My sweet boys

Austin has always been a good big brother but it seems like in the last few months that he is really stepping up and playing the part of "big brother" well. He is always willing and usually volunteers to get the boys from school each day. They love to have Austie pick them up. Most days without Ty and Kyler even having to ask he offers to carry their backpacks home. Today as I was watching them walk home from the front window I was so touched by Austin's kindness to his brothers. I raced out and snapped a picture as they were coming into the yard. Of course Ty is too quick for me and he hid! :) ...little stinker... Austin always plays with his little brothers so well. The three of them can often be found in the backyard making huge dirty "boy" messes in the sandbox/mudbox. I don't seem to mind that they get dirty up to 5 times a day...cuz they always are out there having such a good time. Austin is always willing to help Kyler get lunch or a snack or a drink...he is Kyler's go-to man. Austin has been extremely patient in teaching Kyler to play the Wii games. Most kids just want to play and be left alone...but he is very encouraging to Kyler. :)
This is the "Here boys, take your bags and go in and get your snack" schpill he says when they are coming to the front door. {hmmm....looks like Kyler already got his!}
...little stinker again....he is too quick...he is laughing behind that backpack though...he thinks he is pretty clever!This must be the victory dance...yeah everyone got home safe! :)
Austin...you are a FANTASTIC big brother...You Rock!!!

This is what Kyler made the other day when he got home from school. He got his money container out and spelled his name...looks like about $4.30...so if you have that laying around then you can spell Kyler's name too! :) Also this sweet little thing got up and bore his testimony yesterday in sacrament meeting. Of course after he saw Austin get up there he needed to go to...another reason Austin is such an incredible brother...he is always an example to them. So Kyler proudly walked up when is was his turn and dragged the step stool over to the podium and he said "My name is Kyler Fullmer if you don't know me. I want to bear my testimony that Jesus is true. God is true. I know that Jesus made this earth for us." Great testimony huh!! :)

Kyler's testimony was my favorite Sudnay. What else needs to be said?

Also, I have to say that Austin is a good friend. He is always a polite guest (more than I can say for some of my kid's other friends) and acknowledges that I am the meanest mother in the world. I think that clinches my title, Tara.

They are so sweet! I loved Kyler's testimony! He didn't seem to be too nervous. He knew exactly what he wanted to say! I miss being his teacher!

Sweet! Tell Austie I am so proud of him. What cute and funny kids you have! Love you all!
