Look at those muscles!

Today the boys were running around and Peter ran into the corner of the door.  He hit his forehead pretty hard, but nothing big.  I put an ice cube on his head.  My wraps were on the counter and he decided that he needed his head wrapped up.  So I used the wrap to hold [...]

Bloopers

I said ’say cheese burger, not cheese booger”

Peter had a good birthday.  He’s so easy to please.  We could have given him just the Buzz Lightyear and he would have been fine with that.  It’s good that we got him other things though so that Jimmy had something to play with.  Jimmy had a hard time with it being Peter’s day and [...]

This morning Peter came up to me mumbling something.  After I asked twice what he wanted he rolled his eyes and walked away.  Totally cracked me up!

Peter has truly become my big helper.  He’s figured out that he can do so many things and loves to try new things.  He loves to help me out.
Here’s pictures of him helping me wash a few clothes.

We’ve been potty training Peter over the last few months.  For the most part he’s done really well.  For the last few weeks, half of the time he would do awesome, but the other half of the time he would have 3 or 4 accidents in a day.
Last week he had two days in a [...]

These last few days have been really poopy….literally.  On Thursday I was doing the dishes and the boys were playing out front.  After a few minutes I hear Jimmy yell, “Mommy, Peter has poopy!” as I wash the soap off my hands Jimmy yells again, only more urgently this time.  When I get outside I [...]

Jimmy and I were in the back yard, me pulling weeds and cleaning up poop and Jimmy playing with the dog.  I thought Peter was inside watching Cars on my Mac.
After 15-20 minutes I went to check on him.  As I walk into the house Peter nervously comes around the corner saying, “it’s broken”.  Then [...]

I’ve been working on potty training Peter off and on for the last 6-8 months.  Last week I decided to get serious about it.
We ran out of diapers a few days ago and I decided that I wasn’t going to buy any more.  It’s a good thing too, because there was a few days this [...]

Last night when I told the boys it was time for bed Peter said that he wanted to wear his Buzz Lightyear pajamas.  I told him they were dirty.  Then in that voice you use as a parent to get your kids excited about something I said, “you can wear your bug pajamas…or…I know you [...]

I wish I could say that this week was uneventful like the last few weeks have been.  It started out that way, just the normal playing, reading books, preschool etc.  But in a mater of seconds that changed on Wednesday.
Peter and I had just dropped off Jimmy at preschool.  I stuck Peter in the basket [...]

Today Peter got to pick the morning video.  Then we went to a bunch of little shops around town to get presents, cake etc.  After dinner we had a few friends come over to help us do presents and cake.  It was a pretty mellow, but fun day.

Peter’s “Vogue” look

“Don’t mess with the bear”

These next three pictures are almost the same but each very cute, I couldn’t leave any out.  The boys expresions are so fun right now!

My cute little weeds…I mean boys are GROWING…again.
Jimmy
32.8 pounds
38 inches
Peter
30.2 pounds
33.5 inches
Peter has grown a full inch in the last two months!

Of course Jimmy needed a picture too.  It’s actually how I got him dressed for church this morning.  He would not take his PJs off and when he said “my turn” I told him he couldn’t have a turn unless we changed his clothes.

In the last little bit Peter has grown 1/2 an inch or more. A few weeks ago Peter couldn’t open doors or our gate to go out to the street.
But now I’m constantly finding the bathroom door locked. He thinks it’s fun to open and close the bathroom door and play with the [...]

Kids are so funny with all the things they learn as they grow up.
When the boys are in “trouble” I say there first and middle name. Lately Peter will be doing something that Jimmy doesn’t want him to do and he’ll say “Peter Cy-us” (Mathias). It is so funny!!!
Peter has been learning the [...]

When I took Peter’s Teddy Bear pictures Jimmy was watching and when I was done he decided it was his turn. So there’s also a few pictures of Jimmy with his elephant.

In this picture I think he looks a lot like Aunt Jen (My Sister) when she was this age.

Look how big he is!!  He might as well be 10 years old!  Okay, so maybe he’s not that tall.

This morning James opened up a bottle of vitamins which of course had a huge piece of cotton at the top. A few minutes later Jimmy came into the room and decided that it was another bunny (we have a real bunny in the yard).
He and Peter took turns carrying that “bunny” around all [...]
