Cute kids and family pics

Ok, so Happy Leap Day! :) Last night we got family pictures. It was quite a different experience from last year's picture day. Burke is mobile now and was telling everyone how he wanted to 'get down', or 'stand up', or 'I'm done'....basically the opposite of whatever the photographer wanted him to do. However in the end, we still got some winner pictures.



Showing us how he can 'bend and jump'.


Go Chargers! This was the last picture of the photo shoot, Sam has had it and is trying to smile through his tears, and Burke had a football prop, but threw it down cause he was done holding it and wanted to go home. Can't believe the photographer got him to smile. :)


What a living doll. Love his feet!


Samuel's famous smile. What a handsome little bugger.


Pig in a bucket.


Awwwww!


I'm done with this picture taking business. See you later aligator!


Our little cutie pie!


Sam just started doing this 2 days ago. Just in time for family pictures. :)


Double trouble!


Hey Burke, show us what a little kid having a fit looks like. Good boy, that is a very good impression! :)


The Grater Clan





Brothers!!! Oh alright...the cutest brothers in the world, there I said it. :)




It has been unseasonably warm this winter so we have been spending a lot of time outside. The boys love it, and I can't complain either. 56 degrees in February!! I'll take it.:)



What beautiful eyes Sammy has! And a formidable double chin. :)


Getting pretty good on his bike. I love how he sticks his tongue out when he is concentrating.


Playing ball with Simon.





Burke has a new game that he made up, he wants you to put him in his crib and cheer as he bounces and runs around and balances and falls. It is so adorable and nice for Mom, cause I get to sit in the big comfy rocker with Sam and relax and laugh.

This is Burke, asking to 'get in my crib and play around' face.


You can't see his legs, but he is very purposefully balancing against the side of his crib...on one leg...without the use of his arms. Ya, he is amazing! :) Grandma Madelyn taught him how to balance so now he wants to do it everywhere. He puts so much effort into it, I have to try not to laugh.


What a handsome man Stu is! So. Incredibly. Handsome. :) I love you Baby!
