Funny

My boys make me laugh...every day....all day.
They say the craziest things!

See for yourself.

Trevor (almost 3):
-I'm just pretending I'm a stinky girl.
-(said aggressively) I will kiss your face!
-(said to Isaac...every night) Goodnight, Poopy-head.
-You got gum in that purse?

Isaac (4 and 1/2)
-Who would win...a shark or a whale?
-I'm a doggie-koala and I eat alligators. (Huh???)
-I already know I'm gonna marry Regan.
-I'm not very smart...I don't know everything.

Random, but so adorable! :)

Precious Moments

We are LOVING having my parents back home.
My boys absolutely adore them both!

Here are some of the fun things we've been doing:

Movie night
(We showed them Toy Story 3...one of our favorites.)

The zoo
(also with Corinne & boys and little Eva)

Trevor and Grammy

Trevor and Papa

Grammy and Papa with the munchkins

Lunch at Chick-fil-a
(The kids were very nervous around the cow.)


Grammy protecting Trev from that super scary cow :)

And yes...
we are pretty much in denial about them leaving again.

My Little Author

Isaac has the most creative little mind. He is always telling me vivid stories about animals, dinosaurs, insects, and/or superheros. So I got him some writing paper and told him that he should start writing his stories down. I told him to think of his story, draw the pictures, and then I would serve as his scribe. :)

Here are two of his most recent creations.

(If you want to be able to see them better, just click on the picture.)

I love his drawings.
And I LOVE his imagination.

The teacher inside of me is bursting with pride! :)

Love Party

Here's a flashback to Valentine's Day. (I'm a little behind!)

We surprised Daddy with a "Love Party,"
complete with cards, cake, and...

Pei Wei!

I didn't have to cook and Derek got his favorite food.
That's what I call a "win-win!"

The boys tried out chopsticks & really got the hang of it.

Later, we had a surprise visit from Grammy and Papa.

Then we did our traditional Valentine's Day "ring-and-run."
It was such a fun night for our little family.

I'm so lucky to have these boys...
All 3 of them! :)

Always Good for a Laugh

Our family was hit by a nasty flu this weekend
and it has been absolutely miserable.
At least I always have these two silly boys to cheer me up!

(Those are a couple of faces that only a mother could love!)

Family Reunion!

My mom and dad are finally home!
Our whole family was together for this special occasion
and it was a night we will never forget.

Here we are...anxiously awaiting their arrival.
(All 32 of us!)

My boys were CRAZY excited!

Here are the shirts I made for my boys.
(It says "I love you" in English, French, Swahili, and Kirundi.)

My little family with our posters.
(The boys spent hours working on them.)

Here is the first glimpse of Grammy and Papa!
SO EXCITING!

Isaac hugging Grammy

Lots and LOTS of hugs!

Isaac and Trevor with their Papa

We went back to Mom and Dad's house for dinner.
It was so good to be together again!

What lucky little grandkids.

We love you, Grammy and Papa.
We are so glad to have you back! :)

Coyotes

We were invited by our friends, Dave and Amy, to the Coyotes game this week. It was a super fun night...we got to see a great game (even though they lost), eat yummy treats, and enjoy lots of laughs with our awesome friends!

my handsome date and me

the view from our box seats
(fancy, huh?) :)

Derek and Dave...getting a little too close...yikes!

the whole gang

We always have the best time together.
(Now we just need to talk them into moving to the east side!)

Thanks, Dave and Amy. We love ya'!
