September

Just when you think your son can't get any cuter, you end up with photos like these:



We are entering the wild world of solid foods, and the results are a little hit and miss (more on that later):


Shayne has been having a ton-o-fun performing in "Forever Plaid"




Shayne volunteered Heather to make some of the props used in the show, and she ended up taking on the role of 'props mistress.' They even listed her as the props person in the show's program. Here is one of the record covers that Smudge uses during his monologue:


Heather's mom helped us with the huge project of making these arm bands for the Calypso number...



...and here's the finished product. Heather got my fruit hat from the person who threw Emily Seamons' baby shower:


This is an in-progress shot of making the gold records...

...and what they look like on stage:


In addition to Forever Plaid, Eclipse had a few shows in September. This is us after a concert at the Spanish Fork Arts Festival. October's shirt says, "I'm with the band." His face, on the other hand, says, "It's way past my bedtime."

The day after the concert in Spanish Fork, we did a fireside at the Assembly Hall on Temple Square, which was pretty darn cool:



Here's Toby with a couple of other kids from our ward:



And here he is watching a Bears game with his dad:



And, finally, a video of Toby frolicking with his dad's hat:

He is just so stinkin' cute. Good to talk to you guys today. I'm really sad I haven't made it to see the Play. So jealous that you get to be in a play and I don't. When I spoke to Keith after I talked to you guys, he asked me to let you know that the Violence has calmed down alot at least near their base. Hopefully it will stay that way until they are both home safe with us again:) So insane that they actually met! Small World!

Thank you so much for inviting us up for "Forever Plaid." It was awesome. Although I am still laughing that we all ditched Temple night....I didn't know you were so crafty with the props. You did an amazing job.
Toby is getting so big. He is SOOO adorable.

Lois said...

I can't believe how stinkin cute your little boy is. Should have known he would have personality plus with you two as parents.
Keep up the hard work!

I didn't know that you were so crafty with the props either - looks like fun! If we get a chance before we move, we would love to come see Shayne's play, it looks pretty funny!

Chelsea said...

He is so cute. Those brown eyes are to die for! Love the plaid pics too. The props are awesome! Wish I could have seen it live. I've heard it ROCKS!
