It's the little things...

Tyler learned how to breathe through his mouth and he is so cute breathing in and out really quick, just to show me that he can do it! it really makes me laugh.

Two down, sixteen to go!

Assuming that Cody moves out at 18...we have 16 years to go. We celebrated his 2nd birthday this weekend. Just a small family celebration with a couple fun presents.

Memories

It is fun for me to remember things I did as a child, and watch my kids experience them for the first time. We went to Meme and Coco's house on Halloween and raked leaves from their tall, tall trees and played in them. It was really fun. I remember raking leaves at Nana and Papa's house and sliding and playing in them when I was small.
I also remember trips to California Where my mom and dad said things like... this is the house I grew up in, or this is where I went to school and thinking it was weird that they wanted to show us that stuff. Now I find myself telling Cody the same things.

Pumpkins

Halloweeny

It is really fun to dress kids up...so mine have more than one costume!




Jason and Josh (aka Shirley and Eldon) won the costume contest.

Monkeys, monkeys everywhere...

Manny and Monique are having fun in CO, and are glad to have so many friends. Even Tyler has a mini monkey!

This one is for you, Uncle Andy!!!

On another note, today is Jason and I have been married for seven years. Today is our anniversary! I still remember all the details of the day just like it was yesterday. I can't believe it has been that long...and glad to have 2 sweet boys to share our celebrations with this year.

Monkeys come to visit

It was a busy weekend...we went to Meme's house on Friday,just for fun, which is unusual. We started at Starbucks
and spent the afternoon at the pool.
Then after a short nap it was back home to see the new fish tank! Jason traded in his two other tanks for a 120 gallon salt water tank. It is really nice! We are excited to have Manny and Monique at our house and they fit right in with my monkeys.


Thanks to Noah and Aunt Leah for potty training the monkeys and getting them some really cool big boy pants!
The weekend would not be complete with a little drama...Cookie gave me two weeks notice, because she got a job at a daycare...and Sunday was our first day at the new babysitters. It went well for a first day, but first days are always hard. Her name is Safiyah and she is really nice. I will let you know how it goes this week. Here is some cute pics of the boys before we left to her house.

Labor Day at the Park

We spent Labor Day playing! We had a blast with Daddy at the park...Here are some video and pictures from the fun day!

Who's who

Just a couple pics to show how much the boys really look alike!
