Brotherly love

Alex narrating this post. 



I know you've probably been wondering what we've been up to.
Momma means well but she just hasn't been good at regular updates.
I guess I'll have to take charge.

Here's my brother Nicholas.
He's going to LOVE me for sharing these when he's older, ha,ha.

 He loves beads right now. 
He's looking for more in his purse, ahem, I mean "bag"

Here he is trying to ask Momma for one more 


thats how it always starts, right? always needing just one more.....

oh me? nah, I don't care much for the beads
well at least I know enough not to get caught!!!!

I'm on the go, go, go
Momma says I have stronger arms than her
AND Daddy
oops, maybe I wasn't supposed to say that last part?
well anyway, I'm figuring out how to do LOTS of stuff
all by myself.

hmmmm. a cold beverage after a hard days work......

ahhhhhhh

Here I am drawing
which I like a lot right now
But I REALLY like
watching the chalk roll down the driveway


and making my Momma
exercise!!!!!

Momma says I'm more of the thinker,
take it all in kind of a guy.

My brother goes on and on
he's saying words like "more", "Elmo", "wheels"
and he LOVES saying my name over and over and over
especially when were supposed to be sleeping.
It sounds like "A-L-A"

I guess he can't figure out the "X" part yet but my parents
think its really cute or something.

I"m more of the strong silent type
but I am rivaling my brother in the squealing/singing department
Especially when my brother is trying to sleep during naptime he,he

my Momma says my brother tends to be the more wild and crazy one
He's got lots of energy

I definitely agree with the "crazy" part

For the record: this is the ONLY time
I let my brother push me around. 

I actually prefer when HE does the pushing
rather than my Momma
I like to go FAST!!!!!!



Yeah, he's okay.
I guess we'll keep him!


Momma still working on getting a good photo

this is as good as we'll give her together
for now......


I don't mind posing for the camera,
solo at least


some random favorites:

oh here I am walking Grandma and Papa
They need their exercise you know (he,he)

and here's a pic of our best buds
A little weird how we all look alike, huh?
(oh I asked Momma and she said I was at the store
with Daddy during these pics). 

Nicholas is in between the "other" twins, Matty and Ben.
Christopher is the "big" brother on the left.
He's FOUR!!!!!

This is our favorite hangout.
we get together at least every weekend

Momma says we point at their house
every day to go play.
she says we've all been very best (blessed?)
to have such good friends. 

!

we like just hanging out playing
but we go a lot of fun places too. 

we're quite a good looking crew, right?
Here we are at Strong Museum
with our best friends
The "other" twins are on the ends
Ben is on the left. He's the other crazy
in case you couldn't tell.
He and my brother get along GREAT
Matty is on the right, he likes to give me hugs
Christopher is the "big" brother.
Did I mention he's FOUR?
I can't WAIT to be FOUR

oh whats wrong with Nicholas you ask?
He might have spotted HIM about this time.
.....
What the heck IS this thing??????

Momma says I should leave you with one
more giggle......

I am an overachiever
so I'll leave you with TWO

the boys



WHAT? Daddy got Mama a new camera for her birthday?

you know what that means, don't you?
(yep, lots more pictures)
 
wait, maybe if we just give her a couple smiles,
she'll stand down. 

Nicholas: I can't look anymore,
the light, the light.
Is she still there?
  

Nicholas: okay I'll distract her
you make a run for it.
save yourself, save yourself!!!!!


Alex: I thought you said she wouldn't find
us in here?
(these were not from the new camera,
just iphone)

 and even when the pictures aren't clear
 the love is 


Alex finds he doesn't really mind
hamming it up for the camera. 















Nicholas doesn't generally stay still long enough
for the camera.

I have LOTS and lots of 
really cute blurry Nicholas
photos because he's always on the go.

that is until I find him props.
right now, he LOVES hats!

even if they are last years winter hats
that don't quite fit.


Doesn't matter that its still September
and 70 degrees

He wants to be prepared
REALLY prepared
If one hat is good,
two must be GREAT!

He's upset that the hat will not stay on.
so he's trying to hold it in place
Shirt says it all :)
