the tree

Fletcher,

We had such a great time picking out a tree this year! It was awesome. We went to one of Daddy's friends tree farms, and they had crafts, and they drove us right to the trees, and cut it down for us, and tied it up and put it in our car for us! You hung out in the front pack while Hazel stomped around in the mud by the trees. We love this little tree! And decorating, well, you watched and played with all the tissue while we decorated. 

 

We love you, little boy!

blue eyes

Fletcher,
You are super cute (obviously). Most people comment first on your eyes, and I have to agree, they are beautiful!

I don't think you could get any cuter!

Love you,
Mommy and Daddy

we are thankful

Fletcher,
It was your first Thanksgiving, and we spent it with Nana, Papa, Aunt Al, Aunt Hannah, and Uncle Ty this year. Well, and all the rest of Nana's family too! We did so many fun things, and you were a trooper, as always. You munched on some of Daddy's sweet potatoes, and I'm pretty sure he let you taste some other yummy things too. Turns out you liked it...a lot! It was so fun spending all that time with family.

You are just so easy to love, with that big smile and super happy personality!
We love you,
Mommy and Daddy

music time

Fletcher,
Have I mentioned recently how happy you are. Like 96.8% of the time you are totally content. I really think it's just going to be who you are. Chill, low key, easy going, go with the flow, happy. This is how I imagine your friends are going to describe you in high school, and it makes me smile. Maybe I'm totally wrong, but I'd bet on it. Anyway, these pictures capture you well. Joyful, smiling, and silly!

This one makes me want to vomit. Dog kisses are gross. Open mouth dog kisses-Yuck. But, you seemed to like it.

Meanwhile, your sister looked like this. Yes, I believe you should have this picture to hold against her. Don't hold it too smugly though, I'm sure there will be one of you at some point.

Also, you do this and rock back and forth approximately all day. I wonder when you'll figure out you can move around this way?!

Lastly, does it hurt when your eyelashes hit your forehead? Sheesh, they are long!!!

We love you, happy boy!

a football and super hazel

Hazel,

We were a little behind the game on Halloween this year. Fortunately, your sister LOVES her Super Hazel cape Aunt Al made her, and we thought that would make a good costume. The other good news is that we got a sleeper for you that was a football, which made a perfect costume too. You guys are so cute! We ended up going down by Clearlake Elementary since that is a much bigger neighborhood. There were so many families out, it was just perfect! The fire department was even out and we got to sit on a fire truck. Pretty sure you didn't even notice, but that's okay! We had fun, and you did great (as always).

We love you!

pumpkin patch, from the front pack.

Fletcher, we did it! We made it to the pumpkin patch this fall! You were such a trooper, hanging out in the front pack the whole time while we explored. We can't wait for next year when you get to try some of the fun games and activities. You did seem to enjoy the tractor ride to see the pumpkin patch!

We love you, buddy!

big kid bath

Fletcher,
You are sitting up so well now that we thought we'd try out sharing the bath with Hazel. Good news, you loved it! Apparently splashing is a hobby of yours. Seriously, you'd win a gold medal. You splash big, and are quite persistent. You don't even care that you splash yourself more than anything else, you just keep going.

We love you, you crazy guy!
Mommy and Daddy
