Brave little boys

Jacob and Benjamin both had minor surgeries today. Jacob had tubes in his ears and Benjamin had his tonsils and adenoids taken out. Both went very smoothly and they are doing well. They looked so cute in their little hospital gowns. These are the pictures they actually take there at the hospital and give to the parents.

Jacob with the nurse. He didn't even cry for the surgery. He cried when he heard the other kids crying.

Benjamin with Dr. Salley. He did great with everything but the IV but like mom, he has a thing about needles.

Bubbles, bubbles everywhere!

The boys LOVE bubbles but I get really tired of blowing after a while so with some help from Aunt Linda, they got a Winnie the Pooh bubble machine that they love. Here they are in action!

Because the bubbles come out of Pooh's honey pot, they call them "honey bubbles."

Benjamin tries to taste the bubbles.

So many bubbles!

Happy Easter!

Here are the boys all dressed up on Easter morning.


Benjamin, Jacob and Evan.

Fun in the Sun!

We had some really warm weather for a couple of weeks and so the boys wanted to get out in their swim trunks as soon as they saw me changing over clothes. So we got out the Dora the Explorer sprinkler on a day when it got up in the 80's and they had fun!

Fun in the sprinkler!

Benjamin's thinking, this water is cold!


Jacob is happy to get in on the action this year.

Evan likes to pose for the camera.

With the warm weather, they have also discovered the joys of ice cream. Here are a few pictures of them enjoying one of their favorite treats!

Benjamin's Loses His First Tooth!

Today, March 18th, 2007 at approximately 2:25 pm, Benjamin lost his very first tooth. He has been very excited about his loose tooth and is ready for the tooth fairy to come tonight!

Benjamin poses with his missing tooth gap.

Benjamin holds his tooth.

We put it in a Ziploc so we don't lose it for the tooth fairy.

Evan was very curious and concerned about Benjamin's lost tooth. He thinks we need to go to the store and get a brand new one for Benjamin.

Climbing Monkey Jacob

Here's proof that Jacob will try to climb anything, anywhere, whatever it takes for him to reach what he wants. These are some of the funnier moments.

Jacob climbed the onto the second shelf of the bookshelf where we keep diapers and Pullups.

This was really funny. He climbed out of the tub, onto a set of drawers and over into the sink where we found him like this!

Evan's Funny Faces

Evan wanted me to take pictures of him making funny faces so here he is at his silliest. Definitely the family clown!
