Dr. McCutie
Liam loves to pretend to be a doctor with my stethescope. He's very serious. Dr. McCutie at your service!! (don't mind the jammies--he chose them. I guess we need to work on McCutie's style.

Our Weekend
We had a fun Saturday Yesterday. Nana and Papa came in and we braved the crowds of Scheels--America's biggest sport's store! And the biggest Scheel's is now in little ole' Sparks, NV. It's not really just a sport's store, though. It's more like a mall with HUGE aquariums, figures of presidents, a big mountain with all sorts of game on it, homemade fudges and gelato, and a giant ferris wheel in the middle. So here are some pics from our Saturday.
First, Liam adored the fish. He kept telling them to be careful because he didn't want them to run into the rocks.
He also loved the little shooting gallery. We had to pull him away.
Of course he loved the play area in the kids' part. He found another little boy who he called his 'friend' and they jumped and jumped together up there.
I would highly recommend going to Scheel's. The Ferris Wheel is only $1 and there is lots of free entertainment, such as the aquarium, the animals on the mountain, the play place--plus there is free, unlimited samples of fudge.
On Friday night while at dinner with GG and Grandpa-Great, Liam learned a new skill. He's getting really good at it. It's truly with no hands or aid.
Izzy got a rockin' new tunnel and Liam LOVES it. It even has a ball pit. Nana had to get in on the fun!
Nana and I made Izzy be an LSU cheerleader with a cool ponytail that Heather hated. I still maintain it's cute. :)
How cute is this little sweetie pie? She is a speed demon with her crawling these days. She is very serious about her crawling. It's hilarious.
Izzy and Liam had lots of fun in her tunnel together.
She started attacking Liam with the balls and he thought she was the funniest thing ever.
Silly kids
This is Wes's new favorite photo. At first I couldn't figure out what was so funny. I originally thought Izzy looked hilarious, until I realized the pose Liam's in. Boys, I tell you--they even do these things without realizing...

The Punkin Catch
Liam finally made it to the "Punkin Catch." And loved it! We had such an awesome time this weekend with the Finaly Family. We are all exhausted but we had a blast. ****WARNING**** Picture overload. There are just far too many cute moments to post. Erica and I are the OFFICIAL mamarazzi.
This is the kids watching "Dora" before we even hit the freeway. I'm so glad that the Finlays have a Suburban for us all to fit and ride together. No one can add anymore kids though--we were full!
We made it to the infamous Pumpkin Patch!
Liam was happy to get out of the car and run. I just thought this photo was sweet.
The kids checking out the fish in the pond while waiting for the daddies to get lunch.
Liam would have been perfectly content if the extent of the pumpkin patch had simply been this awesome tree house slide. I think they all would have played on it the entire day.
Ashlyn has to be the world's most peaceful baby. She slept the whole way there and the whole way home. She cried only very briefly and was suuuch a trooper through all our pumpkin picking madness and picture taking galore.
Liam adores Allison. He loves Ethan, too, but I think he thinks Allison is his big sister. He always wanted to hold her hand and when he couldn't see her he'd shout, "Where's Allison? ALLISON, WHERE ARE YOU?!"
I just had to throw this one in of Uncle Ben pushing the pink stroller. He's *such* a good sport.
VERY cute kids.
Liam attached to Alli again.
Liam's dreams for a "BIIIIIIG" pumpkin finally came true.
Pure Heaven.
All the adorable kidlets(I now know what you mean about Silly Ethan in pictures, Erica.)
WHOOOAHHH! Big pumpkin!
One of my new favorite family shots. I've ruined Liam when it comes to photos though. The minute the camera comes out now, he gives his very best CHEESE face.
I thought this was a cute one of Erica and Ashlyn.
They were all waving to the coming "Choo-Choo Train"
The boys picking out their "man" pumpkins.
Some cute ones with the sunflowers.
Silly Boy
My favorite thing to be: holding a sweet baby.
It didn't take Liam very much time to choose his pumpkin. It was sooo funny because as he was walking, he'd huff and puff and say, "BIG pumpkin is HEAVY."
That's one heavy pumpkin.
Just sweet with his lovingly chosen pumpkin.
Alli and Liam being the work horses pulling the pumpkins.
After all that work, we needed ice cream.
Liam loves his Uncle Ben.
The train was a definite highlight for Liam. He loved it.
Just funny.
Just under 3 feet tall! Erica takes her kids' photos here each fall to see how they grow. I thought we'd starts as well.
Yes, this is the back of the Suburban on the way home. The big one, yep, you guessed it, is ours. Wes assures me that he's carved one this big before. Jake's is big too but you can't see it as well.
Fast asleep in the car to the hum of "Dora."
Our adorable front porch!
Happy Harvest!

Some Liamisms
Liam LOVES music. I'm fairly certain I've mentioned that only about a hundred times before. The other night he was having a difficult time falling asleep. I was standing by the door in case he came out of his room again and I hear him softly singing to himself. As I listened closer, I realized he was singing one of his favorite songs, 'No One' by Alicia Keys... He's getting really good. We were dying of laughter that he was putting himself to sleep with an R&B song. I tried to get it on video but he wasn't singing loudly enough.
Another funny is how he sings "Row, Row, Row Your Boat." Here is his version:
Row, Row, Row Your Boat
Gently Down the Street.
Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily
Life is but a Treat.
I don't know how he came up with that, but I really like the "treat" part. :)
Now, here is his version of the song "Book of Mormon Stories"
Book of Mormon Stories That My Teacher Tells to Me.
Are a Boat, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily Life is but a Treat.
This is how it originally goes:
Book of Mormon stories that my teacher tells to me.
Are about the Lamanites in ancient History.
I really like Liam's versions. His baby-sitter Sammy says he should just skip the next year of nursery and head to the Sunbeam class in Primary. She also says he needs to join our ward choir. I'm not sure if we have a musician or a comedian on our hands. Maybe a little of both, just like his daddy.

Friends
Liam loves his friends, Allison and Ethan. This weekend they came over and they ran and ran and ran nonstop! Alli and Liam stopped for about a minute to snap this cute photo, but then they were up and running again. Liam begs to see them everyday. This week he continually asks to "go see Allison, Ethan and Baby Ashlyn and go to pukin catch(pumpkin patch) on Saturday?" As you can tell, he's a bit excited to go to the pumpkin patch with them on Satuday. I'm sure we'll have lots of fun pictures from that. I'm so glad we have good friends-- I think Liam is, too!
