Two and A Half

Paul had his half birthday last week! It was extra fun because Chris had some time off work.

We went to a model train store and Paul spent the entire hour mesmerized by the model trains.

He followed the trains all along the track and provided a little commentary with his non-stop jabbering of "wow" "look at it go" and "here it comes!"

Katiebug, as always, was happy to go along for the ride. She's a good sport.

One of Paul's other favorite places to go is a huge indoor play structure. Can you spot Paul in the picture below?

(hint: he is climbing up to the top...top right that is)

We took Paul to a studio for his 2 and half year old pictures and while I don't have any digital copies of the portraits they took, I did make sure to snap some of my own pictures when we got home. Here are my favorites. I can't get over how much he looks like his dad both in his features and in the way he carries himself. I love it.

In an effort to indoctrinate the kids while they are young, we all dressed up for BYU and the Mountain West Conference finals.

After taking several pictures like the one above, Kate somehow figured out that you are supposed to smile for the camera and this is the face she's come up with :)

And of course whenever Kate get's her picture taken, Paul decides he wants his taken too.

Paul has been successfully trained to chant "Go BYU Go BYU" whenever he sees either the BYU logo or just any old Basketball game. We hope it is indicative of things to come.
