Luke has grown so fast!

Oh, wait that is Mavic!  This kid cracks me up - he has decided that Luke's Johnny Jumper looked like fun and likes to get in it from time to time.

Happy 4th of July!

We decided to stick around the house for the 4th of July and have a BBQ and do some fireworks.  Hunter and Mavic had so much fun, while Luke did not.  The loud fireworks scared him - poor guy! 

It looks like the fireworks aren't the only things that are HOT!

We could not keep Mavic from dancing around the fireworks, so we just let him.  He LOVED them!

SLEEPOVER TIME

Hunter has been begging all year to sleep with us in our bed.  We kept telling him we would do it after school was out and so we did.  We had a lot of fun - we watched the new Narnia movie and had snacks in bed.  When it came time to sleep Hunter kept moving around so Spencer ended up sleeping on the couch.

Opposites Attract

Mavic and I are so opposite of each other because I love to clean my house and Mavic loves to make messes in my house. 

I guess this is my fault for leaving Luke's powder out.  What you don't see is that it is also all over our couches too!

The best part of this is that he has done this 3 times - you would think I would learn my lesson.

Luke is crawling...sort of!

Luke started doing his army crawl a few months ago, but I am not as good at taking pictures and video of him doing it- sorry Luke.  I don't have any pictures yet of him doing the army crawl, but hopefully I will remember to do that. He has become so fast and is keeping me on my toes.  He loves cords and Lego's, so it will be a miracle if he makes it to 2 years old. 

I love how he takes rests from crawling by leaning on his side like a model.

Mavic the Artist

Mavic got tired of coloring on paper and decided to give his face a try.

My Birds

A few months ago we had baby robins hatch in a nest that is in our yard.  I became so obsessed and protective with these little birds.  Spencer told me that I took more pictures of these birds than of my own children - I think he was right.  There were 5 baby birds and I got to see them all leave the nest.  I was like a proud mom and I still miss my baby birds.

It's raining, it's pouring, the dragon is roaring

Several nights ago we had a major rain storm with thunder and lightening.  I had just put all the boys to bed when I heard some loud thunder and Mavic saying, "Dragon".  Every time it thundered I would hear him say dragon with wonder in his voice - so funny!!  I love that he isn't afraid of the possibility that a dragon is outside his window, but a puppet on T.V. terrifies him.

Mmm, Yummy 2

As if the toothbrush in the toilet wasn't yummy enough, Mavic decided to try something even tastier.  I caught Mavic in the bathroom again, but this time with a stool, a tub of Vaseline, and a spoon.  That's right folks my son decided to try out some yummy Vaseline.  At least this time he didn't say, "Mmm, Yummy". 

Mmm, Yummy

The other day I heard Mavic in our bathroom flushing the toilet.  I went in to find him dipping his toothbrush in the toilet then putting the toothbrush into his mouth, saying, "Mmm, Yummy".

Hunter's Short Lived Mohawk

A few months ago Spencer was cutting Hunter's hair and decided to tease Hunter by cutting his hair into a Mohawk.  Spencer thought Hunt would hate it and demand him to buzz the rest off, but Hunter LOVED it and begged Spencer to keep it.  We let Hunter keep the Mohawk for 3 days and then buzzed it off.
