Keeping Up With the Keyes (KUWTK)

We always enjoy when these two play nicely together

This is me doing one of my favorite things with Lyza. Lately reading books has been going a  lot more slowly because Lyza always has lots of questions about what is going on

Here is our little girl with one of her rescued earth worms

Here is Lyza wearing the new dress that her Mom and Grandma made her

Lyza gave this scripture in Primary and did a great job

Lyza also gave a talk in primary recently and did an amazing job!

What a handsome little man!

One adorable thing that Mr. Nixon has been doing recently is covering his mouth with both hands when he laughs

Sometimes these kids wait until just before bed time to play nicely and calmly. I think they do that to really test us and our commitment to consistent bed times

On Labor (or Labour) Day I had an unexpected project building a little bench for our garage for a place for the kids to put on and take off there shoes for the winter season when it gets wet and snowy. With the help of my beautiful foreman/forewoman and a design on Pinterest, this is what we came up with

That same day Kim cleaned out some cupboards with kids activities and found these sticker pages. She gave them to Lyza and she happily played with them for about three hours. I guess it is true that absence makes the heart grow fonder

We are having a bit of a tough stage here at home because Nixon can open all of our doors. He got into some of Kim's lipstick and drew all over our carpet in the family room. Luckily we got most of it out. Our solution of child proofing the door knobs isn't perfect because that keeps Lyza from being able to open the doors. So when she needs to go potty or wants to play in her room she needs help opening the door. Hopefully something changes here soon because it is getting a little bit ridiculous.

Cookies taste the best when these two help

We had a couple of my coworkers and their kids over for a beach day. Here is Nixon pulling one of the kids around in his wagon

Two things Nixon does when he is playing is somersaults and pretending he is a puppy. This video shows some of both

This is his newest trick on the swing set

Nixon also loves getting thrown into the air

Nixon also loves this game with his mama

That's all for now. Take Care.
