Bear Cubs


These two little boys love to hug, wrestle, and play together like two little cubs..I love it when they do that. It's so cute and sweet! And much better than duking it out...which happens too often around here.

Matty - 5 1/2 yrs.
Sammy - 2 1/2 yrs.

Late-Night Snacking

TRIX are for kids!!! Yes, this little guy is still awake! It's because I haven't taken the time to put him to bed due to the fact that I'm trying to figure this blogging thing out. Everyone else is asleep but us. So, he's having his 4th meal. He goes to bed later than the others anyway, because I keep him on this schedule so that I can get a 3 to 4 hour nap out of him in the afternoon while Matt is at school. It works for me! And then Scott is home with us in the evenings to help entertain. He's a Daddy's boy anyway.

Sammy - 2 1/2 yrs.


I had to get a shot of Greg shaving. He looks so manly shaving. How did this happen that I now have two boys that shave?!? I feel really old. But I'm still sitting in the cultural hall during church with a two year old!!! Crazy!
This is the money pit that Greg gets to drive. It's pretty cool looking (a 82 Chevy shortbed, with a 350 and sitting on 20's!) but it's a real gas hog and hasn't got a radio and the gas gage is broken! Oh and the license plate says 7 BROS. Scott and Mikey spent a lot of time fixing it up.





This little boy is in need of a haircut big time! It's just such a pain to take him to the barber, because he still has to sit on my lap, and I hate that. I'm waiting for Scott to get some time that he can take him.

Sammy - 2 1/2 yrs.
We took the boys to see National Treasure on Christmas Eve. I rarely get a shot of them all together. So I made them stop and stand still for a minute. So happy to have had Mikey home on leave from Camp Lejeune. We love him and miss him!!! Oh, and Sammy didn't last very long at the movie, so Scott left with him and went home and did some wrapping, and then he came back and got us. It was a fun way to eat up some time before the Christmas Eve tradition of opening a present before bed. These boys are a handful and drive me crazy most days, but I love 'em a lot!
