picture, and Chase was sleeping- didn't want to wake the sick one (had sores in the mouth and teethig 3 teeth, it was horrible).

Pregnant ones couldn't go on this ride, so there aren't many pictures.


Outside the big "tree of life" from the Bug's Life 3D experience. The boys LOVED it!

Kelton and his Mickey. Chase of course got a ball, what else. They were so beat, that they passed out. Chase was still cranky from the sores in his mouth, but got some chicken and ate TONS since he barely ate anything all day. What fun!!!!!

St Augustine: 11-17-07



Kelton and Daddy went on top of the fort to see the cannon get shot off by men dressed as Spanish Soilders of the time, Kelton called them pirates.



Coming out of the fort onto the draw bridge while Daddy went with Grandpa to quickly purchase a small cannon for the boys. Just waitin'.....





Chase was trying to sleep, but got woken up by sitting in the sun here...oh well. The boys on the second draw bridge into the fort. This was the 10th built in the same spot, but in the 1500's, took over 20 yrs to build and it was built from the shells, sand and concerte. It was so spongey that cannon's would bounce off it's walls. This was pretty cool.




Mommy and Marie on the streets of St. Augustine watching the lighting ceremony and just talking, what they do best! We sure miss you!

The "love tree", legend says that you kiss under it, and your love will last forever, there was a palm tree in the middle of an oak tree. One tour guide even "gaurenteed" the love would last, we thought that was funny. Interesting though- this oak just grew right around the palm.

11-16-07 Presents!




Grandma and Grandpa have been giving a gifts while we have stayed here to see the boys open them up and enjoy them. This was the first day we were here in Jacksonville! Food for the kitchen!

HALLOWEEN

Halloween was great!

Kelton dressed up like a cowboy and Chase was a race car driver. Jake was out-of-state working, and attending his grandmother's funeral, and so we were on our own...which means we were with Grma and Grpa Choffin and fam. up in Rexburg. It was fun, and the outfits were cool. We attended their Trunk-or-Treat and Kelton ran out of gas about half way through while Chase thought that random strangers putting candy in his helmet basket was the coolest thing ever! The best thing about the night was that it was warm! Yeah! It hasn't been warm for Halloween in YEARS! But it was nice not have to the boys bundled so much they couldn't move!

I will be posting pictures soon, I promise! I just have to get them from my mom's camera! We finally got our back from being fixed, so we'll be posting again really soon! The boys are growing super quick...and the holidays are going to be a blast this year!

The boys and Max

Max, our puppy.


The boys with Max before we gave him away- it was a hard day! They LOVED Max, who was the most patient dog when it came to getting "birthday's" from Kelton and everything from being sat on, to pulled around, to played with. We miss you buddy!

Chase being a ham for the camera! :)

This is his smile when you say, "SMILE!"





Kelton's JoySchool Song

Kelton's Joy School Song, This is how the song goes,
"Oh boy, I've got Joy, I do I do.
I starts in my heart, and spreads to my head in a minute or two
and did you know, it can grow on my toes and make my
knees, so they don't freeze,
It feels so neat, from my head to my feet
I've got joy! I've got joy!"
