boys, boys, boys.....

oh sullivan you are too much! he brought me the camera and grunted a few times so I decided he was trying to tell me to take a few pictures.... ha!

sullivan going in for a smooch! Henry's hair was full of static he had been playing under a blanket! I'm not sure henry knew what to do with the incoming kiss! ha!

a close up of sullivan getting a million kisses from his momma....

now that the ottoman doesn't need to block the stairs the boys have decided they like to climb on it....to be honest they prefer standing on it... my job is to convince them to just enjoy sitting...not sure why they are watching a show with a two headed monster...

getting stuff done....

Patrick and his dad trimming the crepe myrtle... and the grasses in the yard... I checked in from the deck a few times and thought I'd take a picture....

I am looking forward to working in the yard once things warm up... I also can't wait for the grass to get green again... i could live in the yard... doing little projects... gotta love the fresh air!


Patrick's dad built us a new baby gate for the stairs going up... we couldn't find a gate that worked ... this stair case is an odd size, TOLL BROTHERS (our builder) also decided not to build it perfectly straight so every gate we bought and tried was just a little off... so Patrick's dad came to the rescue.. YEAH! It is the little things like this that allow me to breathe just a bit....

My Gym....a new found favorite!

Sullivan was convinced that the rings that held the swings and such were for him to hang from... he was too funny.

a swinging sullivan....

our little guy is getting so big...i can't believe it.

sullivan enjoying the ball pit with auntie erin...

henry thought it would be clever to eat the 10million germs that reside on each ball... i wanted to vom but let me say... he will live... but oh so icky...

he wouldn't give up trying to taste the balls...

here we go again... don't worry, we washed very well after... hopefully we will learn not to eat the balls....

sullivan and a big blue bouncy ball... he LOVED it!

henry enjoyed his teacher jeff.... it was so fun to see him playing!

climbing takes some concentration...

they loved the incline...and then they got to jump in the balls!

sullivan and the trampoline.... he even tried to dance while jumping... these boys love to dance!

henry is quite the jumper!

jump, jump, jump!

who knew you could sled indoors! henry loved to spin! it was so fun!

swings! they told us to go low & slow... oh we went high & fast...we coudn't resist! ha!

sullivan and a train... so much fun...but sullivan was pretty tired at the end of class... i think the train would have put him to sleep if he would have stayed on one more minute! he learned what button to push so he made it go all by himself... what a big boy!

henry, a ball and the dad... they had so much fun..!

today was great! we are taking a break from music class to try out MyGym for the next 8 weeks...I figured it would be a good idea to work on our gross motor skills before park & pool season arrives! The boys, erin (patrick's sister), patrick & I enjoyed a morning of climbing, riding, jumping, swinging, sliding & ball jumping! What a great time was had by all... the boys enjoyed all of the music while working hard & having so much fun. We can't wait for next Saturday! Woohoo!

haircuts at home!

we are so lucky that kate makes house calls to her good ol' friends! my goal was to get pictures of kate cutting the boys' hair today....but of course it was too nutty, and I don't have enough hands...so as a result, this is the only picture I took the entire visit... Sullivan being chased by kate.. he kept looking over his shoulder trying to get her to run after him... who knew he could communicate so well without any words! he's a trip! Diane was also here today for a couple hours... it was a full filled day... oh and even I got a hair cut during nap time... it was a very busy morning...pardon the pajamas... i figured we could stay in them a while longer than usual to get them all hairy instead of our play clothes! it worked out well....and I must say the boys are so cute in their diapers! :)

a few randoms....

sullivan likes to crawl & climb on everything... so here he is crawling under the ottoman trying to get up the stairs.... we use the ottoman as a little table with puzzles & other activities on it & it keeps them from getting up one set of the many stairs we have in this house... well, just barely!

taking a short rest to rethink his strategy! what a honey... i could just eat him up! love it!

henry and his elmo buddy! he even tries to feed him....

sullivan sporting his slippers getting on and of his truck like a pro! he loves his slippers! he calls them his "shoe" ...what a sweetie!

making music! gotta love mickey mouse, his music & all his friends!
