Fun with Shaving Cream

Both Brent and D had a ton of fun with daddy's shaving cream. Brent isn't in the pictures because this was actually the second time that day that he had gotten into it! So he got into a little more trouble and sent to the corner. I think its interesting to see the things they have so much fun with.

Brent is 3!

Brents Aunt Jennifer's birthday is just the day before his, so we celebrated them on the same day this year! Brent kept trying to blow out his candles before it was time and then he got to help Jennifer blow hers out!!

Carving our Pumpkin!

Well, we finally got around to carving a pumpkin for Halloween!! Yay! It was fun. Derrick had fun helping daddy scoop out all the pumpkin guts, but Brent wouldn't touch it. Even after a little pushing, he wouldn't budge. They were "yucky"! :) He did help daddy pick out a face for the pumpkin. It was a smiley face, so the rest of the night and since, he calls it the happy pumpkin. Kids are cute huh?

Happy Birthday Daddy!!

Where would our family be without this wonderful man that we call husband, daddy and friend. We are so blessed to have him in our lives and are eternally grateful for him. He brightens our days and makes us feel safe during the night. Thank you for all you do Josh. Your family loves and appreciates you. Happy Birthday! We are so glad you was borned ;)



We had a VERY last minute get together for Josh just before his birthday. We celebrated that weekend, but his birthday was actually on a Monday and his Monday's are just super crazy. We had to have cake and ice cream. And we HAD to sing to him! Growing up it didn't matter how old you were. You had a cake and everyone sang happy birthday to you. And so it continues! :)

Num Num!! D loves him some cake!!

A visit from Grandma!!

Its always fun when grandma comes!! The boys wanted to have blankets tied around them, Not sure why but hey, they had fun!

Brent crawled up onto grandmas lap and there he stayed just snuggling with grandma for like 20 minutes!! Anyone who knows him knows that this is unusual. The kid is not much of a snuggler unless he is sick. This time he wasn't even sick! Lucky grandma!

Babies in a window and permanent marker!

The boys were looking out the window at all the cars on our street. It was really cute. When I came into the room and asked what they were doing Brent said they were looking at all the "mmmm race" s out there. That is his way of saying race cars. mmmm=car and race=race :) I thought it was a really cute picture though, with them just lookin out the window like that. All you can see are legs and diapers!

The other day Derrick got a hold of a permanent marker and decided to color on his face!!! He kind of reminded us of a kitten or something with whiskers :)

Fun in the Rain!!!

Brent always likes to go outside! He is an outdoor lover! But during the summer it gets so hot that its hard to go outside, however we love it when it rains and always go out and play in it! The boys have soooo much fun playing in the rain!

Splashing in the muddy puddles, since we still don't have grass. lol

Bubble bath fun!!

The babies had tons of fun with the bubbles! Brent kept putting them on D and laughing hysterically. I don't know why he thought that was soooo funny :) He also kept trying to eat them for some reason, and would end up coughing. Silly boy.

I honestly don't remember what this face was all about. haha.

Fun in the mud with Grandpa!

While we were visiting Grandpa and Granny, Brent and D wanted to go outside. It was warm out so I was going to just have them stay in, but Grandpa volunteered to take them out back and play with them. The following pictures are evidence of what happens when grandpas watch boys :) They had LOTS of fun. Brent was all about the mud, which surprised me because usually he really likes to be clean. D on the other hand wasn't a big fan of the mud. Although he did get his hands and feet in it.

4th of July!

The fourth of July was fun! We finally got to watch fireworks!! Up until this year our fourth of July's haven't really gone . . . according to plan. But this year made up for it :) We celebrated on the 3rd with the Crocketts and went swimming and ate yummy food! D went swimming for the first time. And then on the 4th we celebrated with the Turleys!! We ate more good food and then went and watched some awesome fireworks. We though we were relatively far from them, or at least a good distance so the babies wouldn't get scared, but when they started going off, we realized that they weren't where we thought they were going to be and instead of being a ways in front of us, they were right behind us! hahaha! The babies didn't get scared though so we just turned our seats around and enjoyed some of the best seats there :)

D really liked wearing the shades too :) He looks so cool!

It was really hard to get D to go in the water at first, but once he got used to it he really started to like it and then we couldn't get him out!

D really liked to put his hand under the slide and let the water fall on his hand.

Brent had this little blowup pool toy that was a hippo. He learned a lot in the water this year. Aunt Diane was really good with him, and his daddy helped him learn how to kick his feet so that he could move while he was holding onto the hippo.
