Tigers!

I was in my room folding laundry when I heard mischievous giggling in the kitchen. These two little artists decided it would be fun to color themselves, although from the pictures it's evident who the

 responsible party was.

Andrew didn't seem to mind.  "Look mommy, I a tiger!" he said.  

Matthew Jr. Jazz

Matthew did Jr. Jazz again this year and he loved it.  He got to play with some boys that he knows from his soccer team, so that made it extra fun for him this year.  He is getting better at dribbling and made some really good shots throughout the season.  He is a good guard too and has a good sense of where the ball is going to go.  He had a lot of fun and can't wait to play again.

Nap with Daddy

Another Sunday nap for Andrew, this time snuggled up with his daddy.

Happy Valentine's Day!

The boys look forward to Valentine's Day every year, mostly because of the increase of candy around the house, but also because of our yearly dinner of strawberry pancakes.  We are big fans of having breakfast for dinner and what could make it better than having strawberries and whipped cream?

Zach's First Lost Tooth

Zachary lost his first tooth today!  His bottom front teeth have been loose for awhile now, but he was too afraid to do anything about it.  Today one was really bothering him, so I offered to "look" at it, as all good moms do.  One good yank and it was out.  :)  And believe it or not it didn't even hurt. 

He was especially excited to put it under his pillow for the Tooth Fairy. 

I can't believe how fast this little guy is growing up.  I had to register him for kindergarten yesterday and when I first got the email a few weeks ago I almost had a panic attack.  I honestly started to cry when I realized I would have three kids in school.  I am excited to watch them grow up, but I sure do wish my kids would stay little for a while longer.

Sunday Nap

We have the 1:00 - 4:00 pm block time at church this year, which means that Andrew doesn't get his nap.  He does pretty well most days, but sometimes he comes home and crashes around 5:00 pm.  Today he cuddled up with me on the couch and I knew he was going to fall asleep, but I just couldn't resist being able to snuggle with my baby boy.

Home Depot Cars

When we lived in Provo we were fairly close to a Home Depot and Kevin used to take the two oldest boys to their Saturday projects all of the time.  We haven't been very good at taking the youngest boys and we decided we better be more aware of what projects were going on at the Home Depot so we could get the younger ones involved.  Kevin was at the store today and noticed they were building race cars. Perfect!  He grabbed some and we built them at home.  

Kevin helped all of the boys spray paint them and put the stickers on.  They were excited to have a fun project to work on with their dad.
