For their fans

I have been a very bad blogger. I actually have had several emails from the boys "fan club" making sure that our absence wasn't for good. Sorry, I've just been lazy, no intention to stop updating about the boys anytime soon. 

Actually for the most part when we are not on here, it just means things are going really well and not much out of the ordinary to be said. So yes, no news is usually good news. When I told this theory to several of the boys fans however, they reminded I could at least share pictures every now and again. Oops. thats true, my bad. 

so here to make it up to you, some of my favorite recent pics:

 boys with Grandpa

 Alex and Daddy. LOVE it!!!! 

Alex reaches out often to hold our hands in his wheels.

Love!!! 

nothing more needs to be said!!!

I don't know if this is just a stage

but he doesn't mind posing these days for the camera.

my sweet boy

Alex: oh are you getting the camera out?

 oh okay let me set up

 ok here's my thoughtful pose

ha,ha such a ham!!!!

Nicholas on the other hand, not so much.

you have to catch him quick,

because usually as soon as he sees the camera,

smile is GONE

but its beautiful when you can catch it!!!!

Nicholas, you are my wild man

 THE SLIDE:

this is the boys newest obsession.

It was given to us by our friends/neighbors more than a month ago.

The boys ask to play on it morning, noon, and night.

HONESTLY.

We have kept it in the "play room" 

a.k.a the room that everything goes that we haven't figured out what to do with yet

along with some of the boys toys.

We are still trying to grow grass outside and have construction going on in the backyard

so having the slide outside isn't a great option.

The slide is the first thing they ask to do in the morning after breakfast

and its always a race there before bedtime as well.

(thanks Dan and Amy!!!)

  

Alex loves to crawl up

 and then just feels like the king of the mountain

hanging out at the top

before he FINALLY lets go 

and giggles his way all the way to the bottom. 

Nicholas now thinks he's missing something by just going up the stairs

so he's now trying to climb up the slide part. 

 holding on for dear life,

you know because its such a long way to go.

ha,ha

Nicholas' other favorite thing:

watering. 

everything

 including himself

even the pool

 I know its blurry

but still LOVE this!!!!!

doesn't it look like they are scheming here?

 Alex says "nope, totally innocent here Mama"

Alex is such a card lately.

Look Ma, no hands

 

can you read what his shirt says?

He should have been wearing that on THIS day. 

 ofcourse double trouble

 the boys have been keeping each other company

a.k.a. entertaining the other one

even when they are in time out.

Mommy *sigh*

ha,ha

I know to be effective, I need to separate them

but had to take pics,

soooooo darn cute!!!
