Having fun

The boys and I have been enjoying the weather and being outside.  Here are a few pictures from the past couple of weeks.




Ian's passport came in...I guess we will take him with us this summer!  Alaska bound:0)


A little tball




Playing in the rain water after the "big" storm that hit DFW a few weeks back with all the tornados.



Easter Sunday...this picture was from my phone.  I hope the few on my camera came out a little better that this.



Cowboy roundup at school.  His teacher said they made Connor the "Class Sheriff".


 Just another day in the carseats.  Two happy BROTHERS!
Have a great week!

Lately

This has been one crazy winter (?). Can we even call it winter? Anyways...we have none the less been sickly at our house. Both boys got strep and pink eye, Ian has had 4 ear infections in about 6 weeks (guess what his future holds...tubes) and Connor was struck with asthma and last but not least Ian got pink eye today again.




At the dr.s office




Just hanging around




Not feeling well




My sweet church buddy




Pink eye and Strep with 1 ear infection

Cheese! I feel better....but I got pink eye today.

What a month. Let's hope that we get all these allergies under control and fAST!!!!

18 mos old

WOW!  Here is another milestone we hit.  18 months old.  I wish I could make time stand still.  The boys seem to be growing up way to fast.  Ian went to his check up last week and everything looked great.
Stats:
32 1/2 inches long  60%
23 pounds               20%
head                        50%

The dr. is not to concerned with his weight due to the fact that he eats all the time.  She said  since he is on the go so much and never slows down he needs all the calories he can get.  With that said, he will eat just about anything for me.  I still feed him 4 oz. of milk with baby cereal in the morning along with whatever Connor is having.  He is drinking about 20 oz of milk a day and loves when he gets a special treat...diluted juice.

Ian still loves to climb and often James and I are heard saying, "sit down", "don't climb in that chair", and my favorite, "get off of [insert just about anything]".  His language is expanding daily and has began trying to repeat what we say.  He asks for Con-Con all the time.  His face lights up when Connor gets home from school. 




Playing with brother in the tent.


We couldn't find Ian the other morning and he was laying between the ottomans listening to Phineas and Ferb on the IPAD.  Yes, he turned it on all by himself.  As you can see he was proud of himself!


Silly monkey:0)

Showing off his balancing skills.  The boy loves being outside.



Waiting to get brother and friend from school. 
Another funny place we tend to find Ian...in laundry baskets.  If the basket is full we usually find all the dirty clothes on the floor.

We love you sweet Ian!

Legoland

Today the new carpet is being installed so Grandma, me, and the boys had to get out of our house. We decided to take the kids to Legoland. What fun!


Waiting our turn to go in.


Ian got stuck up in the play area.


Having a little fun on the slide.


Lego Puppy and Ian.


Waiting to race his Lego car that he made all by himself. He won 1 out of 4 races. :0)

Day off

Monday Connor had the day off from school and our Moms PTA group went to the Dallas Natural Museum. I have to say both kids had a great time. The museum was very kid friendly. We will be going back with an extra set of adult hands:0)


Walking in the spiderwebs. ( I hope that No Doubt song is in your head now)


Connor is milking the cow. Actual water came out if you squeezed correctly. The kids thought that was cool.


Ian riding the horse at the "farm" center.


Check this handsome firefighter out. He melts my heart.


Digging for Dino bones or getting dirty I don't know which? :0) We had a great time making Memories with friends. Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

A few of my favorite things

I would like to say that I took millions of photos this Christmas season and have them all stashed away for photo books to come, but I don't. I totally forgot my camera at every party and when we made the trek to Denver City for the big day! UGH is all I can say for myself...Thankfully my sisters-in-laws got some great shots for those photo books that I hope to do "one of these days", but for the purpose of this blog, YOU get family portraits! I love them. They turned out so great I am in love with these three boys in my life. Thank you Christine Harvey for making memories I can have forever!

Before we got out of the car, each one of them got the "this is important to me" talk. Two of the three cooperated. We take what we can get from Ian. We have since then figured out how to get him to smile on command...BRIBERY!!!

We had a wonderful Christmas/December teaching the boys about Christ and the reason we BELIEVE! Merry Late Christmas and a Happy NEW YEAR!
