Halloween AKA Our House is a Zoo

We borrowed some Halloween costumes from a friend today. Here's what our boys will probably be for Halloween:

A giraffe, a hippo, and a lion

I think Chris and I could just dress as zookeepers if we wanted :) 

June

Matthew wanted to hold Joseph one day, the same way he holds David.

This is the boys' friend Carter. It's hard to take a picture of a 3 year old, 2 2 year olds, and a 9 month old.

The boys filling up their pool

Matthew had a lot of fun with the cup in the pool.

June 14

David enjoying the nice weather

The boys' favorite place to read is on top of their toy box.

This is when Mom and Dad visited.

Joseph and Matthew got their faces painted at the Summer Reading Kick-off. They were supposed to be puppies.

I think this picture sums up how excited Matthew was at his party. 

He had a grumpy look for much of his party.

The underlined red part is Joseph's first attempt at writing his name yesterday. I wrote the other letters to show him how they went.

David

David at 7 1/2 months

Alisha at about 7 1/2 months

Alisha--sometime between 5 and 7 months

I took a picture of David today that reminded me a little of some pictures of me when I was little. I scanned the ones of me in so you can look at both of them.

Park Day

We went to the park one afternoon. It was still chilly but warm enough to be outside for a few minute. the boys loved it!

Matthew

I tried to get him to stick out his tongue because it was bright blue, but he would just roll it instead.

The boys and I ran errands last night. When we left Target, I let them each get a sucker. I didn't look at the flavor Matthew had chosen until we were already in the van. Matthew got blue raspberry. He's still a little blue this morning!

March Update

David's first solid food--He likes it more now!

Matthew's ready to shovel.

Allie and Brandon came to visit. The boys don't look like they enjoyed the visit, but they really did.

Matthew likes to push his sunglasses up on top of his head.

The Flu

Joseph's snowman

A brief moment of brotherly love

The stomach flu has hit our house. Joseph threw up this morning. He talked to Chris on the phone later and told him, "Daddy, I spit all over." I guess when you're 3, that's what it seems like you're doing. Now he's running a fever. Hopefully he'll be better in the morning.

New Ways of Sharing Pictures

I thought this would be a good way for everyone to see pictures of the boys as opposed to emailing them every time. Here's some recent ones:

David and Matthew

Matthew wanted to hold David and Joseph joined in. You can see Joseph's new "smile" for the camera.

David is smiling all the time now

One day David woke up from his nap while Matthew was still sleeping. Joseph was reading in his tent and wanted David to join him.
