crawling

Mr. Sullivan started crawling on the 13th of Februaury....

About a week before he turned 8 months.

He is growing up way faster than I would like.

He waves bye bye and can find us whenever he wants.

Cute little scuttle bug!

Awkward

Here is the thing....I love my son.

I think he is very handsome.

He is my first born.

He has lovely lips and big eyes.

Don't even get me started on his kindness.

But we have reached a stage,

and it's a little

well....

Awkward

The teeth....

He visited the Orthodontist in January and we got right on his Ortho work. He got an expander that has made his once gapless teeth very gappy.

Andrea often tells me how she can't post so many pictures because her kids look goofy in them....Well I will for the next 2 years be posting pictures of my metal mouthed, goofy looking kid.

Can you imagine how gorgeous his smile will be in 2 years....watch out ladies.

The best part of all this is that he just doesn't care how goofy he might look. He thinks it's cool and likes when kids notice his big gap.

To be 11 again.....

He especially likes that he can put 1 quarter and 1 penny in between his front teeth. His cousin Hunter could fit 5 quarters in between his so he has big goals to catch up.

He got his braces put on yesterday so more pictures to follow.

I think I should leave you with a lovely picture of my first born looking devilishly handsome. It's amazing what 2 months can do to an 11 year old.

Von Lamoreaux Family Singers

The last weekend of January my four oldest children sang in Sacrament in front of everyone.

It was AMAZING!

I may be prejudice but it melted me.

Gwyn sang a solo in her very sweet voice and the boys backed her up with their loud voices on the chorus.

My parents came down for the weekend to help support them.

Its always nice when they come to visit.

They sang He Sent His Son here are the tender words:

How could the Father tell the world of love and tenderness?
He sent his Son, a newborn babe, with peace and holiness.

How could the Father show the world the pathway we should go?
He sent his Son to walk with men on earth that we may know.

How could the Father tell the world of sacrifice, of death?
He sent his Son to die for us and rise with living breath.

What does the Father ask of us?
What do the scriptures say?
Have faith, have hope, live like his Son,
Help others on their way.

What does he ask?
Live like his Son.

Very proud....that's what we are!

Cute

He's cute....even though he is about to crawl and it makes me want to cry he is growing up so fast.

He's cute even though he probably faked being sick and stayed home with me...

and then convinced me to fly kites.

He's cute even when he is telling taller tales than anyone should.

Just a whole lot of cutness around here...
