DSCF0032_003You've all heard about the soother steal...thought you'd like to see it.
Date: 03/12/2006
DSCF0033_001Sorry Noah! We're trying to teach them...
Date: 03/12/2006
DSCF0034_002The boys love their soft puppy.
Date: 03/12/2006
DSCF0044_002Drew has been very photogenic lately. He thinks he's cool because he's standing up at everything, so now he wants his picture taken.
Date: 03/12/2006
DSCF0052Bran and Finnegan
(We were having a going away dinner for Finn at Nathan's house.)

DSCF0053_005Can you find that beautiful smile under the soother?

Date: 03/13/2006
DSCF0001_002One of Bran's new favorite spots to play is under the exersaucer. He doesn't get all the way in, but it's close.
Date: 03/15/2006
DSCF0005_001Okay, this one was just silly.
Date: 03/15/2006
DSCF0009_002For reasons strange to us all, Brandon enjoys sucking on his soother upside down (when it's upside down, not him).
Date: 03/15/2006
DSCF00161Sometimes he's just a riot! Now that he's got all those teeth, he likes to bite on things. I think he's trying to see how long he can keep it in his mouth. (It's actually not very long, but we're not telling him that!)
Date: 03/16/2006
DSCF0019_003Drew has recently started to pull himself up to things. One morning I looked over and he was standing on the back of this toy. Unfortunately he was so excited to see me taking the picture that he leaned back to far and fell over. : ) He wasn't quite rea
Date: 03/16/2006
DSCF0023_001Bran has a new face he likes to make. It's a cross between a fish face and blowing. It's adorable and makes us laugh every time. It's hard to tell how cute it is here.
Date: 03/17/2006
DSCF0028_001Bran and mommy at the onset of the flu.

Date: 03/20/2006
DSCF00391It's the after nap look.
Date: 03/20/2006

Date: 03/20/2006
DSCF0051_003A kid's eye view of the coffee table. Drew got tired of standing up. : )

DSCF0053_006Andrew
Date: 03/20/2006
DSCF0057_001Drew got the flu first and started to get better before the rest of us. Mommy and Bran are on the couch, so he's staying close by. Daddy's taking a turn with the camera.

DSCF0060_002He's so sweet. Now say it in a baby voice...
Date: 03/20/2006
DSCF0087Mike is putting together a toy car that Gramma Bowling got the boys for their 1st Birthday. (Both birthday and Easter came early this year with the arrival of the grandmas in the spring. Sadly they won't be here for the big day.)
Date: 03/25/2006
DSCF0092Why are there so many pieces for a little plastic car? And what do they all do?!
Date: 03/25/2006
DSCF0095Brandon showing off the finished product. (You'll see more of this in coming pictures.)
Date: 03/25/2006
DSCF0110_001Andrew has a love for laundry baskets. If only I could teach him to fold the clothes, rather than take them out and throw them around. Look how well he stands!
Date: 03/25/2006
DSCF0112_002Sometimes he falls down. It's much harder when the basket is empty.
Date: 03/25/2006
DSCF0001_003The next several pics are the boys opening Easter and Birthday presents from Gramma Bowling. "Ooooo tissue paper!"
Date: 03/25/2006
DSCF0003All Drew really needs to make him happy is some tissue paper. A bag is nice too.
Date: 03/25/2006
DSCF0004_003"There's something fuzzy in here..."
Date: 03/25/2006
DSCF0002_002"I'm not sure I want to open mine."
Date: 03/25/2006
DSCF0012_003"Mommy just put the fuzzy thing on my head."
Date: 03/25/2006
DSCF0014_001"I don't want the fuzzy thing on my head!"
Date: 03/25/2006
DSCF0022_005"I did get these really cool sunglasses to chew on. Apparently First Years does not mean it will fit in the first year!

DSCF0051_004If you look closely you can catch a glimpse of a little boy amongst the tissue paper.
Date: 03/25/2006
DSCF0055_004"I love tissue paper, wa ha ha!"
Date: 03/25/2006
DSCF0063_001Now that Bran has learned to sit, he sometimes will stay that way for long periods of time.
Date: 03/25/2006
DSCF0064Drew, seriously contemplating which tissue paper to go after next.
Date: 03/25/2006
DSCF0066_001Bran is now up and looking at his own tissue paper.

DSCF02061This one is just plain cute!
Date: 03/26/2006
DSCF0023_002After a long day of pictures it was amazing that any of them could sit still for this picture.
Date: 03/26/2006
DSCF00031Noah's 5 1/2 year picture. Isn't he cute?!
Date: 03/26/2006
DSCF00051What a beautiful dog!
Date: 03/26/2006
DSCF0001_004We used to pose the boys this way for cute pictures. Now it's an everyday occurance!
Date: 04/04/2006
DSCF0002_003It's not really wrestling, it's more like climbing over an obstacle.
Date: 04/04/2006
DSCF00131Here's our new fancy schmancy stroller! We call it the "Cadillac of all strollers". Thanks Holly and Jeffery!
Date: 04/04/2006
DSCF0018_004A close-up. Notice how much taller Brandon is than Andrew...
Date: 04/04/2006
DSCF0019_004The boys went to the park for the first time on April 4. They loved the swings!
Date: 04/04/2006
DSCF0024_002I think we're going to have to go to this park often. It was a big hit!
Date: 04/04/2006
DSCF0010_002Ummm, let's see...I think I'll need the extra large fry pan, what do you think mom?
Date: 04/07/2006

Date: 04/12/2006
DSCF0067_002Guess who's made the dog's crate his new playhouse?
Date: 04/12/2006
DSCF00691Bran's trying to convince Drew to join him. We've had to stop this little fun, so Noah could have his house back. It got to the point where whenever the boys would try to get into the crate, Noah would leave. Poor Puppy.
Date: 04/12/2006
DSCF00731Bran on his car. This is one of my favorites.
Date: 04/13/2006
DSCF0076_001Drew and Bran enjoying the sun.
Date: 04/13/2006
DSCF0090Drew in his Easter clothes. We have some really cute suits from Grandma S. but they were too big to wear for Easter. Look for pics of them soon.
Date: 04/16/2006
DSCF0091A glimpse into the future? Is this what Drew is going to look like in a few years?
Date: 04/16/2006
DSCF0105_001Drew wasn't real happy sharing the seat and the spotlight with Bran so he decided to ham it up.
Date: 04/16/2006
DSCF0106_001He's really going for it now!
Date: 04/16/2006
DSCF0113Still in shock from Drew's uncharacteristic display.

Date: 04/19/2006
DSCF0212"You just have to get right in and pull out whatever you want...and even stuff you don't. Mama really likes it when you do that."
Date: 04/19/2006
DSCF0218"Oooo you're brave Drew...I think you're gonna get in trouble..."
Date: 04/19/2006
DSCF0220"Apparently mama doesn't like it when we do that. She gave us something else to play with."
Date: 04/19/2006
DSCF0226Drew's attempt at acrobatics. Think we should sign him up for Cirque de Soleil?
Date: 04/19/2006
DSCF0229"Ummmm, mama...can you give me a hand?", says one sock boy.
Date: 04/19/2006
DSCF0004_004Playing in a sea of books...
Date: 04/20/2006
DSCF0005_002All the books used to be on this shelf...

DSCF00681It IS more interesting!
Date: 05/14/2006
DSCF00741I like the park!
Date: 05/14/2006
DSCF0080_001Playing in the Backyard.
Who needs a playground? The boys find their own things to play with.
Date: 05/16/2006
DSCF0084Including rocks and grass...
Date: 05/16/2006
DSCF0088_001And here are aome of the rocks.

Date: 05/16/2006
DSCF0092_001Drew doesn't seem to mind crawling across the stones and weeds. He's very intent on reaching the fence.
Date: 05/16/2006
DSCF00951The fence has been reached!
Date: 05/16/2006
DSCF0104Oooo...I found something else new. Let me just take this little piece back to mamma.
Date: 05/16/2006
DSCF0106_002This ball is funny. My puppy lets me play with it sometimes. That makes me very happy.
Date: 05/16/2006
