Big Brother Reuben!

Reuben had never really showed an interest in coloring until spending all summer with Alexia, his super cute older cousin. This is one of his many masterpieces. And although he TRIED to stay in the lines....or on the paper..... it really didn't happen that way. HOWEVER, he was very happy to clean up his mess. I think that might have been the most fun! I asked him if I could help clean it and he said, "No mommy- I do it!" OK!!!!!
Reuben also loves reading. He makes sure that Jace has a book also. This was in Phoenix, but every night when Jorge and I are reading scriptures- the boys get their "scriptures" and "read" while we do. When they get a little older we'll start with BOM reader, but until then....this is cute, and fun. Reuben also does chores. He asked for them. He puts our scriptures in their little cubby and he gathers their socks when I wash whites and puts them away. He gets so excited and runs around the house while we all give him 5. Love it! and him!

Sorry if it's a dissappointment for nelson but the do-rag was because he's into pirates right now! He closes one eye and makes a hook with his pointy finger and says, "AAARRRR!" Thank goodness it's almost Halloween- maybe he'll get it out of his system!

Yeah, I was wondering if "Uncle Nelson" GAVE him that "do-rag" (though isn't it dew-rag, like sweat = wet = dew?)... either way, very cute. And he did pretty well to stay in the lines. It's about as good as I get.

Your boys are cute... love the scripture reading. Moroni says "moooo!"

Dena your boys are adorable! I can't believe you have 2 already. It seems like just the other day you were getting ready to go on a date with Jorge to some wedding and you were modeling your dress for me!
