The boys in the tub!

Ethan and Colby love to take baths. They usually end up taking two a day, and they ask to take even more!

A "Shell" of a Party

This weekend we had Ethan's 4th birthday party! I cannot believe he is already that old! He wanted a Ninja Turtle Party. We just let all the little ninja turtles eat a lot of pizza! Here are some of the pics. Thanks to all of you who came a spoiled him rotten! I still haven't found room for all the new toys!

Yikes!

Zak was really proud of this cake. He's taking all the credit for it. I think I helped out a lot...anyway, it did turn out pretty cute. (Tammy--are you impressed?)

Happy Birthday to our big 4-year-old!

It's a good thing he's so cute!

Colby can cause so much trouble around here! He is constantly into things he should not be. By the end of the day we are worn out! Although it is sometimes hard to do when we are in the middle of dealing with him, we just have to laugh at how quickly he can manage to find the next thing to explore. I used to think it was hard to keep my house clean because we have toys out...now I get to deal with a variety of random objects left all over the house. Some of his favorite things to dig out and drag around: cell phone chargers, my shoes, Zak's belts--usually with a pair of pants still hooked on, spatulas or whisks--or both, a bag of quilt batting (why do I even own this???), a curling iron, a box of Kleenex--which he loves to unload throughout the house, and anything from the pantry. People probably expect to see toys in my family room when they stop by, but some of the objects that often litter my floor may be a little more surprising. I guess if anyone is disappointed by the mess on my floor, I will just have to distract them with my cute boys.

Tuckered out

I always think the boys look so cute when they fall asleep in their car seats, and when they both fall asleep at the same time, it is the best!

Bug Ugly!

We found this bug right outside our front door the other night. It was huge! That is Zak's hand in the picture to give you some perspective. We also recently found out we have a snake and a family of quail living in our yard. It's like a desert zoo around here!
