Knights

My knights in shining armor....

Matthew the Brave

Ryan the Strong

and Zach the Wise

Tonka Trucks!

Boys and their toys!  These Tonka Trucks are one of those things that come and go in popularity with the boys.  Andrew wanted to drive his around and somehow convinced the other three that they should be a part of the action. 

It served for a great photo op too.

Brothers 

Coloring

I had to show that my boys do indeed sit still at times.  :)  They like the standard Star Wars and Spiderman, but their new coloring favorites are Mario Brothers, Tron, and Hot Wheels.

Matthew and Jr. Jazz

We signed Matthew up for basketball this year and he loved it.  That boy loves anything that has to do with sports.  I need to be more aware of when the other sports are starting so we can let him try those out as well.  

He was a great little dribbler and had a good sense of where the ball was going at all times.  He worked hard on both offense and defense.

It looks like we'll be looking to get a basketball hoop soon.

Be My Valentine

Happy Valentine's Day!  I surprised Kevin this morning and heart-attacked the inside of his car.  I was trying to be really sneaky, so I forgot to bring the camera with me to take a picture.  I knew if I went back in and came back out he would suspect something, so it is what it is.  Kevin was sweet and brought me home some beautiful flowers.  And what would Valentine's be without the usual dinner of strawberry pancakes and whipped cream with my four little guys?  I know I look forward to it.

Frozen Yogurt

The boys have been working really hard to keep on top of their jobs.  They finished their chart for the month so we decided to try a special treat.  When we told them we were going to get some frozen yogurt, they were a little skeptical, especially Ryan who hates anything that resembles yogurt.  Once they saw all of the flavors and toppings, however, they were sold.  And once we explained to Ryan that it tastes just like ice cream, he was an instant convert.  They can't wait to go back!

Graham Crackers and Milk

Like mother like son.  I have always been a fan of graham crackers and milk and the boys have been kind enough to follow suit.  This is Andrew enjoying one of our favorite snacks.  Can I say how much I love this little boy?
