Christmas Time

Photos from our holiday week.

Posing and not tackling each other (Not an easy feat)

Sam was a shepherd in our church Christmas program

Max very pleased with his Dream Lite from Santa

...but we think he loved his pirate ship from Grandma & Grandpa more

Sam received so many Lego sets this year, even his "Dream Present", the Lego Police Station

The New Avengers! Inconceivable Hulk, Micro America and Iron Kid.

Happy Birthday Sam!

Sam had his first birthday party with his school friends and cousins. They had some fun in the gymnastics room at the YMCA, where they did tumbling, an obstacle course and played on much of the other equipment.

Then we spent the afternoon with the rest of our family at the house. If you can't tell from the photos, everything was Lego themed and yes, he received lots of Legos too.

Done with Diapers!

The day I went in the basement and saw the Diaper Genie and the wipe warmer open and EMPTY, was the day I realized I wouldn't have to change another diaper. Well, none so far, but as of this blog post, Max is done with diapers!

We returned our last jumbo box of unopened diapers and traded up for Pull-Ups last weekend.

Max was the one who started it all. We were originally planning on spending the weekend after Christmas potty training. But instead, he surprised us by asking to sit on the potty, and he hasn't looked back since.

Wait Just A Second...Something's Missing.

Do you see it? Sam lost his first tooth! 
His tooth had been wiggly for about a week and he just happen to have a dentist appointment at the right time. With a little assistance from his dentist and some numbing gel, the tooth came right out.
The tooth fairy came that night and he got a whole dollar!

Halloween Happenings

Family trip to the pumpkin farm, carving pumpkins, annual Halloween party, and trick or treating with the boys.

The Start of Fall

Photos from our visit to the Vogel cabin up north last weekend and the gorgeous fall colors around the area.

Sam is in Kindergarten!

They do grow up too quick. It doesn't seem that long ago that we posted pictures of Sam heading off to his first day of 4K. Well, the fact that I don't always put a new post up each month might have something to do with it.

At any rate, yesterday was Sam's first day of Kindergarten and he had a great day. Getting back to school with some of his friends from last year and meeting new ones as well was enough to wear him out.

The tired one

Happy to be back

Family Camping Weekend

Photos from our family camping trip to Kohler-Andrae State Park.
Two boys + camping = dirty and fun.

Happy about the dirty feet...and feather.

Dirty Feet, and that was after just the first hour.

"Go this way." Max leads the way.

Sleeping at the beach...completely wiped out.

Max is 2!

This past weekend we celebrated Max's 2nd birthday with his family and some friends. Max was all smiles most of the day and had to hug everyone after opening each present. (no, everyone, not just the person who gave him the present) Max was also very excited about his Thomas the tank engine birthday cake.

Summer Fun...Upgraded!

Summer is here and we're doing our best to play outside and stay cool. Which usually involves water in some form. A pool, a water gun, a bucket of water, and even a slide. Well, the boys were more than happy to use their climber to slide into their little plastic pool, but we thought it was time for an upgrade this summer. Sam is completely in love with our new water slide, but Max...he's not quit into it yet, but he sure does love to squirt his brother as he comes down the slide.

Weeeee...

Most fun you can have with a slide and kiddie pool.

Catching some rays at Concrete Beach.

Time for an UPGRADE...BANZAI!

Can't hide forever.

Splash!

180lb. weight limit!? Rock on! Yes, I tried it too.
