  • More Booty Shakin’ Fun

    I hope my boys never stop dancing. They are so much fun to watch.

  • Giraffey

    Ezra has become quiet attached to the little giraffe his Aunt Julie gave him for his first birthday. So much so that he wants Noah’s too. He will carry both around if I let him.

    He loves to suck on giraffey’s nose and does this or a combination of thumb sucking/giraffe sucking when he goes to sleep.

    He cuddles so much with giraffey that when Ez wakes up with a bloody nose . . .

    so does giraffey.

    I am happy to report that I successfully washed giraffey and he no longer has a bloody nose.

    Bad morning 🙁

    Playing with Paul

    Scooting with Annie.

    Move over Paul!

    Refusing to sleep on a long ride home.

    Noah refused too.

    He shouldn’t be able to do that, yea we tightened his straps up immediately!

  • Hot Wheels Time

    Remember all the way back in October of 2008 when Matt excitedly bought some hot wheels? He couldn’t wait to play with them with our kids. At the time we were still anxiously awaiting a referral and would wait 4 more months.

    Well almost 2 years later he finally broke out those hot wheels. The boys were super excited, but Ezra was beside himself with excitement. I wish we would have thought to get the camera out sooner. He just ran around screaming and squealing with delight.

    Here is a video after he calmed down:

    Noah was a teething, clingy boy so you just hear him start to whine at the end of the second video. Here is a pic of how he looked:

    Mad I wouldn’t let him hold the camera

    First swim of the summer.

    His man-bag.

    Cousins

    Cellphone and a drink, he’s ready to drive.

    My children are weird, it is HOT, why are blankets necessary?

    Momma’s shoes

    Climbing in the toy box

    That’s it he is cooking dinner from now on!

    Another helper, or someone who just wants to climb?

    Water fun.

    Noah figured out there are shelves in the cabinets

    Ez had to give it a try.

  • Raffle for Canvas on Demand

    Friends of ours are having a raffle for a $100 Canvas on Demand Gift Certificate. The raffle ends at noon Arizona time so head on over here to enter.

  • New Adventure

    I figured I didn’t have enough to do and needed a little more adventure in my life. 😉 It’s not a huge adventure and one I hope to find as a fun outlet.

    I am starting a new blog for all the homemaking things (seriously could not think of a better word) I like to do. I want to keep this current blog more of a family blog, keep track of the boys as they grow, all the family adventures we do, and more personal stuff (again lack of a better word*). Sometimes you might see the same post on both blogs (if you choose to read both), but most of the time it will be different. I will be posting more recipes and crazy things I try over there. Please come and join my Homemaking Adventures!

    I am using nicknames for the boys over there, but did decide to post pics. I went back and forth, but honestly I think pics often make the blog (plus seriously I have some cute boys!). I hope to keep some privacy for them and if some day they don’t want me to use their cute faces anymore I will stop.

    *(Hoping more blogging will somehow improve my vocabulary and writing skills)

  • Energy

    The boys energy level has definitely gone up the last few weeks. It seems they have more little boy energy. Here’s a little video of them after lunch and just before nap, having a good time.

  • Graduation

    Can you believe it? My babies graduated from the baby room at church. They are now in the toddler room. Which means they are starting to do crafts, sit at a table and have snack, and listen (hopefully) to a story. Here are some pics of their first crafts at church, crowns.


    Do you know how hard it is to get a picture of two toddlers wearing crowns on their heads? Anyway after I stopped taking pictures they started taking the foam stickers off and trying to eat them. Sigh, the crowns are now safely in the trash.

  • Kazoo time

    My boys love music, good thing I have apparently been blessed with a tolerance for hearing a lot of musical creations throughout the day. Here’s a video including kazoos, piano, and a little singing.

  • Garage Sale Finds

    On my way to work in the community garden this morning I saw someone setting up a garage sale. They had a little slide that I thought would be perfect for this summer (inside). But I passed because I was on my bike and on my way to work in the garden. 2.5 hours later it was still there, so I told the lady I would be back with the car. Best $10 I spent this summer. The boys love it. Now they have something to climb on besides the furniture! It will be so nice to have since it is already unbearable hot out after 10 am every day.

    Immediately had to try it out.

    Look at those happy faces! (ignore the messy house)

    Also scored an art easel for $3!
