My Star

Ethan was nominated by his teachers to be the boy from his class for Star Student of the Month in September!! He was so excited. :)

Apparently he's a model of school spirit!

He received a medal at the PTA meeting, as well as a free Chick-Fil-A meal.

What a sweet boy!

Two Year Old Tiny

Ian and I worked on Tiny's cake together. Isaac chose the Batman theme, and I found a picture of this cake online and wanted to do it. The yellow and black parts are home-made fondant...YUM. :) As we were putting the last touches on the cake, Isaac sat on the stool and just watched in delight.

Ready for that cake now, please!!

I had to put this one because I love how the boys were all gathered so closely to Isaac as he was inspecting his Batcopter. :)

ELMO! YAY!! (And do Ian and Isaac look alike or what?!)

I can't believe it's been two years since Isaac was born.

Do you know how cliche it sounds to say 'time flies'?! Well...it does. Fly, I mean.

Lemme tell you some things about Tiny.

-- loves anything his big brothers love...superheroes, Legos, games, etc.
-- is still allergic to bananas. And has now learned that "banas" make him sick.
-- resorts to yelling really loudly when one of his brothers takes away his toys.
-- loves to give "huggas".
-- eats almost anything, except dishes with noodles.
-- looks just like Ian.
-- loves his baby sister, "Leena".
-- has just started saying "E-fee" for Ethan instead of "Ee-Ee". Lucas is still "Lee-lee" although it comes out often as "Loo-ca". Says Isaac as "Eye-ee".
-- will not sit still for long unless he's watching Dora, Diego, or the Backyardigans.
-- desires a blanket "fort" in his crib every time he's in it, which consists of his blanket from Grandma JJ put over the rails of the crib.
-- climbs out of said crib.
-- still has a big ole noggin...90th percentile at his 2 yr checkup! :)

Isaac is such a happy guy, and so very smiley. He's energetic and loving and stubborn. He's willful and sweet and cuddly.

We are so glad to have him. We love our Tiny!

Boys Will Be

Stick 'em up!!

The bubble guns at Grandma JJ's apartment were a hit. Was there any doubt?

A Year Almost? Really?!

Wow.
That's just SAD.

I have no excuses.

Well, I do. But I don't want to bother you by listing them. :)

SO!!

To start what is hopefully my new habit of (re)blogging, I'll tell a funny story and put a cute pic.
That should appease, yes?

On Saturday I was giving the boys a bath. Tiny was sitting by the drain when I started to drain the water.

Roo said to Tiny, "Watch out, Tiny! The drain sucks the water down and you will get sucked down! *pause* No, you won't. You have a penis. And a big belly. And a big noggin'!"

To which Tiny stood up and sticking his bootie at Roo, said, "Bee buh!" (Big butt!)

Ah I love my children. :)

Adding Fiber to His Diet

Why one should always pay attention to your 10 month old at Wal-Mart.

He was b-o-r-e-d with grocery shopping.

I thought, "Hey! A box of noodles! That rattles. How fun." and handed it to him.

A few minutes later, this is what I see.

Mmmm. Tasty!

Matchy-Matchy and Happy Happy

I love to dress the boys in matching shirts. I have since Roo was born.

However, it is really hard to find three shirts that all match.

Luckily I found three of the same shirt in just the right sizes at Carter's! Yay!

So here they are...

I love this pic because it just shows their personalties. Especially Lucas! :) Note Ethan's 'video watch'...my old Power Puff girls watch that doesn't work any more. :)

We have been so blessed to have happy babies. Here is evidence that Isaac fits that mold also. :)

This is how he usually smiles! Open mouth!

My boys do the best things!

Lucas loves to sing 'The ABCs Song' and 'Twinkle Twinkle'. He adds an extra verse to 'Twinkle' that Ian taught him ... 'When the blazing sun is gone, when he nothing shines upon, then you show your little light, twinkle twinkle all the night.'

Ethan always has some new karate or kung fu moves to show off...here he is demonstrating some special ones, including some with his bum. :)

Isaac loooooves his saucer! As you can see.

Loves of My Life

Here, again for your viewing pleasure, are 3 of the loves of my life being filmed by the 4th.

Dawn, Bonks, and Red Spots!

It's me again!

A month. Sheesh.

I am so bad at this! LOL!

Let's see where we're at.

Last night I finished 'Breaking Dawn'....

All I can say is:

Love love love love love.

LOVE it!!!! If you haven't read the 'Twilight' series...DO it. NOW. It is so good.

So!
We have had our new van for 2 months...and someone bonked it!

Argh.

I was parked at Barnes and Noble last Saturday to meet Mouse Cookie (Roo was a little unsure of Mouse)

and when the boys and I came back out, there were two dents by my back left tire! *sigh*







Luckily the guy left a note! YAY for nice people! Ian called him and on the phone he was really nice, too.

SO! Right now the van is in the shop to be fixed and I am in a rental.


Ethan wants to keep the rental because it is RED. His favorite. :)


As many of you know, I have started selling Tupperware!

YAY! Go me!!

Need any??


If you do, here's My Site ... feel free to shop!! LOL!!


Ian's Grandpa Harper passed away on Friday, August 1st.



He was a kind, generous, and fascinating man. He will be missed, but we know he is happy with his family that he is able to see now! Ian is going to be one of the pallbearers for his interment.


On a different note...


Here are some pics of the boys!

Here we'd had some pizza and for some reason the places on Roo's face where sauce had gotten turned all splotchy and red! I don't know if you can tell in this pic...

I love when they walk like this!! I think it is so adorable!!

And of course I made them turn around and smile. Love this pic!!

I caught them both 'reading'...I thought it was so funny they were just sitting by each other and turning the pages and enjoying their books!

And then Lucas of course wanted to get up and 'Eee!' for the camera! Who can resist?! :)
