Spring has sprung

Alex put on his Daddy's work gloves before church.  I think they may be a bit too big. :)

"....what will I be when I grow up?..."

Alex still enjoying the mobile in the nursery.

Alex and Evan enjoying the library before story time.

Alex and Evan enjoying Cars.

Alex and Daddy at Red Robin.  Alex is pointing out that he wants the Mac and Cheese.

My mom made me these awesome birthday cakes.  One was german chocolate and the other was cherry chip. Both were awesome!!!  I can't wait until next year.

Alex eating his cereal for breakfast. Notice that he's put Mommy's healthy cereal (shredded wheat) in the trash area.

Alex lined up his trucks and cars at church, and even hid some where the bibles go under the pew. We were worried we wouldn't be able to get them out because our hands would be too big.

The closest squirrel was about a foot away from Alex just before I took this picture. He was staring inside the house. 

Alex enjoying Cars and Evan doing some tummy time.

Alex doesn't just line up his little cars.  Now he's lining up his big cars too. 

Oma enjoying some time with the boys. 

Evan hanging out while Alex is getting his bath.

Alex really enjoys dumping water over his head.  He finds it a hoot.

Evan and I one early morning. Figured I should get in a picture every so often. :)

Alex at touch a truck night.  He wasn't too sure about it at first, but then he got more into it.  I think next year he'll have a real blast at it.

Alex is not even as tall as the fire truck tire. 

Evan enjoying some time outside.

Alex looking cute.  His shirt says "It's not my fault I'm so cute God made me this way"

My boys enjoying a Red Robin meal after a long day of yard work.

Evan is ready to go to his cousins confirmation.

Alex tried on these PJ bottoms and they looked like old man pants and went up to his chest. :)

Yum yum fist. num num num num.

They are getting bigger

Yesterday we went to Alex's two year check up and Evan's one month check up.  Both boys are doing well and are healthy and doing well.  

For Alex here are his stats: Height 38.8 Inches (59%), Weight 23lb 13oz (7%) and Head Circ. 49.8cm (77%).  So he's still a light weight, but he's tall and has a big brain. 

As for Evan here are his stats: Height 22.8 Inches (78%), Weight 11lb 2oz (71%) and Head Circ. 39.3cm (61%).  So he's packing on the pounds and seems to be keeping up with his brother's stats. 

So on with the show....

Evan getting a piggy back ride from his brother.  One of many to come I have a feeling.

Alex was in such a rush to put on his hat he put it on sideways and his tail was sticking out the side of his head. :)

Alex wouldn't rock without Daddy, so here they are the rocking duo.

Alex got a ball pit and balls from his Aunt and Uncle Carter and he LOVED it.  However, after about a hour it starts to deflate, so... we put it up in Alex's room for about a month and now it's been taken down.  But he loved jumping and running and throwing while it was up.

The first swing of the season.  He had a nice time and keeps asking to go to the park now.

And this is how I get a shower during the week.  I put both the boys in a chair and go as quick as I can.   Alex likes to put up the sun visor on both the chairs and sit back and relax. 

Alex has gotten a lot bigger but he still fits in the Bumbo.

 Alex and Evan playing on the floor getting ready for bed.

Evan watching one of his mobiles. He doesn't really follow it too much yet, but in a while I think he'll really start enjoying it.

Daddy taught Alex how to get up and wash his hands. Now he can push a chair over and turn on the water... not the best idea.  Now I have to watch him even more closely while he's running around the house.

Isn't this kid cute!!

Alex got his baby sun glasses back and he was really enjoying wearing them again.  However, they might be a bit snug now and Evan will need them... so further down you'll see his new glasses. 

Evan checking out Daddy at breakfast.

More swinging.  These boys love to swing together. 

Alex really enjoys lining up his cars (and other objects) on the couch

My boys

Alex and Mike doing some yard work.

Evan in his first big boy outfit. He wasn't too impressed. 

Alex can stack like no other boy I know.  He stacks everything he can.

Alex ready for his bike ride with Daddy.

I love how Alex crosses his legs while he watches TV.  I thought it was even cuter that he folded his hands on his lap. :)

Here's my littlest man.  So cute!

On one nice morning we went out in our PJ's and enjoyed the outside. That was fun.

"Cheese!" Alex know's how to use Mike's tripod.

The boys playing on the playmat. 

My boys enjoying the evening outside. What great weather we've been having! The flowers are up and starting to bloom.  I love this time of the year.

Alex and Me eating breakfast getting ready for MOPS.

Alex lining up his cars all over the couch now. :)

The boys enjoying the crib.

Profile pic... I think they might be related. 

The boys at their check up appointment.  Aren't they cute in their diapers. 

And here are Alex's new sexy specs.  I think he might be a police officer when he grows up. He's already got the look. :)
