Mommie, take our picture!

This has definitely become one of Reed's favorite sayings recently. Grabbing Nekoh by the neck, stopping whatever the two of them were doing at the time and shouting "Mommie, take our picture!"

The boys also had their bi-annual dentist appointment today and came away with a good bill of health and clean teeth! Reed was able to let the lady do a few x-rays on him and as much as Nolan tried, he couldn't stop gagging. Oh well, maybe next time, Nolan!

Happy lovey, dovey day!

The boys were excited to go to school today on Valentine's day to share their special treats and cards. Reed kept telling Nolan, "whoa Nolan, that's a cool shirt!" Whereas Nolan kept looking at himself in the mirror admiring his rockin' put-together outfit. Uh, oh. Looks like we have a Rico Suave on our hands! The funny thing is that I'm pretty sure this is an old shirt that Ryan Goodloe wore 8 years ago! Vintage to a 4-year-old, right?

Sheeee is the Champion, my friends

Yay, Dawn! After a few years of being nominated, the teachers at Roswell North FINALLY got it right and nominated and elected Dawn as the Teacher of the Year. She is so incredibly deserving of this honor as she stays at work late each night and gives 110% to each of her students. We couldn't be prouder of her!

We all got to go to the school and surprise her with balloons, flowers, and tons of loving family and friends. She was so excited!

Industrial Arts?

Ha, I loved that our "woodshop" class in high school was called Industrial Arts...too bad the boys probably won't have that class when they get older as it'll be changed to some other math-type-no-physical-activity class. Oh well, at least they have Home Depot to hammer, nail, and paint trinkets that they forget about a day later!

Shoe Crisis Averted

When: 6:52am, Tuesday morning getting ready for school/work
Nolan enters the room, sniffling.
Nolan: Mommie, (in a whiny voice) Reed ALWAYS gets the brown shoes with the two straps, and I want to wear them today.
Mommie: Nolan, there's a blue pair downstairs in the garage near the dogfood.
Nolan: But I don't WANT the blue ones! (Still cry-whining)
Enter Reed.
Reed: Hey, Nolan. How about you wear the brown shoes I have on and I can wear the blue ones?
Nolan lights up and suddenly the tears evaporate.
Nolan: Yea, Reed. The blue ones, you go downstairs, go in the garage, open the door, they're in the garage, you go out the door, and they're in the garage and they are by the dogfood and they're in the garage. Go get them!
Equals: 2 happy boys before the sun comes up, and happy Mommie and Daddie.

Super Fun Bowl

We decided to have an impromptu sort of super bowl party this weekend and had a few friends over to celebrate. One thing we did not fall short of was food!

Here's a few folks chillin' after a long day of playing all the sports possible in the yard. Pete! I see you back there, snackin' on the taco cups!!

While the game was on, Reed, Nolan, Charlie, Trevor and Evan had a bit of a picnic on the floor. These boys had so much fun and wore each other out! Good times!

It's so hard being handsome
