Dinner tonight at Sam's new restaurant: "Old Faithful Drum." Kids' meals come with a toy, and grown-up meals come with a new phone. 😊 And don't worry, they have "drink-a-milk" for babies! #samo
Totally amused by Archer's tummy time skills. He has rolled over front to back at least ten times!#tummytime #brotherlylove
All suited up for the nightly soccer game with Dad! They now have to tuck in their shirts to start the game, like the MLS players. And like the MLS players, they untuck them as soon as the game starts.#soccerboys #orangesockslove
Henry declared today to be the 2nd best day of the entire school year -- the day his teacher decided to shell out the 1997 encyclopedia set to the class. He got to keep the "H" volume and the Science Annual. FYI: the best day of the year is the last day of school. 😊 #justlikechristmas#encyclopediafan
Archer's first apple-picking on the first day of fall. We thank Yom Kippur and Grandma for making this possible. 🍁🍎🍏.
Grandpa Dave's special tummy hold: Archer-approved!#threeweeks #babyarcher
I've never met two people more obsessed with every little detail of newborn babies. #grandmaandgrandpa#newbornlove
The greedy face of monopoly.#woodmonopoly #catanwinner#henrysfirstwin #settlersofcatan
Dad brought me two Rubbermaids full of garden tomatoes, since I can't seem to grow them. No problem getting them through security!#precioustomatoes #cheesesandwich#bestlunchever
I predict a new 5:00 ritual. Not as fun as grandparents, but it may get us through to dinner! #onourown#witchinghour #swingtime
First General Conference was a success! He slept at all the right times...and made me cry extra during Elder Holland's talk. ❤️ #ldsconference#iamamormon #spirituallyfed
Translation: I am feeling left out right now because my mom and dad are paying more attention to the baby. "Mom can you get me a pencil please?" "No. No." #ellisrevealed #truefeelings
Kinda sorta thinking baths might be okay after all. And almost thinking about smiling. #babyarcher #mylove
First storytelling festival for Archer and for Evanston. Not as charming of a setting as the Timpanogos festival, but it was certainly a delightful evening of stories, songs, and laughs. We support this new tradition! (More festivities tomorrow too!)#evanstonstorytellingfestival #datenight#archerthethirdwheel
Today's perfect fall weather called for a second apple picking trip...this time to the place in Wisconsin that we really love. It's the real deal.#oriolespringsorchard #fallperfection
Ellis found a bum apple! 😜#lifewithboys
To be honest, the food offerings at nearby Harvest Time strongly influence our choice in "favorite apple picking spot." I really don't think anything tops these donuts! Add cheese, crackers, and apples, and it's the perfect lunch. #harvesttimeorchards#fallperfection
Two weeks to teach him how to say "hoo!" #halloweenpreview#archergriffin
Little Archie loves his dad! Dad gets the bedtime shift with him, usually around 10 to midnight. They have been enjoying lots of Steven Colbert together! #lovethemboth
Loves attention from his brothers, snuggles, and kicking.#archergriffin #twomonthsold #superfresh
Doesn't this look like a fun game to play (and clean up)?#samsfavorite #restaurant
Henry has figured out that Dad will cave on bedtime if he asks questions about probability. #equations#nerdyboys #boardgameinvention#gametheory
This was the look I got today as we got ready for preschool pickup.#notimpressed #fourthchild #sweetarcher
This boy is the most determined tooth-puller I've ever met. 6 days after losing top tooth number one, he twisted, wobbled, and yanked at the second one until it finally came out! Now he has an adorable first-grade smile just in time for Christmas.#alliwantforchristmas #twofrontteeth#ellissmile
Just another kitchen dance party night brought on by Dad's dishes music. #decemberistsandfun#heshallhavemusicwhereverhegoes#costumecreativity
Our family is 12 years old and counting! We had a fun night of celebration. Watched some baby movies of each boy, and I cried with every one. Sad to see the years go by because they have all had such precious memories!#iversonday #anniversary #myboys
These three were thrilled to pieces over Ben's "water on the head" game. I hate to see my babies grow up, but it sure is fun to have big kids old enough to play and laugh together! #iversonday#puredelight
Fourth boy. Fourth heart murmur. Fourth cardiology visit to tell us that it's an innocent murmur. ❤️#mysweetboy
At the doctor's office, we found a whole shelf full of Archie comic books that caught my eye. Has anyone read these? I get the impression that they're for a slightly older audience...#archie
My fourth and first graders! I'm so happy they have each other at school. They just recently started walking home on their own when I can't get there. #sogrownup #henryandellis#schoolpictures
Just a little mother-daughter comparison, for you people who think Ellis looks like Ben.#lookalikes
This one goes out to the people who think Ellis looks like Ben. Votes? #lookalikes #lastone
The light of my life! I love him so much that I wake up at 3:00am just to be with him. 😊 #archergriffin#threemonthsold #sleepinterrupter
Went downtown with@kelleysuelarsen to meet up with@turleysix for lunch! Kelley was good friends with Jenna in Denver before Jenna moved to Boston. And today we introduced Archer and Isabelle, who were born only one day apart!#bostonfriendsforever
