Leavitt, the boy, Leavitt-tito

My favorite thing about Leavitt is that he is fun-loving and high on life. Anything fun Leavitt is about. He has a great sense of humor and an ability to even laugh at himself. He is the most determined 4 year old I have ever met. He finds a way to reach whatever he has decided to obtain. He uses the wall to climb up and reach the shelves in the bathroom (pictured above), he climbs my door jambs to reach the keys that sit at the top, and he hops our wood fence in the backyard to get to the neighbors yard.

I once heard him yell to his neighbor friend on the other side of the fence, "Caden, help me break down this fence". It was cute to me that he thought he could break down the fence, that is until I realized he had made up his mind and really was going to break down our fence! Days went by and frequently I had caught him sneaking butterknives outside to assist him in his project. We now have a couple broken slats in our back fence!

Leavitt is our little traditional archer. He would spend his whole day flipping sticks if we would let him. He has even participated in an archery tournament. He recieved 1st place award for his age group. Leavitt is a lot like his Grandpa Ron, anything he decides to try his hand at he is quickly on his way to being the best there is. I'm sure in the next few years we will find out how true this is about Leavitt when he starts putting his own dad to shame with his mad bow skills!

JoJo, JoJo-Bean, the Bean, Jozetters

Jozette is not your ordinary little girl. Yes, she loves pink and princesses and all the girly stuff you can imagine. She has her dad wrapped around her little finger and she is incredible when it comes to pouting. As you see here she has perfected the "puss-in-boots" look, which could pretty much land her whatever she wants.

But just when you think Jozette is like every other little girl you know, she suprises you. Just like she suprised me when I googled images of kids in halloween costumes and asked her what she wanted to be. I was sure she would pick Tinkerbell or a princess. I was so suprised when she repeatedly insisted on being "the scary guy" (as you see in the picture above). Yes, that is my little JoJo last Halloween.

Tredster, Tredawhovious, Tredalini, The Who, Treddy

Some people like their babies clean all the time, not me. If it was socially acceptable I would have Tred look like this all the time. There is nothing sweeter to me than a baby that looks like he has been hard at work being a baby.

Tred is a cuddler. He loves giving kisses and hugs. A few of his other favorite things to do is bite and pull hair. There have been times Jozette has fallen asleep in her carseat and when I look back he will have ripped out two handfuls of her hair. Ouch! JoJo loves to be the older sister and she is good at it. I noticed today when I started singing patty-cake patty-cake to him he leaned over in search of Jozette.
