The Steeds and Nelsons came to Austin for Weston's baptism. We took them down to the Capitol building with Brent's sister and her kids.
And Jamie figured out how to post Instagram pics on Blogger. Yeah!

Taking after Pop

Uh dad, have you been talking to Weston lately? This is the conversation on the walk the other day.
Weston "boom boom, I'm firing my musket."
Andrew "pew pew pew"
Weston "You don't have a musket that's not a Revolutionary War weapon"
 

You will be a missionary now

Cute little missionary boy. I don't know if this is a testimony or a horoscope.
 

Ender's Game

Weston played coach pitch (the Bulls) and Andrew played T-ball (the Giants) at CPYL for the Fall season. Turns out Andrew was only in it for the Gatorade and snacks but it was still pretty cute.  These pictures are from the Giants championship game.

Ender's team took first. They were pretty excited!

Two-Face

Andrew loves making faces. These are the half faces he was showing me:
1/2 happy, 1/2 angry
 :
1/2 sad, 1/2 worried

1/2 mad, 1/2 sneaky

1/2curious 1/2 happy

1/2 worried, 1/2 excited

1/2 thinking, 1/2 sad

 

A Change of Plans

Emma wrote this poem for her teacher for Halloween (just cause). Can you tell she's been reading a lot of Shel Silverstein? She takes after her dad and grandpa; both clever, funny, talented writers.

a change of plans…

by Emma  Steed

With all these busy plans,

and since I’ll get cramps in my hands,

and really, it’s getting old and bland,

so can’t we change the HOMEWORK plans?

(Oh,yes.that would be very grand!)

My mind is much too tired to work,

and I really don’t mean to shirk,

(no,I don’t care if you call me a jerk),

but PPLLLEEEAAASSE,

can’t we just change the plans of HOMEWORK?

Yes ,I DO care about college,

my appetite just wants halloween spirit,not knowledge.

Don’t you see?

HOMEWORK is a FALLEDGE!

(don’t judge me! what else rhymes with college?)

since i don’t want to blow up my head,

(and i promise that if i get my way i’ll make your bed,)

so unless my name is Fred, I think you’d like

not homework but…

a piece of halloween  CANDY!?!?!?!?!?!?
